A remake is a term used to describe something that is done again, in a new and updated style, such as a video game remake. In Pokémon terms, it can refer to two pairs of games:
- Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, remakes of the Generation I games Pokémon Red and Green during Generation III.
- Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, remakes of the Generation II games Pokémon Gold and Silver during Generation IV.

Before the announcement of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, many had speculated a remake of Gold and Silver since the release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen in 2004. In the Generation IV games, location pointer data (for a captured 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 see Johto make an appearance in future games compatible with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
