Question

Why did Nintendo make 2 Gen 1 remakes but not 2 remakes of every other gen?

Comments

Because generation 1 is the first generation?
Also, you are asking this right after LGPE.

---

because Generation 1 was more popular

---

to make more money, specifically from new Pokemon players/ Pokemon go players

---

Because Gen 1 is the oldest. There's no need for them to make another remake of anything past Gen 3, other than Gen 4, because they all came out recently, compared to Gen 1.

---

One word, Pikachu. Cause it's the main anime character and there is Pokemon Yellow so that is that.

---

Doesn’t this count as a comment?

---

It still answers it  But if you like I could edit it.

---

I don't think that Pikachu has anything to do with this.

---

Pokemon let's go eevee&pikachu. It is the second remake of gen 1 after all.

---

Moving this to a comment due to its lack of detail. You need to provide more than just a couple of lines when answering a question that invites explanation. (For example, why can you pin this down to Pikachu only, and not any other factor?)

---

Nostalgia makes money, especially considering a lot of Pokémon fans are adults

---

I think all of these comments could be formed into one answer tbh

---

Yep, this thread's a mess. Given that and the down votes, I won't allow more like them in future.

Answer 1

Well, Let’s Go was made to draw the Go players to the mainline games. FRLG were made either for money or for the sake of remaking it.

The main reason for remaking an old game is to bring attention to it or for money, bringing you in because of your nostalgia.

Although there is no definitive answer as to why, unless Gamefreak is willing to give you an answer.

Comments

When RS was released, some players didn't like how there were 386 Pokemon but they could only get 200 of them. They made FRLG to make more Pokemon obtainable.

I would also like to say that LGPE is the latest main-series game of Pokémon that has come out yet. So they might once do a LGPE styled Pokémon game for Johto once.

@SYl I highly doubt that. But it could be possible, I guess.
