Is there any point in a Ruby / Sapphire remake?

[SaintJimmyRowe]

Is there any point in remaking Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire versions? Personally, I think not. Why? Number 1, as far as I know all Hoenn Pokémon (minus the event Jirachi and Deoxys) can be caught in D/P/Pt/HG/SS. Number 2, if Ruby and Sapphire were to be remade in around 2012 then that means that the 6th generation will start in or around 2014 and we'd have a Diamond and Pearl remake in 2016. Finally, Number 3, Hoenn was actually my least favourite region to play. If they did re-make it I'm pretty sure I'd buy it, but, I don't see the need for it. What do you guys think?

In my opinion, I say go for it. Hoenn was personally my favourite, and so were R/S/E. But having a game with upgraded graphics and sound, not to mention the fact that I can play it on my DSi (because I don't have an SP), It'd be pretty wicked

Although there could be some downsides to it, I think it's great that they're remaking it~

Uh, I think that there is a possibility that they will make a remake as the 3DS only does DS games and not GBA games, but whether or not I would get it? Yes, I would because Emerald was my first game and I allways wanted a R/S/E game that didn't run out of memory every time I played it. I also would like it for the Hoenn region, not just the specific pokemon.

I agree that they may make it for the 3DS. I think It'd be pretty cool and I'd buy it for sure. Plus, I think it may be full of surprises and some new ideas.

Watching a Rayquaza cut scene in a 3DS remake would be pretty awesome!

That's like saying there's no point in making FireRed and LeafGreen. I will admit anniversary games are a harsh but cleaver routine that GameFreak created to get us to buy more pokemon but it works. Also I do like that I'm allowed to enjoy the functionality of current gen games with updated graphics/sounds/ideas along with the ability to catch all the pokemon I missed out on. My main team consists of Pokemon from GEN I to IV and I was able to get them all in Heart/Gold.

I think there might have been some trouble with GF and their release of Heart/Gold and Soul/Silver's release save that DS Sales are higher than any terminal Nintendo has made and that's probably why it contains a lot of pokemon you can catch from from just outside of the second gen.

id buy it cus its pokemon im a big pokemon dork and i buy any thing pokemon i hope the graphics are better than black and white cus when the pokemon move in black and white they look all pixely im not sure weather thats cus ive got a DSIxl or not

[Monty]

Yeah it doesn't matter. I have a 3DS and it's fail sauce what they did to the player side and his/her pokemon. It looks like dotted up soup when pokemon are shown up close.

And it's sad to say you'll buy anything pokemon. I recently got back into the games because I like them but just any pokemon memorabilia?

I'll admit it depends on the content in the anniversary games. It's the reason why I prefer the 4th Gen anniversary games (HG/SS) rather than Diamond, Pearl, and/or Platinum.

Here is a reliable pattern that is known and refutable:
-Paired Version: RedGreen(Blue), GoldSilver, RubySapphire, DiamondPearl, BlackWhite
-Third Version: Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum
-GenRemake: FireRed LeafGreen, HeartGold SoulSilver

Logically, Grey and ___Ruby/___Sapphire are next in line. The purpose for releasing these anniversary remakes is to make older generations accessible for newer/younger fans as well as remastering classics for older fans. The third gen pokemon availability in DPPtHGSS is irrelevant. As GameFreak is notorious for sticking to formula (be it gameplay or game releases), I doubt they will deviate from this lucrative pattern.

I was thinking about that after ss and hg came out.They should make it for ds lite and 3ds because som people prefer ds lite instead (how else would i migrate)

[Lelouch vi Britannia]

I think there only going to make remakes for game from gameboy and gameboy sp cause you can't play those games on dsi or 3ds and I hope they make fire red, leaf green and ruby,sapphire,emerald remakes cause I love those games.

[pokemonfanyassin]

you have right hes come end of mei

[TheManyFacesOfGlalie]

I personally loved the Hoenn region and I thought Ruby and Sapphire had one of the best plots of the series. And if they did remake them, they'd probably include the original battle frontier which was my favourite part of Emerald

[Exflar]

I couldn't agree more. Additionally, pokemon "remake" games have always been released on the 10th anniversary of the originals.
Gold and Silver 2000 ==> HeartGold SoulSilver 2010 etc

[Gin_Neko]

Hoenn was beast it's wear I got my first pokemon,my Sceptile and if it was awesome then imagine it now cuz they turned I game like Gold and Silver into an epic game if amazing graphics. They should make it
