You forget that Wurmple is also available on route 101. And if RS remakes are going to be a part of Gen V, its redundant to have Pokemon from the same Gen which are easily obtainable by direct trading to be available instead of the ones from older Gens which are harder to get.

That 1% for Patrat which is so commone in Unova could instead be given to something like Rattata or Sentret.

I am not saying that it will/will not happen, but it's a suggestion

The Lake Trio are stated by the game directly to have control over only 1 of the Dragon Duo whereas Rayquaza's mere presence immediately stops Groudon and Kyogre's fighting either out of respect or fear of Rayqauza.

Simple coincidences, dear CapsFan.
I would be very suprised if they didn't announce the remakes in time for R/S' 10th anniversary.

I know, I was simply making a point :P

My sentiments exactly.

We should get back on topic of discussion of remakes, instead of debating whether they would insert Unova Pokémon into the game...

So... what are people's ideas for the next PokeGagdet? FR/LG had a wireless adapter, HG/SS has a PokeWalker, and what about Hoenn? Personally I thought it would be extremely cool (and useful) to have a device that works like an external Box. It would be a homage to the little known game Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire. You could bring your Pokemon in your pocket and trade them with your friends between their "PokeBoxes". After filling X spaces, you would get a special Pokemon, for example Extremespeed Zigzagoon. The game would also have an option to bring your Pokemon back should you lost your device (PokeWalker style).

As for more general wants...
- expanded PokeDex (~250 mons)
- the original Battle Froniter untouched (does anyone remember the bet guy? he made it so much easier to farm BPs)
- emerald cloning glitch >:D lol, j/k, but one can dream...
- Steven as a champion
- May/Brendan as a main rival, and one that doesn't give up halfway
- speaking of Brendan - redesign him, and not May please. Give the dude his white hair dammit!
- keep the difficulty level reasonable! If I see even more doctors, straight routes, and Audinos I'm gonna cry ;_;
- made some other region legends available. One of the reasons I really liked HG/SS was the sheer amount of legendaries you could catch, and I would like for them to do the same for RSEmakes

That's all for now.

I say they follow the Ruby/Sapphire story more generally than Emerald's, but include most of the Emerald extras.

Except Battle Frontier. I'd rather have a new one because the original one in Emerald was so frustrating. I never won even one symbol out of the 14. At least I got two in Platinum.

I was actually upset that I couldn't do it in Johto. Someone could give you an Eevee post-game, or mid-game even if they change up the 'Dex a bit.
The typical places: Petalburg Woods and Shoal Cave. Or Fortree.

The moss rock could be on top of that waterfall outside fortree where the giant bush secret base was.

How about the ability to join team Magma(Sapphire) or Team Aqua (Ruby) as a major storyline after the elite 4. I guess a post-elite villain story after elite four was perhaps some of the best features of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokemon Black and White.

You mean as to be undercover and infiltrate them from the inside, or actually be in their teams?

Out of what we've all thrown around so far I hope to see:

The Battle Frontier
More post game activity
Some of the legendaries from other regions (Regigigas, Darkrai/Cresselia as version exclusives, Shaymin, etc)
^Just thought of it now, but I think Shaymin would fit in really well With Hoenn's tropical climate and all.
Walking pokemon
Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza available both versions
Would really like to see something done with Jirachi and Deoxys. We all remember the Space center and that white rock. Both of those are just begging to be used.

1. I think RocketGrunt means be on the team since he said Magma(Sapphire), you would be fighting against the villianous team of your version.

2. That reminded me of another feature i would like:
similar to how you (almost) infiltrated Team Rocket in HG/SS, you could do that in the remakes. Say, someone dropped a uniform outside on the jagged pass (in MagmaRuby) or outside the Seafloor Cavern (AquaSapphire) and you find it and change into it, but when you get to Maxie/Archie, he recognizes you from the Oceanic Museum and disrobes you like how Silver did

^Dropping a badge is one thing but a whole unifrom? Worst Grunt EVER!

Hopefully walking Pokémon would return, but with the option to not have them following you.

I can't see them allowing you to join Team Aqua/Magma, all though it would be cool..

That would be a real LOLZ!! Unless that grunt ran away while changing outside XD


Anyways, really, that Space Center and the White Rock needs to be accounted for being important for anything. Anything. Not just for battling Team Magma, but something about Jirachi or Deoxys...

It has the power to stop both, which doesn't preclude it from stopping only one of them. The fact that Rayquaza wields that power doesn't make the RS plot any less likely to be used.

but rather instead of them being semi-native to Hoenn, they could say the Pokémon were imported :P

The difference being? The pokemon are still found in the wild, which is not the case in RSE, so if you want to stay true to those remakes, the pre-E4 routes couldn't have those pokemon.

I see what you are saying, but anything is possible for GF, they could up and decide that Hoenn needs to be square and it would be possible xD

That's a cop-out -- Game Freak can do whatever the hell they want. Which doesn't invalidate any sort of speculation.

I agree with this -- it's not hard to replace one of the rocks or trees with a landmark. It'd come in handy later. Also, Magneton would evolve in New Mauville.

The only issue with that is that there's no grass there.

The rock in Sinnoh that has to do with Shaymin is also white. Maybe there's some correlation.

The only problem being that New Mauville is the only place you get Magnemite anyway. Then we would all be running around with level 32 Magnezones. I have no suggestions where it should really evolve, though.

EDIT: Actually you could have a level 27 Magnezone since some Magneton are available underleveled. The second you get Norman's badge, you would just surf on over here with a rare candy, and then BAM! One of the best pokemon in the game already!

The only thing that even makes a little sense would be for Magneton to evolve in the Abandoned Ship where the Scanner is after you get Dive. The explanation being that the scanner gives off some magnetic field. But that's even a stretch, so IDK.
