I love Gen 1, and the original games.
But FireRed and LeafGreen taught me something.

Adding one new area does not make it more interesting. Playing FireRed was soul crushingly boring. Where R/S's flaws were only made apparent after the fact, the Gen 1 games were just shot for shot remakes with one new area to provide Johto Pokemon, and it suffered because of it.

If they remake Gen 1 again, they're seriously gonna have to spice things up a bit. Make all 7 of the Sevii islands playable and make that quest last longer than an hours worth of play, add the removed Oak battle, anything.

And Gen 3 is much of the same. If they remake R/S, they better do something more than just literally update the graphics and ship the cartridges out.

Well they can make those islands outside the map explorable, that would be sweet.

Well of course! They didn't do it for Johto so they probably won't do it to the others either. Hell with all of these mini games now we could do the Orange Island challenges now too

As long as they're interesting and fun.
And they revise Team Magma and Aqua's plans so they don't seem so stupid...

Anyway, I need Pokemon Bank. My PC is getting full really quick...

Well then, that just strengthens my argument.

So then let's think of some ideas. What could they add? Maybe access to other regions? Places that were in the cartoon, but not in the games?

They could try doing another modern Pokemon Yellow that follows the story of the anime more closely.

I don't think it'll work, unless they extremely water down the 2nd region like Kanto in Gen 2.
Not helped in that Hoenn is a separate island.

I'd be down for places like in the cartoon. Also a revamped Contest system. It doesn't have to be the same as in the cartoon, but something that isn't dull as hell...Make contests a full fledged minigame rather than select a move and pray that you somehow get a good rating.

That could be interesting.
They could have it so that, once beating the Champion, you'll be challenged by a starting trainer from the newest region and, despite having a better team, you still end up losing. :p

Given how much X/Y References Gen 1…I really do think they'll probably make another modern Kanto remake somewhere down this console's lifespan.

They could just have boats, and why do you not think that it would work? Do you think that they could not fit it all on the one cartridge?

I'm expecting that.
