R/S/E Sequels instead of remakes?

The idea of Hoenn sequels just doesn't appeal to me, as it doesn't feel like Hoenn needs sequels as it's story felt wrapped up. I think they should do one last remake, then do sequels for DP, and BW...well B2W2 XD as those stories felt less wrapped up (for B3W3...or hopefully 'Grey' they can have the original dragon with crazy Ghetsis trying to obtain it).

Now one should have said sequels for Kanto...other than GS that is, seeing how they have already been remade once, but are so old. We could have Team Rocket come up again, this time trying to control Mega Pokémon.

Please, no more Kanto. I've had enough Gen I pandering with X and Y. Give another region the spotlight for once.

Same here. If they ever make more sequels it should be a game where you can visit all regions.
 
Game Freak could already be working on remakes or sequels as we're "debating" right here and right now. Personally I'm hoping for remakes to continue the "tradition" of remake of old games.

I don't think one set of sequels in one generation after so many years since the previous ones (GS) sets a precedent for sequels...especially for an old region...actually remakes have more precedent than sequels do...
Also remakes are only redundant for those of us who have played the originals, remember there's a whole lot of new fans who haven't played the Hoenn or Kanto games. Actually I bet more don't know what Hoenn is than either Kanto,Johto, or Sinnoh which appeared five years or so ago in Gen IV.

That's why I think the region should be revisited, just not the story. Idk, perhaps it's just my opinion (and likely the opinion of at least a few others), but I'd be really disappointed if they ended up being remakes. I'd like to revisit the Hoenn region, but with a new adventure. There's so much potential in the Hoenn region, and I think it has the potential to be way bigger than just one story.

Doesn't have to necessarily be a sequel, but at least a new story with new playable characters and a new adventure. I think the Hoenn region deserves it.

This list is supposed to contain trademarked Mega-names since July 2012. If this is legit, Ruby and Sapphire remakes/sequels are certainly coming, period.
The hacker who posted this image of the list is legitimate, check out his Twitter images and you'll know what I mean.

[EDIT] Why the hell is Swampert not on the list? You better make one GF.

That list sounds pretty suspect to me. Heck, Jynx is suspect if only because of the (unfortunate) history behind it. (That is, a court case came about because of its black-skin appearance, despite it being based on a fashion in Japan. Which is why Jynx looks as it does now). We know about mega Lati@s too, so it not being mentioned there is just plain off.


As for trademarks - there's a lot of games on the list of being trademarks by the Pokemon company, and they won't all be used. And it's silly to expect so-and-so just from recent history. A lot of people said the references in BW meant an RSE remake last gen. So much for that! A lot of people said the third Sinnoh game had to be Opal (overwhelmingly so). When it was leaked that Pokemon Platinum would come out, a lot of people cried fake based on that title alone.
 
I would prefer this over remakes. Even though LG is my favorite game, Hoenn will forever be my favorite region. Going along with the story it only seems logical that R/S/E would have a sequel instead. I can't honestly think of anything else to do with the story, however, so it would be interesting to see this story develop even further.
 
I think I actually would prefer a sequel, now that I've thought about it more. I'm too attached to May and Brendan to want them to be replaced with other protagonists.

In my headcanon May is champion and Brendan is a researcher, though, because I prefer Brendan's in-game personality as a rival. The only problem is, what would the story be? There's nothing left to resolve.

It would be most logical to use Emerald as the 'canon' story, since it involved both teams and legends and tied off the story for everyone involved. That being said, even though Maxie and Archie reformed, that's not stopping a Neo-Magma or Neo-Aqua from entering the fray, or it wouldn't even have to involve them. There are many devious ways someone could nefariously utilize the powers of Groudon, Kyogre or Rayquaza.

Given the fact that it will most likely be 2 different versions I think the storyline will be utilized off of which version it is based on. Though I would expect some sort of addition from emerald, like they did with the second gen remakes they added a deal from crystal(though it wasn't 100% like it was in the original crystal).
 
SCREW THE TIMELINE. I WANT REMAKES!

This is one reason I want remakes instead of sequels. How are they going to tell a different story using the Hoenn Legendaries again? Mega team Aqua and Mega team Magma try to awaken Mega Kyogre and Mega Groudon, and only Mega Rayquaza can stop them? I'm sure gamefreak could come up with something better than that but I'd still much prefer remakes. Also I think enough time has passed now to warrant remaking these games.
 
Somebody should make this a poll. I'm curious as to how many people would rather see remake and how many would like to see sequels.
