Bobandbiil i think your wrong. Why? This shiny pichu is being advertised as pikachu colored. The normal shiny sprite for pichu is orange. Why advertise a special coloring for a pokemon to get it in game when there is no game for it! Sit on that for a moment and if you can prove that its not one bit close to revealing a gs remake then well fine. But im telling you expect a pichu thats female instead of male to be given out as well and then transfered to gsds to be notch eared.
Ah, but as I said...
...Pichu-with-different-ears and the shiny Pichu are one of the weakest 'evidence' for a GS remake.
Just saying that I feel it is only really a minor piece of evidence at best, instead of ruling it out from being any sort of hint towards GS remak. =P I'd say though that IMO, it's minor enough to not warrent any need for a GS remake to be announced now. And remember, games that are being made 9if they are, of course...) can get delayed quite easily.
I for instance think that the inclusion of the 3 Johto starters and the in-game coding in 4th gen games are be far greater 'indicators' of a GS remake coming to fruitation, or that at least they have been considered. Pichus with notched ears... just seem really minor and would give a GS remake somewhat less of a chance to occur if it was the sole piece of 'evidence' compared to those others.
Also I'll add that this isn't really
that spectaular, when you notice that the Pikachu line - and unique ones - have been frequently made into Pokemon events, ever since early on until now, like the Pichus and the Surfing Pikachu in PBR. Which for me does slightly diminish the possible GS-reference the Pichu will hold. =/ Probably there is some vague one there, but...yeah. Nothing that apparent or significant, really.
Don't see why the gender of either one will matter either, tbh.
And randomly commenting on the colour... well, I don't follow stuff that much (especially since I don't watch the anime/lack of Pokemon movie exposure where I live and all), but a Pichu that has a similar colour to Pikachu...umm, yay? I personally don't get it that much. Heck, it's not that far off from being the colour of a Pikachu anyway. =/
(For those unsure about this recently-mentioned Pichu:
