I think all of the hoenn ledgendaries in HG/SS is hinting towards a Hoenn remake. I mean look at this pattern.
FR/LG Johto ledgendaries
1 gen later Johto remake
HG/SS Hoenn ledgendaries
1 gen later Hoenn remake?
I'm sorry if someone hoenn posted about this.
And they did make a few hoenn characters appear in hg/ss
Like steven

Is what you people do. For all we know GSC was only remade a generation later due to being a direct sequel.
 
Might be nothing, might be something; A hidden track HGSS's soundtrack is apparently a test track for the title screen that is pretty much RSE's Title Theme. As well as the appearance of the Hoenn Legendaries, Steven, and other tidbits (can't remember), I think it's safe to say that Gen V will either see remakes or a new visit to Hoenn (I'm hoping for the latter).
 
Actually, I think the presence of Gen 3 legendaries in HG/SS is hinting at us not getting RSEmakes.

When Lugia and Ho-oh were in FR/LG, they were available as event pokemon and the only other way to get them was through the GameCube games. They, along with the legendary beasts and Johto starters, were pretty difficult to come by unless you owned the GameCube games, since there was no transferring from GSC. With HG/SS, the Gen 3 legendaries, which are already readily available via pal park, are also in the DS games themselves (although, admittedly the Regis are only available through an event). To me, this is Nintedo's way of saying "OK guys, you can get them in these games, so don't come whining to us when there's no remakes.

Did it occur to you that since there was so much whining over the event legendaries (as well as the fact you could jsut pal park the weather trio) that GF decided it was better to just mkae them an in game event?
 
Exactly. The main reason fans kept demanding GS remakes was because Lugia and Ho-oh were so hard to get. Making Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza in-game legendaries is their way of keeping fans from demanding RS remakes, thus allowing GameFreak to avoid making games that likely won't sell well, or at least not as well as the previous two sets of remakes.
 
Well, I think there's more to it than that, but yes, making unique Legendary Pokemon easier to come by is a considerably big reason in having the remakes done.

That's enough to give this thread a run for its money though. Honestly, clues towards RSE remakes? It might be best to get a clue before one goes looking for them.
 
Outrage, I think I love you. I may have to steal the idea to use that comic for my sig, even if it doesn't show up in this forum - there's so many epileptic tree theories based on "omg it happened twice, IT'S A PATTERN!!!" here it makes my head spin.

I haven't really seen any thing that could be a clue as to a Hoenn remake OR sequel OR anything set there.

Aha. I love XKCD. And I am damn sick of people saying "THIS HAPPENED WITH FRLG (or any other game) SO IT WILL SO HAPPEN WITH [GAME HERE] DOFJH"
 
I just want to say to everyone. RS remakes would sell. Even if the originals were hated, the remakes would still sell. This is pokemon.

Oh, of course they would, I don't think anyone's arguing against that. But the big question is: would they yield more money than an entirely new game set in Hoenn or anywhere else that would take roughly the same amount of work? I'm guessing no.

Hey, I loved Emerald. And Hoenn is awesome.

Dorian, this was the quote I was referring too.
 
I'm not saying they won't sell, I'm saying they won't sell well. In order for it to be profitable to make them, they will have to be able to sell, as Dorian put it, better than another game that would take an equal amount of effort.

Has it ever ocurred to you that Ruby and Sapphire are the most sold games for the gba? And how about the 4-10 year old children? Chances are huge they haven't experienced Hoenn yet. R/S remakes would probably sell just as well as any other game.

Actually all the hate only comes from people who were too much in love with the games before that. I've actually never heard anyone ever complain about them outside these forums.
 
Personally I wouldn't buy Hoenn remakes yet. It still feels too recent to me. Gold and Silver, yes, because that was on a FAAAR inferior system and I could not trade Pokemon over in any way, as well as the fact that it was four years or so before RSE. But, especially with an unfinished Emerald cart, I would feel much more inclined to pop in Emerald if I wanted to relive the experience. It will grab younger fans, but many of us older fans wouldn't have enough nostalgia/necessity for the purchase, and a chunk of that group would be lost sales if they tried it too soon.

You see, FR/LG made sense when RSE came out. Since our old GameBoy Color carts were essentially bricked, we needed a way to regain many of the old Pokemon. Plus, RSE was really the start of a new generation, where many children wanted the game as well. HG/SS make sense now because GSC actually had a clock system battery (AKA a timebomb) inside that would eventually make them not only inferior and incompatible, but to the average consumer, unplayable. Kanto remakes worked because of how ANCIENT the technology was for RBY (and to some extent, GSC)- black and white or a single pallet for the entire game and hardly any detail. As it is, RSE are ALMOST the same graphical quality as the current gen- 2D sprites with a few little 3D touches that make Stadium's graphics look like the PS3. In fact, Emerald had MOVING sprites, which was better than Diamond/Pearl and on par with Platinum. As it is RSE is almost as good graphically as HG/SS, and those games aren't even out yet. Hoenn would be nice to be explorable, as Kanto was in Johto, but entirely new games... nah, it seems a bit too early.
 
RSE also has the time-bomb inside too, with clock battires. The saves dont get deleted though.
 
That's the main difference. With G/S once the clock stops you lose it all. RSE didn't even have Day/Night...
