RSE Remake Speculation Thread

[slayerz96]

An RS remake is bound to happen, we just don't know when.

- RSE is getting old. Hoenn looks outdated. Hoenn music sounds inferior. At least Kanto is revisited in Gen IV, so it still feels fresh.
- The GBA game internal battery will dry out someday.
- Hoenn pokemon can be much easily obtained in a remake.
- Profit for Gamefreak.

Don't we also want the remakes to resolve the quandaries created by the fact that the Emerald plot could cause problems if merged back into the Ruby and Sapphire ones? And we also want the remakes to clarify Generation III's place in the timeline, right?

Plus it would be awesome to have all regions on the ds or dsi before we move on to 3ds or even another system. I dont think gamefreak are huge fans of the 3ds. I remember playing gold and silver and yellow and it seems like they jumped at gameboy advance laun hing along with it ( there was even a special gba crystal version you could get) then the gba sp ( which wasnt really a system change) but they still launched fr lg with it. Then the ds and they shot out pearl and diamond dsi and dsxl hg and ss. Now we have 3ds and they are making 3ds compatible versions. I think thry are trying to honor the fans more these days and dont wanna follow nintendos random new system every year pattern. In hindsight they could look at it as a great owe to the fans to be able to explore t entire. Main story universe on one system ( sinnoh, johto, kanto, unova, and hoenn)
Plus im locked in on the amount of purposeless dialogue and purposeless map tiles that only seem like its preparation for a hoenn revisit

I don't want them to make them for the DS, that system is now too outdated, graphically their will be no big gain from B2W2's so I'll rather wait for them to come out in Gen VI if they desire for all of V to be on the DS, besides Johto wasn't in the GBA generation so perhaps Hoenn will be left out of the 3DS.

No games before BW were released after a successor handheld came out.

But now its gonna be 2 years by the time the next games could be released. Changeover to 3DS is overdue and going to happen. There is no more games coming for the DS after this month, let alone next summer..
gamefreak had the 3DS devkit in their hands before anyone else too, surely theyve been working on something for the past 2 years with that?

Its more likely they would make all 3 than just 1.

Sets of Pokemon games and Version Exclusives go hand in hand.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

Now that would be interesting but it'll be pushing things if they made all 3, what could they put in an Emerald remake (if they do all 3) that they didn't put in RS remakes? It just doesn't seem likely to me. If the next generation is to do remakes I expect the names to be gems, perhaps Cintrine, Topaz and Opal?

[MiTjA]

Alright. I think its obvious there won't be remakes and that something new is coming next year.

But,
for any remaining believers, your wishul thinking comes to and end this very moment,
This thread can finally be put to rest for a few years again.

I bring you here, official word that destroys the need for this topic.

TPCi answered a handful of questions chosen by fans.
One of the questions was
"How will main pokemon games be different on the 3DS? In other words, how will the 3DS improve the pokemon experience and what can we expect? A new generation or remakes?"

Answer:
"We are not allowed to give a full answer. Meanwhile let me say, we are definitely working on something for the 3DS. This game will make use of the 3D features. It will be a new game, not a remake."

I'm not sure this makes the point you think it does LOL

[rocky505]

Doesn't disapprove RS sequels though lol.

So the question asks specifically whether it will be remakes and the answer is no... how could that possibly mean something else?

If more replies like that follow, then there really is no hope for humanity.

With NEW pokemon? Then its also not what this topic is about.

Ah yes because Game Freak would answer a specific question about an unannounced title truthfully , ah my mistake

[MiTjA]

They are talking about the next main games... and that they're not remakes.

Obviously they wouldn't say such a thing if the exact opposite was true, regardless if they could talk about that or not.

[Suicune™]

That changes things, kinda exciting to see what this new game could be especially being for the 3DS. Also, just out of curiosity does anybody know what was on Pokemon Sunday behind the "?" following up from last weeks preview?

Well if you say so.
I actually hope the next game is a new gen for the 3DS. If so I can see a remake in 2015 of course I'm leaning towards a new adventure in Hoenn . And if I'm not mistaken gen 4 had new evos and prevos of gen 2 pokemon so if we get some new Evo lines of gen 3 pokemon in gen 6 we could possibly get a game set in Hoenn .
Personally I don't like using the term hints , I don't think GF leaves " hints " in games ( unless its stated somewhere they do, if so my mistake) I just think there similarities and instances where they show that the pokemon world from past generations are connected

[C Payne]

That doesn't necessarily mean that it's the next core games either then; possibly a spin off, which is why I agree with what some others there are saying. The person may have been asking the question in regards to the main games but, the way they worded it, could allow for a 'twisted' response(a new game can mean just that, a new game, which means spin-offs included), just like how you can look at it as a single game because of them using it in the singular form. The answer seems more about the 3DS than anything; it's not a straight response aside from them saying it's not remakes.

Nobody can say for sure whether they do or not, it's moreso that everybody just grasps at every little thing that could possibly be related. I honestly think they do try to throw in things from time to time to get you wondering though, like what Steven said after the Lati event in HGSS or stuff we wouldn't even take as a possibility at the time, aka the dream world reference in Gen III. Call them what you want but they may be making references/hints to what we could be seeing in the future at times.

[Suicune™]

It could be a spin-off filler to fill in the time in the lead up to the announcement of Gen VI, the fact that it's a single game kind of supports this theory. It doesn't cancel out the possibility for remakes just yet, they asked if it was a new game or a remake and they responded by saying it's not a remake purely because of the question they had been asked.

[MiTjA]

I can see why they could mean spin-offs, since its TPCi and not Gamefreak, but still I seriously doubt they don't understand when a question is about the main games or pokemon games in general.

"It will be a new game, not a remake."

It will not be a remake, but a new game..

It implies, that they are talking about the game, which had the potential to be a remake if they wanted, in other words the next main game, which is what was specifically asked about anyway.

[C Payne]

The way they asked the question means that they could give a response that doesn't necessarily give much insight either; about all we know is that a new 3DS game is in development(as if it wasn't obvious enough) but we pretty much still don't know crap about it.

Someone with awesome french skills correct my translation if its not precise please, but said like this,
It will not be a remake, but a new game.

That doesn't mean a thing really other than that it will be a new game and it isn't a remake. I'm not even going to imply that they even could be remakes here; What I'm saying is that there are different meanings you could get out of reading something that vague at this point. New game + no remakes in the what response, with how they asked the question does not automatically imply that the answer was directly to the main games. If anything, it could have simply been their ticket to giving a response without 'spilling the beans' on much(like we didn't know a 3DS game was in development...XD) or maybe it is a main game, who the heck can know right now what they mean by this; Just look forward to hearing info on the next Pokemon 3DS game.

Now look who's grasping at a straw somewhat, haha.

Wow it's been some time since I've been adding into the discussion here.

[Suicune™]

The way they worded their answer is probably to clarify the question that they had been asked; "A new generation or a remake?" in which they answered "It will be a new game, not a remake" I doubt they would have said this hadn't they been asked the question the way it was worded.

I think this news puts the possibility of remakes on a hiatus, for 2013 anyway. After this game is released next year, it won't be long off until we start hearing news on Gen VI with movie hints and new Pokemon silhouettes since it will be half way through 2013. Only after the release of Gen VI is when remake speculation will pick up again. I'll admit I was adamant that we would see remakes next year, but now this has thrown it completely off course.

[Twilight-kun]

in all honesty, I hope they don't make the overworld spites any bigger...



they've doubled in size

[P0kelegend]

The question was definitely worded weirdly, and it strikes me that they would answer as to what the next MAINLINE game would be as if they were talking about that then I'm sure they would not give a direct answer which makes me believe that TCPi was just referring to a spin off - more specifically, Mystery Dungeon as that is clearly the next Pokemon game arriving internationally and will be in 3D.

I don't think they're talking about Mystery Dungeon since that's already released about Japan and the game they're talking about is "in development"
It was a similar scenario for Pokemon Conquest, so again.. it could be similar to that format.

[Emrald]

So, now we know we won't see Remakes next year...

Well, i'm going to hope for remakes in 2015 then.
