Hints at a GSC remake (Mostly copied from GFAX)

Quote :

Got most of the info from these videos (not by me):

1: It may not mean much, but many features only available in Gold/Silver/Crystal make a return in Diamond/Pearl, such as time and day/night, a variation of the PokeGear, the PokeWatch, and time-exclusive Pokemon

2: In the very begginning of D/P, your character and rival are watching a show about a Red Gyarados found in a lake. Your characters then go hunting for one. In Gold/Silver/Crystal, you find a Red Gyarados in Lake of Rage, which is, by the way, catchable.

3: The "Secret Potion" item you get from Cynthia in D/P is mention that comes from Cinnawood City. If memory serves right, you also get this item at some point in Gold/Silver/Crystal

4: The guy that gives you the Hapinny egg in D/P mentions that Professor Elm was the one who studies and announced Pokemon eggs. He is main professor and the eggs are a part of the storyline in Gold/Silver/Crystal.

5: Jasmine makes a cameo in D/P. She is a gym leader in the Johto region, the main region of GSC. She also vaguely mentions Hearthrome City, which is very similar to Sunnyshore City, the place where she is found.

6: There is a guy in one of the houses near Lake Valour randomly talks about sites in Johto, such as the Tin Tower, the Whirlwind Islands, the Radio Tower (I think), and some more.

7: There is a rumor that some guy hacked Pokemon Battle Revolution and there is a location data that says that a pokemon was obtained in Johto when you trade it to D/P.

8: During the Shaymin event, before you battle Shaymin, Professor Oak mentions that a similar white rock has appeared in Kanto. In Pokemon Fire Red/ Leaf Green, there is no such rock. In Pokemon GSC, you can travel around Kanto after defeating the Elite 4 once. (This could also count as a 3rd Shaymin form rumor)

9: Bebe, Shinou's Pokemon Storage System administrator, mentions Bill as her friend from another region. In Pokemon Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Bill was the admin for Johto and Kanto. It is also worth to mention that Bebe gives you an Eevee, much like Bill gives an Eevee in R, B, G ,S, and C.

10: There were some songs from G/S/C featured in Fire Red/ Leaf Green. In Ruby/Sapphire, some more songs were discovered (Don't know if they're legit):

11: Speaking of references in older games, in Fire Red/Leaf Green, while revisiting Fuchaia City after beating the Elite 4, you can find a young girl behind the Chansey display (I believe) who claims that she is Koga's (the city's gym leader) daughter and that someday she wishes to become a gym leader. In G/S/C, Janine, Koga's daughter, becomes a Fuchaia City's gym leader after Koga becomes an Elite 4.

12: Since the DSi doesn't have a GBA slot anymore, there is now no way to obtain all Pokemon by normal means. And since it is most likely that Nintendo will market the DSi as their main handheld system, a new Pokemon version has to be made to fill the gap. It would be ideal to remake Gold/Silver so that catching Ho'oh, Lugia, and the 3 Legendary dogs will make some sense.

My own things to add - A rocket at the warehouse in FR/LG pretty much said that Silver is Giovanni's son.

Also, all these references happening in the newer games is kewl, especially since in R/S they seemed to try to avoid Johto in its entirety

Also, #12 is so far the *ONLY* time I can see the word DSi in a sentence and not frown







WEWT, REMAKE OF THE BEST GENERATION EVARRR

You're thinking about this too hard. None of this hints to a sequel. They're just nice little cameos and stuff..

Then why were they added in, after RSE tried so hard to eliminate the existence of Johto? Hell, Emerald actually REMOVED the only hint about Johto that R/S had.

Why else would they have "Johto" as a listable "Captured At" location, right in between Kanto and Hoenn?

Pokedex information. You can get Pokemon from Johto through illegal means and the crappy GC games.

No, then it says obtained in Orre or whatever, or Met In A Fateful Encounter

Johto is an UNUSED placeholder, that no legally obtained pokemon comes from

i don't think that really indicates a remake

Well screw you, the BEST generation DESERVES a remake, and now with the DSi sadly coming out, they will need a new way to get pokemon

they may as well make a wii remake
it would nice to revisit the old locqations in 3d

Unless my DS can emulate the Wii, I do not much care for that idea
