>>35494029I'm a hardcore Kantofag but I don't need to see Kanto in-game ever again unless it's significantly changed. I'm talking either a "20 years later" GSC sequel, or a major overhaul of the region, to the point where it's more like a reimagining than a remake. At this point in time there's no excuse for not making Saffron a massive bustling city and not making Cinnabar into a decently-sized island with a tube volcano on it like it was always intended to be. Add a boatload of extra dungeons (Cinnabar Volcano, some underground shit, Route 14 windfarm). Since they can't do traditional Game Corners anymore, instead of lazily opting out they could do some cool fanservice like turning the Game Corner machines into Pokemon Pinball machines, packed with references to the original game. Give the Gym Leaders their Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 teams for post-E4 rematches. If they want to get really freaky with it they could reimagine some of the cut content for Gen 1, like the final Oak battle, or make new forms out of the Generation 1 sprite errors like the giant Exeggcute and the horizontal-shelled Cloyster.
There's plenty of stuff they COULD do with Kanto, but let's get real. If they do Kanto again we're getting FireRed and LeafGreen almost untouched but in 3D and probably without the Sevii Islands to boot. Game Freak are lazy cunts and if they're not going to pull out all the stops then there's no point going back there or any of the regions for that matter. Don't do a remake/revisit of any old game if your hearts aren't in it, Game Freak.
