I do see what you mean there. I'd really hate to see XY prequels take the place of a Gen 1 remake, as Kalos is not Kanto, and Gen 6 is not Gen 1.

Maybe, they should, then, just make ORAS sequels, possibly even allowing you to travel to Kalos in the postgame. That would give Hoenn and Kalos a more direct link, putting them in the same timeframe. (Sadly, though, GF seems to be against the idea of 2 region/16 badge games, despite Gen 2's sustained popularity.)


That's true. HGSS came out at the very end of Gen 4, and as a result, they ended up being completely overshadowed by the upcoming BW (which were announced before HGSS were even released outside of Japan). While HGSS still had a few things BW didn't (like following Pokémon), they still missed out on things like Seasons, Hidden Abilities, and even fully animated sprites.


If a Virtual Console release was a viable substitute for a remake, they would've just put RSE on the e-Shop instead of making ORAS. The GB/C and GBA games are ancient relics with horribly outdated graphics and mechanics, making them a hard sell for anyone who didn't grow up with them. Plus, they can't directly link or trade with any of the newer games (especially in the case of RBY/GSC), and Pokémon games have always been about connectivity.


Virtual Console or not, I'd still give Yellow a try. Despite being older, it's a superior game to FRLG in many ways.

You can do it buddy! xD

Aww... Why? Got a similar experienced lately?
Idk Luke, I mean... I'm still hurting inside, appetite still low, crying from Saturday to Monday. How I should I word it? Like you know, he was part of my life, daily life? I didn't know and expect that friendship falling apart just like that can be as hurtful as breaking up from love relationships.

Thank you so much for understanding. :)

He is perfectly fine now. Still have to take meds until the doc stops him.
And... We're not friends anymore. xD I don't trust him and he doesn't me anymore, things have fallen apart now. I don't care anymore too. But I still wish him all the best.

Boredom, LOL. :P Plus, I am (a little) interested in what they'll do with the rest of Generation 6.

As you probably already know, hacking into the ORAS Demo revealed that there are exactly two more games left for Gen 6:
This, of course, rules out a solo "Z Version" happening, but on the other hand, Masuda also said in a Gamespot interview that they weren't going to do a "X2Y2," either:
With both Z and X2Y2 ruled out, what will these final two Gen 6 games be?

- Gen 1 remakes. This, of course, is the most obvious answer. Gen 1 last appeared in the same Gen and on the same handheld as Gen 3, so remaking them both in Gen 6 would be understandable, especially with the franchise's 20th Anniversary coming up in 2016.

- Gen 3 sequels. Masuda may have ruled out XY sequels, but he never said anything about ORAS sequels. Never before have remakes gotten sequels (that weren't other remakes), and with all the connections they're trying to establish between Kalos and Hoenn, it would make sense to show us Hoenn during XY's time to more directly connect the two.

- Gen 6 prequels. Or, they could do the inverse and give us Kalos during ORAS' time. Masuda didn't exactly rule this one out, either, and it would still be something we haven't seen before.

Our collab, I have forgotten a lot about it(it's bc a lot of things happened to me, think of it as some kinda 'sickness'). But I am fully aware of our collab's existence.

If you don't mind, can I just simply offer advises and thoughts, as in completely not taking part on the writing? The credits are of course completely yours in return. :) If you don't like this arrangement, then it's fine too. :) I'm just asking for your permission. ^_^

I highly doubt they would've ever put a Gen 1 Pokémon on the cover of a Gen 2 game. They still could've done something with Lugia and the Birds in the remakes, though.


Which is why the Route 5 daycare should be retconned into a breeding one. It's archaic and beyond unfair to make Gen 1 players wait until the postgame to breed.


I don't like that. The PCs should be functionally interchangeable, or otherwise, it'd come off as kind of sexist (especially since you're saddling the girl with the most overly cutesy Eeveelution).


That's just wishful thinking, I'm afraid. GF will never let Raichu have the spotlight over Pikachu.

Bad, bad, bad. xD
I was busy at work, and got distracted with some friends on the FB which explains why I am mostly out here.

I have not watched, a lot of things happened. But if you'd like me to watch and discuss about Free s2 to you, I'd be gladly to do it. Just remember to ask.~

I retired from my admin works too. :)

HGSS had snow on Mt. Silver (a place I actually wouldn't mind seeing in the games), and I think, rain at the Lake of Rage.

It's annoying how GF keeps removing these things from certain games. How hard is it to put all three (Day/Night, Seasons, and Weather) in one game?


Lugia's a no-go as it's already got its own location postgame story in the Sevii Islands. Cresselia fits much better, anyways. (Her counterpart, Darkrai, would also need a spot, though. Maybe, Rock Tunnel?)

I'd like to see the "Mt. Moon Square" from Gen 2 be added onto Gen 1 Mt. Moon, but larger and far more expanded.


I agree. Cinnabar should look very tropical (as well as the Sevii Islands), while Mt. Moon, as well as Pewter City, Route 23/Victory Road, the Indigo Plateau, and (hopefully) Route 28/Mt. Silver should seem colder.


By "first 251," I was including later pre/evolutions like Munchlax and Weavile. (Although, admittedly, even the GSC Pokédex would be an upgrade from FRLG's. :rolleyes2:)

And, on that note, the Day Care on Route 5 should be made into a full breeding Day Care, as it should've been in the first remakes.


Well, first, I'd have the player character see Ho-Oh flying overhead as they first step out onto Route 1 after getting their Pokédex (as an obvious reference to the end of the anime's very first episode).

Go talk to the NPC who gave you a Potion earlier, and he'll tell you about the brilliant, rainbow-colored bird he saw flying overhead (aka. the same one you saw). It dropped one of its feathers in front of him, and he wants to give it to you (as he had no idea what to make of it). He gives you a Rainbow Wing and tells you that he thinks the bird flew to the northwest.

After beating the Elite Four, you'll get access to Route 28 and Mt. Silver. Climb to the top, and a L70 Ho-Oh will be waiting for you.

Admittedly, Ho-Oh won't get as much of a story as Lugia, but that's mostly because it'll get more of the spotlight in the Crystal remake (where Lugia will take more of a backseat role, as it did in the original).


I think most of us want that to happen. (I sure as hell would.) This design would be soooo cute (if overlapping a little bit with Glaceon, color-wise). They could also go with something more like this as an homage to a certain cute purple dragon from another game.


Amusingly, Umbreon's the Eeveelution Blue's anime counterpart has. Perfect!

As for the other PC, remember that these remakes would set up both genders to be equally canon (as HGSS did with Ethan and Lyra), so either PC would have Sylveon if they're unselected. (And, similarly, either one would have Espeon at the end of Mt. Silver, as the Crystal remake would allow for either to appear as the Final Boss.)

Seasons, Day/Night, Weather... I'd want the whole she-bang. Ideally, it'd have an effect on what Pokémon you'd encounter, which would be a great way to mix things up. (Especially, if the Kanto Dex includes all of the first 251, as it should.) We could even have the PCs change clothes based on the weather (ie. a coat in the winter or a swimsuit/shorts in the summer), which would provide some form of character customization.

Am I forgotten? xD

[No message]

A bit of everything, really. Lately I haven't been much into books, but I'll read anything.

I see what you mean, there. That could work.

Well, Gen 4 isn't the next remake in line, so I'm fine with that. Gen 1 is more in need, period, and Gen 2 needs it for continuity reasons.

The biggest problem was that unlike the originals, FRLG and HGSS were simply made too far apart. (Which, of course, is because FRLG were made too soon.) A full half-decade and three other games (Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl), as well as an entire handheld, separate FRLG from HGSS, so the connection isn't as strong, and there are far more continuity issues.

I want the next remakes to right this wrong, and I feel like it can only happen if Gen 2 is remade alongside Gen 1 (or, at least, within the same Generation). Kanto belongs with Johto, not Hoenn, and Johto belongs with Kanto, not Sinnoh.

Don't take this the wrong way, but as someone who grew up with RSE/DPP instead of RBY/GSC... Maybe, you're not the right person to decide when Gen 1 should be remade.

You've said it yourself that Gen 1 is one of your least favorite Gens, and that you'd rather see Gen 4 (one of your favorites) remade before any other Gens. Hell, you'd rather see an Emerald remake before any other Gens. Gen 1 being inaccessible on the 3DS or being slowly forgotten by the fandom isn't a huge priority or concern to you. Nor, is continuity between Gens 1 and 2, for that matter, because you did not grow up seeing Gen 2 as a direct sequel to Gen 1. (You, instead, connect Gen 1 more with Gen 3, as those were the games you played Gen 1 alongside.)

Don't feel bad about this, because I'm the exact same way in regards to Gen 4 remakes. Gens 1 and 2 will always be my biggest priority, for better or worse.

And, how are people supposed to play and enjoy Gen 1 until then? It's already been more than 10 years since FRLG! How much longer does it have to be? When can Gen 1 finally have such "luxuries" as a Day/Night System and a Physical/Special Split? (Things that DPP already have, mind you.)

Well, remember that unlike Gens 3 and 4, Gen 2 is a direct sequel to Gen 1, so it should, ideally, be released very close to it, if not within the same Generation. You wouldn't put 5-10 years between BW and B2W2, so why do the same for RBY and GSC?

But, either way, Gen 1 HAS to be the next remake. As I've said for the millionth time, it's the last Gen that can't be played on a 3DS, so it wouldn't be fair to remake any DS games before it.

I'm not sure if the Sinnoh fans would like having to wait until AFTER an Emerald remake to get their FIRST one. Remaking Gen 1 before Gen 4 is justified because FRLG are older than DPP, and even remaking Gen 2 before Gen 4 is justified because the games are meant to be direct sequels to Gen 1 and should, thus, be released as closely to them as possible.

But, Gen 3? ORAS are likely to still be very much accessible and playable on the current handheld by 2022, while the same probably won't be true for DPP. Face it, your dream Emerald remake probably won't happen for a good 20 years or so.

I don't know why they decided to ignore Emerald in ORAS. Maybe, they thought throwing a few hints in were enough, although all they've done is (obviously) upset Emerald fans and make them demand an Emerald remake.

If there's enough of a demand, it's possible that GF could change their mind about DLC and release an "Emerald patch" for ORAS that includes things like the stronger GL teams, Juan, Champion Wallace, and the Battle Frontier. (They could even include a paired-down form of character customization and allow you to change the PCs into their original RS and Emerald outfits, along with altering their skin tones.) But, a full "Delta Emerald" remake just isn't going to happen, sorry. :(


That's good. It also doubles as an explanation for why the Gen 1 PCs ended up on Mt. Silver (and helps to put the girl on more equal canon footing with Red since we can literally see her going there, now... now all she needs is a canon name).


Possibly. As I said, FRLG (aka. the remakes of the games Missingno was in) were the first games Deoxys was available in, and like Missingno, Deoxys was found on an island. They also both had wildly unbalanced stats and changed in both appearance and stats depending on game.
