Out of a desperate need for some discussion to happen in this topic, I'm creating this thread. I'm actually not sure whether it belongs in the GSC forum since it's a remake of Gold/Silver we're talking about, or the DP forum since the remake will be a 4th-gen game as Fire Red/Leaf Green is a 3rd-gen game...so I'm just posting this same topic in both fora. Who knows, the two topics might get completely different discussion since it's from the viewpoints of fans of different games.

First of all, there is still some debate over whether or not a remake is actually happening. I myself was one of the naysayers until I saw the info that Water Pokémon Master posted in this thread; I now believe it'll happen. For the sake of this thread, let's assume/pretend it will.

Here's one thing that just occured to me recently. In Fire/Leaf, we learned something surprising about the GSC Rival with the long red hair. How might this information impact the GS remake? Not at all? Brief mention in a hidden place? Rewriting of key dialogue in a rival encounter?
