No! Game Freak will not remake Sapphire and Ruby. The DS is backward compatible with the GBA. Therefore any gamer that wants to play those games can find them second hand and import their Pokemon into Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold or SoulSilver.
Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow and Pokemon Gold, Silver, Crystal were all remade because none of those pokemon could be imported into Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald. This led to a lot of gamers not being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor and some Pokemon Fanatics stoped playing. Also the development of a new pokemon game that's going to be released in the Fall ensures that a remake of Ruby and Sapphire are not in the works.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
