Who says they have to be remakes?
Face it. Ruby/Sapphire are the beginning of the PKMN series in both story and gameplay. Your Pokémon from those games live on through to the current era while any prior to those games do not. They were a reboot of the series their colors are even Red/Blue/Green! Sooo ya know what? It'd be boring ta go back in time.
Hoenn needs an X-years later like Kanto got except not nearly as sucky. They can keep the map/towns/stuff relatively the same to keep costs down (ignoring the fact that they'd be making these on a system 2 or 3 generations from the original and as such assets really couldn't be re-used) while changing just enough to make the region seem like its taking place some time later. Do something with New Mauville, have the sunken ship actually be sunken so Dive is needed to reach it to begin with, and stuff. Neo Aqua & Neo Magma is a no brainer. Some new guy would lead Aqua while Maxie (cause he seemed like more of a dick) would have control of Magma again. Have the occasional team-up battles with an older Wally/Archie/Gym-Elite throughout the story. Maybe through May & Brendan deep into Meteor Falls Red-style. Is it corny? Generic? Unoriginal? Yes but hey thats what remakes are in the first place! Giving us something abit new ta chew on would be pretty sweet. And in general Hoenn/Gen3 needs a shot at redemption in the eyes of many haters! |

the saddest part is, most likely ppl will never experience the sort of emotional attachment to anime/games like talon mentioned anytime soon, if ever ):

That many people don't like the games/region is why they need an upgrade like this. Straight remakes won't win anyone over. Groudons drought could've dried up parts of the much hated (not by me!) sea routes giving ya a small sandbar to run across (like Unova Route 13). Kygores storm could've flooded Dewford Town making it have to move ontop of the Granite Cave hill/mountaintop (Cinnabar Island mkII basically). Using progress and the legendaries activitys in the past as excuses ta change things people didn't like and give the games a second chance.

TOO SLOW! LOL

I think Hoenn was by far my favorite continent, so a remake/re-imagining would be excellent in my eyes. That said, I highly doubt Game Freak will just bust out a new and improved version that isn't a direct remake. They've set no such precedent before.

Honestly, I quite liked Hoenn myself, and it'd be cool to have a remake. Like Talon, I'm one of the few who places it as second, but, also like Talon, I find that there we a BIT too many complicated towns and cities. Although the IDEA of Groudon and Kyogre effecting the cities is really cool, I'm honestly just excited about the idea of flat-out remakes like FR/LG, HG/SS.
