The thing is that a Kanto of the future wouldn't impress me either, so... XD
I'm on that fence where it's like... I don't want to go back to boring old Kanto, definitely not as the first Switch game, but I don't want to see it perverted into a new Kanto either. Let's just leave poor Kanto alone and not try to force it to be as interesting as a new region would be. I don't want to go down nostalgia road and I don't want nostalgia road to be paved over into nostalgia street- it's like going back to one of your favorite childhood spots and finding out that the area got turned into an apartment building.
Which... literally happened to me, because they went and turned the woods I used to play in as a child into several apartment complexes. It's painful to look at.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot~
I mean, we can kinda expect that they will have to change things up in the next remakes anyway- that's a given, there has to be something new. But to push Kanto to a point where it would be on par to a new region in experience would require some really drastic changes that would just hurt Kanto and all nostalgia pertaining to it. It's dangerous and not very welcome territory.
Then the next game, presuming it's a remake/reboot of Kanto, probably isn't going to be for you.
I personally don't think that they'll reboot Kanto. If they did, though, I'd find it fascinating and lovely. It'd be amazing to see the same world that I saw as an eight year old kid on a tiny, crappy screen, revitalized, revived, put onto a TV, and made into what it could be today.
I'd be just as happy to see a new region, though.
Honestly, I'd just be happy for them to import GBA Emerald to the Switch and make it compatible with Pokebank, but that ain't gonna happen.
