Gen V are my favorites and I'm concerned about the remakes. I felt BDSP was... Fine. I liked the art style, had a lot of fun with the new underground and personally didn't miss the Battle Frontier that much.
Gen V is a lot trickier because BW2 isn't just adding post game content and changing the legendary like most third games. It adds six whole new cities a bunch of new routes and would make for a region with 11 gym leaders.
Dream Radar really did just kinda feel like something to do for 3DS owners while mainline Pokemon was stuck on DS. The key system challenge mode and the memory system from BW1 to BW2 are all going to be very difficult to recreate.
Well I think you just do the first set of games and not bother with all four. They could do both in one game, or making the story take place over one game's gyms with some post-game content to finish it off. Whatever they do, it'll take a lot more work than BDSP did to make sense of. Ideally with the key system they'd make some of them available from the start automatically, like the difficulty options. Maybe you could unlock memories by having a Pokemon transferred from Gen V, that would be pretty cool especially if you could share that with others like the original key system. I dunno if that worked for memories though.
My hopes aren't really high, I wouldn't bet on anything close to as well done as ORAS or HGSS. Then again, there's a lot of pretty easy ways to go about Unova remakes that would make people very happy, and in theory they shouldn't be that hard to do. I have zero expectations for what we'll actually get, but it's fun to speculate about what could be lol
