THIS IS NO JOKE LIKE THE OTHER TIMES!
"It's official. Pokémon Gold and Silver will be remade — something that was hinted at last weekend on Japan's Pokémon Sunday TV program.

The tenth anniversary remakes will be called Pokémon Heart Gold and Poké Soul Silver — much akin to the Fire Red and Leaf Green Gameboy Advance remakes of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green.

The original Gold and Silver sold 23 million copies worldwide. Expect the DS remakes this autumn in Japan with newly added elements."-Kotaku

Here are the logos for the games


and here is a video of the very first gameplay.

I have to say I'm real excited for this game it looks great so far. The game is said to come out fall of this year in Japan so expect it about this time next year for the states.

Enjoy your watered down, linear regions.

I hate this generation, otherwise I would have beat you to the news, since this has been out for about a week.

You know dude this is one thing I dont think anybody could make me feel bad about. I have been waiting for this thing sence the online game was made. I still find the game fun to this day. To me I feel the 3rd gen is the worst gen of all time.

My interest in Pokemon just increased a tiny bit. Will have to wait to see how things turn out. I still play my silver version in the car more than any of my DS games.

Does it matter the pokemon only follow you for like an hour or two during the game.

I personally am waiting for this to come out. I loved Gold and Silver more than any of the others, due in part because of the fact you could also go to Kanto. I really hope they'll make a game with more than two regions sometime in the near-enough future.

In other news: Teej runs a Pokemon news site?

This has peaked my interest. Gold and Silver were awesome, and Fire Red and Leaf Green were really well done-remakes, in my opinion. They kept pretty true to the originals and cleaned up some nasty things from the originals.

Gold and Silver had a great concept, it just kind of sucked because it was so easy, the Elite Four being only between levels 40 and 50, it was kind of pathetic... so we'll see how this one goes, no?

Eh... there's still quite a bit of a gap. Red's Pokemon Are High 70s, low 80s, which is a good 15 level gap between the last of the Kanto Gym Leaders as I recall. I dunno though, it's been a long time since I last played.

Dammit TJ stop being an asshole. It's just Pokemon.

Gold and Silver are actually my favorites since the first Poke I played was japanese Gold..I think. And I had no idea about shinies and let a shiny Spearow get away. Lol.

I'll probably not get these though. I'm sure they're going to be "compatible" with the DSi and not the old DS.

Wow...last Pokemon game I played was probably Crystal.
Silver was my favorite of the original GB series...can't wait for this to come out.
Definitely buying Soul Silver.
All I need to do is go buy a DS again. :S

Pokemon Heart Gold is a remake of Pokemon Gold, a game which first came out in 2,000. It includes revamped graphics, various new Pokemon, and new forms of previously existing Pokemon. The game also offers a special challenge after the main story is completed, in which the main character travels to the Hoenn region to catch one of two titans that fought 3 years earlier. New characters include Lunah, the Dark type gym leader of Hoenn, and Sakura, the gardening enthusiast. Supports wi-fi connection and comes with a pedometer.

So, listen folks. Not one, not two, but THREE regions! As expected, rather than add some meat onto Johto, they are merely filling up the cart with another watered down area!

Oh also to tie up the loose ends from earlier axl, all pokemon confirmed to follow you forever.

Well I for one will get this game, it's cool, and I used to have the old Gold version, this will be a reminder for me. I have to get the Heart Gold version in memory of my old Gold Version game. And adding a new region, making your Pokemon follow you, the new stuff, it's all so cool I can't wait!

Interesting. Three regions? Oh my holy mother of the living Cyborg Pirate Ninja Bajeesus of the Pentanity of Neverwhere. That is gonna be awesome. Definately on my list now!

And hai. Look who's back. O:

i don't see how everyone is calling a third region awesome. The DS cart can only take so much so it more or less confirms the same watered down kanto and johto coupled with a watered down hoenn.
