I really think some of those points are just clutching at straws, but there are a few interesting ones.
The most concrete indication is the “arrived from Johto” data in D/P showing GameFreak at least consider a new game in Johto. I don’t think it needs mentioning again but anyone who played D/P/Pt cannot have missed the large number of Johto references. Yes Kanto/Hoenn are also mentioned but not to the same extent as Johto. I also found it interesting how they made the references to Johto more poignant in Platinum than D/P. Fingers crossed for a remake.
