As if on cue, with the announcement of RS remakes, jokes about Gen IV remakes and Sinnoh Confirmed are already beginning to be thrown around. We've now come to a weird place though where the most outdated games are actually remakes. FRLG are older games now than Emerald, which is very likely going to be absorbed into these remakes the same way HGSS drew heavily from Crystal.
Will we see remakes of remakes begin being made at some point down the line? We haven't had a chance to journey through a proper Kanto since 2004, even though HGSS's iteration of Kanto was far better than it had been in the original GS. Before we get to go back to Sinnoh, if that time ever comes, could we first end up going back to Kanto... again? The main Gen III games getting remade will make Gen I the sole generation now that cannot be played on a 3DS. IV, II, and V are all on the DS, and with ORAS V and III will be on the 3DS. Gen I though, is stuck on a GBA game.
Back when people started discussing Hoenn remakes during the announcement of HGSS, my biggest criticism to that idea was the fact that with remakes of Gen III's main games we would have to also need remakes of FRLG just to keep everything up to date and at the same level. We were given Gen I starters in XY, so I don't particularly think we'll see FRLG remakes within Gen VI, but I guess unlike most people, I think we'll be seeing those games remade before we see updated DPPt.
At least at the start, I don't mean this to be a thread about changes we'd like to see made to the Kanto games, but the plausibility of remake remakes as a whole. From what I remember, a number of people suspected that by this time we'd get massive, multi-region games to make up for the fact GF couldn't push out new titles and multiple remakes each generation. It seems pretty clearl that isn't what's happening here, so I'm interested to see other peoples' opinions on whether the next games slated for remakes are DPPt or FRLG.
