Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but GameFreak got the rights to the title "Delta Emerald". It's been pretty annoying how some people I know have been hyping up an Emerald remake, because I'm pretty sure GameFreak has done the same thing in the past and the games never got worked on.
Well, to be fair, the fact that they've registered the name "
Delta Emerald" is an indication that they have at least thought of it, whether they actually plan to remake Emerald or not. And yes, they had registered the titles "
Water Blue" and "
Grey", but the argument that they've registered these names, but haven't
released on them holds very little sway on what they will actually do. If it did, if that kind of history was that important to them, then ORAS would have been released in Gen V, we'd be anticipating the Sinnoh remakes release, and Grey actually would have been the title that they worked on and released, rather than BW2.
I do understand your annoyance at the claim that GF getting the rights to "
Delta Emerald" automatically means Hoenn 2.5 is a thing, I find it annoying myself. Until the official announcement of Gen VII, however, there's still a slightly greater chance that DE will be real, than the chance if it not being so.
