Pokemon Red and Blue had Remakes with Pokemon Leaf Geen and Pokemon Fire red... Now we see that Pokemon Gold and Silver is going to be remade With Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Will Ruby and Sapphire be in 4-5 years.? 

What do you guys think.?

When Ruby/Sapphire have ten years old then, is remake time.

What would be the point? The mechanics are up-to-date and the graphics are 'good enough'. No, I'd rather they spent their efforts on something new. If the next Pokémon game has eight gyms, a rival and an Elite Four, I'm not buying it. I don't reward stagnation.

Maybe next generation. These remakes have proven to be highly profitable for Nintendo, so it hardly makes sense not to remake them. But not yet.

not yet, it's still very playable. just restarted and beat it again this week =/

A mod should lock this thread. You shouldn't use PKMN, use Pokemon to avoid the confusion above.

no thanks Ruby Saphire were the worst pokemon games & I can say they got 70% of my friends out of pokemon

Gold/Silver = best ones

I'm buying a ds just for them

 Tradition =/= Stagnation.

That's like saying if the next Metroid has a morph ball, missiles, and Ridley, I'm not buying it.

OK, it would be fine if they kept just that and changed everything else. But those three are just the worst. They keep ALL of these:

- Start in small village with "mom", second small village after first doesn't have a gym, third does*
- Resident Pokémon professor gives you and rival a Pokédex
- Have to travel back to first village after visiting second
- Pidgey-alike and Rattata-alike in every game on the first route
- Numbered routes and towns with grass
- HMs, and requiring you to get Fly to fly and Surf to surf. No exceptions.
- Evil Team, with grunts, "admins" and a boss you fight several time
- 2D Cartoony look, below hardware capability
- Legendary Pokémon you fight towards the end of the game, and represent e.g. gods, time, space, etc.
- Trading only opens up after about halfway through the game
- Cave and Forest locations are the same in every game.
- Victory Road is the same in every game.
- "Closed" gym that opens up after Event X in game.

Alone, these things would be OK! But with all together in every game, and the fact that the battle system and screen layout doesn't change at all, means that it IS stagnant. Even CoD or FF, the definitions of sequel overload, change the whole game mechanic in each installment.

I was wondering this too but for some reason I can't see it.

Remaking R/B/G/S makes sense because there's a significant difference between the 1st/2nd gen and the 3rd/4th. But there really isn’t a huge difference between the 3rd/4th generation. Even if the 5th generation is vastly different from the 4th (just like R/S was to G/S) I don't see why they'd remake R/S over say the older R/B titles. And I really can't see them remaking R/B again neither. I think they might change tactic with the 5th generation and start setting the games in the older regions but with a new story rather than a remake. Just a theory. Either that or produce 2 original titles in 1 generation – but again I’m not convinced they’d do that neither. They might even pull something completely different out of the bag that nobody is expecting. I’m really not sure which way they’re going to head with this. Maybe when we have an idea what form the 5th generation will take it’ll be easier to guess what’s going to happen next.
