Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Version

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are Generation IV's remakes of the original Generation II games, Pokémon Gold and Silver. Nintendo announced that the games are slated for a 2009 Fall release in Japan.

It is expected that these remakes will incorporate the many advancements that the series has undergone since Generation II, much like FireRed and LeafGreen to Red and Green. There is still no information considering the release of these games outside of Japan.
