It would be nice if there was a Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Remake for the DS, considering that the graphics in the 3rd Gen were'nt too great, and remaking it would change people's minds about how "bad' the 3rd gen was. I would buy the remake if they decide to make it, it would be quite nice.

I really look forward to these remakes now, since now they'll probably include what B/W include that is new, such as the pokemon moving in battle and seasons and such~

Not sure if anyone already talked about this here, but in Heart Gold/Soul Silver:
Spoiler:



Just go to Celadon Mansion and check it by yourself :b
Also, the books in the bookcase are Red, Blue & Green (R/S/E)... okay maybe that's just me but that's still a good point, I'll add it to the OP, thanks for that!

not to mention the story about the team magma and aqua Xd i love team magma uniform.

soul and heart are 2 great game but the knew black and white are....let's just say that the pokemon dont really look like pokemon :P

Also people say that R/S wont get remade because they we're for the GBA, well if that's the case then the only two games to get remade and will ever be remade are Red/Green & Gold/Silver, however, with Nintendo bringing out new systems, just take the Dsi for instance, that no longer has a GBA slot nor do any of the other systems following (Dsi XL, 3DS) so if that's the case, they are in the same position as R/B & G/S therefore a remake is plausable.

Pokemon MindRuby and SpiritSapphire
i know "mindruby" sucks, but "Spirit Sapphire" is good

what?

The Game Freak employee is talking about Heart Gold and Soul Silver. There isn't any deep meaning to that dialogue, just a use of the present tense.
It dosen't make sence if it's about HG/SS, giving that the dialouge is in HG/SS.

^ Exactly, so I think that they are talking about R/S/E remakes. I mean, it could maybe mean HG/SS, but it seems unlikely since that dialogue is in HG/SS.

I don't think that this has any relevance but today, Nintendo revealed

"In addition to this, they confirmed that there are 3DS and Wii titles in development for the Pokémon series"

And for every New console (major console) there has been a new game

(Red/Blue) - Gameboy
(Gold/Silver) - Gameboy Colour
(Ruby/Sapphire) - Gameboy Advance
(Fire Red & Leaf Green) - Gameboy Advance SP
(Diamond & Pearl) - Nintendo DS
(Heart Gold & Soul Silver) - Nintendo DSi
(??? & ???) - Nintendo 3DS - Possibly Sapphire & Ruby Remakes.

Yes it does. Their dialogue is talking to the player about what developing HGSS was like, seeing as there isn't a way for the player to be told this before the games come out.

Perhaps you're forgetting that the same people in both Generation 1 and 2 talked about the very game they were in, not about some future game.

I do wish people would stop grasping at straws.

Okay people calm down it's just a guess.

Anyways, I really hope that these remakes will be for DS, because I have no interest in the Nintendo 3DS thing.

Not very. This idea comes up every few pages, and well, when was the last time you saw Game Freak involve the cartoon in their games in anyway? Yellow was a quick way to cash in on the show's unexpected success, and a way for Game Freak to buy time while the development of Pocket Monsters 2 (later going on to become Pokémon Gold and Silver) was restructured for the Game Boy Colour.

A yellow remake would basically be the same thing as a Red and Blue remake. And not to mention that it's been done before.

Anyways, I've been playing my Ruby recently and I have to admit it's getting my pumped for a R/S/E remake. Now I really want one lol.

Yeah, it has been done before, except that Yellow Version is the most different from its core games, making it a far more valid option than say, remaking Crystal or Emerald (though, in a few console generations' time, I'd like to see Crystal remade also). Also, extending the gameplay to beyond Kanto would be easier in a Yellow remake as it loosely follows the anime story.

But anyway, Ruby and Sapphire should be the priority. I thought despite the graphics update, they weren't as good as Gold and Silver were, so I think another facelift would do Hoenn some good.

I wouldn't mind a R/S remake just like G/S with new stuff thrown in. I know after I beat R/B/Y I was excited about G/S but never played them. By the way you guys make me feel old after all I played R/B/Y in highschool senior year and now pushing a good 30 and can't wait to play B/W. Yes Kanto was remade a lot but honestly its just cause it was in two sets of games. I own HeartGold and am glad to have finally played through the entire game instead of half way through on my japanese emulator.

This was definitely some of the most exciting news I have read on Serebii. I really hope it's not a spin-off game ( like another Pokemon Typing, lolwut ). Although I personally think it would be better if Pokemon's debut on the 3DS was a new generation, not a remake, it seems a bit early for them to be working on two new games completely from the ground up (i.e. RSE already has an established story, pokemon, characters, ect. that simply needs to be prettied up ).

Someone replied to another post of mine a few pages back and basically said that the same team who works on the main series games doesn't need to work on the remakes. And this makes complete sense when one takes considers how close the release dates for HGSS and Pt were. So it seems to me that remakes are more likely in development now than two new main generation games.

The HGSS team was most likely split up after development of that game finished. One group would be assigned to the last push to finish off BW's development, while the rest either sat on their chairs twiddling their thumbs or were getting to grips with the 3DS SDK and starting on the massive overhaul of assets that'd be needed for a next-gen Pokémon game. And yes, going by the same timeframe as since RSE, we'll see the next version of BW in 2012, a new Pokémon game in 2014 and a remake of Ruby and Sapphire sometime during that 2 year period.
