Ooh. The remakes NEED to be split though, they're very different in every way except basic concept. Also, it would be reasonable to treat Pocket Monsters' Stadium and Pocket Monsters' Stadium 2 as two different products, for the same reason we treat any "'sequel' that looks like an 'upgrade" as separate.
Fun fact: both the naming thing and the sequel thing are quirks shared by Shin Sangokumusou; two series provide yet another pair of compelling reasons why we absolutely need to adhere to original names and treat all others as second-rate alternatives, fun facts of history... they simply are, as dictated by reality.
...Enough about that. I'm unsure about Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum; they're somewhat different products with a different focus, meant to be "separate" from the first pairs; Black/White 2 may have "more", but they're still very close to the likes of those in spirit and in raw changes.
