You say there's no story to tell, but Gold and Silver's Kanto HAS no story. It's a hollow afterthought of a region that people just fawn over because of the novelty of two regions being in one game.

Hollow story or not*, Gold/Silver still is a sequel to Red/Green just as much as B2/W2 were. That one exists is all I was saying. A simple response, not meant to say you had no merit at all.

You didn't say set them after Gold/Silver, but after Red/Green. That's a different thing and I could actually get excited for that, since it would be all new.

*I would argue not, because we still know what eventually happened. The small details are missing, but we know where everyone ends up following the original games. So we'd be playing an entirely predictable game. I, for one, would not find playing just for the minutia to be particularly interesting. Plus I was thinking bigger picture with Team Rocket (since when it comes down to it, the game stories are all about the struggle with their given crime syndicates).
