Then the other 2 legends being on the cover wouldnt be justified....
Besides, with BW/2, it seems to me like they started taking version differences to the next level. By making 2 Emeralds and calling them RS for the sake of it, is kinda completely the opposite. lol
Both mascots fight in both games, with Rayquaza actually being the star.. it feels utterly wrong.
Which is why a revamp or sequels of both+third seems way more like the option perfectionist gamefreak would choose. They care more about such details than the fans could ever give a damn.
But thats a topic for 2014 or smth.

Rayquaza wouldn't be the star, just that it would have significance in the storyline. It wouldn't purely be based on Emerald's, it'd be more like a combination of RS and Emerald.

Please no haha I'm sure no one here wants another disaster like Dragonball Evolution and The Last Airbender.
I think that it's surely gotta be something 6th gen-related if we consider all evidence and ignore personal preferences/wishes (I want gen III remakes as much as the next guy).
Personally, I'm guessing we'll either get a silhouette or an actual reveal for a new non-legendary Pokémon that'll be in the Genesect movie (think Donphan/Munchlax/Zoroark), or an announcement of the gen VI games - maybe even the two coupled. The fact that both Masuda and Morimoto are scheduled to make announcements coupled with the advertisement on the official website suggests that we're going to get the latter. Alternatively, Morimoto could reveal the new Pokémon to be featured in the movie on the 6th with Masuda following that up with an announcement of the new games on the 8th?
I'd be surprised if it's a gen VI legendary announcement, it seems odd to have both the curveball of a shiny gen V legendary as well as a new Pokémon both as the central movie focuses.

Well I've got my money on 3rd Gen remakes. Though it's still possible that it's a 6th Gen announcement. If the remakes come out on 3DS then it's considered a 6th Gen game,right? But new generations always start with the main games.

Despite being compatible with the Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket, Gold and Silver were full blown Game Boy Color titles. All they did with Crystal was take that feature away to push more hardware. It's not an example of a mid-generation jump.
I can't see them changing to a completely new handheld in the same generation, it will either go two ways:
A) Remake will be announced first for the Nintendo DS finishing Generation V
B) Remakes will be announced after the first Gen VI games have been released for the 3DS and will also be on the 3DS.
I doubt they would release another set of main games for the Nintendo DS when they have had the 3DS development kit for 3 years now therefore option B seems more plausible.

GSC were all GBC games. They had colors and could use the IR for trading/battling etc.
So yeah no that's not comparable.
But the more important fact is not even that they never did handheld change mid-generation, but that until BW2 they always released everything theyve planned BEFORE the new handheld came out, where they then started with a new generation.
In that case, BW2 was already THE new anomaly, and essentially you're saying they'd make it even worse instead of going back to what makes sense.

This is the main reason why I think it will be Gen 6 instead of RS remakes/sequels.

Gold and Silver were Game Boy games that were compatible with Game Boy Color.
Except that G/S had color too and the "jump" had no significance.ArchedThunder said:
The 3DS has different screen sizes and the difference between GB <=> GBC and DS <=> 3DS is very different. GB <=> GBC was more like DS <=> DSi while DS <=> 3DS is more like GBC <=> GBA <=> DS.
Yeah, and the boxes. Still, GS are ond GB cartridges.
Crystal actually says Game Boy color

ArchedThunder said:
Hmm, let's see...
GB vs. GBC:
-Color Added
-Same Screen Size
-Same Game Engine (sprite design, etc.)
-Same CPU
DS vs. 3DS:
-Bigger screens
-Faster Processor
-3D Graphics
-MANY new features for developers (augmented reality, etc.)
-Different cartridges
-Completely different game engine (they'd have to redo textures, sprites from scratch, which they didn't for GB vs. GBC)
Sorry, but Crystal jumping ship would be like saying BW were on a different console because they had Live Caster support (DSi). Sure, Crystal was an exclusive, but I know some video game authorities that group GB and GBC in the same console family, a la DS and DSi.
Cerebral logic and not just simplicity say hi.
Maybe all the conversation saying "They did it this way before, so they'll never do it any other way" is pointless. They always went 2 main series games, then 1 upgraded version. Until B/W. Who's to say they won't do anything unprecedented ever again? For all we know, it could be a Yellow remake for 3DS. There's no way to completely rule out anything, Gamefreak does what Gamefreak wants.
