It's a totally different system in the same way GBA was different from GB.

(GB)A

Yes its like an updated DS system. Its still part of the DS family of systems, regardless.

Nintendo typically only uses "The DS family of systems" to refer to the original DS, DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL. They're the DS family. The 3DS is not considered to be part of the DS family, it's the successor to the DS family. It's now building up its own "family" with the release of the XL.

Just because they have similar names doesn't mean they're in the same family. They're as different as GameCube and N64.

Bolt The Cat, all you did was explain a few coincidence. You have yet to provide more evidence on Gen 6. But you're right? Haha. Nothing Wrong with keeping DS another year if they decided to do so.

 

[NachoMan]

They evolved the World of Pokemon when the Global Link went worldwide in 2011. That could mean anything. Haha.

Honestly I've been following the whole argument between the two of you and they've provided good arguments but you continue to ignore them and back up your opinion with little coincidences in the games. If I were them I wouldn't even try to explain my position to you anymore. Luckily this will all be over in a day.

Even though it has a similar name has the DS, it is not part of the DS family. This is because it is a next gen. gaming device that has it's own playable games that can only be played on that system(It's 8th gen. along with the Vita while the DS family is 7th gen. along with the PSP family). It's not a update, it's a completely new system.

Edit: Well I was ninja'd badly lol

Anyway, I could careless if it's 6th Gen. or RSE remakes, I'll still buy it. I guess I want 6th Gen. more because new pokemon trumphs all.

 

[NachoMan]

It seems as if you're rebutting only RSE remakes. You still failed to bring up points to Gen 6. I gave everyone 40 reasons that point to RSE remakes. And you didn't have something smart to say about all 40. Which means, that even you thought some of those were credible. Where's the rest of your argument?

You come from out of nowhere and say something to me like that? This isn't even really about tomorrow anymore. I'm staying that RSE remakes will come eventually. And of course, you join and attack my opinions.

And what if they do wait until after Gen 6 begins? By then, the DP remake crowd will start to form. And what's gonna happen then? They'll be two remake crowds to deal with. What's gonna happen then? Huh? How is Game Freak going to satisfy TWO whole different remake crowds that want two different games remade? Answer that, since there's an answer for everything.

---

Giving all those hints for the remakes doesn't mean they will happen now. I think it's safe to say nobody here disagrees they'll happen. It's just due to several circumstances (like handheld issue, latest real hints - as "pokémon evolving" and new eeveelution implied) they're rather unlikely to be Nintendo/GF's next big move.

Did I ever say those hints would happen now? No I didn't.

---

Maybe you should read those 40 reasons again. These all happened over time.

*wakes up*
*checks the Beach*
Bloody hell! 3 pages of not-so-polite arguing! Chill, people. For pity's sake, this is ridiculous. You're acting like kids.

 

[NachoMan]

@BTC, I agree with NachoMan. Hoenn is the only game that hasnt been remade for Ds family of systems. Of/c it needs a graphic update. The dragonite fossil is there because its part of the storyline (TP steals it).

Why would they remake it for the DS family when the DS family is dead? Why not just wait and do it for the 3DS after Gen VI, which would make it the most graphically updated remake as opposed to putting it in the same boat as HGSS right out of the gate? Are you also expecting them to remake DPPt next gen? That's a bit of a stretch.

Unless Game Freak comes out and says otherwise, remakes AREN'T going away at all. It would only be logical for someone to think that DP remakes will be out after Gen 6 begins.

---

What stretch?

Because in that case they should remake FireRed/LeafGreen since they're older than DP. The remakes do have to stop sometime.

 

[NachoMan]

Maybe they should. That was predicted some years ago.

 

[Mitja]

Shiet. 3 new pages? xD


Ill say this:

If there was equally solid/fishy evidence/hints/whatever for gen VI as for RS-remakes (I don't think for a second there is before someone thinks otherwise),
the former is way ahead, simply due to a new gen going hand-in-hand with a new handheld.
Which is why I usually want to boil it down to the question of DS being a dead system.

 

[D.N.A]

Name wise, I'm thinking it'll be either:

Alpha and Omega

or

Mars and Venus

They already confirmed that they were going continue supporting the DS, so there is at least a slight chance that there maybe another DS game before Gen 5 ends.

And I don't see what you mean by fishy evidence?? I gave several valid NON-FISHY points as to why there would be RSE remakes.

@Everyone

Please continue to discuss your opinions, but bring the attitude and negativity towards each other down a notch, we don't have time for that.
----------------------

As for my opinion, I'm probably going to get bashed for saying this, but I don't think that GameFreak owes anyone any sort of remake. R/S/E? MAYBE. But as someone hinted at earlier in this thread, a R/S remake would essentially put the anime at a standstill unless they planned on releasing a remake and a new generation at once, which is extremely debatable and something we can probably all agree isn't going to be happening. Everybody is just so heated on the topic, demanding remakes left and right, but they are beginning to get to a point where remakes aren't going to be needed for a long while. Especially when they complete R/S and D/P is up for discussion. Personally, I smell generation 6 comin' round the bend.

Not really, if fans still want them and they still sell there is no reason to stop. Money is money. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they remake Red and Green again for the 20th anniversary or something.

Also you could argue that R/G and R/S need to be remade because of the physical/special split. Obviously they don't need to, but you could argue that since that was the last huge change to the mechanics in the game.

How is it that there is no need for remakes????

I agree with this. They can remake anytime for any reason. People loves remakes. And people act like they don't like them at all. So much hatred towards RSE remakes. It's ridiculous!!!

I don't get it.

But where do you draw the line? They do have to stop, really. Otherwise you're going to end up with Gen 5 consisting of BW, BW2, RSE remakes, and FRLG remakes; Gen 6 being whatever/whatever, DP remakes, and HGSS remakes; Gen 7 being BW remakes, BW2 remakes, RSE remake remakes, FRLG remake remakes. It just keeps getting bigger exponentially. They do have to decide when is enough.

 

[NachoMan]

Nothing wrong with that. The World of Pokemon will continue to grow. They don't have to draw a line.

 

[jynxed]

There is something wrong with that, though, you see. In this situation, Gen 7 would end up taking 5-6 years to complete. So each gen would get longer and longer until you end up with a never-ending generation. Hopefully Gen 6 will be the last in terms of new Pokémon so they can avoid this situation altogether.
