Something I've noticed about Pokemon and Handhelds.

[3D Player 2004]

Every Handheld has had the Capability to play games from every single region out at the time of the Handhelds lifespan:

GB: Kanto
GBC: Kanto through GB backwards compatibility, Johto
GBA: Kanto remakes, Johto though GBC backwards compatibility, Hoenn
DS: Kanto remakes through GBA backwards compatibility, Johto remakes, Hoenn through GBA backwards compatibility, Sinnoh, Unova
will the 3DS continue that pattern or not? Currently, it has Johto BC, Hoenn Remakes (though unreleased), Sinnoh BC, Unova BC, and Kalos so all it needs is Kanto to be finished for its time period.
So this begs the question: will the pattern be broken or will there be a VC release of the Remakes or a VC release of the originals or a Kanto Remake Remake. Anyone's guess.

Well what did they do in FireRed/LeafGreen/Soul Silver/Heart Gold? If I remember correctly, they only hand Pokémon from their original game.

Edit: In FR/LG, you can go to these islands and see Jhoto Pokémon, but the main game just has Kanto.

Meh. The main reason for RB and GS remakes were so that Pokemon from those regions could be sent to newer games. I doubt Nintendo's going to go out of their way to push another Gen 2 remake.
EDIT: Wait what are you talking about, 3DS can play HG/SS so it can play Kanto.

I don't see why we even need RS remakes.
(ThunderYellow make it happen)

GB: Kanto

It can also play Johto, as GS are capable of being played on the original GB.

Because you can't play RS on Nintendo's current handheld? Just like you couldn't play GS on the DS. And you couldn't trade with Gen 3 with RG.

Also they'll never remake Pokémon Yellow because 1) they already did Gen 1 remakes and 2) Yellow was basically just advertising for the anime.
