Yeah but nobody predicted HGSS to be revealed at that specific time, I'm sure it had been on peoples minds but nobody knew when.

This news about Masuda considering is something, a step forward really because this is actual news that we can put towards a potential RS remake instead of hints, I'm sure we'll hear more by December.

Maybe we will hear news in Corocoro in any time right now, it's possible since they are going to make the 3rd game and the R/S remakes in 2012.

Well Corocoro is coming up any day now, we may have some RS Remake related news.. lets hope so anyway. The fact Masuda said "Considering" could be an easy cover, for example they could have been working on RS remakes for months now but are just saying that for when they actually do announce an RS remake, it will be unexpected.. like I said I'm sure we'll hear more pretty soon!

Honestly, I've been hyped for a RS remake for over 2 years now and every "New Informtation" I jump to the conclusion that it's an RS remake but we just can't say anything right now... have they even started to develop them, are they in the middle of it etc.
Winter 2012 would be a reasonable date for it's release.. priror to that would come the revelation in mid 2012, that's all just speculation though.

I think they are actually at the end of development, I think they started making it before 3 years, like HG/SS they started making it since D/P came out.
They already knew that many old fans would buy it, I'm guessing it would make more money than HG/SS.

That was my initial thought, but then I wasn't sure because of BW the fact that they would have to develop 2 whole games would be difficult unless they can prioritize or whatever, I'm not completely sure but I do have a feeling it's being developed and has been for some time.


I definately think it would make more than HGSS for some reason.. I think fans are more excited and anticipated for RS remakes than they were for HGSS.. I know for sure I am!

They've definitely been juggling production of at least two projects at once for a while.

The ground work on BW began after Diamond and Pearl was finished.

The initial designing phases of Black and White would have taken some time to get to a point where the team can actually begin drawing graphics, programming the engine and creating maps, which gives them plenty of time to work on Platinum as well as getting started with designing HG/SS. Making Platinum wouldn't have taken them two whole years so it's likely they were focusing most on Platinum and then HGSS during that time. Once Platinum is out, work is on finishing off HG/SS for next year while simultaneously getting stuck into developing BW - it's likely the HG/SS engine is based upon things they were developing for BW.

Right now it's very likely they've been working with new hardware and designing the RS remake and the third Unova game at the same time. One of the two will be in the middle of actively being developed as we speak.

That's true, I think if any it's going to be the RS remakes and they will be mainly concentraded on that currently as the third game will share the same designs, maps, sprites etc. as BW so that's basically complete it just needs some enhancements thus why they take nowhere near as long to develop as remakes do, that's why they will probally be working on a remake right now. The Third Game will be kinda rushed and the remake will take time.

I think that an emerald remake could make more sense then two games. Emerald has a totally different story line than rs and I don't see how they could fuse that into two very different games. I would like to see you be able to go go Kanto of johto in the remake or do a sevvii island type thing. I previously suggested the orange islands they would never do that. Definetly add Red and/ or Gold into the game as a final showdown type thing. Maybe Blue and Silver to.

They may not be as 'rushed' as you think then. I'm sure they had plenty of things they wanted to add already, but couldn't because of deadlines, etc. A third version of BW may add more than the previous 'small upgrades' to versions.

It might not be as difficult as you might think. I remember seeing someone suggesting that they could have both teams involved(a la Emerald) but have one play a bigger role than the other. I mean RS storylines may be implemented(as in one team as the 'evil'), but the main thing with Emerald was how it merged them into one. It'll be interesting to see how they work that out.
Don't you think Hoenn deserves to be at least this beautiful?

-When Groudon and Kyogre fights, in the ruby remake Groudon defeats Kyogre and
you must capture it to save hoenn region from the drought, in the sapphire remake
Kyogre defeats Groudon then you must capture it to save the hoenn region from
the flood.

-The elite four's Pokemon keeps the same as Emerald, the champion is steven, in the rematches you will fight wallace, you can battle steven in the Meteor falls.

-You can challenge both Maxie and Archie like Emerald.

-They really should add one more battle with May, all of her Pokemons are fully evolved.

- In the remake of ruby Wallace will be the last gym leader, Juan in the remake of sapphire, like B/W.

Emerald and FR/LG all had the same 'engine' or something like that, which would indicate that they started working on FR/LG after Emerald was complete (or halfway...) If we follow assume that they are doing something similar with this, then the RSE remakes should be released approximately a year after the 'third game', which should be released (following the pattern on DPPt) in late 2012.

tl;dr they will be released in Japan early 2013

I'd assume they have already began work on RS remakes for some time now I'm sure its been a big priority for them for a long time now and they want to get that complete more than they do a third game, if anything it's possible that the third game may come AFTER RS remakes, but the pattern is corrupt right now with nothing to base it off so nobody knows... yet.

Yeah, I know it's only a matter of months where as remakes take more than a year, so if they are planning on releasing RS sometime within next year then they started ages ago.

I've been inactive in this thread for quite sometime, but I've been keeping an eye on things. And I must say, FALKNER YES! Even though he says he's "considering" it, something tells me that they've been thinking about it for awhile, and they're mentioning it now just to spark some interest. Still, I've been waiting for word of the remakes for about 3 years now.

I think it's being developed (and has been) for some time now, it's just a matter of when they choose to announce it and considerably December 2011 will be a reasonable date because that would bring the release date to some time during mid 2012 (RS 10th Anniversary) either that or announcement will take place early 2012. They have events in December where either a Third Game or a RS remake is likely to be announced, its just which one will be.. I know what Im hoping for but if not then my guess is they will announce it mid 2012 and release around November 2012 the actual anniversary, just wish we had more confirmation or that they would hurry.

I've been thinking that also, they probably will announce it sometime next year so the U.S. can get it spring 2013. I'm still waiting on a few spinoff games to be announced. (hopefully). But hearing that quote last night made me one of the happiest people on earth lol.

Serebii and Bulbapedia changed the wording on the translations they provided. Both no longer say Masuda is "Considering" the remakes. They now say all he did was politely respond to the posts made and thanked the fan for his support.

From Serebii:
Some news spreading round is regarding some comments on Junichi Masuda's Twitter Account. When asked about making remakes of the GBA games Ruby & Sapphire, he responded by saying that the original games were important to him and thanked the user for his input, not that he'll "consider" it as spreading around the internet. While this isn't an indicator of Ruby & Sapphire remakes actually coming out, anything is possible. We'll bring more news about upcoming games as and when they come so keep checking back
