gaming pokemon remakes

[Flutter_shy_FTW 29]

So, I am wondering why GameFreak hasn't made a remake of my favorite pokemon game: Emerald. Really? the Kanto region gets 3 remakes if you count Pokemon Yellow and the Kanto region from the Johto games. Johto gets a remake in Heart Gold and Soul Silver, Sinnoh gets a remake in Platinum, and the new region gets a remake in Black 2 and White 2. So I was wondering, would anypony like to see a remake of the Hoenn region which was my favorite? If so, what were your favorite things about Hoenn (pokemon, gyms, layout, etc.)?

I think it should be remade into a completley 3d game for the 3ds without any sort of cartoon art style

it could be a great 3DS game and pave the way to more good pokemon games

meh, i kinda liked the cartoony style of the game, and making it into an all 3d game just wouldn't feel like the same game i played and finished 5 times when i was 9.

Well

RBG -> Y -> GSC -> RS -> LGFR -> E -> DPPL -> HGSS -> BW -> BW2

 

Notice the space between Gold, Silver and Crystal and their remakes. They are probably going to make remakes of RSE but it might take years.

 

btw I do NOT want it for the 3DS.

it being for the 3ds would be the stupidest thing GameFreak has ever done. Make it for the DS, and hell, maybe even the Gameboy SP, but NOT for the 3ds! I like that you brought up the point of the gap though! Nopony has talked about the things they liked in the Hoenn region...

Well if you look at it that way, Emerald itself is a remake of Ruby and Sapphire. But a remake will come soon, trust me.

 

Now RBY and GSC were significantly older and more outdated than RSE, so that's why they were remade first. If you look at it, Red and Green came out in 1995 in Japan and Gold and Silver came out in 1999 while Ruby and Sapphire came out in late 2002.

 

The graphics have not changed that much since Emerald. Emerald was for the GBA, and the newest games that are for the DS which is the console that came right after. So a remake for the DS wouldn't be such a great improvement imo. Now if they were made for the 3DS it would make alot more sense to me, but Game Freak seems to want to stick with the original DS for as long as they can so I don't know...

 

But the remakes will come. They will probably be the next games after B&W2. There's also plenty of evidence In Black and White that remakes of the Hoenn games will be made in the same generation such as the fact that Dive is now a HM again.

The original games were already for the Game Boy SP... I do not see the point of making a remake of a game on the same console it was originally released for...

[Carbon 57]

Black and White isn't that much of a step up from Emerald, the only really difference is the DS's use of 2.5D. It is pretty much the same in terms of region size, design, and plot layout, along with the way you acquire Pokemon and the strategies that you can use to defeat your opponent.

I am not sure where, but I think I read on some Pokémon website that after BW2 there's gonig to be some other game and after that we will maybe see remakes of RSE

[Driz 1,552]

I don't really know what to expect from Game Freak anymore.

 

But one of my biggest wishes is a 3D Pokémon for the consoles, just like Pokémon XD and Colosseum, featuring all of the regions together and giving a more open-world gameplay: free to explore and not focused only in beating the Gyms and becoming the Champion.

 

There are so many good ideas the fans have, and it would be awesome if "they" considered the ideas.

[Thunderstorm 120]

Emerald's not my favorite Pokemon game (I don't really like Pokemon anymore seeing as the new games suck now IMO) but Emerald was a remake. If anything I think they'll make a remake of Ruby and Sapphire. I'd go that way. Go Ruby!

(Leafgreen is best game XD)

 

THIS POST IS ALL MY OPINION. Just saying because people normally rant at me for these kind of things..

[weegeez 150]

I'm sure it will be coming, but not until 2013 or 2014, we already had a new pokemon release this year. Also since for the first time they made the new version of of pokemon games into a pair of games, I think emerald will solely get a remake, rather than ruby and sappire. I also agree, Emerald is the best pokemon game

[SonOfTheNorthe 412]

They need to make a pokemon game with every single region, every single pokemon. And then quit making more games in a turn based style. They've milked pokemon for far too long.

I'm not saying here that they should make a remake only of Emerald. They did kinda the same thing with GSC, Crystal was sorta a joint thing combining silver and gold, and Emerald was pretty much joining Sapphire and Ruby. I see them making a remake of Sapphire and Ruby before they do anything with emerald.

Pokemon was a huge part of my childhood, and I asked a kid in WalMart playing pokemon if he liked Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur better...he had no idea what i was talking about...GameFreak needs to stop making new pokemon and go back to the original 150.

Yup, that's true. Very true. They improved the games with Crystal/Emerald.

To me, the new Pokemon aren't even Pokemon.

 

I'm actually ok with the new Pokemons, as they can't let the franchise die. Besides, all the cartoon thingy and the new Pokemons games are directly aimed for children, so I don't think they'll change this anytime soon as it is a gold mine from the beggining.

I am going to make a new topic on everyponie's favorite starter pokemon up to Diamond and Pearl

[Sepia-chan 495]

You say that Emerald dosen't have a remake. But then you say that DP got remade by Platinum. By the logic that the third versions are 'remakes', then Emerald itself is a remake.

 

If you're just saying that Gen 3 needs a remake, then be patient. Silver and Gold came out 11 years ago. Emerald came out 6 years ago, definitely not enough time to warrant a remake.

I do think a remake of Ruby/Saphire will happen eventually on the 3ds.

This point has already been made and I corrected myself by saying ruby and sapphire in one of my posts

Oops, sorry. But I edited my post with another point, the time it was released.

FILLING UP THE SPACE FOR 100 CHARACTERS YEAAHHH!

[Marshmallow 1,137]

No. No. No.

Not at all.

 

The originals were on the Game Boy while the remakes were on the Game Boy Advance. Those are completely different consoles. The Game Boy was first released in 1989. The GBA was released in 2001 ie, 12 years later.

 

 

I mean, compare the two games. How can you seriously believe that they were made on consoles with similar capabilities? The GBA was WAY ahead the original GB in terms of pretty much everything.

[Espeon 338]

I skimmed this thread and I feel like I gotta clear some things up and toss out a theory of mine in the process

 

First, reading stuff like "To me, the new Pokemon aren't even Pokemon" and "GameFreak needs to stop making new pokemon and go back to the original 150" and "I don't really like Pokemon anymore seeing as the new games suck now IMO" and "Black and White isn't that much of a step up from Emerald, the only really difference is the DS's use of 2.5D" absolutely MURDERS ME. Marshmallow's posts are the only ones I can read in this thread without nerdraging hardcore, no offense to everyone else. What's happening here is you guys aren't even willing to try new things and learn about the changes in the series. Sure, it may be your opinion, but it's also an uneducated opinion. When you were young and there was this thing you heard of called "Pokemon," did you judge by what you saw and whether or not it looked like a Pokemon to you, or did you just play the damn games and enjoy them?

 

First quote, and yes this is me being lazy and not using the quote function: what makes them not Pokemon to you? Is it the way they look? Is it the unoriginality in their design? Is it simply the fact that they're newer than Mew/Celebi/Deoxys, depending on the last gen you found to be tolerable? I see no way to discern what is or isn't a Pokemon based on those characteristics. If Gamefreak made it and put it in a Pokemon game and it's usable the same as any other Pokemon, it's a Pokemon.

 

Second quote: gahh why do I even bother trying to refute opinions, but why do they need to stop making new Pokemon and "go back to the original 150," whatever that even means? Are we completely ignoring Mew and hashing out Kanto remakes every year? How happy would anyone be with the same old shit over and over again? 150 isn't even close to a large enough selection to have decent variety in anything. Let's look at the number of certain types out of Kanto Pokemon, shall we? Ghost: 3. Ghastly, Haunter, Gengar. Dragon: 3. Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite. Using the two types introduced in GSC, Steel: 2. Magnemite and Magneton. Dark: ZERO. Normal: 24, counting Normal/Flying and Ditto, 15 without them. Even not counting Normal/Flyings and Ditto, there are still almost twice the amount of Normal types as there are Ghost, Dragon, Steel, and Dark types COMBINED in the Kanto Pokedex. If we're talking about only Gen 1 mechanics and moves, there is a grand total of ONE Dragon move, and it deals fixed damage. Flying moves are limited to Fly and Drill Peck, which only a few Pokemon get. Any way you look at it, going "back to the original 150" would be a terrible thing to do for everyone involved.

 

Third quote: What about them makes them suck to you? I'd really like to know.

 

Fourth quote: At least know what you're talking about before you state things as fact. In Emerald, attacks were separated into categories of Physical and Special based on what type they were (namely Normal, Fighting, Rock, Ground, Ghost, Poison, Flying, Bug, and Steel are physical and Water, Fire, Grass, Psychic, Electric, Dragon, Dark, and Ice are special). Ever since, the distinction has been made on a move-to-move basis, meaning Thunderbolt is special and Thunderpunch is physical, for example. This changed a lot more than it sounds like, since Gyarados now has a physical Water move in Waterfall, Dragons can actually use their higher Attack stat for Dragon Claw/Outrage, Gengar has special STAB moves for a change, etc etc. There were a lot more minor things added too, for example 263 POKEMON and tons of new moves, leading to new strategies like Trick Room. No, they're not identical in terms of strategies you can use to defeat your opponents, surprise surprise.

 

Here ends me being an uptight, nitpicking ass who knows too much about Pokemon. Time for my theory.

Standard Pokemon generational formula: Two main games in a new region, third game in that region that adds some postgame stuff and smooths out mechanics and adds, changes, or combines plot points, and two remakes of the games two generations prior with updated graphics and mechanics. That's how we get Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen in Gen 3, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver in Gen 4. Thus far, Gen 5 has deviated from the path a bit in that instead of a combination game for Black and White, due to the duality of the plot, we got two games where one would normally be. This leaves one remaining game to fill the 5 game generation outline. An Emerald remake, rather than remakes of Ruby and Sapphire, could resolve this issue quite nicely, although there's not much stopping them from doing RS remakes because that's one extra game that people would pay for. I may just be thinking along these lines because Emerald is my favorite Pokemon game, but a guy can dream.

 

I apologize if anyone got offended by all that preceding text, and admittedly right now I'm just stalling so I can get a post over 5000 characters, which happened during this sentence. Peace out

[Envy 6,168]

Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald were my least favorite mainline Pokemon games by an wide margin. So I'm not holding out for them. Although naturally many of their flaws would be fixed. It would be weird for them to release them without the day/night cycle, for example.

 

Still not that enthusiastic, though. I'd rather them just skip over them or save them for later. I want to see what Generation VI will look like on the 3DS, that's all I want.

[Radiance64 7,053]

I too want to see R/S remakes, but then again I'm not sure how necessary they are, since it is possible to get 99% of the Pokemon that populate those games in current Pokemon games, with the only exception I can think of being the Regi trio.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

So, I am wondering why GameFreak hasn't made a remake of my favorite pokemon game: Emerald. Really? the Kanto region gets 3 remakes if you count Pokemon Yellow and the Kanto region from the Johto games. Johto gets a remake in Heart Gold and Soul Silver, Sinnoh gets a remake in Platinum, and the new region gets a remake in Black 2 and White 2. So I was wondering, would anypony like to see a remake of the Hoenn region which was my favorite? If so, what were your favorite things about Hoenn (pokemon, gyms, layout, etc.)?

 

Pokemon Emerald!! That had to be my favorite pokemon game!! Alongside with Gold/Silver/Yellow.... I hope to god they make a remake of Emerald soon!!
