Actually, I can see some good discussion out of this.
If you've been keeping an eye on a lot of stuff in the previous two generations, they've been tossing in Kanto there, Kanto this, Kanto that. It's been toned down a bit in this gen, but the Kanto nodding is still there. This is probably leading up to what I think the next generation is going to be - a Kanto reboot.
This idea has already most likely been taken, but I'm definitely not copying anyone else's idea - the whole premise of it is that Kanto is one of the least accessible regions right now. Sure, there's VC RBY, but they're emulations rather than the genuine article, and were only shoved in for Pokemon's 20th. There's HGSS, but that was a more watered down Kanto and Johto was the main focus of the plot, not Kanto. This leaves us with FRLG, which is actually pretty dated as far as Pokemon standards go and it isn't really discussed anymore outside of ROM hacking circles. It should be noted that FRLG gave us an extension of Kanto in the form of the Sevii Islands, with which the concept hasn't been explored to much extent until Alola, which is somewhat similar in some regards. Also, the Sevii Islands provided an expansion to the Team Rocket subplot, leading up to the events of HGSS.
If anything, if they are going to do a strict Kanto reboot, they can't just copy RBY, but take from FRLG because it's more recent and people are going to get bored if it's RBY again, considering people played it on VC. And also, Kanto is a small region on its own, so it needs some expansion, such as bringing back the aforementioned Sevii Islands...or even shoving in Johto.
