(Anyone else ever see a tweet and go on a reply thread only to realise it probably would’ve been better to say on tumblr because that’s where you prefer posting? Because that’s what this is) so the way I think about it, all first remakes except FRLG (because it wouldn’t make sense to do Gen 1 remakes in Gen 2) have been in the generation double the original generation so Gen 5 remakes should be in Gen 10 (how they do B2W2, idk). Even ignoring Blueberry Academy, Unova also doesn’t even have the oldest last appearance of a region as it last appeared in Black 2 and White 2 in Gen 5 while Johto last appeared in HeartGold and SoulSilver in Gen 4 so Johto is anyway more likely to get a remake sooner I think at this time. Personally I’d rather that was also saved for Gen 10 because then Gen 9 can be exclusively SV and Z-A which would increase the feelings of the two games being connected (you can’t just “move on to Z-A in order to forget about SV”, muahaha. Idk while I laughing evilly, it still doesn’t give the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords (or any Paldean/Kitakami/Terarium Pokémon) any chance of appearing in Z-A) but in that situation I think it would be extremely unlikely that we get a Legends game next Gen (although if the Snivy/Litten/Totodile theory is somehow true then I guess maybe it would make sense to delay the final ever Legends game to Gen 11) just because a main paired version, main paired version’s DLC, Gen 2 remakes, Gen 5 remakes and some random Legends game (counting pairs of games intended to be counterparts as one game and a DLC expansion as half a game brings the total up to 4.5 games in one generation). I think it would of course be funny if they played with the fact that 2x5=10 and gave us both Johto remakes and Unova remakes in Gen 10 and to be fair, if they can give the Legendary Beasts and Swords of Justice Paradox counterparts where Wake and Leaves specifically get special treatment for Suicune and Virizion alliterating with Scarlet and Violet as well as (I’m gonna keep this general in case anyone reading this doesn’t want Teraleak-related spoilers but it does kinda narrow things down significantly) likely giving a Mythical special treatment in Z-A because of a similar situation (and to be fair as much as I love the Mythical chosen it would be cool if both of them could have been chosen. Still, I love the Mythical chosen and am very happy this is apparently planned to happen and hope they haven’t changed their minds about it), they can do both sets of remakes in Gen 10 for the whole 2x5=10 stuff
