Until we get confirmed info there is no such thing as facts.
So there is no fact that Berry Growing was removed from Gen 5. No fact that Contests and Contest stats were removed from Gen 5's coding. No fact that the Flutes lost their abilities are are only sellable items.
Xander I kinda disagree with you on the berry growing point. If you can grow berries in the remake is there a way where you can trade a mass amount of different berries to one game? ( I'm not aware of any , but I don't know everything ) so the DW berry growing would be usefull
Not entirely true as there are a large number of fans that dislike the Dream world as a whole and many more that use it just for Berry Growing. If the remakes appear with Berry Growing, the only time those fans would pick up Black/White is to transfer their Pokemon from that game to the remakes and then everything else would be done strictly on the remakes. There wouldn't be any point for them to play the Dream World now that there is normal Berry growing procedures.
The whole All Hoenn Pokemon being catchable already is not proof at all. All Johto Pokemon were catchable in Gen 3 and could easily be transferred over to 4th, thus making HGSS as Xander would say pointless. Why did Game Freak make HGSS. Money. Just like in DP when we spotted hints at Johto we have already spotted hints at Hoenn in BW.
With a huge difference of Gens 1 and 2 could not link up to the newer Generations in any way, and the core legends could not be caught outside of their respective games. As it is right now, there is no point as Gen 3 can still link to Gens 4 and 5. You can still buy DS Lites in stores and they are selling more that the i and 3D systems right now due to low cost. Until Nintendo does a full switch to 3DS the need for R/S remakes is minor. They'd also make more money holding off another year or two for a full 3DS switch as the frenzy for the game would have reached Critical mass by then.
All the so called Hints were also nothing more than coincidence as there were other references. There are a ton of D/P references in B/W as well, by this logic, we are getting D/P Remakes as well. They also mention Kanto a lot of times, again remakes of Red and Blue again.
Even though most people were expecting one Kyurem form, their opinions were still more right than your opinion because you were saying that Cobalion or Landorus have better chances to be mascots. You were also saying that there was no proof Kyurem is related to Zekrom and Reshiram which was obviously completely wrong.
At the time before the two forms were released, no it was not completely wrong. There was absolutly no proof, game, anime, or Manga wise that Kyurem was related to Reshiram/Zekrom. Gamefreak still does not give them a relation other than Kyurem can transform thanks to stealing some their powers. If you relate it to other thing similar to this (which is a HUGE stretch) That's saying that Cell is directly related to Every last DBZ warrior. Horrible match up as that is. Gamefreak still has not clarified how Kyurem has his power and we will not find out 100% what his full power is until the movie airs.
We still do not know any of Kyurem's Backstory other than the legend in Lancousa Town. Which still conflicts with the Origin Story told by Ghestsis.
The same thing was being said about Gold/Silver remakes. Most, if not all Johto Pokemon were available in gen 3 and 4 games, even Johto starters in Emerald. So why would we need them? Because Nintendo wants to sell more, that's why. It's true that R/S remakes are not really needed, but people will buy them anyway, so Nintendo will make them.
Also, Regis are available in Platinum only by having event Regigias, so not everyone had chance to get them.
People will also buy a Main System game with all the regions in it, but Junichi Masuda has openly denied ever wanting to attempt such a game.
System of rematches with Gym Leaders was removed two times. It depends on game concept with system will be featured. Contests are decided to be exclusive system for Hoenn and Sinnoh. I think it was decided because of anime - Contests were important in Hoenn and Sinnoh saga, they were good for making many extra episodes. In fast-paced Unova saga there is no time for Contests, so they were dropped in B/W. In HG/SS there are no Contests obviously because they weren't in original G/S/C. In R/S remakes it's very likely Contests will return because they were in original R/S/E.
Gym Rematches are only Available in Remakes and third Titles. Thats the only time they exist. As for contest, Anime says there are Contests in every Region. They started with Hoen and May, continued into Kanto with May, May left to continue as a Coordinator in Johto's contests while Ash ventured to Sinnoh and met Dawn, later to be reunited with May near the end where May and Dawn participated in the Wallace Cup.
Unova replaced the contests with Don George's Battle clubs/Tournaments. There have been two so far and it looks like it'll be a running event until the end of the Anime season. As for how fast its moving, it doesn't feel like its moving any faster than the other regions, especially since the Anime never follows the full line of the Games, filler wise they are going about as fast, keep in mind that there have been 3 or 4 episodes removed from listing in both Japan and International.
Even just comparing contests between generations 3 and 4. Originally 5 Halls which was later shrunk to 1 to give way to the introduction of the Battle Frontier. Gen 4 only has one main hall despite having many in the Anime. Game wise they weren't liked that much, almost being completely removed in HG/SS by the Pokethon, till keeping the rough stat system, but changing the name of the stats. Which was fully removed.
One thing I was bummed about them removing was the mini games from Platinum. I loved those.
Game Corner was removed due to all the complaints about the gambling issue.
I know we won't be seeing any more main game information for another 4 or 5 Months at the earliest. Gamefreak is breaking trends, so there is no definitive proof we are getting remakes. The "But fans want it so they'll make it" also does not mean much at this point. Fans wanted "gray" we got Black 2 and White 2. Fans want a game with all four/Five regions in it. Gamefreak's President said maybe later if the future when I like the idea more. (Paraphrasing cause he did shut down the idea when presented as the question was about a Main System Pokemon Game though he still liked the concept, just doesn't want to do it right now.)
We don't even know what Black 2 and White 2 are either. I mean we know they are Sequels, but so was Gold and Silver. We don't know anything about the games about to darken our doorsteps. Once we do, We know gamefreak will wait out another half a year or so before leaving us a candy trail to Third Gen Remakes.
