@Smoked: Gamefreak has always followed that pattern on Nintendo portables. Main game, enhancement and remake. Remake only when there was a jump in technology in the portables, because GB to GBC was actually the same HW, but going from GBC to GBA, the hardware was totally different.
GB: Pokemon Blue/Red/Green (Green is Japan only) ---> Pokemon Yellow.
GBC: Pokemon Gold/Silver ---> Pokemon Crystal.
GBA (New Hardware Tech): Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire ---> Pokemon Red/Green remakes ---> Pokemon Emerald.
NDS (New HW Tech): Pokemon Diamond/Pearl ---> Pokemon Platinum ---> Pokemon Gold/Silver remakes.
NDS2 (?): Pokemon Uranium/Plutonium (lol) ---> Pokemon Titanium ---> Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire remakes.
And I still believe the Wii is due in for a serious Pokemon game, not garbage like Battle Revolution which was a failure for most fans. May sound like a wet dream, but it's possible it may happen.
