So, now that X and Y are out, which do you think will come next? Pokemon Z, Pokemon X2 and Pokemon Y2, or a Hoenn remake game? I personally think a Hoenn remake is due. Post your opinions and comments on it here. 
What's next: Pokemon Z or Pokemon X2 and Pokemon Y2 or Gen 3 Remake?

- Start date
Maybe, but I'm talking about Pokemon Main Games. Unless they are changing to the Wii U next time for the Main Game.
Main series games have always been on a portable device, and they always will be.

Maybe they'll surprise us with a year-long hiatus then announce gen VII.

I doubt they'll switch to the WiiU for the main games.
It's hard to tell. They threw a curveball with Black 2 and White 2 (so many people were expecting a third version) and there's no real precedent regarding which comes first: third version/paired sequels or remake. Emerald came after FireRed and LeafGreen, but Platinum came before HeartGold SoulSilver.
Maybe have a "Heck if I know" as another poll option?

Z isn't that far fetched, actually. Since you never played gen III, here's the gist-
In Ruby Team Magma wants to use Groudon to rule the world, in Sapphire Team Aqua wants to use Kyogre to do the same thing. In Emerald however, both teams are present and awaken their respective legendary. The main character then awakens Rayquaza to quell the fight and bring peace.
In Z it could be the same situation, Team Flare is using Xerneas and Ylveltal to power the Ultimate Weapon and then Zygarde is used to stop them.

You poor soul.
I don't consider Emerald a remake of the Hoenn gen, since it was in that time period still. I don't consider Platinum a remake either. Heartgold and Soulsilver were remakes though imo, and I played in Johto and Kanto in them. But still don't know what Hoenn's like.
I think I tried making a petition for gen 3 remakes back when Black and White 2 were new, but nobody would listen to me. Everyone said Pokemon doesn't care what you think. How are people supposed to control when they got into Pokemon? They can't.

I don't think Emerald and Platinum are remakes. To clarify:
Emerald --> third version
Platinum --> third version
FRLG --> remakes of gen I
HGSS --> remakes of gen II
I was just saying that there's no clear pattern as to which gets released first after paired versions (X and Y in this case): third versions/sequels or remakes.
And even if there were a pattern, we know they don't have a problem doing something unexpected.

That's because Emerald and Platinum weren't remakes; they were middle games. The only remakes there's been so far is FireRed & LeafGreen and HeartGold & SoulSilver.
Well, they don't. The only reason they remade gen II was so you would be able to catch all the Pokemon. You can transfer Pokemon from gen III still, plus copies of RSE aren't exactly hard to find. Although gen III was my first generation and it has nostalgic value, I really don't feel they need to remake it.
Okay, well this is considering which of the three people think will happen. I didn't put an IDK option in there since I knew most everyone would just choose that.
I'd much prefer if we got the Hoenn remakes up next, but it wouldn't surprise me if we saw X[sup]2[/sup] and Y[sup]2[/sup] as the next main series Pokemon games. And the reason I don't see them coming out with a Z version is because 2 versions = more money for them (they are a business, after all).
EDIT @Superhero: As I said earlier, people like me can't control when they got into Pokemon. Saying it's not necessary because you got the chance to experience is kind of un-fair (Ugh, that's the same exact thing someone said on the old thread). They are hard to find for me. They're not on the DS, they're GBA or something like that. I ordered one off of Amazon or something and right after I beat the first gym it glitched and said my file was gone and I couldn't play it. And it was 40 bucks for something new. It's not easy to find. Sorry if this sounds a little defensive, but imagine if you missed out on something you wanted to try and can't try it.

I grew up with gen III and IV. I got copies of gen I and II. Some were dead, so I found more. I don't know where you're looking, but it must not be the right places.
