trestres said: @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. |
Gold and Silver were GBC enchanced, both could be played on the GB and GBC.
Game Freak's Junichi Masudo as said time and time again that the trading aspect of Pokemon has made the series best suited for handhelds so don't be expecting anything beyond a Battle Revolution sequel. Also Battle Revolution is still being played by fans for Wi-Fi Battles and it's hard to call a title that has sold 1.38 million units a failure.
Also PokemonTopaz.com has a redirect to Nintendo.com so the fifth generation may very well be Opal/Topaz.
Pixel Art can be fun.
