Just a couple reasons why I think we might get this instead of a pair of Ruby/Sapphire Remakes.
- The Red/Blue/Green and Gold/Silver remakes came out I believe ten years after the originals; with Black and White 2 announced, that means Ruby/Sapphire remakes in 2013 (ten years after the originals) are impossible. However, a 2015 release for an Emerald remake is still possible.
- Since Generation 3 each Generation has had 5 "main" Pokemon games: the two new games, the third game that has a slightly different focus and adds some stuff, and then two remakes. If Generation 5 continues this five game trend but we're getting Black/White and Black/White 2, then we have room for only one remake - and Emerald fits that bill.
- Emerald was an amalgamation of Ruby and Sapphire; both legendaries from the previous games were catchable, both Team Aqua and Team Magma acted as helpers and antagonists. In addition the Battle Frontier was added and we had new trainers to battle outside of it too.
- This one is mostly proof that we will get at least Ruby/Sapphire remakes, and it's because we have every single region except for Hoenn (and, by extension, the Pokemon there) on the DS.
If I can think up any others I'll add them in later, but to me this is proof enough.
