>>54937794>"buhbuhbuhbuh LGPE!!!">Wasn't a remake, Masuda deliberately tied himself in knots to avoid calling it such. The opinions of /vp/ are worth exactly fuck-all, when they call core titles spin-offs. Forgive me if I defer to one the founders summation of the game (as if the iseki plot re-telling Gen 1 when Red canonically completed the events of Kanto games still wasn't enough to awaken the masses).
And if the long-term director isn't calling it a remake, despite it being a remake of a past game, then per Game Freak, it's not "the" remake, which was BDSP/Legends. It's also [proof they're not jumping from paired remake to paired remake, but instead WILL fold in re-remakes of games where their initial remakes sat in the order (eg RS - FRLG - DP became ORAS - LGPE - BDSP, meaning as it went DP - HGSS - BW, it's gonna go BDSP - LG2J - DBVW).
Their market is 7 year olds, when was the last time a 7 year old from the late '10's discovered a DS that was charged, working and loaded with HGSS?
