FireRed and LeafGreen were remakes, but they still are number 14 on the list of the best selling video games of all time. Doesn't sound too silly to me! In fact, when you think of it that way -- it's silly of them for not remaking Yellow!

To me, at least, the reason for not remaking Crystal would be because they have no need to -- they would be working on developing a new generation at that point. If for some reason they were trying to extend the 4th gen to stall the 5th gen (waiting for a new Nintendo handheld, perhaps), then they would remake Crystal.

They (As in G/S/C) are all relatively the same game except Crystal Version is just an extension of G/S; albeit, a remake of Crystal would be highly unlikely and completely redundant.

It's a nice dream though :3

TheOnion July 14th, 2009 10:25 AM

If GF is going to make another remake I'd say do R/S and be done with the remakes, as it will just be a giant circle then.
On topic: I don't think they'd make a Spirit Crystal(Although I like the name) because FR/LG didn't get a yellow remake but that has probably been said already.

IcyArceusRider July 14th, 2009 1:02 PM

I really don't think they'll remake Crystal Version.

The reason I come to this conclusion is because they're including a lot of things from Crystal in HeartGold and SoulSilver (for example, they're putting Eusine in HG/SS). And when they remade Red and Blue into FireRed and LeafGreen they didn't remake Yellow. So...I doubt they'll remake Crystal.

But I'd like it if they did remake it. ^^ They should call it either SpiritCrystal or MindCrystal.

GodofPH July 14th, 2009 1:27 PM

Given the lack of a Yellow remake with FR/LG, I think there's little hope for a Crystal remake. Even if I consider Crystal my favorite video game of all time, this doesn't worry me. As others have pointed out, HG/SS are incorporating several features from Crystal (such as Eusine), so it doesn't bother me.

Apparently according to bulbapedia: A trademark was filed for "Pokémon WaterBlue Version", however, indicating that this renaming may have been considered.

And I don't think there will be a crystal remake. What would be the point? If they did they would release it at the same time, me thinks

Saud-Blaziken July 14th, 2009 1:49 PM

i think after that they make remakes for the 3rd gen
there gonna make remakes for yellow, (maybe blue), crystal, and maybe emerald, and if any chance platinum.

Stronkadonk July 14th, 2009 3:47 PM

As bizarre and lame of a theory it sounds, it's actually quite logical. They've been making games in three, and HeartGold and SoulSilver are just a duo. I think that it is highly possible that they will be making a SpiritCrystal for Japan due for release in 2009-2010. It would be simply amazing to see a third Johto remake such as this released.

Pokedude45 July 14th, 2009 7:22 PM

duh Its a REMAKE!!

like FR and LG there was no LY (Lighting Yellow)

R and B had Y

G and S had C

R and S had E

FR had LG

D and P had P

HG had SS

thats how its been

Sweet Smoochum July 14th, 2009 8:47 PM

There won't be a Crystal Remake because they've already added Crystal elements into HeartGold and SoulSilver. The only difference between HGSS and a new Crystal would be the female playable characters. Which isn't much of a difference.

derozio July 14th, 2009 11:15 PM

^ I agree completely with you here lily.

CrystallineSeraphim July 15th, 2009 12:20 AM

Okay... don't shout at me if this has been mentioned before... but does anyone notice a connection to the aspects of the Kingdom Hearts universe to the naming of the new upcoming pokemon games?

I mean come ON! Heart Gold... Soul Silver

Heart -> Heartless
Soul -> UNBIRTH

and if this is thought of
Body -> Nobodies

so maybe the game will be called
Crystal Body... anyone even think of that...

poke-ranger July 15th, 2009 12:42 AM

No..I dont really see that..

I really don't know anything about Kingdom Hearts but I definitely don't think that it has any connection with the release of pokemon games.

mew² July 15th, 2009 6:24 AM

Well I do not see Spirit Crystal making any releases in the next few years. But we did not have a remake of Yellow, and I believe Japan did not get Water/Ocean Blue, so I do not think we will have a Spirit Crystal.

bobandbill July 15th, 2009 7:31 AM

I can confidently say that there is no relation between the Kingdom of Hearts games, and HG/SS due to the names. There... is none, really. Similar theme in naming, I suppose, but these are games made by different companies, which have absolutely no bearing on each other.

mew² July 15th, 2009 7:53 AM

Bob, I was simply asking if he could use proper grammar so I can understand what exactly he was flaming about. Oh well...

Anyways, I as well doubt it is in any relation with Kingdom Hearts though. Nice thinking though. ;)

Oblivion Reaper 2.0 July 16th, 2009 7:25 PM

Crystal remake: not happinig
you know why? because crystal was a spcial edtidon...

Diglett July 16th, 2009 7:36 PM

Considering that there was no remake of Yellow, I doubt there will be for Crystal.

Sarcastic Prince July 16th, 2009 9:43 PM

There will be no Crystal Remakes, and that's for sure.
There's no need to have any. G/S is remade anyways, why need a Crystal Remake?

Red July 16th, 2009 9:50 PM

Though, there will be no remake of Crystal, I like the name PureCrystal.

Red Totodile July 17th, 2009 1:48 AM

I don't think tey are going to make 1, but if they do, there is a big chance it will be spirit crystal, or maybe mind crystal?

This and the fact that there was no remake for Yellow.

Can't see it happenin'.

salmence33 July 17th, 2009 11:17 AM

I don't see a reason to make a new crystal version because they added everything from crystal to HG/SS

ReyRey-Pyon July 17th, 2009 3:39 PM

They can't remake crystal O_o
well, if they did i'd be a waste to buy it
since alot of crystals features are in HGSS, only difference the main female

and thats not much a difference, they haven't much reason to remake it >3>
plus
there is no Water blue (though the name is trademarked, there still is no actual remake of blue) or electric yellow, so yeah
