Pokémon Gold and Silver To Be Remade?

That would be awesome. Hopefully it's true; SIlver is by far the best entry in the series, in my opinion, and I'd love to play a graphically-enhanced version with more features.

Those are my favorite Pokemon titles (well, silver), so I might just have to shell out for them. Better than shelling out for Platinum at least, since I already have Diamond.

Insta-buy if you ask me. Bad luck the releasedate is already set to Begin 2010 for US/EU so we still have a long wait.

If they remake a Pokemon game, and they make it for the DS/i, the smartest thing they can do (imo) is to make it NOT look like a GBA game.

Take a page from the Final Fantasy remake notebook, and make it something pretty.

Gold and Silver and Crystal were the last Pokémon games I really loved before i started hating Pokémon
Maybe these remakes can bring me back

I'd like for this to really be the announcement of the DSi VC at long last, headlined by these two games; I suppose a remake is more likely, however.

Also, what the heck is the Pokemon Sunday show? That screenshot looks crazy.

All I got to say is if its for a DSi Virtual Handled; hence a Virtual Console like that NEEDS TO BE ANNOUNCED for the DSi... come on!!!!
Also NO WIIWARE REMAKE!!!!!!! That TMNT Turtles in Time WiiWare Remake Artical on NintendoLife made me UTTETLY UTTERLY UPSET!!!

Why Gold and Silver?
Why not Red and Blue?
In my opinion Red and Blue are my favorite in the series by far. All of the original, classic Pokemon are found there and that`s why I love it so.

Over the last couple years or so Pokemons image of fun, has been getting smudged more and more the more they seem to add more Pokemon...

@crono
Red and Blue have already been remade.

While I really, REALLY want this remake, I'm kind of hoping that Gold&Silver would be lineups for Virtual Handheld (I seriously doubt it, though).

Gold and Silver were the best! After G/S all of the Pokémon games started getting rather repetitive.

How many people here saw the "leaked" boxart for the DS remake that showed up on the internet a few months ago?

@Nintendork : I'd rather have the remake than see this released on the Virtual Handheld, because then I'd have to get a DSi

World exclusive?

I sure hope we get these remakes.

This will sell like hot cakes guaranteed. If it's true, I will pre-order and then insta-buy, seeing as Gold was and still is the best Pokemon game ever made imo.

I was thinking that there would be a totally new genre of Pokémon.

Purely speculation for now. We REALLY need a new Stadium style game. Battle Revolution was terrible. XP

AWESOME! i'll grab a Silver remake right away

I'll most likely skip it. Since I don't have much of a reason not to assume that this'll pale in comparison to the original games.

I doubt they'll do the games justice, but it took them dang long enough to get on with this project. I'm going to assume they're already at least half way done.

Also, Celebi needs an in-game location to be catchable, worldwide. This had better be fixed in these.

I think it'd be awesome if they added one of the most intriguing, yet strangely ignored, additions to GS: different sprites for each Pokemon in each version; such as a different sprite of Cyndaquil in Gold to the sprite in Silver. I must admit that Silver's sprites looked kinda neat-they were always (usually) in some kind of pose.

I'm not a big Pokemon fan anymore, but Gold and Silver are still my favorite editions of the series by a good margin, so I think I'd double dip for them.

OK, who was the NL crew member watching Pokemon Sunday TV in Japanese? Hands up. Don't be shy, Chicken.

Zzzzzz...

@ 20. Adam:
I'm pretty sure they saw the update on Serebii, found a screenie from somewhere, and quickly wrote up the article. That's kinda how journalism works.

On second thought..maybe I'll just play the old GB version of Silver instead. I am done with Pokemon. Its just too slow and non-evolving of an RPG series. (said by an owner of Red, Silver, Diamond)

You can't play the gba remakes of red/blue on a dsi though.

I hope they go the vc route!

This is an insta-buy for me if that's true.

@ 22 King Elemento
Actually, I'm pretty sure they got it from Kotaku, since that is the source listed. I was making a joke, but apparently it wasn't very funny. That's kinda how my jokes work.

Do want.

But you know what I'd want even MORE, Ninty? That's right: the original Gold and Silver available on the DSi Shop. ; ) (That said, if they release these rumoured remakes and then bring out the original ones, I'd get all of the versions... that's the kind of sucker I am for Pokémon.)

(Does a dance on his couch that makes him look like Tom Cruise) YES! I AM IN LOVE! YES!

Maybe they could release the originals on DSi shop a month or two in advance to psyche up/help everyone catch up. Then BOOM! Release the remakes and the whole world explodes like on that Nintendo Power commercial where the kid eats the magazine...

I came.

I saw.

Never played gold but.... Sliver is the best and Lugia IS the best pokemon ever.

@Party on Dude
You have an unhealthy addiction to you Shift key. It's disappointing, but calm down!

Damn, I want the original blue and red.
That would be awesome not that crappy fire red and leaf green.
Pokemon Blue pwns all
Squirtle is the best!!!!

@ 26. Adam:
Ah, I didn't see that. XD
I only said that because I know a lot of people get Pokémon news from Serebii, so yeah.

@Party On Dude: Your big writing scares me.

>.> Well, much I loved Silver, think I am going to wait till the Crystal version to come out seeing how they love throwing in a third entry a year or two later.

Holy crap that would be cool

Me, I'm still holding out for a better Wii Pokémon game to come out. I'd rather have something new for my old Pokémon to do.

Yes! G/S are such great games, and having D/P/P graphics and features makes it the best Pokemon game IMO.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If there really is going to be a remake I'm gonna be one of the FIRST to get it!
