Sentimental value is still a factor. Getting a Cyndaquil for beating the Hoenn league isn't the same as traveling through the Johto region with one.
There's nothing that's indicated that. We've only gotten VC for RBY and GSC, both of which have already had remakes. It's not necessarily an either/or situation. Besides, remakes use the same region, same characters, and often the same plot as their original-why don't you consider that lazy?
Because remakes aren’t JUST made to revisit the region, they always expand on it and add cool features, people give remakes a lot of slack yet they’re some of the best selling games by far.
FireRed/LeadGreen added the Sevii Islands and League rematches, as well as breeding, a cave for Lapras, one of the legendary beasts, and the secret Navel Rock and Birth Island events.
HGSS added walking Pokémon, good use of the bottom screen, a really vibrant and colorful overworld, the secret Celebi and spiky-eared Pichu events. Different uses for the radio, the SinJoh Ruins event, rival, gym, and league rematches, and the Battle Frontier, as well as Kanto and Hoenn starters being available.
ORAS added the Delta Episode, online secret base sharing, more legendaries, the DexNav, the Battle Resort, Deoxys, and just a 3D, vibrant and exciting version of Hoenn.
People also use VC releases as excuses NOT to make remakes, you can see it all over these forums. People say “well we just visited Kanto on VC so they shouldn’t remake Kanto”. And that is, like I said, supporting laziness.
Kanto deserves a remake just as much as Sinnoh does, because the last time we played as Red was in GBA graphics. Hoenn, the same generation as FRLG, got remade for the 3DS and it was by far one of the best selling games on the 3DS and honestly rivaled some initial pairings in sales numbers.
For a Kanto remake they could add:
-Expanded Sevii Islands post-game with more features and functions to them.
-Similar Mega Evolution plot like in Origins.
-Mewtwo post-game episode
-Mew cameo
-Battle Frontier/facilities
-a Johto visit post-game that serves as a prequel to the Johto story of Gen 2, maybe showing the region still in development.
-Gym Leader rematches
-More side quests like USUM did
-More legendary involvement, maybe an episode dealing with Lugia being the trio leader for the birds, something like the Power of One movie.
