| Before the announcement of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, many had speculated a remake of Gold and Silver since the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in 2004. In the [[Generation IV]] games, location pointer data (for a [[caught Pokémon]]'s status screen) includes a reference to [[Johto]], much like it does for [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] when a Pokémon is transferred forward from [[Generation III]]. This left programmers the opportunity to have Johto make an appearance in future games compatible with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. However, Pokémon caught in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and traded to {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} have location data appear as [[Faraway place]], unless caught in a location which also exists in Platinum such as the [[Global Terminal]] or {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} ({{ka|Victory Road|Kanto Victory Road}} still shows up as Faraway place).

| {{bulbanews|Masuda replies to tweet regarding remakes of Generation III games}}
| |
| Because of the "pattern" established by remaking both Red and Green and Gold and Silver two [[generation]]s after their original release, it is now being speculated that [[Generation III]] remakes may appear sometime in the future, possibly during [[Generation V]]. This theory is strengthened by the number of references to the Generation III games:
| |
| * Both involved an upheaval to the Pokédex structure: {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} was the first game to have a regional Pokédex excluding Pokémon from previous generations, while {{game|Black and White|s}}'s regional Pokédex was the first to contain no Pokémon from previous generations.
| |
| ** They also involve introducing little to no [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolutionary relatives from their previous generations]].
| |
| * Hoenn is so far the only region of the [[main series]] games not to be rendered in 3D. It is also the only region that did not yet appear in a game specifically compatible with the [[Nintendo DS]] series of handheld consoles by [[Nintendo]].
| |
| * The inclusion of the [[HM]] contains {{m|Dive}} that used to travel [[underwater]] [[Abyssal Ruins|locations]], which was previously exclusive to Generation III.
| |
| ** The original function of the {{DL|Poké Ball|Dive Ball}} was restored which makes it more effective on Pokémon that dwell underwater. Unova has no underwater wild Pokémon encounters.
| |
| * The inclusion of {{tc|The Riches|a skilled family}} of Pokémon Trainers similar to the [[Winstrate Family]]. Both families are battled in the same way, all consecutively.
| |
| * Some of the available [[Décor]] in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] resembles [[decorations]] that are available for [[Secret Base]]s in Hoenn.
| |
| * Generation V's [[Elite Four]] theme features a remixed sample from the Generation III Elite Four theme.
| |
| * Both Hoenn and Unova have ancient locations that show written messages of a unique language in real life, [[Braille]] and {{wp|Cuneiform}} respectively.
| |
| * {{DL|Water tile|Currents}} reappear on [[Route]]s {{rtn|17|Unova}} and {{rtn|18|Unova}}.
| |
| * The inclusion of two [[rival]] characters that each have different gender, similar to Generation III.
| |
| ** [[Cheren]] and [[Wally]], the two rival characters, both appear in [[Victory Road]] for [[rematch]]es.
| |
| * A {{tc|Backpacker}} in [[Desert Resort]] tells the player that he comes from Hoenn, and that he doesn't need the [[Go-Goggles]] here unlike in Hoenn.
| |
| * In [[Undella Town]] during Summer, a boy tells the player that he and his family comes from Hoenn and visit Undella Town every Summer.
| |
| * A [[fossil]] depicting an {{p|Armaldo}} in the [[Nacrene City]] museum.<!--Also note that no other Fossil Pokémon are on display.-->
| |
| * {{DL|Exchangeable item|Shoal Salt}} and {{DL|Exchangeable item|Shoal Shell}} can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}}, despite only having a function in the Hoenn region.
| |
| * In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{an|Dawn}} decided to travel to [[Hoenn]] to compete in {{pkmn|Contests}} in [[SS024]], as {{an|May}} before her did in [[Johto]].
| |
| * In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! (Part 1)]]'', dark red and dark blue orbs were used alongside black and white orbs to call forth {{p|Landorus}}.
