Tis good news for pokemon fans...good news indeed.

I'm wondering if they will add a bit more to the GS remake like they did with Fire red and Leaf green. Other than just the Kanto region after the Elite Four. : L

This is good because it will mean that they'd have fixed the broken internal battery issue, making it actually worthwhile to play the game to completion. On top of things, I hope they make it viable to complete the pokedex by trading within the same generation of cartridges some how.

If they can do that then I say woot! It'd be a good stop for the nostalgic, and certainly be a treat for the whole generation that never actually played the game.

Wait what? Care to explain that a bit in depth?

If the battery dies, you lose the save game, and there's no way to recharge it?

Lost my original Gold that way.

Ive got an old red version, battery still hasnt died. I must have some super battery or something. My silver died, though.

I haven't had that happen to me to any of my old pokemon games. I must be lucky O.o

EDIT: Gameplay footage at 4:20 then ends at like 4:33 D :  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq9Xt3FJH80)

G/S had an internal clock, which meant the battery was under constant duress. R/B/G didn't have that feature. All of those old gameboy cartridges that sported a save game feature would've had an internal battery and will die eventually, but they don't die anywhere near as fast as G/S would due to that 24/7 clock.

Since the memory was tied to the battery, it went out with the bath water.

I honestly hope they don't make this game exclusively for the DSi, because I recently bought a limited edition DS for my birthday and I don't want to replace it so soon :<

Either way, this news makes me extremely happy inside. <3

Umm, the DSi Takes the same sd cards as the DS does it not?  The only difference is that the DSi doesn't support the older games from the gba as far as I know..

I think Keaton means that it shouldn't be in the DSi game shop, which I highly doubt. They usually put "small" games in the shop for the Wii and DSi.

I had the silver version but lost it when I switched apartments. Also, the other forum I'm a part of is also talking about it which isn't a big surprise considering the comic it's for is based on a pokemon game.

The wounds caused by Duke Nukem Forever being canceled have just been healed instantaneously.

BWEEEEEEE!!  :boogie

Now my Houndoom can visit her Native Land again...sorta 8D

OO! I hope they keep that one old guy that made pokeballs out of acorns OvO

...And put back Headbutt as a way to get pokemon out of trees as well as putting Honey on the bark. Or replace it xD

If you're able to always have a critter out, especially if not just your starter, it'll already be worth it. Gold, Silver and Crystal were, are, and will still be the best ones in the series.

Oh lord yes.

I've been dying to have various pokemon follow me around XD

I'm so excited!...Except i JUST got Platinum and can't get another video game until i get a job.

Or bribe my grandparents for monies.

:U

I'm quite excited for these new games  :3

Gold/Silver/Crystal have been my most enjoyed generation EVAR, and many of my favorite Pokemon are from the first and second gens anyway. I remember trying to make a list of favorite Pokemon and noticed I barely had any pokemon from the 3rd and 4th gen   :<

I figure now's a good time to update this topic with a ton of new info:

• Kris (the female player of Crystal) has apparently been replaced   :<
• Regardlss of which player charcter you choose, the other one will still show up in game as a Psudo-Rival (This first appeared in RS but the feature did NOT return in FRLG)
• Cyntha, the Champion of DPPl, shows up in the Ruins of Alph if you have an event Arceus and allows you to catch Level 1 Palkia, Dialga, or Gritania
• Eusine, a charcter exculsive to Crystal, is returning with much the same role.
• Groudon and Kyogre will appear in SS and HG, respectively, after the Elite Four, and Rayquaza can be caught in both games if the opposing member is brought into the game.
• Instead of Super Contests, a new event called a Pokéthlon appears.
• The first pokemon on team will now follow behind you much like Pikachu in Yellow and Amity Square from DPPl. All 493 pokemon can follow you
• The game come a Pedometer called PokéWalker. You can store a single pokemon inside it and as you walk (or just shake it) the Pokemon inside gains EXP and Happiness.
• A special event featureing a "Noched ear Pichu" will happen if you have a "Pikachu Color Pichu" from an event

• Moderators get annoyed at you for necroing a dead thread.
• If it happens again, there will be bannage.
• Don't let me catch you doing it.
