My view on this subject is pretty messed up, haha. As soon as I heard there'd be remakes of B/R in the early months of '04, I started hoping that maybe we'd be seeing some G/S remakes. Then, when I got Firered and Leafgreen, I played and I thought they weren't that much fun. Weren't as fun of the originals. It felt like the games could've had so much more in them than they did, you know? I was pretty disappointed, and I prayed that we'd never see any G/S remakes, if only to avoid seeing absolute and utter failures.
Then Newsbot (what a guy) posted that thread, and the hints and speculation started pouring in. It seemed like nothing else but G/S remakes were going to be announced, but I still refused to believe it. I was half-hoping they were coming and half-worrying about them coming. Sorta weird, I know. So I logged on a few days ago and found out that the remakes had indeed been announced, and I knew that this was either going to be one of the greatest days ever, or one of the worst. I'm not going to be able to pick which one until I actually play the games.
