Do we really *need* Sinnoh remakes?
All current 3DS systems are backward-compatible with DS games. Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (plus HGSS because why not) are still relatively easy to find at used game stores. There is no hardware limitation preventing any newcomer who started with S&M from going back and experiencing gen 4, other than having to jump through gen 5 if they want to transfer to Bank (which could easily be fixed with an update to Transporter).
Secondly, we wouldn't be getting a Platinum remake; we'd be getting Dildo Diamond and Penis Pearl. While ORAS did add some new features to Ruby and Sapphire, they came at the expense of removing the expanded storyline from Emerald. Would it be worth sacrificing the unique elements from Platinum, like the Distortion World, Looker, and the upgraded regional Pokedex?
Finally, Sinnoh itself has aged just fine from a gameplay perspective. Of all the core gameplay mechanics introduced in the games that came after it, only Fairy-types, Mega-Evolutions, and Z-moves are missing.
