When Nintendo announced Pokémon Gold Heart and Soul Silver remakes, it was only a few days after that we caught a glimpse of some gameplay. Of course, the gameplay video didn't reveal anything on the game other than the ability to walk around, but the latest issue of CoroCoro (transcribed by the fine folks at GAF) in Japan thankfully tells us a bit more.

First of all, each title finally has a firm release date: September 11. On July 20, Japanese gamers will be able to preorder each game, which feature a few changes from the classics they are derived from. For one, you'll have the ability to choose between a female and male trainer now, and it's hinted that you'll even get to ride around on a skateboard. On top of that, your Pokegear seems to have received an update (including a camera), and a few familiar Pokemon (and places) have received a refresh, naturally. The games are even going to feature expanded Wi-Fi settings, building on what was established with Diamond and Pearl, and Platinum.

And all of you North American trainers, know that Nintendo is planning to bring both Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver your way. Sure, you probably had little doubt in your mind, considering how much Nintendo loves money, but just to help assuage any fears you may have, we present some US trademarks Nintendo filed, courtesy of Siliconera. Both Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon Soul Silver are listed, so turn your cap backwards and get ready to catch 'em all ... at an unconfirmed later date.
