On May 10th, Gamefreak (not me) is making a large Pokemon based announcement.
Speculation has it, that they'll be the remakes of Gold and Silver. I'll post news here as it comes forth, or if it's even true at all.
I would totally buy that. Here's hoping that they'll include a way of (finally) capturing Celebi and/or Mew.
I've already known about that.
For almost a week.
I need to find a way to import CoroCoro...
I only hope that they don't decide to make remakes of Generations 3 and 4 somewhere along the line... They're too recent and it would perpetuate a pattern of reusing old crap for gain.
Well if they do hold true to second gen tradition, they'll make everywhere available to travel.
I would love to see that. Or at the Kanto Johto and Hoenn.
And I can't wait for Team Rocket to finally be returned.
Also, the gym leader Jasmine needs a bigger role then she got in Platinum. She's awesome.
I'll be dreading that third gym battle though.. Darn miltank.
Oh, wow, I should totally let MasterKey know about this.
Yeah, Here is some info.

On the latest installment of the Japanese Pokemon series, Pokemon Sunday, the program ended with a very intriguing tease: Bulbanews reports that a "world-exclusive first announcement" will be made on the show next weekend, May 10 (via Kotaku).
So what will this world-exclusive announcement be? Evidently no specific information was stated about it, but the way the tease was presented seems to offer an important clue. As you can see in the accompanying screen grab, the tease was made as two (very cheap looking) gold and silver balls dangled precariously over the hosts' heads, which will open to reveal the announcement next week. Therefore, the obvious guess would be the announcement has something to do with Pokemon Gold and Silver, released for the Game Boy Color way back in 2000. And the obvious guess there is a possible remake for the DS.
Of course, that's two degrees of guesswork, so there's no telling what's actually going to be announced next week. But considering the original Red and Blue Game Boy titles were remade as FireRed and LeafGreen for the Game Boy Advance, it certainly wouldn't be out of character for Nintendo, would it?
When I find some information from CoroCoro or some other place I'll let you guys know.

The offical site for the show promises it to be 'a worldwide first announcement and a worldwide first big scoop'. One major clue the show's producers may have provided is in the colour of the Confetti-filled Party balls on the show;

Due to recent rumours and many hints contained within Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, fans speculate that Nintendo will finally be giving Johto (and by extension Kanto) a much-deserved retread on the DS.
Further adding fuel to the fire is that both Japanese Magazines Coro Coro (which has revealed new Pokemon games before) and Nintendo Dream are set to feature a 'much-talked-about big title', and both will be released after the airing of Pokemon Sunday.
Would other Pokemon fans here like to see Gold and Silver re-imagined on the DS?
... If you're looking for a GS remake, try Shiny Gold. Yeah, its a Fire-red rom hack, but its the best rom hack I've ever played. It feels so official. No grammar mistakes, or anything. It was really like an official remake. :)
OR I could but the official thing get multiplayer and the official maps.
I think I'll do that.
K, K, chill. ;)
It was just a helpful suggestion.
We don't even know if its going to be a G/S remake.
I'm kind of hoping more for a G/S remake on the Wii instead of the DS. That'd be killer!
No it wouldn't, it would be a waste of a disk, pokemon is great as a ds game because it's simple, making it on the wii they'd just make it 3D and ruin the style of the handheld pokemon games, the 3D style is great for colloseum but that's it.
Pokemon will always be a handheld dominant game hence the name Pocket monsters.
The creator said he made pokemon because he wanted modern day city kids to enjoy bug catching as he did when he was a child in rural Japan.
I hope it stays portable.
Also ZV i wasn't trying to be mean, I just don't like Hacks/roms.
Eh... I hope it stays portable, too, but if it were rendered in a 3D environment like in Ocarina of Time or something, then it would pwn even more. Free roaming! Exploration like no one's ever seen a Pokemon game! Not to say there's no exploration at all, but it would give it a great twist.
I had so wished for that for a G/S/C Remake...
OKAY BIG BIG NEWS!
GAMES ARE....
A G/S REMAKE CALLED HEART GOLD AND SOUL SILVER!
Coming out Fall of 09. For japan.
Nothing Else is known at this moment but...
It's good enough right?
They totally ran out of elements and minerals, didn't they? :P
Guess we saw it coming, though. Sweet!
Well it was just something that had to be tacked onto original colors.
Like Fire-red Leaf-Green.
Yeah.
But I'll keep my eye out for teh news.
I thought it was going to be Gold Dusk and Silver Dawn. :\
I like JQ's names better; they seem more original.
But why HeartGold and SoulSilver? Will there be a heart and soul twist or something? I kinda doubt it, but it sounds KH-esque to me.
I got my names from Bulbapedia. Apparently, they trade-marked those particular names...
Here's some logos for everyone:

Betcha twenty Internets I'm right.
Cause I got it from the official source.
Also verified by Serebii.
I'm more interested in the merchandising that will come from this; I'm very much looking forward to possible pokedolls of the legendary trio (or a re-release of the lugia/ho-oh with the new minky fabric) OR, even better, a remake of the giant (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pokeplushproject/2303461147/in/set-72157604020846028/) four (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pokeplushproject/2408059188/in/set-72157604020803438/) foot (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pokeplushproject/2406819078/in/set-72157604025050845/) mega (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pokeplushproject/2303475079/in/set-72157604020887886/) plush (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pokeplushproject/2304273908/in/set-72157604025125249/). ;; Such a pipe dream, but hey whatever. I can dream.
I probably will get ahold of information as the time comes, if you so wish- I could probably get pictures of the new merchandise (in Japan) and possibly screenshots (in Japanese) if anyone wants.
Oh and it's for rizzle. Got a friend in Japan who was relieved they finally announced it because of the sheer amounts of speculation everyone kept posting all over LiveJournal this past week.
Stinks I have no contacts in Japan or anything...
I just have to lurk the web.
Edit:
From Bulbapedia.
HeartGold and SoulSilver will be released in Japan this fall, possibly on or near Nov. 21, the 10th anniversary of the original release of their namesakes. International releases will likely come in mid-2010.
This is wonderful!
I'll definitely get the silver version, just beacsue I ALWAYS get the game you say second (Blue, Silver, Sapphire, Pearl), even though I doubt my brother will get the other, I might just have to get both : ). Shame they aren't remaking Crystal, but I suppose all the extra features in that will be in it anyway, I'll just miss the Suicune storyline thing.
G/S/C were definitely my favourite games.
I think they will put in Suicune, they always allow all the legends in the remakes.
It won't have the side-story of Suicune, though...
Also, 11/21 is the best date in the world ever.
I just hope they actually put effort into the Kanto storyline this time around.
I hope that they make everywhere, or at least up to hoenn, Available for Play.
That's why they didn't include Johto in FRLG...
Crystal was my favorite version.
Hey, maybe they'll bring the old pokeballs back. I wonder if Celebi will have a role at all now.
They need to release Celebi here.
You Mean the Apricot balls?
Those are fun.
I GOT PICS! All the info that was released on Pokemon Sunday was a 16 second clip of your character walking around with a chickorita.
Here is a pic.
Thank me later and be gald I'm giving you this info.
Joking, It's cool.
Also The Clip of the game is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4rPZe0CHBE) as 4:19
