I think it's funny that people use "You wanted it, and now that you have it you complain. Where's the gratitude?"
Really, that does NOT work as an argument. We all knew the moment FireRed/LeafGreen was announced that it was only a matter of time before G/S also received remakes. Hell, I'm sure there were a few people smart enough to predict FR/LG once it was obvious you couldn't trade between second and third gen.
Nintendo isn't doing this for us, they're doing it for them. They're making money off this, so of course they're going to do it. You know what? By the time fifth generation is announced, and the inevitable "Oops.... We couldn't *figure out* how to connect with fourth gen. Sorry." They're going to remake Ruby/Sapphire. They're doing this on purpose, solely so they can make remakes and con us out of our money.
This isn't even a big deal to me, but knowing that they're going to do it anyways they should at least have the courtesy to keep things nostalgic... Keep in Kris, keep the story, and for God's-sake, keep out the third and fourth gen hack attempts at clothing and Pokemon design. They know we're going to but it, so they should use their big corporate intelligence to realize they're only losing sales by changing what it meant to play Gold/Silver way back then.
