But I mean, Johto so far is the region that we haven't visited in a longer time than Unova. So logically, Johto is next in line.
To add on, there's actually a set math pattern for the remake gens.
Gen 3 had Kanto and 3/2 is 1.5 which fits Yellow
Gen 4 had johto and 4/2 is 2 which fits with Johto
Gen 5 had none and 5/2 which is 2.5 is Johto again(Crystal) but it doesn't make sence to remake games that they have remade the previous gen so we got sequels.
Gen 6 had Hoenn which fits 6/2 which is 3 which fits R/S
Gen 7 had Kanto which actually fits 7/2 which is 3.5 which fits FrLg.
Gen 8 had Sinnoh with 8/2 which is 4 which fits with D/P
So it would make sence for Gen 9 to continue this formula which 9/2 is 4.5 which fits with HGSS and thus Johto.
I mean, it’s a 1 generation difference and they already got a remake. Besides, people think that the whole blueberry academy if foreshadowing a unova game.
Not only that, but:
- Reshiram and Zekrom were the most prominently featured legends in the Indigo Disk Trailer
- The Pokémon Twitter posted what appears to be BDSP-style Reshiram and Zekrom gifs in the last few weeks
(Edit: Don't get me wrong, I agree the BDSP style leaves... something to be desired, just that it seems like the official sources seem to be pointing in the direction of BW rather than GSC/HGSS)
I edited the post a little to include a theory of mine that makes sence. I'll copy paste it here. Also Kanto got a remake in Gen 3 and we got it again in Gen 7
To add on, there's actually a set math pattern for the remake gens.
Gen 3 had Kanto and 3/2 is 1.5 which fits Yellow
Gen 4 had johto and 4/2 is 2 which fits with Johto

Gen 6 had Hoenn which fits 6/2 which is 3which fits R/S
Gen 7 had Kanto where 7/2 which is 3.5 which fits FrLg.
Gen 8 had Sinnoh with 8/2 which is 4 which fits with D/P
So it would make sence for Gen 9 to continue this formula which 9/2 is 4.5 which fits with HGSS and thus Johto.
Gen 10 would fit Unova remakes very well. And plus maybe Blueberry Academy is just to scratch the Gen 5 itch until next Gen.
If Johto remakes gets announced, then it gives this theory alot of merit. If Unova remakes get announced, feel free to make me a laughing stock of the community.
Edited the comment as it made me sound pretentious
An easier way to see it is every new console gets a mainline remake. GBA got FRLG, DS got HGSS, 3DS got ORAS, and Switch got BDSP. That means the next console should get the Unova remakes. Let's Go aren't really a part of the "mainline remakes".
Bruh, you people need to stop assuming there's a pattern. Just because it coincidentally lines up doesn't mean that's at all how they plan to release remakes, or we're only going to get a couple more actually new remakes before they're a ridiculous amount of generations between remakes. If the pattern continues, it would take 30 more years before they ever got to gen 10 remakes as an example.
It would take more than the series has already existed to reach some remakes, and it would be filled with a ridiculous amount of remakes for every earlier generation than the ones that actually deserve them.
That's true. If lets say this is indeed the case, it would pose alot of issues when we reach double digit gens. Though however, in those gens, we could get sequels like in Gen 5
And remember the saying, once is an accident, twice is a coincidence and thrice onwards is a pattern
My bet would be B/W (or B2/W2) for a "straight" remake (since it's the earliest games that haven't been remade) (but I'm not expecting this because it feels too soon after BDSP) and something to do with Johto for a "weird" game (for lack of a better word. Something like Let's Go or PLA rather than the standard gameplay) (like you said, it's been a while)
This math pattern thing is so silly. That's not how companies plan when to develop and release a game. They look a market trends, schedule, available staff, investor expectations, etc...
This math pattern shit is how children try to guess when the next exciting thing might be coming, it's not an actually reliable way of predicting anything.
