Can't wait for those remakes!

I thought the annoucement of X/Y kinda killed off the hope of a RSE remake

Dude, didn't you notice how every generation, the main games come first, and the remakes second?

BW and BW2 broke this trend so I wouldn't say that it's a given.

They were only making remakes of g1 and g2 to bypass the gameboy/GBA split preventing transfer of data from g2 to g3, ensuring that all non-event g1 and g2 mons could be caught easily. It is fully possible to get all mons from R/S/E to BW and BW2 via a series of one-way transfers using a g4 game as intermediary, eliminating the need for a remake.

Now the question is if XY creates a new split.

However, with the new game being on the 3DS, which is not GBA game compatible, there may very likely be a GEN 3 remake.

GBA cartridge-->G4 cartridge pal park-->3ds cartridge via wireless one way transfer.

Possibly with a one way transfer to a g5 cartridge inbetween g4 and g6.

Besides, simply by in-universe timeframe, the games run FRLG/RSE -> HGSS/DPPt -> BW -> BW2. Reintroducing RSE would throw those first couple pairings off.

Not that I wouldn't want an Emerald remake. And only Emerald would do, for me. Gens 1 and 2 could get away with split remakes, since their events are analogous, but the triple-features in Emerald and Platinum would:
1) be ignored in favor of the original splits, bumming me,
2) be integrated into a paired release, being redundant, or
3) be released as a singular remake, which'd throw us for a loop.
