[[bp:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] have many [[bp:Generation II|Generation II]] references: [[bp:Jasmine|Jasmine]]'s cameo, [[bp:Professor Oak|Oak]]'s cameo, [[bp:SecretPotion|SecretPotion]], non-player characters mentioning [[bp:Johto|Johto]] and [[bp:Kanto|Kanto]] places and characters, etc. The game creators were apparently trying to keep old characters and objects alive. It excited some people in hope for possible future GS remakes. However, it's also possible [[bp:Game Freak|Game Freak]] made all these references because there will be ''no'' remake. That possibility makes sense, as well.

However, also hidden in game data is Johto location data. There are ''two'' Johto location entries in game data (Gold and Silver?). That suggests that Pokémon may be able to be transferred from Johto to [[bp:Sinnoh|Sinnoh]]. It may be a sign of possible GS remakes, or it may just be dummy data. However, if one looks at DP items - all non-key Generation III items have their data in DP because they can be transferred along with Pokémon via [[bp:Pal Park|Pal Park]]. So, if there were a GS remake with GS items, all things like Johto [[bp:Poké Ball|Poké Balls]] or [[bp:Apricorn|Apricorns]] could be transferred to Sinnoh. But, there is no data about them in DP. However, if that data existed, it would be an overly obvious sign of GS remakes. Nintendo does not want to be predictable, does it? In the event of GS remakes, it could find a way to make these items untradeable.

Finally, the strongest point against GS remakes: They are pointless. Pal Park makes it possible to get all old Pokémon without any new games. FR/LG and [[bp:Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]] were necessary to get all Pokémon in Generation III. GS remakes are not. But, let me take us back to older generations. [[bp:Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]] was not necessary to get 150 Pokémon in [[bp:Generation I|Generation I]], and Game Freak/Nintendo made it, nor was [[bp:Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]] for the 251 Pokémon in [[bp:Generation II|Generation II]]. Don't forget that there will most likely be a third version of DP. Despite the fact that a third version is "pointless" to catch all the Pokémon, I'm pretty sure it ''will'' be out. So, the same situation may apply to GS remakes. I know, the chance of GS remakes is slim, but it is hardly non-existent.
