POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Koh]

Dude, in order for a series to move forward, they need to take new steps. You can argue all you want that "Kids these days don't even know about these generations, they need to be included!"
But here's the fact of the matter:
Why can't a new generation be a newcomer's first experience? If they enjoy it, they can GO BACK through the older generations and experience them through those means, you can't bog progress down in nostalgia.

Also, once you finish the region, older pokemon usually start showing up..

I never said they should make the older gen games their first game. I'm saying they'll never get to actually see the older regions unless they do it through hackish means (emulators) or put their faith in the internet (trying to buy someone's stuff off of eBay or something, in good faith it won't have problems), which even after doing so, makes it completely impossible to transfer the Pokemon they need over from that source to the upcoming 3DS. Which is why remakes, or the addition of Hoenn as post-game content, would be extremely useful as well as additional FULL exploration, rather than railroaded "exploration."
