I'm sure it will haha.
And I agree, that's like with any game I think. One you release one and it's a hit, then you'd only expect for the next of its kind to follow the same suit and excel that little bit higher. I've always loved the Johto region, as I grew up on Pokemon as a kid playing the original gold on the GBC, so it'll always have that little place in my heart, haha. I like Sinnoh too, but I've fouind that HGSS offers a lot more, although Platinum does out up a heck of a lot of content too.
