I suppose they could release it for some home-console like Wii U, and have it resemble games such as XD: Gale of Darkness, and if it does turn out to be the case, then I personally wouldn't have any trouble adapting, as I've already played those type of Pokémon games before. It'd be pretty interesting as well, to explore Kanto in a different graphical environment. I'm not sure if same could be said for those who haven't, though.

I'd like a Yellow Remake. Also, they could have the Sinnoh Starters available because Processor Rowan was in Kanto at this time, with their new Mega Evolutions. I'd buy a Wii U just to get this game, if it was for that specific console. (I mean, come on. The Wii U is failing, but they have the resources for a game to save them! Plus, I've been meaning to get Wind Waker HD...)
As unlikely as I feel a specifically Yellow remake is, I think it's basically impossible to be on the Wii U. =p Game Freak have said they have no intention to do Pokemon projects on it in the past (which isn't surprising - what they do on handhelds works to the tune of millions of sales every generation), and it doesn't make much sense; part of the success of Pokemon main games is that they were on the handhelds. Colosseum and XD were the closest to the main games, and still differed in style and various mechanics (e.g. lack of wild Pokemon in routes). And those games were made by Genius Sonority; a Yellow remake really would only be made by Game Freak (their game, so their rights).

(And anyways, the Wii U picked up in sales with Mario Kart and that promotion they had, unsurprisingly).

A Pokemon Yellow remake sounds like it should allow for us to go to all regions like Ash did...so I think that one should be saved until the end...

A Blue remake seems more likely. I don't think they'll do it this generation as the Kanto legends are all available in XY minus Mew which may end up being in OrAs. As are the starters.
Maybe next generation. Even then I'll prefer a future Kanto game that takes place at the same time as B2W2XY, or even just BW seeing how we've seen Kanto in the first two of the four different main points of the timeline.

Altius August 26th, 2014 8:28 AM

Don't flame at me for this. I find the Kanto mainland to be absolutely stale. The only place which is rather interesting is the Seafoam Islands. The rest of the region just seems really boring with trainers and stuff.

It is the region that started it all, but sadly Kanto isn't even as exciting as Unova (which is one region I terribly dislike).

Hence, I say no to another Red/Blue or Yellow remake. We don't need more Kanto. It's overhyped like crazy. The games are fun, but Kanto appeared just too many times.

First: Wii U isn't gonna happen. It's gonna be on 3DS or a new handheld in Gen VII, hands down.

The idea of having Rowan there with the Sinnoh starters is a FANTASTIC idea. I think it's better than the Sevii Islands idea actually. It fits in the timeline and it may give us some insight into what he found when he visited.

Just imagining it makes me excited. It'd also be a great way to re-introduce those games to younger fans who missed out on the originals and the remakes and find the games too "old" to enjoy (you know what kids are like with graphics and all that) so another remake 10 years on would be welcome.

To me, I feel like they've already done this with X and Y. Professor Sycamore gives you Kanto starters, Santalune forest is amlmost an exact carbon copy of Viridian Forest in Kanto, even the name Kalos sounds like "Kanto" haha. Kalos is closely tied to Kanto, why they did this I think that Gamefreak wanted to commemorate the tremendous milestone of having Pokemon in 3D by paying homage to the very first players. Which was very much appreciated, because I'm one of them. I still have my Pokemon Blue version sitting on my shelf 3 feet away from me as I type :).

I would definitely love a 3D remake of Red and Blue eventually, but with the release of X and Y, they needn't be hasty I feel.

tzujm33 August 31st, 2014 7:19 AM

I would dislike a bare remake of fr/lg or r/b. However a remake where they change the dungeons, routes, cities, maybe even the storyline a bit (but not to a point where it becomes a diffrent game) and make the trainers having diffrent Pokemon and higher difficulty etc. would sound good to me, they could call it pokemion thunder yellow and release it in the 20th year anniversary.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 1st, 2014 9:14 PM

Shouldn't it technically be Red and 'Green'? Since Green is the original second version, plus it was the one that was chosen to get remade back in Gen III. GF may want to keep the whole "peaceful" meaning of 'Green' (which is said to be the reason they didn't go with WaterBlue) for future re-remakes.

If they are made then I foresee people wanting reremakes of Gold and Silver...

I'll prefer it be WaterBlue, MindCrystal (my own idea of what a possible Crystal remake could be called), and DeltaEmerald to be remade later down the road as the pair versions are already getting/got their shots.

Splash September 2nd, 2014 3:58 AM

The only thing Id like added on the remakes are the inclusion of the rocket executives present in HG/SS. It would make sense to include them and maybe add a bit more backstory if possible. Also Silver could make a cameo.

Hiatus September 2nd, 2014 5:27 PM

I could imagine a lot of characters making cameo appearances, and not just Silver, as it seemed to have become a regular thing every since generation four.

There's a theory that the last two executives you fight in the Sevii islands are connected, or are the executives from the Johto games. Perhaps if they remake Firered and Leafgreen they'll acknowledge or rebuke that.

Silver was also mentioned in the original remakes.

Splash September 2nd, 2014 7:35 PM

Silver was mentioned? I played firered a billion times but I havent spotted that lol. Somebody provide me a photo or link please :D

Well it was more of a reference. His bulbapedia page mentions it at the top, here's the sentence: "He is the son of Team Rocket Boss Giovanni, and was long speculated as such due to the reference made toward Giovanni's red-haired child in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as his Pokémon Adventures counterpart also being Giovanni's son."

A rocket Grunt mistook Red as Silver but later said that Giovanni's son has red hair so he couldn't be (funny how his name is Red and all that...)

So Silver appear in the reremakes wouldn't be so far-fetched.

Splash September 2nd, 2014 9:06 PM

Ah I see, I woosh through what the grunts say so I guess I missed it or something lol

Hiatus September 3rd, 2014 6:45 PM

If he does appear, however, I can't imagine us to be able to battle against the guy, because timeline-wise, he's yet to start his Pokémon journey.

He first gets his starter by stealing from Professor Elm in GSC, which takes place a couple of years after those events in Red, Blue, and Green, if I'm not mistaken.

EvDevKevMelv September 12th, 2014 6:22 PM

YES! I recently made a thread about this very thing before realizing that this was already made!

Wicked3DS September 14th, 2014 7:52 PM

I think seeing Silver in a Red/Blue remake would be pretty cool. It would be cool to see what he was like before Giovanni's disappearance.

Unless he had a Pokemon Giovanni gave him, which he could've released later on to forget his father who abandoned him.

Actually, that could work! Though, I do remember reading somewhere that you have to be at least the age of ten to be legally training and capturing Pokémon; now, I'm not really sure if this applies to games or not, but if it does, Silver would be sort of younger than that around generation one of games, supposedly, so if he does get a hold of any Pokémon, somehow, it probably wouldn't make much sense, unfortunately.

Necrum September 16th, 2014 5:54 PM

Preschoolers have Pokemon, so I think that young Silver would be able to. And even if it weren't legal, his dad is Giovanni, so I doubt it would matter much.

I think I'll avoid discussing my lack of faith in this becoming an actual game, and just talk about what would be cool about them. Firstly, the Vs Seeker being brought back would be pretty friggin sweet, I must say.

SubVirus September 16th, 2014 7:19 PM

What i'd really like to see that I haven't seen nintendo or pokemon games in general is a Phone/Tablet port or upgraded version etc. I'm assuming its an agreement they have with nintendo or something related. Not an emulated version but a built from the ground up code base for a tablet or phone.

Buuut I'd also buy a remake with 6 gen enhancements for any generation prior to generation 6, i really like what they've done here. Mega evolution is the least used feature for me though. but everything else is nice :p

Or perhaps give Kanto a device like the Pokegear, Pokenav, ect. that has a Vs Seeker like function.

Kanto isn't a bad region at all. It suffers from limitations in design, because, let's face it, the games are originally from the mid-90s and made for the classic Game Boy, so they couldn't have stuff like volcanoes and waterfalls. But what they did with the resources they had was pretty good.

Also, Kanto is the least linear region in the series, how can it be bad? It would probably only need a better postgame to keep it fresh. Of course it's not as flashy as Hoenn, or Sinnoh, but that's because it's mostly an urban region.

I don't think we'll get any new games in Kanto, but we can never have enough fanservice of it. Without Kanto, there would be no Pokémon.

I understand that. I even acknowledged it in another post I made. However, I still find Kanto being excessively overhyped. It is a fine region, but there are other regions out there which deserve more attention.

I disagree. More attention than Kanto? The region which started it all? Also, I don't find there's much attention given to Kanto since HGSS. Sure, we got the starters in X and Y, but that was pretty much it. Very far from being "excessively overhyped". It's like saying there are other Street Fighter characters which are more deserving of attention than Ryu.

Plus Hoenn for example is getting plenty of attention this gen. They got a remake and a **** ton of Megas. Right now I even believe it's the region with the most Megas. IMO that's not really deserved compared to Kanto for example, since Kanto has bigger importance in the series than Hoenn.
