Hey Guys, HDvee here! Now, over the past few
months, there has been a lot of speculation
on whether the fourth generation games Pokemon
Diamond and Pokemon Pearl would be getting
remakes in the near future. Of course this
would be an incredible thing to happen, and
i’m sure that most of you guys agree with
me when i say that. I even made a video going
over all of the hints and references In Pokemon
Sun and Moon that link with the idea that
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes could be
on the way, and you guys seemed to really
like it! However, this isn’t the only set
of games that have been rumored to be having
a remake in the near future. The first generation
games, Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue, have
also been in the spotlight due to the unsolved
questions in Pokemon Sun and Moon, all of
which we’ll be going over in today’s video.
I also know that there are a couple of Kanto
easter eggs in sun and moon simply because
it is the twentieth anniversary of Pokemon,
but they still all help point towards the
possibility of a remake. With that being said,
today’s video takes a look at all of the
hints and references in Pokemon Sun and Moon
that point towards the possibility of the
Pokemon Red and Blue remakes. I feel like
i’ve found most of them through all the
research that i’ve done, but if i have missed
a small hint or reference then please leave
it in the comment section below after watching
the video, i’d love to know if you guys
have come across anything! With introductions
out of the way though, let’s get into the
video and i hope that you enjoy.
Our first reference for the Pokemon Red and
Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon is at
the very beginning of the seventh generation
games, your character themselves. The player
character in Pokémon Sun and Moon and his
or her family have moved to Alola from the
Kanto region. Maybe the remakes of Pokemon
Red and Blue see your character move back
to Kanto after finishing with the Alola region,
trying to become the league champion there
too, it’s definitely a possibility and also
boosts the idea that the first generation
could indeed get remakes in the future!
The second reference or hint for the Pokemon
Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon
is the appearance of the Kanto Pokemon league
champions, Red and Blue. Now as you most likely
are all aware of by now, the trainers Red
and Blue from Kanto both make an appearance
in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. In order
to meet these characters, you will need to
make your way to the Battle Tree. However,
to get to the Battle Tree you’ll need to
become the Champion of Alola and then head
to the Poni Gauntlet through the Poni Coast.
Once you get to the Poni Gauntlet you’ll
run into Blue and Red and they will challenge
you to a battle. You have to choose which
to face off against and be prepared because
both are extremely strong. Starting off with
Red, he has his classic team all coming in
at high level sixties and so is clearly no
pushover. Starting things off with a level
seventy Pikachu, his team also consists of
a Lapras, a Snorlax and the three kanto starters
being Charizard, Venusaur and a Blastoise.
These Pokemon are of course pretty tough to
take down, which comes as no surprise to the
legendary Pokemon trainer, Red. If you don’t
choose to battle Red, then you’ll have to
take on Blue in order to access the Battle
Tree. Blue’s team isn’t as high levelled
as Red’s team, but still consists of some
pretty powerful Pokemon. All of Blue’s team
are level sixty five and contains the likes
of Alakazam, Machamp, Aerodactyl, Exeggutor,
Arcanine and a Gyarados. So as you can see,
both trainers have a very formidable team
and it won’t be an easy task getting past
them! But again, a nice little reference to
Kanto seeing as two of the most iconic characters
of the first generation games make an appearance
in Pokemon Sun and Moon.
The third reference or hint for the Pokemon
Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon
are what some of the NPC characters say in
Heahea city. In the seventh generation games,
it is said that Heahea City was formed by
people who travelled in Kanto and Johto long,
long ago and came together in the Alola region.
As Well as this, a Sightseer in Heahea City
says that he wants to document all the differences
between Diglett's Tunnel in Alola and Diglett's
Cave in Kanto. Again, two clear references
to Kanto, and with so many characters moving
between the two regions of Kanto and Alola,
it does make you wonder if maybe our own character
might be going back there too someday soon.
The fourth reference or hint for the Pokemon
Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon
is the Nugget Bridge. During your playthrough
of Pokemon Sun and Moon, you will come across
countless characters, objects and events that
all reference the Kanto region, where Pokemon
obviously began. However, one of the most
obvious references would have to be the Nugget
Bridge. Players will see five trainers waiting
on a yellow bridge at the Malie Garden, which
is located to the north of Malie City. In
order to move forward, the player has to beat
each one of them before finally squaring off
against the trainer at the end of the bridge.
Before the fight starts, the trainer will
ask the player if he or she would like to
join Team Rocket. After beating the trainer,
the player will get a Big Nugget. What’s
even crazier though is the fact that all of
the trainers on this bridge have the exact
same Pokemon that the trainers used on the
actual nugget bridge back in Kanto. So, clearly
another huge hint towards Kanto and the idea
that a remake could be on it’s way.
The fifth reference or hint for the Pokemon
Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon
refers to the Power Plant back in Kanto. A
poster within the Geothermal Power Plant on
Blush Mountain talks about the Kanto Power
Plant. It mentions some of the events in the
Johto section of the series, specifically
about how the loss of the Machine Part put
the entire plant out of operation. It also
goes on to say that the Legendary Pokémon
Zapdos appeared there once. This isn’t the
only poster that references Kanto in Pokemon
Sun and Moon. A woman in the Hau'oli City
Mall next to a poster says "Hey! Under this
poster... There's nothing! Of course there's
no switch, silly!", referencing the secret
switch under the poster in the Rocket Game
Corner that gave access to the Rocket Hideout.
So, two more hints leading back to two major
events that took place in the Kanto region.
The sixth reference or hint for the Pokemon
Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon
is featured in the Aether Paradise. An NPC
at Aether Paradise mentions that her group
is there to study how things are done there,
and compares it to how things are done at
the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City. Another NPC
in Aether Paradise then goes on to mention
that the PC Boxes for the Pokémon Storage
System were developed by Bill in the Kanto
region. He adds that Bill is "apparently a
real Pokémon maniac". Referring to a big
character back in Kanto and again, gives us
a bit more hope for remakes of Pokemon Red
and Pokemon Blue.
The seventh reference or hint for the Pokemon
Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon
is to do with the seventh generation game’s
Professor, Professor Kukui. Professor Kukui
tells the player about his travels in the
Kanto region and how he challenged the Pokémon
League there, again, showing more travelling
between the two regions Kanto and Alola which
could point towards a remake.
The eighth reference or hint for the Pokemon
Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon
is Alolan Oak. Through your travels in Pokemon
Sun and Moon, you will meet Samson Oak who
is a Pokémon researcher in Alola. He studies
the regional variants of the region. He is
a cousin of Professor Oak, with whom he shares
a striking resemblance. Samson Oak is first
met in Malie City on Ula'ula Island in Sun
and Moon, when the player's Rotom Dex recognizes
him. He tells the player about his research
on regional variants, and asks them to come
meet him in Malie Library. A huge link towards
Professor Oak, one of the biggest names in
Pokemon, is always nice to see to help boost
the idea of remakes for Pokemon Red and Blue.
The next two references or hints for the Pokemon
Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon
are quite small, and so have been bunched
together for this next part. Firstly, One
phrase that the player may receive from the
Johto Tent at the Festival Plaza is "You better
have a Burn Heal!" This line is also spoken
by Blaine before his Gym battle, so a nice
little reference to one of Kanto’s gym leaders.
The second reference or hint is that on Route
fourteen, a Hiker mentions how he once saw
a Pikachu that could use Surf. Linking back
to Pokemon Yellow’s start up screen of Pikachu
riding a surfboard, which was always fun to
see.
Our last reference or hint for the Pokemon
Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon
for today’s video is probably the biggest,
and it is Lillie returning to Kanto. Now I
can't be alone in feeling a little miffed
at Lillie's heavy tease at the end of Pokémon
Sun and Moon. After a long journey around
Alola with the player character and having
engaged in her fair share of family drama,
Professor Kukai's assistant embarks for Kanto
– the iconic setting for Pokémon Red, Blue
and Yellow, and home to Ash Ketchum in the
anime series. As well as all of the huge references
to the first generation games throughout Pokemon
Sun and Moon, there were also multiple questions
left unanswered in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon
Moon that all lead to Kanto such as What happens
to Lillie and Lusamine after the latter's
Ultra Beast-splicing encounter? Does Bill
have a cure? Surely a Pokemon Red and Blue
remake would tell us the answers, they can’t
just leave the story of one of the main characters
in Pokemon Sun and Moon on a cliffhanger like
they have done, and a remake would definitely
help tie up all of the unanswered questions.
But with that, wraps up this video. I really
hope you enjoyed it as much as i did making
it! If you did enjoy the video though, please

i said at the start of the video, if you know

and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon that
didn’t make the list, then be sure to leave
