Just read through this article inspired by the things that Pokemon X and Y did well. Thoughts? I typed this awhile ago, but it's my explanation on why they won't remake them in my opinion. [quote]I got what you meant, but it's still impossible, the reason why is because of what defines a remake. Say we remake a game from 1990 again, give it a whole new engine, graphics game-play, but it's still that beloved 1990 classic. It gets remade in 2008, and it's nearly a whole new game. It then comes out, a new generation of people enjoy it and maybe Veterans as well, and it's done. The game has been remade once and there is no point to doing it again. A remake is only a remake if it's done once and expands on the original. Remaking a remake is, for lack of a better description at this time for me, near pointless. You wouldn't spend thousands upon thousands upon a game or movie, remake it, then do it again in another ten years. The point of the remake was to leave a good taste in the audience's mouth that it is now perfect and untouchable. If they remake Gen 3 in this case, then what's to stop them from remaking Gens 4 and 5, possibly even 6 down the road? You do a remake if the first iteration failed, you shouldn't do a remake every few years just because you feel like it, that won't make money. And that's why you do it right the first or second time and finish. I don't think Gen 3 was a failure, I remember it because Ruby and Sapphire came out as I was in Elementary school exactly on my birthday, they were fun to me. But remaking again and again will not sell, and they hit that limit after the 2nd Gen when technology became great enough for them to do what they needed to. It isn't outdated or bad enough to warrant a remake, and if you want to play it again you can, and that's my thoughts on it.[/quote]
