I mention a sliver of a GSDS debate, I leave for a bit, and I come back to this. >__>
I would like to note that aside from the internal "From Johto" data, everything noted upon is pure speculation. It could lend itself as a form of advertising and such, but by no means does it mean anything. For example, people have stated that the fact that Reggie's Badges have been shown on screen, particularly his Johto Badges, means there will be a Johto remake. That's just as likely to say about a Hoenn remake. It's all speculation, in my opinion.
Of course, the difference this time around is that there's a lot more speculative evidence than there has been before. One can not deny, not even myself, that there is far more speculative evidence than before. The stars certainly do seem to align for this event. And most of the general community is reacting differently this time around. The majority concensus is believing this time around that it actually will be a GSDS remake.
I honestly wouldn't care about what features are added or not. What I care about most are two things. The first is that they make Johto live up to its name. If it doesn't give Johto the respect it deserves, I don't want it. Many of the younger members might not know what Johto was all about. I'll be frank. My first Pokemon game ever was Crystal version. I loved it. G/S/C was the best set of games Game Freak has done for Pokemon, in my opinion. D/P/P make a close second, but Johto remains my all-time favorite. And the thing is, most fans agree the same way with me. They consider Johto to be the best of all games and regions, and they want there to either be spectacular remakes that give Johto justice, or no remakes at all.
The second thing I want is that they put more attention and focus on Johto. In G/S/C, they put more focus on Kanto than they did on Johto. It was hard to find a lot of flaws in G/S/C, and most of the fanbase agrees that the biggest flaw was that there wasn't enough focus on Johto. If they did they games the justice they deserve, and put more focus on Johto, I'll be content.
