I think it's too late, they've should've done this a little while ago.

Oh well. X/Y got boring, so I'm ready for a new Pokemon game. And like others have said, this was probably being developed a little after/alongside X and Y. GF/Nintendo doesn't really announce games until they're almost finished (why would they set a release date from six months from now? :P)

Eh...I'm on the fence. I feel its an appropriate time for a new game, even if its questionable on what the content is. I don't think Gen 6 will last too much longer with how quickly they are going through the games and with the very short release of Pokemon to bide the time. Maybe we'll end Gen 6 in another year or so so I think now's a pretty appropriate time to release the games.

In terms of main title releases for their generation, and as a generation set, they were the worse of the Pokemon titles. Though that wasn't completely their fault, they had two horrible systems to promote them.

I think RS are still bottom of the barrel in sales metrics even with Gens 5 and 6 added in....Gen 6 had an explosive start though so not really fair to compare. Depending on how the game gets marketed further, it could always happen again, be the bottom of the barrel for both main and supplementary titles. All depends on how well its designed, if the game isn't great it'll have nostalgia boom and then die very quickly, or if its marketed really crappy, it'll have a slow and painful death. Great marketing and great quality...they have a lot to live up to thanks to XY, they will hopefully surpass their originals.

I don't think it's too soon, they released HG/SS a year after Platinum and that was a fantastic game. I'm sure they've been working on it for longer than we'd expect. I think they will turn out just as great as we would want them to.

It's definitely not too soon for me. Or my sister, or her boyfriend, who both play pokemon just as much as I do. We were all very ready for this, our DS's have been collecting dust because X and Y just got boring. We wore it out. I am surprised that we are learning about a new game so soon, sure. But it's a good surprise, a super awesome surprise. I am sooo ready, and it can't come soon enough!!! It will go on pre order as soon as it's possible!!

It might be a bit too late seeing the amount of speculation that rose ever since the fifth gen. I think Game Freak wasn't planning on the remakes at first, but after seeing the increasing fanbase for it, they had to do something. Many people expected it in the fifth gen, like how GS and RG got their remakes after two generations.

It may be just a bit above two years, but you have to admit games are releasing much faster now, and this would be boosted by the worldwide launches.

If I think about it, maybe they did release them a tiny bit too early. It certainly won't deter me from buying them. 8)

BUT WHO CARES REALLY, WE'RE GETTING HOENN REMAKES! :D

I think the Hoenn remakes came too late. It was supposed to be expected last gen but they decided to skip it since it acted as a filler Generation. Also now is the a more-than-perfect time since I expect news on a new game to come out now if not earlier. Also the actual games will be release worldwide like X and Y and only a 13 Months after XY's initial release last October.

What do you mean, by 'supposed to be expected'? It's true that people expected it last gen, but it doesn't make them right, after all. A fair bit of that was based on the idea of 'the last two gens we had remakes!'. But patterns are made to be broken, and two occurrences don't make a pattern tbh either.

While they are coming out in novermber... I'd say they are a tad bit early. while it has been 10 years, you got to think along the lines of the fact that people have demanded these games since 2011.. I was hoping they'd wait until a new anniversary in the pokemon franchise before releasing them. ah well~

I remember picking up my original Ruby copy when I was 6. I will always love the game, which is why I am going with OR.

I don think these games are too soon at all. It's been the right amount of time since the originals to keep with their pattern!

I think it's a tad late even xD

Goodness, it's been 11 years for goodness sakes. This is definitely due. X and Y felt like an unfinished project so I'm glad they're doing this. X and Y had really low post game content so I hope they jam pack this game ^^

Im just saying that in most people's view, they expected it during the Black and White eras, maybe I did too. And I know patterns can be broken but also take not that it was in Black and White that it all started to break so people were caught off guard.

I could foresee the need for ORAS, and the timing was just about right :)

Loving how it's coming this November and not next year, though it's going to be killing me as always waiting for such a "long" time still. People should feel me :P

You know what's good? I was one of those people who were all like GIMMIE THEM NOW. I thought they were being so stupid for waiting and leaving these remakes and pushing them back and back when you KNEW they were coming. But you know what? I'm SO glad they waited. The 3D models are so amazing and much better than the half 2D half 3D thing they did with Black and White. It was just time to move on from that and I'm glad they waited. Hoenn is going to look beautiful. Something that couldn't be done with sprites, animated or not.

I honestly don't care if they are released yearly or not... To me, it doesn't male the quality any worse, in fact, I think that the quality has been going up ever since they were being released yearly, instead of every 1 and half years, or however long it was before.

The fact that we'd have to complete the whole Pokedex ALL OVER AGAIN kinda cringes me a bit because I still haven't been able to complete the Pokedex in X. But since Pokebank *might* be compatible with the new games and such, I'd probably be lucky to fill up those difficult legendary pokemon pokedex entries.

As for the releasing a game every year, I will say these remakes have been long overdue. We've been waiting for so long for those! I think they're on the right track with releasing another set of games this year, I mean, at least it's still the 6th generation. lol

No. It's been almost 12 years since the original Ruby and Sapphire versions were released in Japan and almost 11 years elsewhere. That and in the past 16 year there have only been 3 years where we haven't gotten a new game.

It's been a 1 year gap since HGSS I think now, well, 1 year-ish. 12 years is a long time, I don't think it's too early, although I would've preferred them releasing next year. Nintendo is starting to lag though, they'll need ORAS to boost them, so I don't begrudge them of the decision.

Yeah, there's nothing that suggests these games won't be compatible with Bank. It'd be ridiculous if all of a sudden new games didn't support it lol

Actually it is an anniversary year in the Pokemon franchise. It's the 10 anniversary since the first set of remakes came out! FrLg came out in 2004 xD. So I guess Hoenn which got it's generation interrupted by remakes gets to do the same to another generation ten years later.

I think they came out at the right time in the end.

Too soon? We've waited almost (If not) 11 damn years for these!!! But who cares if it was too close to X/Y? We're finally what we've been begging for!
