Even if you’re just a young squirt, you will feel old when you read this next sentence. In order to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of Pokemon Gold and Silver versions (GBC), Nintendo is in the works of producing remakes for them. Yes, it’s been 10 years. The games will be called Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

The Gameboy Color Pokemon games, Gold and Silver, were some of the most popular and most renowned titles in the Gameboy Color library. Just the same, those games were also some of the most popular among Pokemon fans in general. So it seems fitting as we’re coming up on the 10th year anniversary of these games for Nintendo to remake these titles with modern technology and give the Pokemon Franchise a facelift from the past.

The details are few and far between at this point, but the fine folks at GBATemp have come up with some very nice scanned images of an issue of CoroCoro, a Japanese magezine. I highly encourage anyone who is interested to check out the scans on their website. The following “release hints” listed below are stolen directly from GBATemp.

• Japanese release date is September 11th, 2009
• Pre-orders start on July 20th, same date as the new movie
• It is hinted at that the Kanto region will be available
• New wi-fi features included, “building on what was established with Diamond and Pearl, and Platinum.”
• The player can choose either a male or female character. However, the female character is NOT the female from Crystal version. She’s a completely new character.
• There will apparently be a skateboard involved? It’s speculated that it may be an addition to the bicycle or possibly replace it (not likely)
• The PokeGear has been redesigned
• There appears to be some sort of Pichu event in Ilex Forest.

Stay tuned to find out more about Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver as it comes in.
