there had been a meme in the pokemon fandom for years on end abt a hoenn remake. it was used with the same logical thinking as illumnati conspiracy theories (THESE LETTERS SPELL OUT HOENN IF YOU REARRANGE THEM RIGHT) "hoenn confirmed" was the rallying cry

but then, on one fateful day around 2014, hoenn...was confirmed. everyone in the fandom pissed themselves all at the same time

they were right.
