If most predictions are correct, yes. That’s what thousands of Pokemon fans are expecting after a surprise announcement mentioning a new Pokemon game heading this way, after last weeks episode aired in Japan (with a certain gold and silver atmosphere). This seems like the most likely possibility, as Fire Red and Leaf Green were remade for Game Boy Advance, and the DS has yet to see any remakes. It would be interesting to see what new features are added into the game, and if there will be DSi support.

We will know on May 10th, when the next episode airs. Although a remake of a great game is always welcome, Nintendo may be shooting themselves in the foot if they use the Diamond and Pearl engine again, as they did with Platinum. I think both fans and casual players are looking for something new, and it would be wise for Nintendo to deliver.
