I don't mind them putting Hidden Power in without showing you the type provided they have an available supply of Kecleons, which is admittedly unlikely.
 
Isn't hidden power usually, "hidden"?

Also, any clues on how alternate forms will be handled in-game? I'd imagine Shaymin-S and Rotom-A to be the biggest issues, as the ability to change their forms was only avaiable through Key Items found only in Pokemon Platinum (and remember, "it was part of the story" too).

I don't think that they will allow key items to just be all of a sudden available for no reason at all. My guess it something about mixing records and making a side arc with some relation to Pokemon Platinum. They made the Eon Ticket available by mixing records.

Now that nature effects are visible i really wish hidden power type was as well, a little colour change would do :/

Well in Platinum in the Game Corner in Velistone City there is a guy that tells you what Type of Hidden Power your Pokemon is. They might not tell you by colouring in the Hidden Power move a different colour in HG/SS but there might be another NPC that does.

The games have been officially announced and made public to the US. Hopefully soon we'll get real release dates soon, and not just the spring 2010 like most predicted.

Edit: It's also been announced on Pokemon.com, with a video preview attached.
 
damn, we're keeping the names heartgold and soulsilver. Wile they aren't the worst names ever, I know me and many others hoped we'd get better name in the transition to english.

Two New Pokémon Games Announced for Nintendo DS

Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version to Hit United States and Europe in Spring 2010

In Tribute to Legions of Pokémon Fans Worldwide, Announcement Kicked Off Pokémon World Championships

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo of America Inc. revealed today that Pokémon™ HeartGold Version and Pokémon™ SoulSilver Version for the Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems will be released in spring 2010 in the United States and Europe. These newest entries for the best-selling video game franchise were announced amid the biggest Pokémon video game event of the year and in front of the top Pokémon video game and trading card game players in the world at the 2009 Pokémon World Championships.

Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version return players to the scenic Johto region first introduced in the beloved original Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver games nearly a decade ago. The richly detailed adventure of Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver is now enhanced for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems with updated graphics and sound, as well as new touch-screen features and a host of surprises. Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version bring dozens of Pokémon characters back into the limelight for a new Pokémon generation – and longtime fans – to catch, train and battle.

“Announcing these much-anticipated game launches at The Pokémon World Championships allows us to give the news directly to the legions of fans who represent the true heart and soul of Pokémon,” said J.C. Smith, The Pokémon Company International’s director of marketing, who made the announcement on stage to kick off the 2009 Pokémon World Championships. “We want to thank these loyal fans by revealing the details to them first.”

The launch of Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version follows the incredible launch of Pokémon Platinum Version, which has sold more than 5.66 million copies worldwide to date.

Pokémon is one of the top children’s franchises in history. The Pokémon video game series has sold more than 193 million units worldwide since its inception 13 years ago. Additionally, Pokémon is the No. 1 collectible trading card game of all time and has shown no sign of slowing down. It boasts 374 percent sales growth in the United States alone since 2005, and is sold in more than 30 countries across the globe. Other extensions of the property include 12 seasons of the animated television series, which in 2009 will be broadcast in as many as 153 countries in more than 25 languages. Pokémon films and DVDs continue to reach fans in amazing numbers, ranking at the top of the box office in Japan.

Quite cool, I might even buy this one, or at least a future third version of this (shining crystal? although experience with fr/lg shows that they don't make a third version of remakes usually).

does this mean we get curse tms, extremespeed dratini, etc.?

I'd rather they hold a lv.50 Extremespeed Dragonite event with variable nature than an in-game x-speed Dratini. Although this seems unlikely.

They do look pretty crappy.


Aside from that, are the sprites for all of the pokemon changed or only for Jhoto and Kanto?

The logo's look bland.

I am assuming that all of the sprites change for pokemon. They are different from game to game even if it is a small change.
 
It would be safe to assume all Johto pokes receive new sprites. Kanto pokes, I'm not too sure about them. I think pokemon native to Hoenn do not obtain new sprites at all, whereas Sinnoh Pokémon retain their Platinum sprites (Unless they make random changes like in Ninetales' and Hitmonlee's case in Platinum).
