This might be a comfermartiom won't it? If he's considering it chances are high they've began working on it or else he wouldn't have randomly brought it up..

I have no problem with RS remakes. I'm more than content to let Hoenn get its turn. I just want a little assurance that once it's done, it'll be Kanto's turn once more.

I would love to see Kanto in Gen VI maybe as a Yellow Remake or something but lets let Hoenn get the attention.... and Kanto is original they'll never forget it maybe just give us a break V gens in a row is too much

This is good news that Masuda would aknoledge fan's want of these games. But is this really confirmation that such games are being developed? In such case I'll be glad as well. Im not the biggest fan of Hoenn but want to see an updated version of this region. Im hoping they consider releasing this for the 10th anniversery of R/S, thats the earliest it could probably happen. Also hope to see it on the 3DS.

They have already started development probibly otherwise they would've never brought it up.... I see it coming out in Japan by March September at the latest next year then Grey in 2013 to round up Gen V

Why, why, why, why, why, why?!

There isn't anything to fix in R/S besides the physical/special split and nearly all Hoenn Pokemon are available in the Gen 4 games, so a remake is completely unnecessary. Acknowledging the fan demand means that a company will be going down the toilet, just like what happened to the Sonic fanbase.

Ignoring the fact that HG/SS were completly unnessicary as well whats your point?

HG/SS were necessary because not many Johto Pokemon were easily available in the Gen 3 games and D/P/Pt, and there were some problems in Gen 2 that needed fixing such as the lack of a Safari Zone. Plus they took place during D/P/Pt's timeline while R/S doesn't take place in the same timeline as Gen 5 like the previous remakes.

I'm guessing our constant pleading to GameFreak is working? Anyway, I'm very happy he's considering it!

Re: Masuda to "consider" Ruby and Sapphire remakes: Game Freak director acknowledges

otherwise they would've never brought it up....

Masuda didn't, someone else (RSremake) tweeted a long paragraph at him that for the RS generation and all those who hold RS dear, etc, please remake RS. Masuda replied with 'Thank you! Your thoughts have been recieved. R/S are a very important work for me too. I want to create something good. Thank you!!'.

Though I do wonder how ''consider'' turned up--and is being focused upon--seeing as it's nowhere within the original tweet...

No... All Johto Pokemon were easily avable before HG/SS sans Ho-oh, Lugia and Celibi. And R/S needs fixing as well Day/Night P/S split. Graphics and playablility remember you cannot play R/S on the DSi or 3DS... So going by your logic HG/SS were completly unneeded. Nostalgia is a reason as is Money

I'm curies though... does Masuda speak English?

Silktree already explained to me that the DSi works fine with trading regular DS games, and must I remind you that not everyone has the GCN games nor the patience to complete the Hoenn dex by catching them all, especially when you need another game to get version-exclusive Hoenn legendaries. Nostalgia and money means nothing when the whole point of VG remakes is to fix some of the problems the original had.

And R/S had problems and still can't be played added to the fact that the DSphat/lite are deader then Disco and the relitive rarity of R/S games now. R/S need to be remade HG/SS were not needed but GF still remade them. so yeah Nostalgia and money mean everything

Thats great maybe someone can send him a tweet to clear up the issue? So is it safe to say R/S remakes are basicly confirmed?

Re: Masuda to "consider" Ruby and Sapphire remakes: Game Freak director acknowledges

Masuda is "considering" R/S remakes in the same way Nexon was "considering" keeping the Maplestory Big Bang update intact from its Korean counterpart.

It's basically confirmed, but they're not about to spill the beans just yet.

Junichi_Masuda: Yes,of course! I try it!

Haha! That's adorable.
