Pokemon RS remakes hinted at by GameFreak, more to be unveiled Friday

First off, damn you April Fools day for making a legit announcement something people unnecessarily doubt.

Moving on:

It's been approximately ten years since the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire versions in the States and fans were reinvigorated with the monster catching frenzy on Nintendo's GameBoy Advance. Even since the first and second generation of Pokémon games were remade in the forms of FireRed and LeafGreen versions and HeartGold and SoulSilver versions. This news seems to be have overlooked due to their official announcement today, on April Fools day.

The wait, it seems, has come to an end thanks to official word from GameFreak:

                "We recently showed you Pokémon X and Y versions at a Nintendo Direct and we excited at the great responses to our upcoming Nintendo 3DS games. Today we're here to tell you there's even more coming from the Pokémon world and to tune back this Friday!"

GameFreak then left this pic today on their official website and via their Twitter account (@pokemon):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the picture and description offered nothing specific or worth hinting at, a reliable Serebii source went and found this picture:

This source has been correct on numerous occasions, including the Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pokémon Black and White, and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 versions announcements. This picture seems to have all the correct dimensions and displays of a typical 3DS game case and of course has a signature Groudon to represent Pokémon Ruby's main cover Pokémon.

This news also coincides with GameFreak's April International Challenge that features the three Hoenn starters on the promotional Japanese display (Serebii has more information on this below):

I am going to assume this is legitimate, and... Why would Game Freak be working on two separate mainline Pokemon releases, considering X and Y are already being worked on right now?

EDIT: F*ck off Blab

LOL

That was very convincing cause there have been legit Game related News like this during April Fools day.

Bravo.

Serebii is awesome at gauging all this stuff.

I'll just say its definitely a lie.

Hooray more f*cking Pokemon remakes on top of the more f*cking Pokemon. jg4xchamp

Disregarding April fools, I think remaking it wouldn't be very useful. The game already looks amazing, and they're undoubtedly going to remake it all in 3D and it will end up looking  worse. The only benefit is the new pokemon, moves being attack/special based on move not type, etc.

I won't get it though because Ruby/Sapphire looks amazing in its 2D form.

I fell for it only because I want it to happen so badly. :cry:

Not even a good joke because no one wants those terrible games to be remade.

I absolutely loved the tree city and the route right before it, and that town that was built on the water. Also the psychic double battle gym's island felt really unique. Hoenn in general was awesome.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="cain006"]Hoenn was my favorite region in terms of asthetics, but there's not many pokemon that I liked from it. Salamence, Slaking, Metagross, and Blaziken are the only really cool non legendaries I can think of.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Flygon, Kecleon, Manetric, Mighteyena, Sableye, Dusclops, and Altaria were all pretty cool too.charizard1605

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="cain006"]Flygon's okay and I didn't like Manetric. Kinda related, I love Zebstrika. Mighteyena felt like it should've evolved again. Sableye felt like it should evolve too, Dusclops is cool, and I think Altaria's lame.
