I played and finished Y, so I am glad for another game to try! Y was the first video game I have ever finished. It's cool that there are still more to come!
Nice! I think it was a foregone conclusion - the DSi couldn't play GBA games, the 3DS can't play GBA games, so new players can't go to Hoenn unless there's a 3DS remake.
(Which, I guess, means that gen 7 could have, uh, Explosion Red / Kudzu Green, since DPPt are still playable on the 3DS? Though Kanto is accessible in HG/SS, so maybe not?)
I've never been more excited for this year until now.
I love Hoenn so much I'm glad it's coming back. Only problem now is which version to get... too bad they didn't just remake Emerald then that problem would be solved.
Well, they didn't remake Yellow (or Blue!) or Crystal, so that's not a surprise. (Besides, they had X2 and Y2 - I don't see them turning down the opportunity to get people to buy two games rather than just one!)
The big part that made Yellow cool, Pikachu following behind you, was added into HG/SS. And the extra arch around Suicune and Eugene was a part of HG/SS as well, which was a big part of Crystal the first time around. So, while they did not have their own stand alone remake, the elements that made Yellow and Crystal special did go into the game. I expect a simialr with OR/AS, parts of Emerald will be in them
Does this mean more Diving? I hope this means more Diving! Black and White were rather disappointing in that regard; I mean, sure, it was possible to Dive, but there weren't any Pokemon to catch (that I'm aware of), and only the one place to really explore.
I hope the characters will be more developed this time. Hoenn's the only region where I've never had actual feels about the plot. And I hope they bring back walking Pokemon, too.

I am sad to say I've never played the third gen games. So happy to have the chance to put that right.

(And maybe Industrial Diamond / Farmed Pearl, or something, haha.)

I'm still excited though for this remake! Hoenn has a pretty special place in my heart.
