Thigns FOR a remake of Gold and Silver:
-The almost unbelievable amount of references in Diamond and Pearl to Gold and Silver.
-The news report on the Red Gyarados.
-Jasmine being in Sunyshore city.
-Prof. Elm's report of eggs being mentioned.
-The SecretPotion's description mentions Cianwood city.
-BeBe has a friend from Johto. (Remember Bill in Goldenrod City?)
-In Hotel Grandlake a man mentions Lugia and Ho-Oh and their homes.
-When you present Oak's Letter to Oak, he mentions something about a White Rock in Kanto, which could be included in a remake.
-Gastrodon and Shellos have unused sprites, and their Pokedex data states that their colors vary by location, these color variations could be found in Johto possibly.
-The fact that Generation II and IV occur at the same time period.
-Though every Pokemon is available in some way, for most of the players, it isn't near possible without cheating.
-The original games are becoming un-playable as the internal save batteries are dying.
-And finally, Hidden in-game data showing the capability and very real possibility of trading with Johto based games. The Johto Location Data DOES exist in the games.
My opinion is it's not an if, it's a when.
its still an "if" in my opinion.
that is if you include the chance that nintendo will think its too much work and give up.
It happened many times before, so why can't it happen again?
and actually, johto is unneeded.
You can get every johto pokemon(including ho-oh and lugia) through r/s/e, FR/LG/, and d/p/p. The 3 dogs can be caught in FR/LG, lugia and ho-oh can be caught in nintendo events, and celebi doesn't even count.
there IS much more proof that there may be a remake, but there is really no need except to extort money from us again. It will be worth it if/when it comes out, but if anything, it will be because of money and the fact that you won't have to go to events just to get ho-oh and lugia.
but also, i was wondering what they will do with the 51-92 TMs.
are they going to include it, take it out, or just make it unavailable to find or get until the national dex is there?
i'm also wondering if they are going to make rock smash a TM, and flash an HM.
Oh, well, as long as it comes out, we'll know.
