>>23354247>>23354275I could have sworn I saw an interview that said the decision to remake Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire was made on Nov. 21st, 2012, and they started production after that time. Don't quote me on that, but if anyone can find the article I saw that mentioned that, that would be great.
Regardless, I don't think anyone is looking at the bigger picture. X and Y sequel games were probably already planned from the beginning, and that's probably why X and Y were lack-luster to begin with. The original plan was probably to go just like Gen V with the initial games and sequels only. But at the last minute, they decided to go ahead and remake RS because the fans wanted it. So they just shoehorned the remakes in between XY and the sequels. This is probably why Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves exist within XY's coding, but Precipice Blades, Origin Pulse, Dragon Ascent, Desolate Land, Primoridal Sea, and Delta Stream do not. So because the XY sequels or whatever were probably planned from the beginning, they more than likely won't be as bad as some people are dreading.
