RE: (1) GS REMAKE COMING!! [5/2]
Water Pokémon Master said:
The Pokemon Sunday crew said it's a video game, so no, it's not really "speculation," "if," or "assumed" at this point. Unless they are releasing a game having to do with gold and silver balls, it's likely a GS remake. Hence the starters in the 12th movie, the lack of GS Pokemon in recent TCG sets, etc.
The fact that it's a video game could be info about a fifth generation for all we know, especially since we're very overdue for info about the next generation, should we assume Pokemon to continue the trend they make for announcing future Pokemon generations.
The significance of the Gold and Silver balls could have little to do with Gold and Silver. The two colors are not exclusively used together to represent the Johto series of Pokemon games and would be fairly common in use together, even as something celebratory.
The starters being in the 12th movie has about as much significance as the Regis being in the 8th movie.
A lack of 2nd generation Pokemon in recent sets also means hardly anything, unless we're going to see another set along the lines of Unseen Forces whose significance to the games as far as a 2nd generation remake goes was nothing.
Any points involving the deal with the Rage Candy Bars, Jasmine being in D/P or otherwise is also insignificant. I could have replaced those Rage Candy Bars with something like "TM11: Bubblebeam" or replaced Jasmine with Juan from Hoenn and you all would have passed it on as nothing more than a cameo, which is all they should be taken for. The fact that either of those are seen in a new game is not basis for a new game where those characters or items originated.
I'm not trying to tell you all that the announcement isn't a G/S Remake game in the slightest bit, by the way. I'm just sitting here and telling you exactly what your "clues" amount to in a broad perspective, just in case this game is not a G/S remake. I'm also hoping for a G/S remake, as I would greatly enjoy it, but I'm just being a Devil's Advocate here as it seems we've only got a handful on the site if that.
