Kotaku - Pokemon Gold And Silver Getting DS Remakes - Pokemon

I didn't get Platinum cause I new this was coming out. I'm so excited. Gold and Silver were my favorite generation. Totodile is awesome!

[Evastio]

It seems real enough.

That'd also explain the 2nd Generation Starters being in the 12th movie with Arceus (scroll down to see what I mean). Though it's really strange that they released Platinum before this.

(notices I'm not showing my excitement)

I am going to be looking forward to this though.

We finally get access to Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, and Ho-oh without events or other brutal tasks (completing the Hoenn Dex, beating Mt. Battle's Trainers 1 to 100 without changing Pokemon or quitting, purifying all 48 Shadow Pokemon, etc). I hope they'll somehow include the 3rd and 4th Generation Pokemon without straying from the original too much, like they did in FireRed and LeafGreen (as in FR and LG did a good job at restriction 2nd Generation access since it was only possible after defeating the Elite Four).

One thing I'm really hoping for is being able to transfer Pokemon from the DS games to the GBA games. It most likely won't be possible, but there's always a chance. Gold and Silver was when backwards compatibility was first introduced so that'll help boost the likelihood of that happening.

DO FREAKING WANT

It's to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Gold/Silver's release.

Who's up for some Wi-Fi battling when it comes out overseas?

[Fonzie]

I was going to make this. =[

Oh well, I'm smurfing excited as hell.

[Blue Harvest]

We all knew it was going to happen sooner or later. It's supposed to be coming out in autumn in Japan so I estimate spring 2010 for America and summer for everywhere else.

[Jessweeee♪]

Hooray! I loved Silver. Especially when I found out I get to go back to Kanto n.n

[Iceglow]

The irony is we should have all grown out of pokemon games and yet our little gamer hearts leapt for joy and a manical smile of glee crossed all our faces with this announcment. I will never grow up enough to be considered an adult lol.

[Bunny]

Those are such terrible names.

[Depression Moon]

I would be a little excited, but I have no DS and probably won't for a few years.

[Rase]

And... sold.

I haven't enjoyed a Pokemon game since Gold and Silver, but playing through Gold again last year was still fun. I just wish they had not made the names so randomly dumb.

[scrumpleberry]

Those are such terrible names.

I nearly laughed at them, but they were so bad all I could manage was a snerrrk.

Gosh, Ruby and Sapphire'll be getting remakes now, the rate they're going!

But I'm not complaining. I think sticking to the current roster of pokemon and doing fun things with those pokemon is the best way to go, they're getting incredibly unoriginal already.

[Vermachtnis]

Those are such terrible names.

Yes they are. Me and some people came up with Shining Silver and Glittering Gold as better names. Not much better, but still.

[Skyblade]

I prefer the names to Fire Red and Leaf Green.

Not an unexpected announcement at all, but still one that I was pleased to hear. Gold and Silver were great games (not quite as good as XD, but better than any other games in the Pokemon series), and it will be nice to return to their region.

You don't grow out of Pokémon. If you do, consider yourself a stiff and boring adult.
