They are remakes of what was probably the worst pokemon game generation

lol Millions of people disagree, and besides the competitive scene does not suck at all despite GF can do a better job with the campaign mode

Probably because it's coming only a year after X / Y, which was a big jump forward.

It's my 3rd most anticipated game though, can't wait.

Do they really need to hype Pokemon games? Pokemon has the same kind of fans that you see with FIFA and Madden. They know the next yearly release is coming and they'll buy it. They could do an X/Y remake and it would still sell 5 million copies. Yearly release franchises don't really need hype beyond announcing the release date.

There's hype for the game, but new generations always get alot more. 6th most due to the leap and all the extra feats/mechanics (mega evolutions/fairy type/etc). These are remakes, but ironically the best pokemon games come from remakes. HG/SS overall is said to be the best due to the overall content.

These will give us a huge jump in graphics and i like the fact that new mega evolutions are being presented so it keeps the games fresh and considers other players to buy for that reason alone. (i think we have 8 confirmed if latios/latias count!)

Edit:If i didnt mke it clear, i never disagreed with you! o.O

This makes alot of sense. I think OP is comparing the XY hype, which are both completely different situations. XY = New Gen ad the jump into 3D (finally). OR/AS is remakes so we know 80-90% of the game already. We get it in 3D and they are adding More Mega evolutions. 

So when a game is released as a GOTY edition with all of the expansion packs included, and sometimes even extra, exclusive content (like the third pokemon iteration) is there something wrong with that? That is all it is. The third version of Pokemon is vastly more different from the first two versions than say, Skyrim Legendary edition is from Skyrim vanilla + Dragonborn + Dawngaurd + Hearthfire. 

Three main reasons I can think of. It's a remake so we kinda have a bearing of what to expect, it's only been about a year since the release of X/Y, and the game is coming out in November, when a bunch of other notable games are coming out, Smash for 3DS being the main culprit. I certainly can't wait to get this game, but my excitement for it is no where near the excitement I had for X/Y, nor the games coming out Q4 of this year.

Alright, some good responses. No anomalies, though.

Anyway, we still haven't had anyone compare the level of hype of OR/AS to HG/SS. That's what I'd really like to see.

It's still months away. I'm certain it wil get hyped like crazy closer to launch. 10m easy.
