Speculation - Pokémon Pearl and Diamond remake after Pokémon Sun and Moon.
>>26682682
Retards strike again
>>26682802
I'd welcome gen iv remakes if it means seeing sinnoh in 3D but I would be very surprised if we get more games on the 3ds. It's about time for the next handheld to come up. Gen 8 could easily fit in 2 new main games and DP remakes.
>>26682782
It's Ga-Ole, the sequel to Pokemon Tretta.
>>26682802
>>26682908
Remakes are dead because VC is more profitable.
>>26682908
Gen 7 wont be just Sun and Moon because they need to strech it for the anime. That means we're gonna get at least one more installment. Either Sun and Moon third version/sequels 9doubtful0 or DP remakes
>>26682928
>Remakes are dead because VC is more profitable.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
>>26682773
>protag designs are better than SM's
fuck this
>>26682682
How much do you want to bet that if they ever remake Kanto the Sevii Islands won't be there because of fucktards bleating "no Emerald remake" to defend ORAS
>>26682908
Oh god no.
>>26682928
I sure wish.
>>26682946
>Nearly zero spent making putting the game on the emulator
>>26682946
Not even that guy but
>slapping an old rom onto the store with a pricetag is somehow not more profitable than making an entire new game
Putting one of the older games on VC would take literally an afternoon, and that's with double-checking compatibility and fixing any problems.
It's basically free money.
>>26682991
yep and 10 times less sales. Which is more profitable again?
>>26683001
RBY on VC 1.5 million sales
ORAS 12 million sales.
Sure its a free money for RBY on VC but its still ONLY 1.5 million copies vs 12 millions.
Do you really have no buisness sense at all?
>>26683006
>>26683033
>high sales = high profits
Are you retarded?
There are so many factors that play into it like production costs and advertising while there's next to none of that when it comes to VC.
Hell it's why a AAA game or movie selling only 1 mil can be a huge flop because of how much money went into it.
>>26683053
Plus they also get profits from making it Bank compatible because of the subscription.
>>26683053
But that is obvious for fucks sake, are you literally retarded?
Yes GF must invest more money into making a remake but the income will be a lot bigger. VC release is convenient and brings some free money but its hardly any success for a companies as big as GF and TPC, not to mention financially its only a small bonus if anything. Dont you get that?
>>26683033
Do you have no idea how business works?
It's return/time. You want to get the most money per hour spent working on it.
ORAS had 12million sales, and we'll call it an even $40 per sale, netting a handsome $480million.
RBY had 1.5million at $10, giving you $15million dollars.
But ORAS took at least a year to make, while RBY could be put on the shop in one day.
>$480million / 365 days = $1.3million
>$15million / 1 day = $15million
It's literally 10 times the return on time spent. And that isn't even man hours--ORAS had an entire team while RBY could have been done by one guy. And this also isn't even counting costs for packaging and shipping, which ORAS has and RBY does not.
This is business 101, faggot. Look at the numbers.
>>26683113
So according to your good advices Gf shouldnt even do new games, just release old ones on VC. Go ahead, send your ideas to them, im sure they'll be happy
>>26683141
Are you retarded?
Do you think people will just buy the exact same thing over and over again?
>>26683141
No, I'm saying mainline games and VC re-releases is the most profitable combination.
ORAS was a big bundle of cash, but putting Ruby/Sapphire and maybe even Emerald up on the VC would have been a much better return on their time. Time that they could have put into XY or SM. Time that could have pushed SM to a quicker release date. They make more money on new games than remakes anyway. This is an obvious answer.
Don't be retarded.
>>26682773
Is that chicken-chan's little sister?

Then tell my GF decided to do those remakes, whats the point? Are they retarded? Or maybe you are wrong and they are right and they know what they're doing because they did for 2 decades now?
>>26683218
Are you seriously an idiot?
Because there was a demand for Hoenn games as well as the fact that the 3DS can't into GBA emulation properly. Even the Ambassador games did some spoofing of the DS mode or something.
Also anything before now doesn't even matter because VC wasn't a fucking thing.
>>26682802
>Sinnoh remakes
>when you can play every region on the 3DS as of ORAS
Nah. For the next console, maybe.
>>26683244
>Because there was a demand for Hoenn games as well as the fact that the 3DS can't into GBA emulation properly.
Then why are you trying to convince people that remakes of DP shouldnt be a thing because VC is "more profitable"? They cant release those on VC
>>26683218
Even huge, successful companies can make mistakes.
>Windows Vista
>Apple Maps
>most of the things Nokia has done over the last 20 years or so
We can only hope they'll figure it out soon.
>>26683292
You are aware that the 3DS is nearing the end of it's life right?
>>26682959
Seriously, what the fuck?
>>26683321
So? Do you think next console will have both GBA and DS games on VC? Pls
>>26683389
Why not? It's a fucking emulator. That's all they need. If I can play DS games on my phone, they can make it work on whatever their next handheld system is.
>>26682959
Always
>>26683412
GF wiill continue to do remakes. ORAS is the 3rd best selling 3ds game. If you think GF and Nintendo will just give up on it then you're naive. As long they sell over 10 millions they'll be a thing
>>26683389
>So? Do you think next console will have both GBA and DS games on VC? Pls
There's no reason for them not to especially when those emulators already exist on the Wii U. All it takes is a simple optimization job for the new system once and they're done.
>>26683512
We dont even know waht the next handheld will be anon
>>26683480
You do realise they could use that time to make a new game that would sell a good 2-3 million more than a remake right?
This isn't rocket science.
>If you think GF and Nintendo will just give up on it then you're naive.
The only one being naive here is you, they could make a lot more if they just abandon remakes and focus on the main games and I'm willing to bet that they can see this too considering they didn't go with Z.
>>26683523
Do you honestly think they're going to abandon the E-shop and VC?
>>26683540
Again, you're SO naive. That would mean we'd get a new generation every year or two at the most and thats not how a geneartion works. Everey generation is a three or four year span in which a promotional machine goes on full speed and includes games, anime series, movies, mangas, side games, merch etc. Every generation needs more than just main games. Thats how it worked for two decades and they wont change it
>>26683113
I love how you say that but the majority of sales are usually the first 3 weeks in Japan and tend to peak about 2-3 months in with everything following it a few ten to a hundred thousand units a week.
Not to mention no matter which unit sells, operation costs and development budget are factored into the game's sales for either end so whomever did any programming tweaks for the VC version of Pokemon RBY or implemented Bank functionality had to be compensated. That's not "free" money, it's allocating resources. If you think they did RBY out of the goodness of plain nostalgia, you'd be mistaken.
>>26683704
Yep, people seriously believe GF didnt do anything and just slapped those games on VC without spending any money at all
>>26683704
>>26683757
Literally no one said they didn't spend any money, just that the amount of money they do spend is negligible because they just slapped the game onto the GB emulator and made a few tweaks.
Hell for the wireless communication they just combined code and assets from the NES emulator by the looks of things. It was obviously made on the cheap.
>>26683690
>t-they won't change it because that's how it's always been!
That's not even an argument.
For one two years is enough for the games to hit their peak in sales, in fact two or three months would be enough. That also applies to most of the merch and side games too. I think the only thing that would get hit hard would be the manga and that's already lagging behind in several arcs.
You literally know nothing about business do you.
>>26683831
I guess you dont if you expect Pokemon to do a 180 degree turn after 20 years of using the same strategy
>>26683176
>he says on a Pokemon board
>>26683922
>180
What are you even talking about?
It would be an incredibly minor change that nets them more money and we've been seeing it since Gen 5 and especially this gen when they dropped the third version entirely.
>>26683960
Well not really. Gen 5 and 6 for the most part were pretty much the same as past ones the difference is that they decided to shake things up to avoid being predictable
Gen 5 had main games, had no remake and a third game split into two versions
Gen 6 had main games, no third games but had remakes again. Both had a 3 year lifespan just like gen 1 and 2 so nothing outstanding
>>26682773
