Game size does not expand; what you seem to be mixing up is Megabits (Mb) and Mebibytes (MiB, or erroneously, MB).

The theoretical maximum size of a GBA game is 256 Megabits - 32 MiB. The Game Boy Advance development kits are designed to work around this limit as the programming pointer system can only address 256 Mb. On the other hand, the theoretical maximum size of a DS game is much much higher than 32 MiB. We've seen 256 MiB games, so if that's all we'll ever see, the maximum would probably be 2048 Megabits.

Getting back on topic, the hurdle with including Johto would be development issues, costs or time. It should be said that FireRed and LeafGreen use about 5-6 MIB of the 16 MiB available in its game cartridge - a ROM hacker could tell you that much more could be stuffed in. Platinum didn't use all of its available space, either.

That solved a lot of confusion! So you mean to say that a lot of additions can be made to the HGSS if all of the space of the NDS cartridge is used?

I am doubtful, yet I am also hopeful.

This would mean that DIVE would have to make a comeback.
(Assuming this information is correct)

The more I think about it, the more I get doubtful on hoenn being in HG/SS. According to me: there have been only two remakes: FR/LG and HG/SS. They both are from 3rd and 4th gen respectively. FR/LG were remakes of the first Red/Green. They introduced some new features and some side-quests. Even sevii islands were added to make it a little longer. So as FR/LG didn't changed anything from the originals but only added new graphics, sound, some side quests and a little bit longer gameplay I think that even HG/SS will also do the same. HG/SS will have a revamped jhoto and kanto + Graphic and sound improvement + a little bit longer gameplay and some side quests. Thus I am assuming that hoenn won't be in from now on. I think that hoenn will be there maybe for 5th gen. I know that NDS cartridge has enough space for hoenn but its unlikely that it will be in.

It is also possible if they want to have a complete reboot for gen 5.

I don't think that Hoenn will be in the game.
I still remember Silver. When I came to Kanto my Pokemon were very strong. After beating all 8 Kanto Gym Leaders my Pokemon were unbetable! They were at very high levels!
And if Hoenn is in HG/SS then the Pokemon in the Hoenn Gyms would be at Lvl 100 o_0
And the Pokemon League in Hoenn? Which Level will the Pokemon have? Higher than 100??? :D

The reason why there are 2 regions in G/S/C is that Jotho doesn't have a Pokemon League. But Hoenn has one! So it won't be in the game.

wow..really? sorry... i dindnt know that before about playasai... Well know i do so thanks! But who'd edit such a rumor on a major site like that?

billi1000 July 9th, 2009 3:21 AM

ya shinyblaziken u make a very strong point there, Johto always had Kanto on side of it since they had the same pokemon League, and Hoenn has its separate pokemon league so i dont think the game can be made that long... if youll have to go through all of hoenn and then its league, no i think it will happen, nintendo will save that for a nother game, if it were to be in the game, a small portion willmake alot more sense, to catch the legendary in and maybe some other sidequests, well we ll have to wait for next wednesday for corocoro to come out to find out...

s0nido July 9th, 2009 3:23 AM

No. Just NO. This IS a remake of GSC, and we all know that GSC had TWO regions only. So I do not believe for a second that Hoenn would make its comeback in Hg/Ss. Besides, it's too early for a remake. They'll probably include the Sevii Islands as an extension to the Johto region, since they shared many similarities with Johto, like wild Pokemon and music.

Ryanniny July 9th, 2009 4:13 AM

I'm not expecting Hoenn in the game,
but i wish everyone would stop mking the whole "ITS A REMAKE" point, because theres going to be new stuff
if you want a true remake, just re-play gold & silver on the GBC
theres obviously going to be new things, i personally think adding Hoenn would be sweet, however unlikely.
admitted yes, its not a remake of RSE, but its still gonna have the remake of GSC that everyone wants
so why complain about extra stuff?! you're just getting more for your money,

Dawn's Hat July 9th, 2009 4:20 AM

I bloody hope not. IMO, Hoenn was awful and if it was included, I wouldn't buy the games.

bobandbill July 9th, 2009 4:28 AM

Well, this thread is kinda going nowhere fast. No point having everyone post their apparent like/dislike for the Hoenn region here, and as stated before, all of this came from a website which can - and did - have its info edited by a customer/random person, and someone who makes the kinds of rumours which crop up with every major game and have, in my experiance, turned out to be fake. (After all, people who work for Nintendo and so forth are not allowed to tell people such info).

It's vaguely possible, but not given this 'info' at all, so am closing. It's only worth discussing if Coro Coro or something like that actually states it outright that it will happen.
