The president of The Pokémon Company admited that the original Gold and Silver were intended to be the last in the series. However the success of Pokémon Gold and Silver forced him to change his mind since it was selling faster than Red and Green.
"Remakes are cheap, easy, nostalgic and give younger gamers a chance to play a classic they missed due to being in the womb. After major gaming conglomerates (mostly Capcom) realized how much money they could make more and more have been popping up these days.
Within the next year gamers will see a good number of remakes; check out a handful that we can’t wait to get our grubby little paws on."
"We learned on the 7th that "Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver," the second entry in the popular RPG series, originally released on the Gameboy system in November of 1999, will be remade for the Nintendo DS this autumn under the titles "HeartGold" and "SoulSilver." New elements will be added in this tenth anniversary return to the Johto Region.
A continuation of the original series (Pocket Monsters Red, Green, Blue, and Pikachu), Gold and Silver recorded remarkable sales of 23,000,000 copies ..."
Take this with the most precious grain of salt: a user on the NeoGAF forums not only confirms the Pokemon Gold/Silver remakes and additional features, but also confirms once more on DSi Virtual Console of Game Boy games.
Also, another Pokemon Battle Revolution-style game is expected to be announced at E3.
NOT ONLY THAT, but he even drops word of an idea tossed around right now at Nintendo: re-releasing Pokemon Red and Blue on the DSi VC AND having them connect to Pokemon Stadium on the ...
Pokemon fansites all over the web are going absolutely nuts over a recent imminent announcement of a major Pokemon game.

#9 Torchic
Most birds are ugly, poop all over the place and look better smothered in Tabasco. Torchic, despite looking delicious, is one of those rare birds we can't help but go awwwwww over. It's cute, it's clumsy and ..."
"#10 Happiny
It's not like Happiny isn't cute. We would love to pick it up and squish it. It's just that Happiny looks like Kirby in drag, and although Nintendo's pink puffball loves dressing up, we just never envisioned him prancing around as a girl. Hey, we'd love him no matter what he looked like."
What do you get when the hugely popular Pokemon series barges its way into Nintendo's DS Lite fabrication facility looking for some ego-bolstering glory? What you get is everyone standing aside while the Pikachu DS Lite is born. Prepare for them to be rarer than rocking horse dung!
