Like I've said before, remaking the game wouldn't be for the Pokemon you obtain. It would be to go through the region like you did in 2003 (most of us anyway) and battle the trainers, the gym leaders, Team Aqua/Magma, and just savor the region and storyline. So yeah, it's got those Pokemon, but we're remaking the game, not the Pokemon. I know in Pokemon the Pokemon are obviously important, it's the name of the [doggone]* game. But I think the point of remaking it now would be to update the region, the story, the characters, etc. The Pokemon go with use onward to future generations, the region and people don't, and it would be great if we could relive it, redone and restored. Does this make sense?
Basically, it's not about getting the Pokemon, the timeline, the canon, all the crazy posts I personally don't feel like reading. It's about the region, people, and going on the adventure anew.
