Oh, somewhere where I can share my RSEmakes ideas. I can't on Bulbagarden as I'm banned, nor can I on Serebiiforums as they don't like speculation there.
Well, as some people, I think that a sequel would be better (contemporary with DPPtHGSS or BW). I don't really want an exact remake of RSE. The Hoenn region isn't a nostalgic thing to me. But I'd love to return to Hoenn. I'd be really angry if Unova is the only main game region for this Generation.
So... My ideas, mostly strange and not happening.
-Sequel means new main characters. But old characters must be doing something too. I can see May being Birch's assistant. As of Brendan, he was talking something about opening a Gym in Emerald (if not chosen as a player). Maybe he'd do it (the Gym would be unofficial, and probably post-E4). Would be awesome if they remembered it.
-I'd like these games to have a new rival. RSE didn't have a real rival. Both Brendan/May and Wally were in fact pseudo-rivals. There must be a Hoenn rival.
-As for Wally, I can see him taking Norman's position of the Petalburg City Gym Leader. As for Norman, I think he could be promoted to be the Hoenn Champion! That's because I have the PokeSpe image of him stuck in my head. Norman was as strong as Steven in PokeSpe. I know that manga =/= games but I can really see Norman as the Champion.
-Steven could success his father in being the president of Devon Corporation. He could still be battle-able post-game (with power-upped team with Pokemon from other generations) and he'd play some important part in the story.
-PokeNavi should have a videophone, with a faceshot for every registered character (of course, phone calls should still be there. Don't want the boring Vs Seeker). Really, who wouldn't want normal Trainer faceshots? Trainer's Eyes would still be there. Also, more plot-related phone numbers! And this should not be Pokenavi's only enhancement. I can see this tool being OVERHAULED (though, not turned into a Poketch. Too many people wanted HGSS's Pokegear to be turned into Poketch. Luckily it didn't happen).
-Some people seem to think that Wattson should retire. I personally don't mind Wattson. But I got a crazy idea that Rydel (the bicycle guy) could replace him in the Gym. The Gym would still be at least partially Electric, but also more Speed-oriented (y'know, bicycles, speed).
-Give Winstrates more role, especially Vito. I'd really love to see more of this battling family. They could make their challenge more Gym-like or something.
-Bring polishable Badges back. Who wouldn't want them back?
-We need visible day/night cycle, there's no denying it. I can see seasons being sacrificed by the so-called "remake retardation" (this is, remakes ALWAYS lose some of generational innovations). But I would like seasons to be there too.
-Fix some BW's backsteps. I want walking Pokemon back. And Emerald's Double Battle system.
-As for Magma/Aqua story... This is a hard one. I think a good idea would be to have Neo-Aqua and Neo-Magma, being run by the Admins (remember how useless and unmemorable Team Magma/Aqua Admins were? I think it's time to give them more personality, stronger Pokemon and ARTWORKS). They would be looking for their Leaders, who somehow disappeared in the time interval. The Leaders would appear in the story climax.
-It would still be one Team for a game. But in a more interesting way than in original RS. The locations of the hideouts should vary between versions (doesn't make much sense for Magma to have a hideout on sea near Lilycove or for Aqua to have one in the volcano). It kind of sucked that the only difference between Magma in Ruby and Aqua in Sapphire were character sprites, their Pokemon and their objective, everything else was the same.
-Tate and Liza could become the new guardians of Mt. Pyre (I've never liked them and seen them as a Double Battle gimmick). They would be succeeded in the Gym by a female Dark-type Leader (yeah! Just like in those crazy Hoenn-in-HGSS rumors! Do you remember "Dark-type Gym Leader Lunah and Gardening Maniac Sakura"?). That means Sidney retires, but she could be somehow related to him.
-Juan is the Leader of Sootopolis Gym, Wallace got relegated to the Elite Four. The other three members don't change.
-I'm not a fan of Battle Frontiers but I admit that Hoenn one is so superior to Sinnoh one. It should be there, pretty much intact.
-Redo Rayquaza's story. Jade Orb must be there!
-And Regi quest too! Regigigas must play some role!
-I'm not sure what should be done to Contest Halls/Battle Tents. I think that one Contest Hall in Lilycove is enough. But Battle Tents were unneeded to, they were basically shrunken Battle Frontier. Maybe change them into something where you can gain EXP? Some place where you can always train your Pokemon is a nice thing.
-Now probably the most important idea - make this not just a Hoenn remake! Bring Sevii Islands too! This way, we won't need any FRLG remake. It would be very nice to see how the Sevii Islands changed and how are old characters doing - especially Lorelei (she should be battleable and have some backstory on how she retired from Kanto E4). Sevii is just a perfect post-E4 part! And you can catch old Pokemon there! With Sevii, those Gen. IV remakes can be perfect.
-If not Sevii, then at least give some functionality to the islands surrounding Hoenn. They're pretty big, would make good locations.
-What about event islands (Deoxys, Lugia/Ho-oh, Mew)? Should they be back?
-Some inter-region cameos. But we don't need Cynthia in each game. Oak, however, would be nice (being a classic). Bill could appear in Sevii Islands (being Celio's good friend) too.
-Keep Hoenn-specific items (Two Bikes, Devon Scope [and other Devon products], Pokeblocks, Volcanic Ash, Go-Googles, Orbs, Aqua/Magma Emblem should be version-specific).
-Wouldn't mind many surprises.
I'll add more when I think more up.
