People asking for a new Earthbound game barely a month after the creator of the series said it's not happening does not strike me as particularly "realistic."

The creator of the series said he wasn't working on it, not that it wasn't happening. There's a big difference.

Shigesato Itoi, the creator of the Mother series, doesn't work at Creatures Inc anymore, from what I can see.

Also, he didn't deny that an Earthbound game was in development, but that Mother 4 was in development. A lot of speculation is going around that it'll be a port of Earthbound to modern platforms (which would probably mean a remake).

He seemed to be involved in the process of bringing Earthbound/Mother 2 to the Wii U Virtual Console. Which, by the way, I doubt would have been a priority for Nintendo if they were planning some kind of remake of any of the titles in the series.

Again, "realistic" just isn't the right word here by a long shot.
