Second Remakes?

Some time ago after the release of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, someone conjectured the idea of another Pokémon game involving primarily elements from the first generation, but inclusive of all elements in Pokémon games to the present day. In other words, it would be a remake of a first-generation game. However, a first-generation remake has been done - four generations ago, in fact - so this would be a "second remake" of the games. The question now is whether this would be feasible and/or desirable.

It is worth noting that as of this post, the 3DS has effectively entered its "sunset" period, something I've also noted in discussing party games; fewer and fewer games will be made for it until the handheld is deprecated. The paucity of current releases is an indication to that regard; though there is no official word, things like the Badge Arcade maxing out and Miiverse being retired also contribute to this indication. Thus if this idea is actually feasible, it will likely be on a successor console where new generations of Pokémon games will be released. Even so, the main series of Pokémon games seem feasible no matter the console limits, as Sun and Moon have demonstrated, so barring the features that would make it into the final version, a second remake may be quite workable.

That leaves the quality of desirability. Just because this idea was conjectured (and thereby supported) by someone and that I find it enigmatic, it doesn't mean that it appeals to all fans or even the developers. Some may be even opposed to it, though perhaps not openly. This kind of idea needs a strong support from practically everyone before it can be realized. And of course, right now there's already a couple of new main series games - Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon - about to be on tap in about a month, so now is not the right time for this idea even if the previous is true. A wait for a better time for this game would be on order, perhaps in a few years or so; things may just change and warm up by then.

It would seem like a great thing to revisit Kanto a second (or technically, fourth) time and experience everything old with many things new, and it's certainly a personal desire of certain people. Whether it is supported and wanted by others is another matter entirely, one that affects the realization of this. It is still a fine, creative, and clever conjecture regardless, especially with the overall progression of the Pokémon main series games.
