Off-Topic, have we had a general Pokémon thread before?
I don't think so.
About the Idea for a Remake to R/S: I think, Game Freak won't see as neccessary to remake the 3rd Gen for the reason you still could get the Pokemons from R/S to Black/White 2, even this is a damn stupid way to get:
R/B/Y and G/S/C had the same "graphic" (You know what I want to say) so they're in this point similar. The second thing is that you can go at Kanto in the 2nd Gen, for the reason Jotho is beside of Kanto and have a connection (over the victory road). And there is a difference of three years between the first and second Gen. And they're also some parts what both Gens share (like Team Rocket, etc.)
All other versions got their own region and own graphic, etc. However, there is actually no way to transfer the pokemon from G/S/C to R/S. And well, even you have to use a DS or DSLite, there's a possible way to get your Pokemons from R/S/E to B/W2. I still have my old DS, so I personally have no problems with it.
IMO it would be cool to have a Remake of R/S, since I was excited about Heart Gold/Soul Sliver. It was a way better remake as Fire Red/Leaf Green. :p
