I know this sounded way too early and silly at the moment but after the remakes of Generation IV have revealed, people may discuss about the Gen V remakes.

That, and if Gen IX is going to be on the Switch or not. If it ends up being for Switch, then I guess the remakes will be for Gen X.We don't have a reveal for Gen 4 remakes? What remakes appear in Gen 8 are going to influence what expectations people have for Gen 9.
1. After USUM's reaction from the fandom, I think third versions are dead.Pokemon Grey anyone? hope only the starters get some love in it.
Would be cool really.

I think the Pokédex part can be implemented, but I don't know how they could do the rest. One way they could do it would be to put the B2W2 side as an expansion with its own save slot, so that the Memory Link events can be activated with only one device.Include BW2 content or no sale. The original BW was painfully lacking, BW2 is what made that generation. The remake will feel so much worse without BW2's expansions. I don't care how they do it, if they tack them onto the end/post game, if they revamp the entire thing. Just don't make the game another boring plod through a painfully linear region with only the 156 Unova Pokemon. You couldn't pay me to go through that nonsense again.

Come to think of it, I would like Memory Link to come back in some way, shape or form. Just implement it in a way that doesn't require multiple consoles or connection to the Internet in case they take down the servers like the always do.
Another alternative could be a midquel, but I don't know how people would feel about it...The storyline might be a bit tricky, but the areas can always be included. The best way might just be with a post game story arc. BW2's actual story isn't all that deep anyway, so it could easily be tacked on.
This is mostly because I'm exhausted of people constantly wanting remakes of x region for nostalgia regions. Sinnoh is semi-difficult to justify just because it's still playable on modern DSes, but it's possible we may get those remakes just so the region can be rebooted with new life because it is rather dated. For Unova though, it's much, much harder to justify remaking that considering that I'm not sure how you can improve upon something like B2W2 except with Gen 8-ish mechanics and graphics, if anything.
And then there's the bigger problem for those folk who felt like Kalos got left in the dust and would either want a remake or some sort of sequel to that as well.
Really, I just want original content even if we're going back to old regions. Put a new spin on it, make it so the visit to the old region occurs years later with some fresh faces and some new evil teams or something, I don't know. What I do know is that the yearn for constant remakes is starting to get old, imo.
That's because it's more recent, there hasn't been as many improvements from 5th -> 7th as there's been from 4th -> 7th. You could've said the same thing about 4th gen around 5th or 6th gen. Give it time, when we reach 8th or 9th gen and they make more improvements to the series we may have a better idea of how to improve the experience.
This is a legitimate problem. We have new generations, updated versions, remakes, and now Let's Go games, while they're only releasing 2 or 3 games per generation. The field is getting a bit crowded. I think what they need to do is spread out the new generation games to 4-5 year schedules and then they'll have room for more games in between. They'll probably want to spend more time anyway since they're transitioning to consoles and console games tend to take longer to develop, they may as well take advantage of that to fit more content in between. Although I was thinking more like this:
New Gen
DLC of New Gen (taking the place of third versions)
Remake
DLC of Remake
New Gen
Totally agreed. I'm sick of the remakes being copy/paste jobs with minimal changes, I want to see them overhaul the design and add extra features to make them feel more modern. I mean, look at Kanto, it's gotten 5 entries but remains relatively unchanged throughout, the same region design and maps down to a tile by tile comparison, the same Pokemon that have been shoved down our throats for 20 years, the same barren storyline, no real new features. There is so much room for modernization that it's not even funny yet they're content with just making everything 99% the same. Adding in new areas, redesigning older ones, adding in new Pokemon that weren't there in the originals, changing up or adding to the storyline, adding in new features, those kinds of things could really make the experience feel fresh.
