I believe the new Hoenn games will actually be sequels in the vein of Black 2 and White 2, rather than "remakes" in the traditional sense. Here's my reasoning.
1) Pokemon hackers have found two unreleased Moves in Pokemon X and Y data files. One is called Thousand Arrows, the other Thousand Waves. Both are 90 BP 100% Accuracy Physical Ground Moves with 10 PP.
2) These stats are identical to Zygarde's Signiture Move, Land's Wrath. This suggests they are forms of Land's Wrath.
3) Thousand Arrows :: A (Greek letter Alpha). Thousand Waves :: ω (Greek letter Omega).
4) I propose that, just like Black-Kyurem and White-Kyurem in Black and White 2, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will introduce Omega-Zygarde and Alpha-Zygarde. When in his respective forms, Land's Wrath will change into the appropriate "Thousand" Move.
Now obviously, in Hoenn as we know it thus far, there is no method or mechanism to transform Zygarde into alternate forms, since he didn't exist back then. This suggests that ORAS takes place at the same time as X and Y, which we know takes place chronologically after previous installments of the main series Pokemon games.
Thus, ORAS will be B2W2-style "sequels" taking place after the events of the original games, not simple remakes.
If true, this would also solve the admittedly-academic but still bothersome problem of uploading Pokemon from an actual Gen III Hoenn-region game to ORAS via the Poke Transporter; it'd be kind of weird to see "seems to have travelled across both space and time in order to reach the Hoenn region from the Hoenn region" in ORAS -- unless ORAS is a sequel and takes place after the events of the original games ^_^
