RSE Remake Speculation Thread

[Keyaki]

In terms of trading Pokemon, just like with Gen IV, in Gen V it seems to be almost impossible to get a majority of Hoenn native Pokemon, so a remake of R/S or Emerald would be necessary.

At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if they were on the DS instead of the 3DS. In fact I hope they are, despite the fact that I have a 3DS.

[slayerz96]

Gamefreak has been giving us clues about future remakes since RS itself. I suddenly thought about Slateport City Museum and remembered that it was a remake of the SS Anne theme in RBY. Sure enough the next games were actually FRLG. I don't think this is a coincidence at all. They can easily create another theme and use another boat or something.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

Also RS used stones of the same colors as the international RB, which interestingly B2W2 also use said colors in their logos with crystals no doubt...I remember some though pt was going to be pt to make it the reverse of the Gen II games theme and when it came true they used that as a hint for Johto remakes...

[P0kelegend]

It seems odd for them to put Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza on the cover of that tournament when it has nothing to do with Hoenn at all, and nothing to do with the 10th anniversary. I guess it could just be because Red (Groudon) and Green (Rayquaza) are Christmas colors and it is for the Christmas cup, so they could have decorated it with the Hoenn mascots since 2/3 of them are Christmas colors.

[XanderO]

Its more because the tournament announcement coincides around the announcement of the the Anniversary. Its common marketing strategy used by hundreds of companies. The Christmas Coke Commercials start in November. Some stores use popular characters from old cartoons that only surface a few times a year, but those never have anything to do with the cartoons.

We are about to celebrate the 10th anniversary of R/S and so far both of the things that came up recently have been made to help celebrate it. The actual sign ups aren't that far from the anniversary and it makes people look at it.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

I agree with Xander on this one. Also the dolls fit in too.
Plus the japanese mascot event going on as well for the aniversity...hope they make one for us international players... (also it seems a bit ironic that they have Kyogre for White2 while it's red and vise versa for Groudon and Black 2...yin yang ness I guess).
Though I don't remember them doing anything special for RG's 10th...for Gs we got remakes, and Rs we get wi-fi event, dolls, and mascots for a chrismas tournament.
Something I find unusual is that they don't have a Rayquaza event despite it being in the doll trio and the tournament...

[rocky505]

We don't have rayquaza because it was already given away twice this year.

[MiTjA]

Stop saying Lugia/Ho-oh were in Colosseum/FRLG/E. The time difference matters.
If theyd release GS remakes right after FRLG, there would no way have been Lugia/Ho-oh in those games.

And because its RS aniv not E.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

Than why include Rayquaza in the promotions?
Btw the bird trio was in Pt and later HgSs despite it already being available in the aforementioned game. I imagine the Regis are the same as well as Latios/Latias interestingly the Latis got the opposite treatment as the bird trio, going from region wondering to limited to one location.

No.., The first games are Red and Green however Red and Blue in US, some people still don't know this..

Gamefreak acknowledges that the firsts are red and blue internationally and so does TPC. Blue was also the real third game in japan so red/green/blue has always represented first generation. That's why those three specific colors have very little meaning or stands for 2 things.

Ironically, if you think about it (and this was prolly said when ruby/sapphire were released) gen 3 was prolly hints for gen 1 remakes themselves being the same colors as the original set. A little farfetched but nothing as bad as half of stuff said here and in grey's speculation. XD

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

^ Lol I mentioned that in the post Hyperhydra quoted.

Also the return to colors of BW bring things full circle... especialy seeing how the latest in White (2) forming the Pokeball colors. Speaking of Pokeballs the dreamball seems to me like it has some blue and pink (rubies vary from right to pinkish) like how the Parkball was said to be similar to the GS ball and had the games colors.

[HyperXhydra]

Well not every red/ blue color is a R/S hint, Steven says in B2W2: Emerald can be mined in Driftviel City?!, this is most likely Emerald remake hint or at least Hoenn remakes, I mean why he didn't say any other stone but Emerald? is this a coincidence?

Actually yes its a coincidence cause there are green emerald like crystals in Driftvell, though that has very little to do with game. Steven is a rock collector, emeralds are a precious stone. No surprise he'd be into it. If they were to drop hints it would be about the games that started the generation as they are the original games for the generation.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

Well unless they're hinting to only remaking Emerald...
Emerald's annivesity is coming up in a year or two so maybe the remake(s) will happen then.

[Emrald]

As much as I would love to see an Emerald remake, I don't think they will release that one game unless it had a sister game. Ruby and Sapphire may or may not come out next year. Personally I hope we do see them next year. But if not then that's fine to.

Not to mention the events being considered evidence against or not against should be considered invalid. They don't mean anything for new games. Events are made for one thing and one thing only, in order to catch all the Pokemon. Groudon, Kyogre's, and Rayquaza's releases over Wi-Fi is just to help complete the national Pokedex for those new to Pokemon.

We know we're getting RS remakes by the end of Gen VI due to the DSi/3DS not being able to play GBA carts, but we don't know which generation they will be in.

My best guess to the release schedule at this point, going by Japanese release dates, is:

Summer/Fall 2013: RS remakes (DS)
Fall 2014: Gen VI paired versions (3DS)
Fall 2015: Gen VI third version or sequels (3DS)
Spring 2016: RG remakes (3DS) - 20th anniversary
Fall 2016: DP remakes (3DS) - 10th anniversary
Fall 2018: Gen VII paired versions ("4DS")

I doubt Game Freak has anything planned out longer than that.

I doubt they even have half of that planned out.
They might have vague plans in the background sure, but they probably don't actually take them into serious consideration until the time when they will get around actually developing them.

[P0kelegend]

I just want it to be February so we can put the speculation to rest as to whether it'll be the next game or not. If a new Pokemon is revealed, well then we'd all know its Gen VI next. If we are getting Gen VI next though, I do expect the announcement to be in January like they did for Gen V.

For HG/SS, were Johto legendaries featured in a movie to promote the games release that year? I don't follow the movies too much so I'm not sure, since I'm thinking that if somehow R/S remakes are next year - then the legendaries might be in the movie.

I have a feeling people would contnue believing there could still be RSE remakes before gen VI even after we see a new pokemon.

There were Chikrita/Cyndaquil/Totodile in it, along with a spiky-eared Pichu.
The 2 events they gave out along with it were both known to unlock stuff in HGSS:
-Shiny Pichu, which brought to Ilex forest amde a spiky-eared Pichu join your party
-Arceus, which brought to Ruins of Alph activates the Shinto ruins event

But the main point is that the star was Arceus, a yet unrevealed gen IV legendary, whereas all gen V events were already given out in summer.

I've been wondering this for awhile, do we know who makes the Pokeball? Because there's this guy in White 2 and black 2, who asks where Pokeballs are made, which i'm thinking of could be a hint for either a remake of Hoenn or Kanto. I'm saying Hoenn or Kanto because both regions have big companies that produce Pokemon products such as Pokeballs.

It's Sliph Co or Devon Corp.

Devon makes more unique pokéballs though: repeat ball, luxury ball, timer ball etc.

[rocky505]

There's also Kurt in Johto, but just for the apricorns. Silph co. might ship some to Johto.

[Suicune™]

Happy 10th Anniversary RS, I doubt Game Freak have anything up their sleeves today.

[AwesomeAsCrawdaunt]

#1000 get.

If they don't make a Hoenn remake for 3DS, I proclaim the death of Nintendo to be upon us.
