5th Gen. or R/S/E Remakes?

[Sasuke.]

It's a possibility.
With the DSi missing the GBA slot it's either remake or put it on the DSi shop.

I don't think that they'll jump right to a remake. They'll do a new gen first

In 2012, gamefreak is set to release Pokemon: Apocalypse. Jk:). I really hope gen 3 doesn't get remade. The friggin sprites were better done than 4th gen imo. 5th gen or bust. And hopefully with #5, we actually see an influx of worth while pokemon. Gen 4 had it's charms, but things have definitely been declining...

Since they just had a remake, I think they'd go on to a 5th gen. And with RSE, you can still connect with the Pal Park and all. I don't think a remake would really be necessary...=x
Then there's the DSi...but I don't think they'd do two remakes in a row.

And I'll start breaking things into a long confusing stretch of words. RS remakes could happen this gen. The DSi while being basically the GBC to as it was to the GB won't last long. Maybe a year or 2. If so that would mean a new handheld would be out in 2011 2012. That right there would result automatically in Gen5 coming out in 2013 and no less. If so then in 2011 something has to come out. That something would logically be RS the only games not available on the DS. If no handheld then well there is the chance of next gen RS remakes. I mean that is of course on if a new Pokemon is shown first in the 13th movie or 14th movie. If in Movie 13 then its unlikely with a slight tint of possibility and if shown in the 14th movie well then the chances are very likely and I mean to the point were its almost inevitable. So the only way it wouldn't happen is if 2012 brings a new gen game duo and movie 13 shows a new Pokemon.

im hoping its not a remake of r/s/e because i hated those games :/ anything else would be better than that im hoping for a game on the wii with maybe shadow pokemon that would be rather cool :)

The R/S/E remakes wouldn't be that "great". GBA games didn't have terrible graphics when they made them, and all they wouldn't have to do is some better graphics and more story after the E4. It wouldn't be worth buying. :/

On the other hand, I think that 5th Gen. isn't needed also. It's too much, and 4 Gens is enough, but I'd rather have a 5th Gen. then another remake right now.

Adding on to this I would like to say its also about the Money. Movie 13 will obviously be for HGSS advertising and hopefully not full on HGSS advertising. I say this because full on HGSS advertising would more or less cause the 5th gen reveal to happen in movie 14 as say movie 13 because of the 5th gen stealing HGSS movie spotlight. I know it sounds bad but its the most likely scenario. If this does happen and come 2011 with the first 5th gen Pokemon being properly shown in a movie that would mean a definite push of the games to 2013 the earliest. with that Gamefreak would need a cashflow. This cashflow cannot be resolved alone by HGSS after 2 years of its release and with this RS remakes would be needed to bridge the 4 year gap. And no don't start telling me about spin offs or the next console game(s?) because those have no direct ties to Gamefreak and no cash flow would come in from it. So yeah basically its all down to movie 13.

I know this thread made it to two pages but honestly, the content of this thread goes in either the Gen 5 Speculation thread or even in this thread. Merging will be confusing so I'm just going to close it.
