Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Remakes

Undoubtedly the worst games in the series, Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire invite a lot of criticism from fans, and are seen as when the entire series began to go downhill. In retrospect, while it appears that this criticism is unwarranted- the core of modern Pokemon games exists on the foundation built by Ruby and Sapphire, after all, and a complete reboot was necessary if they wanted to change the very fundamentals of Pokemon, which Ru/Sa did- the question is, would anyone want a remake of Ruby and Sapphire in the spirit of FireRed/LeafGreen and HeartGold/SoulSilver? If so, do you think there is any possibility of Ruby and Sapphire being remade at all? If they are, what system will they be on? Will they be on the DS, or the 3DS? Will they be a part of the fifth gen, or will they kickstart the sixth gen? Will they be a part of the sixth gen?

Finally, what do you think would these games be called? TerraRuby and AquaSapphire?

Your should post it on the DS forums for better reception since SW usually focuses on sales and graphics...:(

However, I think it's rather doubtful that they will remake the games from top to bottom.:? Maybe if it's a side-mission to the region of Hoenn, that's a different story.:)

Probably not the best idea considering they are easily the weakest games in the series.MarthRingman

I don't believe it will get a remake though. Unlike FireRed & SoulSilver, the Ruby/Sapphire games don't have that big of a fanbase to support a remake. However if it happens, I'll play it.:)

I'm just waiting for the Diamond/Pearl remakes.Cherokee_Jack

Id really like a remake of them. They are the weakest entries, but that leaves a lot of room for improvement in the case a remake does happen. I really did like the games alot, especially the pokemon themselves.

So a remake is very possible, and so much could be improved upon with ease considering the headway pokemon has made with D/P/P and B/W.

[QUOTE="crippled_ram"] I've posted it there too :P But it's like I just said, the series has a pattern now: release a new game, follow it through with a remake. Wouldn't a remake of Ruby and Sapphire be in keeping with that pattern?crippled_ram

Thing is, the previous remake was greatly desired. I'm not sure if people really are pressuring Game Freak to make a remake of the 3rd generation of Pokemons. The remakes are fan service at their finest.:)

I didn't dislike them, I had fun. I wouldn't mind a remake, probably wouldn't get it but with some good additions I'd think about it.

[QUOTE="crippled_ram"] It's true, but the little kids will run out to go and buy in droves the 'new' Pokemon game. I know I would too, I think Ruby and Sapphire are the worst Pokemon games, but I still like them a lot.crippled_ram

I'd rather see a full on Pokemon game on the consoles first.:P Or maybe make the 6th generation of the console!!:o:P

How do we know this?

Ruby/Sapphire weren't bad games imo; I put a ton of hours into Sapphire. I would agree though, that they are probably the weakest in the series. I suspect that they'll be remade for 3DS.

How were Ruby and Sapphire the worse ones? The 3rd gen brought us natures, abilities, expanded IVs, double battles, contests, greatly improved graphics, etc. What did they do wrong?

[QUOTE="MarthRingman"][QUOTE="crippled_ram"] True, but they'd obviously sell- there's no question about that- plus the Pokemon series has a pattern by now. Every four years, release a new game, then go ahead and follow it through by the release of a remake of a game that's two generations old. This would only be sticking to the pattern.oldkingallant

How do we know this?

In Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, when you end the game, and go to the Sevii Isles, Bill talks about hooking up to Lanette in the Hoenn region who is only just completing her storage system, putting FireRed and LeafGreen squarely with Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, the games begin with the rampaging Red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage, go on to talk about disturbances at the Tin Tower and the Olivine Lighthouse, all of which are contemporaneous to the events in Gold and Silver.

General hints that litter Ruby and Sapphire prove that those games are happening at the same time as FireRed and LEafGreen. Similarly, Diamond and Pearl are known to be hapening at the same time as HeartGold and SoulSilver.

though they are the weakest in the series i still think there good. i dont think they need a remake.

I doubt Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald will be remade, seeing as they are on Gameboy Advance, and can be played by any individual with a proper DS.

They were made in the game gen as FireRed/LeafGreen, and as such don't need the remake that Red/Blue/Green and Gold/Silver/Crystal did.

Personally, I didn't think Sapphire was such a bad game, it's far better than Pearl/Diamond and Platinum. Far, FAR better.

Sure, I'd like to see a remake, just for the sake of the Pokémon company getting a chance to redeem themselves, since so many fans apparently hate the games.

Seeing as how the remakes of gold and silver were named "Heart"Gold and "Soul"Silver. I say the remakes of ruby and saphire will be called RubyDestiny and SaphireWill, makes sense right? Also the titles im presuming the games will be called, both have the same number of letters so i think it definitley fits the games.

I hope they pour some cement in some of those sea routes.OreoMilkshake

Which was one of the reasons why I hated the flooded Hoenn map. All those sea routes with their rips taking you to God knows where.

EDIT: Ah, the memories of Gold are coming back to me. I'm remembering some of the stuff that was taken out of RSE now.
