What do YOU want in the G/S Remake

[Number1ChanseyFan]

And what's wrong with the Safari Zone? Frustrating as it is to catch things sometimes, it was always fun.

Eh, its the frustrating part that is the reason that I want it to stay closed lol. But seriously, I guess they could reopen it... but really the R/S/E and D/P/P Safari Zone didn't seem to be as annoying as the R/B/Y one... and besides, unless they do something really strange to these games, I really wouldn't need to mess with the Safari Zone anyways, as I could always import Pokemon from my other games, as long as these Safari Zone Pokemon aren't unique in anyway... I have always been afraid of finding a shiny in the Safari Zone and losing it lol.

Actually, I thought of another cool addition too... bring back the old Mystery Gift feature... you know, the one where you could use the wireless thing on the old GBC to do Mystery Gift with a friend, where you could get some items and decorations for your room, I mean, we have wireless communication on the DS, so... why not?

They might reopen the Safari Zone and announce that it's imported lots of pokémon from far off lands, i.e. Hoenn and Sinnoh, so the player can get more pokémon from those regions without having to trade. Then you'd still be able to avoid the Safari Zone if you liked, but trading, etc. but it'd be there and have a purpose otherwise.

I would love the additional feature Mystery Gift had in those days- I can't remember quite where, but somewhere in Kanto (Viridian City?) there's a Trainer House where you could battle daily with a copy of the team of the last person you Mystery Gifted with. I loved this feature, although was always peeved after my own got stuck to some guy's single Primeape and I couldn't find anyone else to gift with.

On a related topic, what legends do people think will be available in these games? Considering that FR/LG included a wide stable of legends...

Ho-Oh/Lugia: Obviously, these will feature as they did originally. Do you think you'll be able to get both in the same game (IIRC this was eventually possible in GSC?), or have to trade?

Legendary Dogs: I figure Entei and Raikou are definitely going to be runners again, but I'm not sure about Suicune. They might keep the plot in Crystal (English releases at any rate) and have it as a more standard legendary encounter.

Celebi: I think the GS Ball will be given away over a wifi event like Oak's Letter and suchlike.

Now, getting into more murky waters...

Legendary Birds: I don't think they'll be in the game, considering they're already in Plat and FR/LG

Mewtwo: I doubt it, but I'm not entirely sure. He's obviously available in FR/LG, but not directly available in Gen IV. Possibly an Eventmon?

Mew: Moderately sure Mew would be available as some manner of Eventmon.

As for Hoenn...

Regis: No, available (via bizarre mechanism) in Platinum, so I doubt they'd return.

Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza: I'm really not sure. On the one hand, these are the big plotmons of RSE. They were much more important to the story than Lugia or Ho-Oh, which makes me think they wouldn't turn up as something you can just find and catch without plot. But then again, Lugia and Ho-Oh were unlockable in FR/LG, and I *think* Nintendo would like to make more pokémon available in Gen IV without transferring from Gen III. Overall I'd say there's maybe a 50/50 chance of these guys showing up.

Lati@s: Chances seem high to me of these turning up- possibly 1 per game. I don't think they'd be eventmon. Possibly runners- Platinum has 5 runners, so if you had the 2/3 dogs and either Lati you'd still have less than 5.

Jirachi & Deoxys: I thiiiink these will be eventmon. Prettymuch like Mew, I think. They could chalk up two of Deoxys' forms between the games to bring back the Gen III split (since in DPP you can just use the meteorites instead)

Last but not least...

Arceus:
Arceus's event has, to my knowledge, not yet happened for DPP. It seems to me that for the super climactic big last pokémon they might make it available in both the games. Perhaps at the peak of Mount Silver you could access the Hall of Origin? Keeping in mind that Mt Silver is pretty much Mt Fuji, which is a huge part of Japanese culture and myth. So if climactic awesome stuff were going to happen, it'd be the place!

Few! Sorry for my long boring theories, but there you go. What does everyone else think?
