4th Gen A G/S Remake?

[RedJ]

Oh well, you were more descriptive.

I somehow doubt we'll see much Sinnoh Pokémon at all. After all, look at FireRed and LeafGreen; the only Pokémon from Hoenn without trading are the ones that bred to make third-generation Pokémon, such as Wynaut. Likewise, we'll probably see only Sinnoh Pokémon like Munchlax.

But you know what else? We'll probably be given a place to catch Hoenn Pokémon. The Sevii Islands served that purpose too, after all.

To add on to that, that's why we have D/P/Pt. I'm sure that once you get the National Dex(which I'm expecting to be around the time you beat Johto's Elite Four. Possibly.) you will be able to trade with D/P/Pt. For the others, I think there will be a new area. My hopes are now geared on seeing Hoenn added into the game :D(which would be one step closer to that game we all want where you can go to every region. Save for Sinnoh, which again, we have D/P/Pt for).

You think you could add a HG and SS forum?

 

[World King]

Well, I think 3 regions in one game would be a bit too much, and would take the old GS feeling. They should just stick with Kanto and Johto pokés, and only add a handful of Hoenn Pokémon on the Great Marsh, like how they added some from Johto to Emerald's Safari Zone.

But the one thing I really hope still remains in HGSS is the final battle against Red; and one thing the should add is that after certain number of battles against him, his party's levels should increase until after a lot of battles more, they should be 100. Now THAT would be epic... =D ​

 

[RedJ]

I mainly say this because I know that they have plenty of memory to make add Hoenn. Yeah, it MIGHT take away from it...it depends on how they do it.

I do agree about the Red thing though. And they should do something similar with the rival, seeing as how you could only fight him at one place on certain days...by that point in the game, you could easily annihilate him in under a minute.

 

[dotKarma]

With that being said I doubt they'll change the Gym Leaders Roster. I really hope they don't for Nostalgia reasons.

Same here. I loved the original Gym Leader's Rosters and even if they changed the levels a bit I would be fine. I just hope that they don't add any new pokemon. I would prefer for these games to be with the Johto Dex and a National Dex later, yet nothing other than the (pointless) new evolutions of things (that's right Electivire, Magmortar, and Magnezone, I'm talking to you) available even after the national dex.

 

[fireyboy345]

One up about the gym leaders is that nintendo wont have to make a jasmine overworld sprite seeing as how she is in d/p/pt

 

[GunSaberSeraph]

Also, I hope they use Red's Gen1 design instead of his in Gen 3. The FRLG boy looks nothing like the Red we all know.

Agreed. I have always thought of Red as he was in Gen 1 & 2

 

[Penumbra]

With the DS-generation battle system, we see the time change to a few minutes. :[

So let's hope they use Platinum's speed optimisations this time.

Yes. we must commence our petitions and prayers
dedicated to using the Platinum speed now. I have
a cozy feeling inside my tummy that Nintendo will just
say "we're going back 2 generations, so let's slow down
the pace and use the outdated battle system as opposed
to the renewed and improved one that's sitting right in
front of us! Yay!".[/sarcasm]

Honestly now, do we really need to hope that they use
Platinum's speed? It's a given that they'll probably
use the better battle system for newer games.

Okay, we basically have the game speculations down..
The things I'm realllyyy wondering about are..

Spoiler:

- When did they start? How long was this game in
the shadows for, anyway? The anticipated release
is September in Japan, which could probably
mean a reallyyy late 2009 rel, or an early 2010
for the rest of the world...
(oh how the years fly by... really.)

- Wi-Fi... Can they really top Platinum?
Not that the Wi-Fi plaza was all the rave,
but still. It was pretty advanced for a
Pokemon game. You could actually meet
random people without the tedious use
of friend codes!! All we need are
Random Wi-Fi battles like in PBR and
my life would be complete..

- Kanto. I would love to see the Gen 4 Kanto,
3D Graphics and what not.

- Sinnoh references.. Will Johto have a clear place
in the pokemon time line? Will it link to sinnoh's
history? Will we get a cameo of Prof. Rowan!?
Will there be some references to past teams
other than rocket, like Magma, Aqua, Galactic?
Will we finally find out where Cyrus is hiding?

- The small details. Trainer animations
and the opening Gym/E.Four intro.

- Now that you look back on it, Johto can only
be Johto if there's Gen 1-2 pokemon. It'll
feel weird seeing a wild Loudred or battling
Lance who has a Garchomp.. Johto and
Sinnoh are two different worlds, imo.

- The music. Let's hope it stays the same.
After all, 1/3 of johto is it's wonderful
music.

- Evolutions of Johto pokemon. Honchkrow? Mismagius?
Ambipom? Tangrowth? Lickilicky? Magnezone? Will it say
"Stopped evolving for a mysterious reason!" like in
FR/LG when you tried to evolve Golbat?

- Daylight Savings Time? Money to your mother (she made
me so damn rich?

- HM WHIRLPOOL@!!?!?#PEPDQUAXTTTTW

- GSC was the most extreme pokemon
game. Cutting off slowpoke tails, eating them,
forcing Magikarp to evolve, a theif rival,
team rocket stealing that berserk machine thing.

- Team Rocket connections? Will it make references to
the Rocket Base located in the Orre Region as found in
FR/LG?

- More back story on Ho-Oh Lugia?

- Other stuff like PokeGear touch screen function,
berry system, set Shiny Pokemon? Dizzy Punch
egg baby?

Also, I hope they use Red's Gen1 design instead of his in Gen 3. The FRLG boy looks nothing like the Red we all know.

I doubt it, seeing as Gamefreak probably wants it to be consistent.

 

[Ultima0071]

Ah I cannot wait for these games! I hope they keep the graphic-style that we all loved in Gold/Silver. I'm fine with the new graphical format, but if they could at least keep the same graphics in higher detail, I would love it.

 

[Ripper]

I wonder what purpose that White Rock will hold...

 

[CollinP]

Perry! are you gonna keep reviving this topic until the remake is released? hehe

I agree with ~KiTsUnE.
They don't need to have a reason to do it.. It's nintendo :P
Do they have a reason to make two version of the same game? (Diamond/Pearl) NO
Do we need a third game that has useless extras? NO

Yet, nintendo does it :D
REMAKE=More $$ :P:P

haha i love how you put that!
but ya, srsly, why put anouther game in, let alone 3 games every region?
but ya, the remake (HG And SS) Are Gonna Kick Major Hind-Cheeks
I Think They Will Be GREAT!
PS, imagine they don't add KANTO to the game? i would be done with pokemon FOREVER- that would be a huge blow to the face to all the fans around back then (i think i was a die hard 5 year old pokemon fan)

 

[Retro Bug]

I wonder if they'll bring back the old(er) Pokéballs (?) like the Love/Friend/Moon/Lure Balls.

And what about people like Firebreathers? Will they get new sprites (?), I sure hope so.

 

[Stash23]

I would definitely would trust in Nintendo in making the Celebi event possible in this remake.

 

[bobandbill]

Methinks we might see them come back, but I wonder if data (or a lack of) for them in D/P/Pt would be a problem? Hmm... I do know that *apparently* there is data for RageCandyBars to be an actual item in Platinum int he coding somewhere... either way, if they stay, than Kurt stays and Apricorns stay most likely as well.

And the old traienrs from GSC should get sprite makeovers, methinks. Should be interesting for some...

Ohh, I wonder if they'll keep the Bug Catching competition as the only one going, or whether the Safari zone will work this time around... (there were maps for it in GSC and all, but they removed the door for it and all - I believe it was because of the glitch city glitch, maybe? Leastways that apparently may have been partly why).

*recalls searching National Park most carefully for the Warden*

 

[white lancer]

They'd better keep the Apricorns...those were one of my favorite parts of G/S/C. The new balls in Hoenn just aren't the same since they can just be bought; I never really got used to them. I'm hoping to see a way to get Celebi (though if it happens it will probably be through a Nintendo event :-/), and I'd love to see a more fleshed-out Kanto including the Safari Zone. I'm worried they'll think the fans want pretty much exactly what was in G/S, but it seems pretty clear to me that most of us would prefer that Kanto not be a shadow of its former self. I'd like to see the Sevii Islands included, as well, and maybe one other area (Orange Islands?), but I don't think they could have a whole other region like Hoenn...the way it is now, your Pokémon would be up to insane levels by the time you completed the third region and Red wouldn't be a problem unless his Pokémon were all level 100.

 

[Harmonie]

You had that chance already. It was called FireRed and LeafGreen.

Ok?

But Kanto is a part of G/S/C and it should definitely be a part of the remake.

 

[Bigdog]

With the DS-generation battle system, we see the time change to a few minutes. :[

So let's hope they use Platinum's speed optimisations this time.

Just as FR/LG's engine was used for Emerald, so HG/SS will use Platinum's , fortunately.
It's great that Gamefreak waited to develop the remakes after developing Platinum because it would've been alot slower.

 

[Mitchman]

You had that chance already. It was called FireRed and LeafGreen.

May I ask why everyone wants to jump to conclusions and say its out? Seriously. The site even states the remakes will be a follow-up to the remakes 5 years ago. That could mean anything but still. Kanto had as much importance as it could have and not to mention there is that supposed White rock that we know nothing about there. And what everyone wants it out cause they will stick to the old way they shrunk it and thats it? No. I can see them very easily updating the size cause they know we know its possible. Jeez am I the only one who can trust them to do the right thing when its very possible and also logical to assume so?
