RE: (1) New Forme for Kyurem Officially Hinted At? [12/30]
Assuming they stick to the pattern... is 1 or 2 cases a pattern?
Agree with ericss here.
RS remakes (the same process that gave us FRLG and HGSS) would be the worst move possible. Literally any other main game idea would be better. Not to mention it wouldn't get remotely close to previous remake sales.

*facepalm* Not this crud again.
I don't know if anyone remembers, but back when D/P came out, talks of a Gold and Silver remakes started, though a lot of people didn't think they would makes them. The reason they came up with was because there was no need for them. But guess what, we got them anyway. Just because we "don't need it" or "it's redundant"(even though I don't get how it is, it's not like they're remaking a that came out on the DS. The GBA is old technology now, people need to start learning that) doesn't mean we won't get it.
Well you can hat on the 3rd Generation all you want, but I personally think it's the most amazing turd I've ever seen.
Ive been saying that there would be GS remakes through the whole gen IV until they were announced (there werent any proper game mechanic reasons for them, but especially towards the time they finally got announced, you could almost feel the hype on the internet with people wanting them. It was obvious they would sell as good if not better than any previous pokemon games even if there wasnt much new stuff put in.), yet I disagree that RS remakes are reasonable.
Some people have been tossing around "RSE remake" like it was GIVEN the second HGSS were announced.
The thing is,
RSE were more complete (story wise), and surely you noticed how RS only told the story partially, with Emerald being the one actually telling the full story.
So, already there, remaking RS without E would feel half assed.
There would be even less difference to the originals than there was in previous remakes, as beside the obvious updated graphics, most of the game mechanics remained the same (theres the physical/special split but thats about all), adding that Hoenn is not 2 regions huge so putting some new fancy locations in a few corners won't do it this time...
That said, RS remakes would be "the lame move", but I don't believe gamefreak are THAT desperate and uncreative. They can come up with better solutions that this.
Not saying I dont want to see the region and the pokes of RSE in a new game (I enjoyed the games more than GSC or DPPt),
Not saying they wont make one,
just I feel like its not a huge thinking step to come up with the following solution:
Imagine
a NEW game based in Hoenn.
Not 100% remakes.
Timeline same as BW (13 years after RSE/RBY 10 years after HGSS/DPPt), add tons of changes to the region caused by events of the past decade, change around gym leaders (replace a few by their kids etc you get the idea), a new generation stepping up as a reborn Team Magma/Aqua or a completely new green color themed instead with leaders being related to the old ones or whatever awesome they come up with, put the protagonists of RSE as master trainers you get to battle ala Red in GS, put more focus on the remaining legendaries, for example explore the mystery about the legendary golems a bit further (explain how they tie to Regigigas), get Jirachi an ingame event place for once (only event legend never to have one), add a subregion, make the frontier larger.
Tell me, wouldnt that have way more potential than plain remakes?
If you ask me, GF might have something even better to surprise us with than this.
Regarding Kyurem.
Its been obvious there will be some kind of upgrade for it in a third game since the beginning. Compared to Reshiram and Zekrom its handicapped in all ways. It has worse stats, its signature move is a joke (and theres 2 strong unused Ice moves), and even visually it looks weak, broken icy parts, with the tail (which are generator like on the duo) looking like plug instead.
In addition there is the story in BW about the dragons.
Apparently there was originally a single royal dragon. But with its 2 kings starting a fight, it divided into 2 seperate entities (resulting in the destruction of the region from the flames and thunder).
The plug-like tail on Kyurem makes me guess that Kyurem is actually the "corpse". What was left of the original dragon as the other 2 split from it.
