Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, & Emerald Remake Speculation Thread

[blue]

I figured it may not have a link, just trying to rectify stuff as hints.

Usually he just uploads his fan mail/art to his twitter.

I remember back before B/W Masuda had a site he would upload concept art to that he linked to from his blog, but I can't for the life of me find it.
While I doubt he would upload something that could spoil the surprise, it'd still be nice to see it just in case.

EDIT: Dammit, I'm thinking of Ken Sugimori. Still waking up. D:
Same difference though.

EDIT 2: Ah, blerg. I found it but it's all from 2011 and related to the movies.
Still, it's kinda cool to look at, if you want:

I wonder if he uploads all stuff sent by fans or maybe only chosen ones?
If only chosen ones, it would be interesting because in January there were another photos uploaded related to R/S/E:

Spoiler:

God please let it be a R/S/E remake announcement. ;____;
I am so sick of playing B/W, and I definitely don't want to play it again in Grey.

That's resembling the Emerald cutscene with the conflict between Kyogre & Groudon at Sootopolis!

It needs to be R/S/E remakes, I'm getting too hyped now! I'd get Gray but I wouldn't enjoy it no where near as much ;/

Just watch Masuda go on Pokemon Smash and go.

So we have both the R/S/E cutscene and a Kyruem picture uploaded in January.


Come on Masuda! your not making this any easier.

EDIT: We now have officially only 7 Hours and 30 Minutes till the announcement

I'm SO HYPED. Today's the day we get some kind of news and I don't know what to expect anymore! I'm kind of scared to be honest. ;; There are pictures that could be leading to RS remakes, but there's also a lot of hints towards Gray.

Masuda make us expect the unexpected!

Ah, so that's how long we have left until we find out ¬¬

They really better announce a new main game this time, or it would be the most trolling thing that GF has ever made, I'm hoping for Pokemon Grey, R/S remakes can wait for more development.

But that means more waiting for my favorite generation games. ;___;

I guess if Gray is announced instead I'd be a bit disappointed since my hopes are already set too high. u_u However, I'd soon be happy that I get a very active and spammy forum :D and that in the future we'd get the remakes I've always wanted and maybe it'll be even better!

Also back in RSE the Elite Four had repeated Pokémon (like the Phoebe for example - she had two Dusclops and two Bannette) and I hope in the remakes, GameFreak gives them different Pokémon for those duplicate slots.

But uploading Kyurem's picture seems to be understandable because all of that hype about movie, while uploading R/S/E pictures seems much more intriguing...

You've got a point there.

I've thought about it, and I don't know why i'm so excited, since if there are R/S games i'm going to have to re-buy the 3DS more than likely. xD
Luckily I sold it before the price drop, so I got like $210 dollars off of somebody on Amazon.

But I do remember that Masuda said he was going to try and do something for both DS and 3DS users. He wasn't very specific though, so it could really mean anything.

I agree, but if it's fanmail then I guess it's just something random? However you did make a good point as they could be chosen for a reason. & Although Kyurem was tweeted in January, the most recent one (posted on Feb. 23) was of RSE. Hmm.

 

[Cello]

I actually wouldn't be surprised if GameFreak was working on both Gray and R/S remakes at the same time. They have a Team A (GameFreak Main Branch) and Team B (Creatures Inc.) that handle their projects.
It's mainly just a matter of which one they decided to release first.

By the way, does anybody remember what Pokemon game names Nintendo had trademarked recently other than Adventure Camp?
Maybe that could be a clue.

But because of the lack of the Ghost types in R/S/E her team would be the same, I think they can replace the other Sealeo and Glalie to other Water type Pokemon like Huntail and Gorebyss in Glacia's team.

And I'm sure Grey won't be boring, it would have more changes than the previous 3rd games did.

Yeah, unless they choose to add Unova/Sinnoh Pokémon to the teams which I doubt they would do considering it would kill the Hoenn feel... I think adding Gengar & Misdreavus would be okay.

Also, Glacia specialised in Ice types so something like Jynx & Cloyster could replace the duplicates. However they may want to re-create the teams specifically as they did in HGSS, Will got two Xatu's when he could have easily had one of the many available Psychic type Pokémon.

So I guess R/S remakes could be released on their 10th anniversary in Autumn 2012, considering B2W2 in June 2012.

I thought that because the fact that they have been revealed and given a release date so early is to possibly get it out the way because potentially they could have waited for the 2 year mark and gave it a September release, however RS was November 2002 so theres still another 5 months after the release of BW2 (sounds weird typing that) it could just happen..
