If they ever remake BW2, I really hope that GF give us the chance to meet and battle with Hilda/Hilbert like how VoltWhite2/BlazeBlack2 Redux does
Unova is an interesting spot when it comes to remakes.
Every previous generation had a set of duo games that were the basis of their remakes; with the 3rd versions like Yellow or Platinum being omited but not entirely. As certain elements from Crystal like the whole Suicune chase story-line was included and expanded in HGSS.
But what will GF do with the remakes of Gen 5? It's obvious that they will remake BW1 but BW2, who are the great exception of that 3rd premium game, aren't just a next step in gameplay they are entirely sequels to the story of BW1.
I expect certain elements of BW2 to make it in, but will they skip BW2 as a whole when remaking Gen 5?
Whatever is the case, if they do happen to remake BW2 - and I am wishfuly hoping that it happens as some sort of HD-2D remake like the Dragon Quests 1,2 and 3 - I do want them to include the option to battle the previous trainer characters from BW1 Hilda and Hilbert.
Whether they stick a certain "canon" like giving Hilda to Nate and Hilbert to Rosa; OR they give us the option to choose who was the player character and their starter of choice. Like when you reach Nuvema Town, Hilda/Hilbert's mom talks to you about their child and you basically get to fill in the form for who you fight.
A fight like what Gold/Kris had vs Red in the Gen 2 games and their remakes.
It's a reunion I wish it had happened 15+ years ago of the 2 heroes who saved Unova from Team Plasma and finally get to meet and battle.
The screenshots are from my VoltWhite2 Redux save file. Thank you to Drayano and AlphexCube for making it possible, as I wait for version 2.0 to come out.
