If Game Freak managed to fix D/P with Platinum, I can believe they'll do it again with their next game.

Blaziken -> Phoenix

Gardevoir -> Lumaril
Azumarill -> Pikablu
I remember this because I brought all those dudes with me up to Gen 5.

Because many fans will see it as an insult to the original game. If they overhaul all the sprite work and go with a 3D overworld, it's a drastic change to the game, when it's supposed to be a remake that honours its legacy.
FireRed and LeafGreen mostly had graphics improvements to the sprites, several minor elements were introduced (Gen 2, 3 (?) Pokémon, Pokémon EVs, etc.) but the game itself was mostly unchanged.

What? Pokemon is one of the ugliest sprite games out there, the best thing they did was going to 3D. The worst they did was trying to mix and match in Pokemon White.
An insult? Whaaaa? D:
I haven't seen that viewpoint at all on the internet. I mean, yeah, there are probably fans who think that, but they must be in the minority.
Most places I've been on discussing the possible remakes are excited to see it with the improved visuals brought by X/Y.
For me, I can't go back to gen 3/4 sprites.

This, maybe even let us customize Brendan and Mai.
Maybe I'm just crazy then, but I thought the sprite worlds in FR/LG, R/S/E and HG/SS were the best the series has ever looked.
I am not a fan of the 3D world, though the 3D battles are great.
I only truly love Gens 1-3 though, so that's probably why I feel this way.
There better be a wider selection than what they gave us in X/Y. Also give weekly free new outfit downloads as well as holiday special clothing.
May in a santa outfit. GOAT.

No, you're not, I also love Pokemon sprites. To me 2D sprites are always best, because if done right they age a lot better than 3D, but that is only my opinion. But I know that sprites are probably never coming back, so I am fine with 3D.
PT/HG/SS were especially beautiful. All those vibrant colors.
The GBA games always had a washed out look, but the 60fps was nice.

FR/LG were the best sprites. They were colorful, at a good perspective and respresented the series well. RSE had an odd perspective and some washed out colors. Also most non-RSE Pokemon just used slightly updated GS back sprites, which is kind of lazy. The 4th gen was a decent balance between 3D and sprites, but 5th looked so weird to me because of how much they tried to change perspective while still using sprites for characters.
I wouldn't mind Hoenn in 3D, but I don't think there are any good set pieces that would be impressive to see in 3D either, like X/Y have a lot of interesting areas only possible in 3D. At this point though, the game basically has to be in 3D.

The game will be in 3D because Gamefreak aren't going to bother developing a new game engine for any RS remakes.
Hoenn is a really creative and beautiful region, though, so I won't be complaining if we get graphical touchups everywhere.

Fortree City, Mt Pyre, Mossdeep City, Evergrande City with the waterfall, and Mt Chimney are just a few locations that will benefit immensely from a 3D perspective.
Whaa?
If they do remakes there is absolutely zero chance of them not being 3D like X and Y. Hopefully with an updated (smoother) engine.
Why would you move backwards in technology, especially when you've already built a new engine? Just improve the X&Y engine.
Only the characters in Gen 4 and 5 (and Gen 2 remakes) were sprites, the worlds were 3D.

Hahaha no way are you serious. I come back after more than 12hrs and we're still in that town and our team is weaker than before. What the hell happened (or didn't happen lol)
edit: Ok we at least got the first badge, thank helix
edit2: wow we really seem to have problems in this gen with storing/withdrawing pokemons on the PC

Not yet! Let's defeat Brendan first.

And the gen 3 games will be mostly unchanged, except in 3d and some other improvements like mega evolutions that have happened since then.
It's going to be in 3d whether you like it or not, and it'll sell millions of copies just like every mainline pokemon game.
It's just a question of whether we get Z first or they go right to gen 3 remakes and then start gen 7. (Sooner they start a new gen, the better, I want more new pokemon!)

how did the gym fight go? Did we beat it with marill. Why doesn't marill have any water attack right now (if the Info from the Google page is correct)
Deal, the pack is weak to the next gym anyway.

Wow, what a crit!
EDIT: NOOOOO, B again. Fuck.

Just after we beat the gym Marill lvld up and we overwrote water gun with rollout.

Dammit why is the reddit updater so much faster than my stream. It always spoils it for me
Twitch grinded Marill up to level 10 to learn water gun, then immediately used it to solo Roxanne. However in doing so it gained enough exp to level up and learn Rollout, which overwrote Water Gun.
Beat it with Marill. Marill learned Rollout right after beating Roxanne's last pkmn. Replaced water gun with rollout.

Haha, I feel like very very few people would see a shiny 3D remake as any kind of insulting.
In any case, that's what we'll get. Likely with some setpieces remade to take advantage of the 3D, and hopefully with some of the problems with RSE ironed out. So much of the game could be fixed just by changing water to have "patches" where Pokemon appear much like sand does, actually. That and the Phys/Spe split will do wonders for an RSE remake.

That's what I expect from TPP lol. Well rollout is a pretty move but having a water move would be better
edit: And we sail off!!

And how on earth do you figure that
seriously
Oh.
a 3D overworld isn't that drastic a change because it'd still be the same overworld and it would still play the same. It would just potentially look new and fresh. Which is... uhhhhhh... the point
I really just don't follow. And those 'many fans' you point out, I'd wager maybe 1% of the userbase would have that sort of reaction if that and who would take them seriously
Our current party is probably our best lineup of available pokemon. We got Zexy and Marill who are both at nice levels. Poochy and Nincada can fight decently and have potential (let's get a Shedinja!). Teleport Abra and Route 1 bug and bird are left in the PC. Let's see how long this party lasts.
edit: Just noticed our current Pooch isn't our highest level of the three, but oh well
