I'm so excited for the remakes! I skipped buying Platinum (I have Diamond) to save for HeartGold and/or SoulSilver. From what I have seen, the improvements and new features, combined with the inherent awesomeness of the second generation, should make these two babies the best Pokémon games yet.

Shadow, according to Serebii.net, the two Pichu in that screenshot are Pikachu-Colored Pichu and Notched-Ear Pichu; there seems to be an event involving them at Ilex forest.

I have Silver, so I'm probably going to get HeartGold this time around. The HG logo is a lot better than the SS logo too, so that might influence my decision (being a designer/artist P: )

As for the 3D game, I would love a fully 3D RPG. Yet, I think that a 4th Gen Stadium--with all the original Stadium features and more--would be far more interesting. I have beaten both Stadiums, but the newer games do not excite me as much. In fact, I've only played Colosseum, and I do not intend on getting the others.
