If Nintendo remakes Paper Mario 1, what are the odds that they turn the charming characters into their generic versions?

They did do it before so the answer is yes but not to a level of serious concern
I'm just saying if you turn skeleton donkey kong into a normal skeleton I'm gonna notice.
Yes. That's clearly what I meant. And not, I dunno, people losing their shit and jumping to needless conclusions in every gaming related thread.
The named characters would probably keep their looks, more or less (remember when NPCs in a Mario RPG actually had names? Good times). Everything else will get the boring homogenized "on-model" makeover, though.

Man, I don't want to change my avatar because people think Paper Mario fans are annoying now....
I set the announcement thread to ignore because it was too distracting. Since doing that, my mind is more at peace. The series is different now, and if you have access to the first two games, consider yourself blessed to be there when those games came out.

I'd say a remake itself is close to zero percent, but don't forget SuperStar Saga did literally what OP is saying.
*Paper Mario fans being rather consistent with their criticisms of the series for the past 8 years*
*A new game is announced which looks to yet again ignore most of the criticisms while making baby steps forward in regards to a few of them*
*A single person makes a hyperbolic thread out of exasperation*
"Gosh why do Paper Mario fans suck so much?"

How? Someone just posted the comparison. You still had tons of unique characters.
Nintendo attracts a special kind of obsessive hate boner, but I think we reached the trough the looking glass territory
im afraid of what nintendo will do. it could be very bad. nintendo fears good and original character design these days. and as we all know: fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. in this case, my suffering... of generalized characters in a paper mario remake.
If Nintendo remakes Doshin the Giant, what are the odds they completely butcher the soundtrack by replacing it with just the sound of tambourines and gongs and bongos banging furiously over and over again on loop for the entirety of the game
How does it feel waking up in the morning and just seething at the thought of a Paper Mario remake that doesn't even exist.
I don't like the image in the OP because it wants to imply the bottom row is your generic set set of partners whereas it's not even known if the game has partners, and if it's based on characters who followed mario around in the trailer then most of the row wasn't even there, and the Toad explorer is conveniently missing. Jumping the gun all around.
Also I don't think the og paper mario was a beacon of diversity, most of these are generic-looking mario characters with a twist.

That image doesn't have everything. Basically if an enemy or NPC has a normal design, they're swapped with a generic version. Obviously you can't replace Cackletta with a damn Goomba and have the same story, but you can replace a unique looking big beefy looking Koopa with a generic resized normal Koopa as the game does.
Nintendo generally doesn't do things of that nature. They usually seem to not only appreciate what characters used to look like, but will flaunt old character models compared to newer ones in a manner that's completely unapologetic. Like the 2d parts in Mario Odyssey, Mario RPG, or the hodgepodge that is Smash Bros and Mario Kart.
this and concern trolling is 100% what this thread is and it's not even pretending to be otherwise

*does a whole bunch of a cool different stuff, much evidence to the contrary of 'ignoring criticism' in regards to battles and environment and writing, specific info available about it returning to RPG elements*
"sorry this 2 minute clip has killed all of my hope for Paper Mario, i don't see unique partners and the same battle system, it's all over"
ya'll have been stung too many times and it shows. not even waiting for any real info before declaring it a failure to meet your expectations is not a great sign of a healthy fanbase.

They clearly like sticking with the — I'll put their likely positive spin on it — "iconic" characters at this point, but they're not going to undesign characters in a remake just to spite you.
