RS Remake Thread
 

There's been a lot of debate over remakes of RS and this is the thread where you can put down speculation of the game or just a wishlist.

Here's some of my own wishes.

Emerald Battle Frontier
Gym Leader rematches.
Change in gym leader teams to be more Gen III based.
After you beat Steven the first time he'll be in Meteor Falls and Wallace will be the new champion while Juan will be in Sootoplis ready for a rematch.
Wally gets the starter you and Brendan/May didn't chose.
More rival battles, we deserve to see the final form of our rivals starter!

Note: This thread is for what we want and speculation, don't start any flamewars about when the game will come out or if it will at all.

I would want to see these:
1.Pokémon following you
2. BW similar battle simulation
3. Some Unova pokémon in the Hoenn dex
4. You can get Reggigigas in the after game after catching the Regi trio
5.An in-game Jirachi and Deoxys event
6.Pokémon musicals instead of contests
7.Like Emerald,you can battle Steven in the aftergame
8.You can get both Kyogre and Groudon in both the games regardless of which version you have (Like HG/SS)
9. You support team aqua in the ruby version and you support team magma in the sapphire version
10. Some triple battles
11. Dialga,Palkia,and Giratina in the aftergame
12. 3DS enhanchments
13. AR cards for Kyogre and Groudon as preorder bonuses and when you have both of them in the 3DS camera they battle eachother
14. Rayquaza AR card if you pre order both
15. May doesn't get replaced
16. the games are for 3DS only
17. You get to battle Gold in the aftergame with a Red-like team

Heck yes! I was disappointed to see all the battling stop after Lilycove City.

I agree with these too:
As for original ideas...

Somewhere to go post-game! Sure, you can pick up the Regis and Lati@s, and visit the Battle Tower, but there is no additional land to explore like in GSCFrLgDPPtHgSsBW. Well, unless you include the area around Pacifidlog, which technically isn't required. As I have been getting tired of seeing Kanto, maybe we could get just the Sevii Islands, or maybe a few more?

I'm a little curious to see what will happen with contests. I have no idea if the Poffin/PokéBlock data is kept in BW (as you cannot see it), but I loved the Ruby/Sapphire contests and would enjoy seeing them again.

Not RS remakes, but I'd like to see a better form of importing, and maybe see Pokémon Box get re-released.

These are the features I believe will be in the remakes:

• Contests will return
• A new area will be introduced which includes gen V Pokemon
• The regional Pokedex will not be changed to include Gen IV/V Pokemon
• Battle Frontier
• Different times of day & seasons
• Team magma's HQ will be in Jagged Pass

I've heard that the beauty stat exists in the game, but I don't know about the other contest stats.

So far, what hints are there that they will remake RSE?Here are a few, feel free to add more
1. Dawn went to Hoenn like May went to johto
2. They brought dive back in the games
3. They will have pokemon ex to return in the card game
4.The little things on Garbodor's body are red and blue
5.Basculin comes in red and blue
6. Reshiram and Zekrom's eyes are red and blue
7. In the building you get the gb player in HGSS they say they're remaking a game
8. You can get Kyogre,Groudon,Rayquaza, Latios, and Latias in Hg and SS. There was also a Jirachi and a Deoxys distribution for DPPT
9. You can get the regis in platinum
10.There is a 6th gym leader that is flying type like winonna and even resembles her
11.New style of battle introduced(triple) like they introduced oduble in the third gen
12. There is an emerald mine in the 5th gym
13.The E4 battle music in B/W sounds like the Hoenn music at one part
14. Some of he music in B/W sounds a little like Hoenn music
15. Wallace cup in the anime...'nuff said
16. Steven appears in HG/SS
17. You can get the Hoenn starters in HG/SS
Any more hints?

Those aren't really hints. Those are just giving old players nostalgia.

Also I hardly thing red and blue has to do with anything.

Some of your points are just silly. (no offense)

they actually kinda are

PS are the ones in bold the silly ones?

Really the hint don't mean anything since nearly all the ones they had for HGSS meant nothing.

Yeah the bold ones, but I think they'll remake em anyway. Pokemon's not going to keep going for years and years, so they'll do anything they can to keep sucking the money out of it.

I hope they don't make any more generations because it has gone long enough. I think they'll release the games next year (2012) because they released HGSS on the tenth anniversary of Gold and Silver. Ruby an Sapphire came out in 2002 in Japan, so I think they'll do the same with these remakes. It'lle just like FRLG when they were released after the release of the first two games of he generation.

All highlighted are excellent points, but to add on to a few:
1: Indeed, I think this could definitely be seen as an excellent parallel. ...Also, Dawn went to Hoenn?! ...God I'm outta touch.
11: This is harder to argue outright, but the fact that triple & rotation battles are used so sparingly throughout the games (depending on the game, the count I seem to recall is about 5 & 1 respectively) it could be used either in Grey/[Name that sounds much better than "Grey" here] or the sequels for certain.
16: This definitely had some merit with HGSS, so I certainly wouldn't doubt it.

In theory they could remake remakes... Though, I doubt it.

Maybe double-pack remake? <-- Totally not serious.

Dunno, they weren't used in some cases, but they still showed there may have been plans. Just because the final product doesn't match the creators original ideas shouldn't rule anything out.

You seem to be under the impression Pokémon is:

a) A cash cow.
b) Dieing.

For the former, it's most certainly not, at least compared to the franchises of Nintendo in general (where as Pokémon is GF's franchise); exhibit A: Mario 1 on NES, SNES (remake), GBC (NES Port), Wii (SNES port), Mario 2/3 on NES, SNES (remake), GBA (SNES port), Wii (SNES port)... well, really, you already see the pattern.

For the latter, its simply untrue - Pokémon is more popular than ever in Japan, and is seeing a healthy uptick in the US as well with B/W I believe exceeding both the previous generations original two game sales{{citation needed}}.

...Honestly, why in the world would you want that? The series is only now getting creative with B&W (you could argue this to death, but it was much more innovative than Gen4 for certain), and it only continues to increase in overall popularity, to a greater extent in Japan.

Hell, Gen 7 seems like a great time to get rid of the overworld, or at least make it an alternate camera view.

The one exception could be the Pokémon, where the general Nostalgia-included consensus often seems to have Gen2 & Gen3 as being most creative (certainly, Gen1 & Gen5 are on par by and large).

Am I the only one hoping that all this while, GameFreak has been intending remaking entire Generations and not just version couples?

FRLG and RSE are all games that were made in Gen 3. If what I said above was true, could we be looking at remakes of both RSE and FRLG? I know FRLG are already remakes, but nevertheless, they are still Gen 3 games.

Looking at the current generation, I'm honestly thinking a FRLG remake is possible, as there is little connection between Unova and Kanto (Gen 1 Pokemon being difficult to get and all). Furthermore, Kanto has been an accessible region in every other Generation so far, I'm sure Game Freak would want to keep this tradition alive.

While 4 remakes (R, S, Fr, Lg) might pushing it a little bit, I think one Hoenn remake and one Kanto remake is quite plausible. Emerald and Yellow remake anyone?

Well,as long as gamefreak has the money, they'll just keep making ugly pokemon.Sooo we're getting off topic here, so do ya think you'll be able to visit Kanto in the generation 3 remakes?

Lol, I was just thinking about that 2 posts (or something) ago.

Might be pushing it, but Im hoping for a Emerald and Yellow remake as opposed to RS and FRLG. Heck, even asking for a Kanto remake is pushing it quite a bit.

Guys, this isn't the place to flame Gen V pokemon. There is no place to flame gen V pokemon. Stay on topic please.

And pray to GOD there are RSE remakes. I don't have a gen III game yet.

Dont worry why wouldn't they?

If this isn't RK-9, They will make it and if not their will one

GODAMIT MAKE IT ALREADY!

You guys aren't paying attention to the rules I made for this thread.

This thread is just post your ideas or possibilities of a remake of Ruby and Sapphire not over whether they will happen or I'm gonna have to hand out infractions.

it would be awsome to see what kinds of upgraded graphics they would bring to the remakes if they do deside to remake them. Plus i would like to see what kinds of areas would be new. maybe mirage island will be visiable more often.

I would just be happy with a port with updated graphics... My RS copies no longer save and I don't know if I'll ever get around to replacing the batteries... :(

RS should still save your game without the battery? My emerald did but the time just stoped. Anyways I like to see that cloneing glitch that was in emerald return for these games.

Positive Side

I'd like to see...
-Pokemon following you
-Regigigas after getting Regi trio
-More Wi-Fi events than B & W
-Battle Frontier is there, but it's completely abandoned because the budget was low (referencing how it was removed). You can still be challenged by it and there are wild Pokémon there.
-It's for All DS models including 3DS (no-one wants to buy a new console just to buy a new game.


Negative Side

It's not gonna happen. Nintendo haven't made any plans or announced it, and they also said they were done with the 5th generation, personally I believe they shouldn't break the cycle.

I think this game will have, along with everything I said in my previous post:

- A new place to evolve Nosepass/Magneton (only accessible post-national dex)
- Separate contest buildings like in R/S
- No Gen V Pokemon post-national dex (except in the battle frontier)

I also think it's much more likely now for it to come out for the 3DS after the major price drop.

If there's a glitch they know about, they are not gonna bring it back in the remakes.

Well what if they evolved in New Mawville City?
While Leafeon can evolve in the Petalburg woods.
Glaceon can evolve in Shoal Cave.

it would be cool to see those very high level pokemon in the skytower again. I think they were around the levels of 50's-60's in ruby and sapphire, and emerald had them in the 30's-40's <--which sucks for emerald.

I just would really like to see new graphics for them. I mean I still play ruby, but new graphics and the BW battle style would be cool.

^ This.
The third gen's storylines were great, and I don't want them to change it at all.
I'm really just hoping for better graphics and /maybe/ some new features.
I hope they put Rotation Battles or Triple Battles somewhere in the remakes. They were rarely used anyways in BW.

So yeah, improved graphics is all I really want.

They did not say that they were done with gen V that was a poor translation they evens aid it themselves that they never said they weren't.

Oh, does it? My copy must be broken or something then. The save erases itself after some (random) amount of time, making it very unreliable to play.

i would love a rs remake
i would love to see bw battle graphics and use the 3d ont the 3dslike make important events into 3d videos like when u battle maxie or the elite four and when u meet legendaries that way its completly compatible with the other games and still use the 3d capabilities and remach everybody and them level up and maybe even travel to sinnoh and collect their badges be able to catch dialga or palkia depending on the game and actually have wally and may play a bigger role in the game make the gym leaders difficult and actually have them participate in thegame against the villan instead of leaving it up to u bring back pokemon contests and the battle tents and have the pokemon conteste in diferent cities also customizable avatars so its more of u just off the top of my head

I'm looking forward to taller, more-realistic sprites for the GL's and E4.

You know what? Sod it, I'll be abrupt. I'll ask the owner of Game Freak if they have any plans, it's gone on long enough! You will laugh at this comment but you will see... Oh you will see...

I hope you can find Audino in the games so you can brush up on levels and I hope rustling grass and wild double battles return in these games.

@Plusleplusminun (Or however you spell it) Audino would probably not be in the game until after the E4 is beaten, and you unlock the national dex. Just like in most other games ;)

Am I the only one who doesn't want 3D battling in the main series games? I like me some classic 2D Pokemon battles, thank you very much!

Well, I was thinking this: Maybe we can have BOTH?! D;

If these games are really going to be made, then better for GameFreak to hurry up before I completely lose my interest in Pokémon.

My current wishlist is:
-The game can be played with both 3DS and NDS.
-All 3D graphics and battle stimulation that were introduced in BW are kept.
-Changing of seasons and day/night.
-Pokémon follow you around.
-Focusing on Gen III Pokémon the most.
-An intense story line like the one in BW, making the competition between Aqua and Magma more thrilling.
-More challenging battles.
-An interesting Battle Frontier and a land to explore after the game.
-To be able to get all of Hoenn's legends and create a good plot for each one of them.

Well, maybe they can follow the story line as after the "hero" beat Aqua/Magma. Then they could have a sorta rivalry continuing there ot something. Eh, i gave it a shot :P

For some reason I get the feeling they;ll add a few islands to explore in the aftergame like thay did in FRLG

Oooo I HOPE they make islands! Maybe you visit sinnoh.. Just like in HGSS, you visit Kanto..

I doubt it, since the distance between the two regions is quite a lot.

I made this while ago and here it is


I'll make ones for the E4, Rival Battles, Evil Teams and rematches later.

Comments in bold.

Wait, how come these predictions are so detailed?

Be cool if say N traveled here and you get to battle him. Just saying.

I have to much time on my hands.

Gen V takes place several years after Gen III. Just saying.

Well I was hoping for the remakes. More trade pokemon. We barely had any in R/S and maybe combine the main characters clothing from both R/S and E. I mean like Combine Brendans clothing from both games into one whole.

-battle frontier
-more after game
-the rival at least being a challenge
-slightly altered gyms and elite 4
-more in game trades
-NO musical
-contests/battle tents return
-Groudon, kyogre, and rayquaza are all catchable
-regigigas is catchable
-(i don't know if this was explained or not but...) explain all that cryptic **** with unlocking the regis!
-gym rematches
-animated poke sprites (duh...)
-Mach and acro bike are still in it (even though I can't see how they can't include them)
-also maybe a "red like" battle somewhere along with steven (if he isn't already the champion)
and thats just about all I can think of right now about what I want to see in a R/S remake. MAKE IT HAPPEN GAME FREAK!

This, this and this! I would be frustrated if I see more useless musical concerts...

RS had a good story (Whatever people thought it's my opinion) In a sense, since Gen 1 and 2 got remakes. Gen 3 should get one too.

Well this is not really the case itself, Gen 1 and 2 were needed as there was no way to bring Pokémon from those games to the now current ones. However, Gen 3 doesn't need one for that reason. another reason could be ease of access for the players. I don't think you want to get Gen 3 'mons and transfer them to 4 than 5 it's too much hassle in my opinion. (actually I don't know if Gen 3 'mons can be transferred directly to B/W)

i think that we need to just remake the games in the new black and white graphics. i also think like a few others in this thread that we need to be able to catch regigigas after catching the other regis, and being able to catch Groudon/Kyogre in both games. the trainers in the game also need a major roster change like what they did with the trainers roster in platinum.

The roster change is most likely not gonna happen, sorry. They change the levels in the remakes, but not the rosters. Well,at least for the main story mode. For the aftergame like rematches, etc. that coul happen for gym leader and e4 rematches

Not trying to encourage anything this is just my prediction of Pokemon's 4 year plan.


Next year in 2014 they will put emphasis on Gold and Silver and reveal the Mega forms of the Johto Starters and maybe have another Pokemon The Origin Special but Gold and Silver instead. Part 1 would be about Ethan and Silver's introduction. Part 2 would focus on the Burned Tower. Part 3 on the Lake of Rage or Radio Tower Take Over. Part 4 would probably feature a mega of Johto legendary or Gold battling Red. They'll have events for Johto legendaries, maybe even something simular the Naval Rock event since it would be unfair for XY to cut out the Johto legendaries

2015 would have focus Hoenn and then Ruby and Sapphire Remakes will be revealed along with Mega Swampert and Mega Sceptile and some random Hoenn Legendary Mega. Who knows maybe RSRemakes will feature more new mega pokemon.

2016 will have focus on Sinnoh and reveal the mega forms for Sinnoh Starters, maybe Pokemon Z will have a stronger emphasis on Sinnoh pokemon along with extra references to Platinum. Sinnoh already had a sort of French style to it in my opinion so I'm not sure how much they could change. Of course I can imagine Sinnoh legendaries will be catchable in Pokemon Z regardless because of the supposed two game gap pattern for legendaries they've started.

Early 2017 before Generation 7 is revealed they'll have a small scale emphasis on Unova and the starter mega forms and maybe some mega form for an Unova legendary, personally kind of hoping they don't stuff all the Sinnoh and Unova Legendaries into one game. In the same year the Kalos starters could finally get there own Mega forms exclusive to Pokemon Z.

OR in 2017 Masuda will pull something out of left field, the hidden event legendary messenger squirrel pokemon is revealed as the mascot for a sequel to XYZ which will feature Yggdrasil as an opnipetent tree/location or the final event legendary which could be the secondary mascot. It will feature Unova Legendaries and the Mega Evolution of Unova Pokemon. I can imagine if this is the final game it could have a place like the Shinjo ruins to connect the myths of both regions to allow access to an Unova legendary maybe this game would have access to Unova since it's hinted that the regions are closely related.


And yes my personal life does have a four year plan just as detailed as this one.

3d ruby and sapphire ermehgerd it would be so great also they should make new games in old regions like a new adventure in Kanto

I know this doesn't confirm anything, but you never know.

He may have just been referring to post game stuff.

Yeah, I think there would have been a more direct reference to Hoenn if they were gonna do that, like maybe have the speaker be a gym leader or an elite four member.

I have a strange feeling that we will have said remakes, its just a matter of time of when they make them. Cause they remade older games already so 3rd gen is next. (1st gen-Remade for GBA, 2nd gen-remade For DS, 3rd gen-Should be remade for 3ds) I see a patteren here.

So apparently contest data is completely gone in XY, if you transfer over a Feebas with Max Beauty and level it up in XY it won't evolve like in BW.

Wasn't contest data erased in Gen 5? That's why we need Prism Scales to evolve Feebas.

No it was still present, it was just hidden.
