One question I have is, why remakes and not a sequel? I personally think sequels makes more sense. The sequel doesn't even have to tie directly into the original. It could just be another story set in the same place just a few years later.
I think when people speak of USUM as a remake they really mean rehash based on what they assume from the description and trailer. We really don't know for sure how different they will be from SM. I assume the games will be either more akin to third versions or sequels than true GF remakes.I don't think Ultra Sun/Moon can really be considered a remake. A remake has so far been "new console, new graphics, updated to include new Pokemon from other gens", and so on-and is never part of the gen it was remade for. It's got a different story and different Pokemon, but no other major changes we've heard of yet-certainly nothing as drastic as a graphics overhaul. That's much more similar to a third version (Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald had new stories but the same graphics, mechanics, and Pokemon) than a remake.

Because patterns.
GF could had made sequels for GSC when they decided that FRLG was a thing, but they went for the remake route, the one time they went for sequels was to their then-current games, not not an older game due to be remade, and therefore, people are likely to expect sequels for more recent titles instead of their older content, A potential gen 4 (or 1/2) sequel would of course throw fans a curveball but the question becomes if GF are willing to do it.
There's no incentive for them to make a sequel when a simple remake will sell, I would think.However, when it comes to Gen 1/2 (Kanto/Johto) I believe sequels are completely possible
I haven't played ORAS but I read that it retconned some stuff such that it became sort of like a prequel to XY. Could someone please explain what exactly happened without spoiling anything? I just got myself ORA recently and I'm going to play it soon when I finally finish M.
I'm asking because I'm wondering if something similar could happen to a DP remake.
There isn't much that could be said without spoiling both, but I will say that a certain charatcer visited Hoenn once, a certain pokemon mega evolved before Lucario and that Devon Corporation is using the energy that also fuels Mega Evolution.
So Sinnoh remakes for the 25th Anniversary? Don't see that happening.I do doubt that we will get DP sequels, and rather we will probably get DP remakes as we did with previous generations. However, when it comes to Gen 1/2 (Kanto/Johto) I believe sequels are completely possible, considering that both of these sets of games have been/will be released on the Virtual Console, making them current again. Gen 1 VC 2016, Gen 2 VC 2017, and potentially Kanto/Johto combined sequel in 2018?
Personally, I expect this:
2018 - Kanto/Johto sequel (Switch)
2019 - break year
2020 - Gen 8
2021 - DP remakes
Me neither, they wouldn't wait that long for DP remake, just because they wanted Kanto/Johto Sequels over Sinnoh Remake. We'll likely to see DP remake before Gen VIII happening. Plus in Gen VIII they might be either Black/White Remake or another Black/White Sequel in Gen VIII and they don't open two remake in the same generation.So Sinnoh remakes for the 25th Anniversary? Don't see that happening.
I bet they'll call it Ultra Diamond/Ultra Pearl
