>>58774015ok, and who is in charge of producing and publishing the Pokemon games, dipshit? so, the Pokemon Company knows the value of nostalgia then. and if they feel like it's time to tap that well, they'll tell Gamefreak to do it, or bypass them entirely and contract a 3rd party studio to, like they've done for the many spinoffs. I doubt it will be anytime soon because the games are selling better than ever, but I imagine it will happen at some point down the line. I wouldn't be surprised if they collaborated with Square to make a 2D-HD game. working with Bandai on Pokken shows they're open to those kinds of projects with other big studios.
and Gamefreak constantly includes references to Kanto in the games anyway, and yes, referencing Kanto IS acknowledging their roots, Kanto IS the roots and they acknowledge it all the time.
