Wow, lots of love for this idea. Clearly I'm the odd one out. All pokemon games are basically rereleases of the previous ones to a certain degree. Granted for the DS the updated the graphics system for the world quite a bit but the gameplay hasn't changed. Mostly it is just a spreadsheet and texture pallet swap for each new game.
Granted they change the stories and such, but really who plays Pokemon for the story.
All that said, I enjoy the pokemon games and have three or four different ones (Blue, Emerald, Diamond, and maybe another), but I don't see the point of being worked up on a remake for this type of game.
