Video Game Remakes - A Type of Genre?

One thing that I've noticed as I grow up is the number of remakes to things like Disney movies, board games, and most of all video games. Pokemon is a game that I love to play and no matter how many times I tell myself not to buy the new one when it comes out, I usually end up doing so and it's usually because of one thing: it's a remake of a game I used to play years ago. My Pokemon game playing career started when I was 10ish and it was the Fire Red and Leaf Green games that I fell in love with. I continued to play each generation after that which soon led to the remakes of older generation games. Now, in 2018, the remake of Fire Red and Leaf Green has come out and it has caught my attention immensely.

I'm playing with the idea of a game remake being a genre within the genre of video games (so I guess a sub genre) because there are rules and strategies involved with making a remake. Considering audience is important because with Pokemon, its a kid's game as well as a game that adults would play because they used to play it when they were kids (like me). So not only does it need to entertain new players, it also has to have enough nostalgia for older players to feel like they are playing an updated version of the game they used to play years ago. I'll probably end up buying the game and trying it out because I can't resist and so I hope that it lives up to my expectations.
