For the love of money, of course they'll do that
They seem pretty content at 5 titles per generation so far, and the remakes already have the features of their third version baked in. Unless they were to start going for actual sequels, third versions would be superfluous, and a waste of money for GF when they could be developing those new features for the next generation of games.

Hoenn is a vast region with underwater locations, and so is Unova and with Wi-Fi added in, I doubt that both regions would fit on a Nintendo 3DS game card.
What's the biggest game on the PSP? Im sure thats not an issue mane. If anything Nintendo's uber milking efficiency as a company would stop it from happening.

They'd rather have both regions released on different game cards with 100% full compatibility.

Biggest 3DS card atm is 4GB and of course I won't be shocked if 8GB comes by next year. Size is not an issue. They just won't ever do that again. As said before they had both regions in G/S because they thought they would be done after that. Clearly that didn't end up being true but still.
Okay I still can't follow you.For the love of money, of course they'll do that
You want them to release a remake of Yellow and of Crystal... by themselves... to be "compatible" with the 3DS titles?
Why? What would this achieve other than to dilute the market to stop innovation for the many years they're developing these titles for?
EmperorMattevs
Neo Member
Innovation? what innovation? lls. We've been stuck for the same Pokemon formula for a long time now.
Dilute? I doubt it, the Pokemon user base has grown over the years!

Yea I'm confused too. The main reason they even started the remakes is because the GBA had no way to trade to the past games. Now all gens can lead to Gen V so in the end there is no reason to remake Yellow or Crystal.
Though they need to remake R/S/E because they need to fix everything they did wrong with it
Every new gen brings with it new Pokémon, new gameplay mechanics, refinements to the battle system, tweaking of the move rulesets etc. etc.
If you freeze a gen in place to release all these remakes you seem to want (which take ages to make hence why we only get one game every two years if we're lucky) in the name of having every game being able to play against every other game it'd get really old really fast. You don't need every game able to battle every other game.
You buy the current gen, trade, battle, have fun. Then a new gen comes out. You use PalPark to migrate your Pokémon collection to the new gen then use the new gen as your new home and enjoy all its additions. It's a good system and your suggestions just sound worse.

Gen V beginning with Gray for the Nintendo 3DS will be the starting point for next generation of Pokemon games.
Black and White are gen 5.
Next gen is VI.
Grey will be a part of gen V or won't exist at all. Why would you want a third version of a game in a different gen? That's completely pointless.
EmperorMattevs
Neo Member
Yes, you said "gen V [beginning with Grey]". You also said Grey would be the "starting point" for a new generation. What did you mean if not that B/W were gen IV?
MatthewB92

I'm so confused right now.
Just because Grey might be on 3DS it doesn't mean it's a different gen.

Apparently no-one is saying that. Except what EmperorMattevs wrote said exactly that. Or something. I don't know. I haven't actually been able to logically follow a single thing he's said so far. I'm just getting really confused.
EmperorMattevs

I didn't say that B/W isn't Gen V. What I mean is that Gray *which is part of Gen V* would be the starting point for future Pokemon titles for Nintendo 3DS.
What does that mean?
You're making a ton of statements and although the sentences make sense I can't actually understand the thoughts behind them.
Will Grey also be 100% compatible with future 3DS Pokémon titles in your plan? Along with... remakes of Yellow and Crystal? How would this work?
I don't think he understands the gens:
Gen I:
R/B/Y (GameBoy)
Gen II:
G/S/C (GameBoy/GameBoy Color for G/S, GameBoy Color for Crystal)
Gen III:
R/S/E (GameBoy Advance)
FR/LG (GameBoy Advance)
Gen IV:
D/P/P (Nintendo DS)
HG/SS (Nintendo DS)
Gen V:
B/W/G (Nintendo DS for B/W, Likely Nintendo 3DS for Grey)
Gen I:
R/B/Y (GameBoy)
Gen II:
G/S/C (GameBoy/GameBoy Color for G/S, GameBoy Color for Crystal)
Gen III:
R/S/E (GameBoy Advance)
FR/LG (GameBoy Advance)
Gen IV:
D/P/P (Nintendo DS)
HG/SS (Nintendo DS)
Gen V:
B/W/G (Nintendo DS for B/W, Likely Nintendo 3DS for Grey)

Somebody help me out here please I can't parse this into a form comprehensible by me.

But gen does mean generation.
EmperorMattevs
Neo Member
I didn't put a roman numeral or a number after generation, since I wasn't pertaining to it as "Gen" :|
He just got confused when he thought I was referring to generation as "Gen __"

Yeah I'm confused too.
But then he already said Pokemons are rehashes so meh.

All I really want is Ruby/Saphire remakes (with the added content from Emerald). But I'm finding that hard to hope for at the moment.
Wasn't HeartGold and SoulSilver made because "the audience wanted it," or am I wrong?

Anybody who says Pokemon games are all the same haven't played a Pokemon game recently. On booting up Black I forgot how ridiculous an amount of stuff there was to do.

That would mean I would have to go to the community part.
Discussing the next game that is about to be released as per the news in the OP of this thread?

Don't mind it if you don't get it
You'll just confuse yourself even more trying to figure out what I said, when in fact I already explained what I just said. lls.

But your explanations make no sense whatsoever. So what are you even doing?

SMH. *sighs*
B/W were also taking longer than they expected in development, so they got another team to work on them. R/S/E remakes are likely now that it's a trend though. R/S/E aren't compatible on any current Nintendo hardware, and there's a new set of kids who'll be experiencing it for the first time at that point.
I'd like to see them go the high road and have an actual Gen III remake with R/FR and S/LG featuring Emerald's enhancements and story elements as a set of remakes, but I know that's never going to happen.
Not one single person in this thread has understood you. Not one.
From your very first post you've been babbling something incomprehensible. Is English your first language? It's okay if it isn't and that'd explain why you can't express what you're trying to but seriously we just can't follow you.
Turn FireRed/LeafGreen and Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald into one mega-game pair? Or both remade separately?
EmperorMattevs
Neo Member
That's fine. I can manage.
I meant some sort of mega-game pair, yes. Just a distant fantasy knowing Nintendo though.
Well, FR/LF and R/S/E shared an area, right? The Sevill islands? I could see the hook.
But.
How would you handle plot? Would it be Red as protagonist or Ruby?

I'd love a full 3D reboot of Red & Blue on 3DS with all the trimmings. Streetpass, online and it's be so on.
Otherwise id not give a shit. New Pokemon design really sucks.

Ew no.
What would that accomplish? Black and White was already a reboot of sorts.
Why? Have you played any of the later games?
Your nostalgia clouds your judgement.
They only shared a couple of islands in Emerald, but they were explicitly the Sevii Islands so that's really the only connection the games inherently have, outside of the few references the characters in FR/LG Sevii Islands make to the Hoenn Gym Leaders and Elite Four. Outside of that, I have no idea how they could manage it. A story hook featuring Rocket involvement in Magma/Aqua affairs maybe, leading to a interquel from Gen 1 to Gen 2? I'm just dreaming really.
You're wrong in so many ways.

Hell I'll just say it ever though it won't happen.
Make grey and the 3rd gen remake the same game. Maybe make it so you have to go to Hoenn after the 5th gym.
long shot but hell that's what it will be in my mind.

That's so crazy it just might never happen
Guys this game combination idea thing isn't that good I think. You forget how those stories were paced and stuff. All the early areas are designed to be slow introductions to get you going.
The only way it would work is if you had the second area as a Gold/Silver style affair where it's a new story and chunks of content are skipped, but then that wouldn't really be a remake.

That'd be so awesome, but I highly doubt it would happen.
If they did do it though, 10,000 cool points to Gamefreak.
