Nintendo releases new console every two to five years. So Nintendomay release the new console on year 2011 onwards. I expect the remake will debut on DS, not the new one.the new console won't be out for a few years. at least the graphics would be better than d/p/p
Yes, a remake would not be needed, but who can really say that they would hate a remake if it was announced tommorow.
Generation II is the best out of all four (in my honest opinion ._.). Now imagine strolling through Johto (and an extremely disfigured Kanto) with DS graphics and mechanics.
I hope Kanto is a bit less... Dead. I mean it's fair enough that the Safari zone is closed, I accept that. What I DO NOT like is how short Rock Tunnel and Mt Moon were (Although I loved Mt Moon square) and I also despised how Viridian Forest was gone.
I think they would mainly do it for Lugia and Ho oh because a lot of hand held gamers dont play the GC ones and didnt get them.
After seeing JAsmine in Sunyshore, I have a hard time beliving there won't be a remake.
Trust me when I say there WILL be one. The DS has survived a surprisingly long time, probably because of its innovation and popularity, so I assume it will be for DS. It'll come out in fall of 2009 most likely, as JPN usually releases them a year after each other.
