>>47943191No, no-one wanted Kanto re-done. Hoennbabs EXPECTED a Gen III remake in Gen V (to the point there were fuckwits claiming Elgyem confirmed it, due to having red, blue and green fingertips).
That they screenched, gnashed their teeth and wailed when Gen V passed with no hoeen remake made them a big sad, so Game Freak wet and bowed to their wishes.
