You can't recreate RBY.

1. Much of why everyone loves RBY was the experience; everyone being crazy over Pokémon and playing the game. Not something you can recreate
2. Keeping the graphics intact is not what everyone wants; people who are nostalgic over the graphics are in a "Haha oh man those were SO bad" way, not a "Man, graphics were so much better back then" way.
3. The outdated mechanics are integral to the original game's experience.
4. Gamefreak is not going to recreate the glitches and those are also where a lot of the nostalgic love for RBY comes from (see-Missingno v. Crono/Sephiroth).
5. It's no longer a port at the point where they've added in all these mechanics and Wifi.

Basically, what you're proposing is take RBY graphics and add some new mechanics; basically Fr/Lg if they didn't change the graphics and were made 2 generations later. This is inherently a terrible idea that defeats the entire reasoning behind making the remake-nostalgia.
