Japanese website here and Serebii has confirmed it. It's official.

I nearly hyperventilated upon discovering this news :]

Yeah, I can't wait.

Gold/Silver were the best.

[Stars]

Gold/Silver were the best.

Except Yellow was better.

But yay nonetheless.

Only good things about Yellow was the ability to get all the starters and the unique Pikachu thing, otherwise it was just Red/Blue/Green again.

I love Gold/Silver for being so long and having both regions in the game.

[rekaru]

Emerald was quite lengthy if you traveled to the Battle Frontier. I recall just one silver symbol taking me a little more than 10 hours to get. Something to note is that it took me 36 hours-ish to complete the main quest in Emerald (8 Badges, Elite Four), and around the same amount of time to finish all of G/S/C (16 badges, sidequests, red). The sheer size of Hoenn is amazingly large, equivalent to both regions. G/S/C only seemed longer because there were more badges...And if that doesn't satisfy you then there's still the 14 Symbols in the Battle Frontier. The "ultimate trainer" Red was replaced by Steven in Emerald and I didn't miss the night/day feature too much. So why do I still favor Crystal? Nostalgia perhaps. Meh.

Also someone might shoot me for saying this but I disliked the First Generation, possibly because my first pokemon game was Silver..that means I'm set on obtaining SoulSilver first.

Hoenn is big, but it's really boring compared to Johto and Kanto. And I wasn't that big of a fan of Battle Frontier.

So...

I saw a rumor yesterday that these were going to be revealed soon. Didn't know it would be the very next day though. =p

I'll probably be getting one of these since I've never played a Gen II game.

*still hasn't finished pearl*

*still hasn't finished anything above Yellow ... despite playing most of them*

[Hyperlisk]

I still haven't finished Diamond/can't even find my cart for it...

But I will definitely steal buy this.

Emerald was the best! >.<

Pfft. Crystal/Silver totally wins.

Also, I beat you all to it. :p Found it last night.

Found what?

This was like announced a week ago..it's just publicly officially announced yesterday.

In fact, when I mentioned it like 3~4 days ago, Hyperlisk called it old.

[rekaru]

Yeah, I heard of the rumor earlier this week. I just didn't want to make the topic or get my hopes up until everything was official. So take your gloating elsewhere :p

Also, there is an amazing remix of the R/S/E rival battle.

That remix is awesome.

[Stars]

Agreed.
And the animated bit is quite enthralling when you're still only half awake.

[Stars]

I think I'm going to get this. Silver was my most complete game, for sure. I only had like 20ish to get for the complete collection.

[rekaru]

Serebii has uploaded pictures.

[Stars]

Those pictures make it look like your starter (or lead pokemon, perhaps) follows you around like Pikachu in Yellow. =o

[Monkeydog]

Gold/Silver were the best.

Except Yellow was better.

Now the one really good thing about Yellow will be in Gold/Silver. :P

[Maelstrom]

G/S were the worst, imo. I totally hate the lineup of possible pkmn. I srsly do. >.>

For me r/s and r/b were the best ones.
