Why would they make a remake of a remake? We didn't have Ocean Blue and Thunder Yellow.
For those of you that haven't taken a closer look at the picture with Elm & Silver...

You can make out two important thing on the partially obscured map behind them: one, Cianwood's island has been expanded (it's huge now), with streams, forrests & bridges; two, there's a new town/area reaching out into the water just west of the National Park with what looks like an arena-like stadium of sorts.
This means they're adding in new locations to the old map to keep it fresh! :]
Now we just need a Jirachi event and I'm set.
serebii.net said:A few hours ago, another CoroCoro picture showed up on the Japanese forums. This one involves Jirachi. A special distribution of Jirachi is to begin on June 19th. It is at Level 5 and is said to have special attacks. It also unlocks a new area in Heart Gold & Soul Silver when traded over. The method of distribution is as of yet unknown but as soon as we are sure, we'll let you know
These remakes are going to be epic, there's no doubt about that. Albeit the sheer awesomeness of Gold and Silver finally being remade there is one thing bothering me; it's the simple fact that the Team Rocket Grunt's R isn't red, it looks more like a shade of Goldenrod. Hopefully this is just a scan issue or something, but Team Rocket just isn't Team Rocket without the red R.
Now I only need to get confirmation on Celebi.
And a wish for Mew. Then I would be satisfied. (spelled ?)
It's hard to tell because the scan's blurry, but it would make sense for Jirachi.This is purely speculation but that "special attack" that Jirachi is using in the screenshot looks oddly similar to Draco Meteor... It also fits with Jirachi's "space" theme and the supposed name of the new area it unlocks: "Edge of the Night Sky".
Jirachi using "special attack".
Draco Meteor
The attack is being used against the Pokemon closest to us by the Jirachi on the far side.
The Jirachi is distributed from a japanese McDonald's event. So probably no nicknaming.
