A new legendary Pokemon, Diancie (Rock/Fairy) is due to be released soon. It's said to be a sudden transformation of Carbink, hence the many similarities. It will also star along with Yveltal (and possibly Xerneas) in the new movie 'The Cocoon of Destruction & Diancie'.
Also if you want to see what over 50,000 people playing a game of Pokemon Red/Blue together is like, have a look here:
twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon
Basically everyone gets to type in something out of a/b/up/down/left/right/start/select into the chat, and a bot inputs it into the game. I think they've managed to get into Celadon City after a few days. Also they keep selecting the Helix Fossil for some reason which is making people a little nuts and start worshipping it.
This being one of the results: askhelixfossil.com/
Whether they'll be able to make it to the end of the game given various ledges and screwing up Strength-moving boulder puzzles remains to be seen.

Yup, and over 70,000 people are playing now. They're on Cinnabar Island at this time of writing with 7 of the badges so far. Also Pidgeot is Bird Jesus, the Helix Fossil has been revived and Lord Helix the Omanyte is in his rightful place in the party, and the Dome Fossil's representative within the party was Flareon the False Prophet, showing Flareon still can't get a break any time, anywhere.
Also an anarchy vs democracy mode was added which works by votes on it's own. Anarchy works as originally planned by listening to all inputs, democracy means the game will only listen to moves chosen by the majority of players in an attempt to make it through some of the mazes without screwing up horribly with ease. They also managed to release 12 Pokemon in one recent day, it being known as Bloody Sunday.

The Twitch channel's creator recently revealed plans to continue with Twitch Plays Pokemon with the second generation - either Gold, Silver or Crystal.
The anonymous designer said earlier this week: "I've received a lot of requests to continue with the Pokemon franchise after the Elite Four and the Pokemon Champion get defeated, so I'm going to do that.
"I'm still deciding which of the generation two Pokémon games to go with."

Actually X and Y make you to pick one of the original three starter Pokemon (Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle) shortly after beating the first gym which is a nice touch, so if one hates the new Pokemon you could just replace your new starter with one of the original trio lol.
Santalune Forest is pretty much identical in Pokemon content (Weedle/Caterpie/Pikachu/etc), placing (comes before the first gym) and design to Viridian Forest on purpose, probably for that reason too, as well as Pidgey, Psyduck and Farfetch'd showing up in the near vicinity too, with Abra, Doduo, Oddish and Snorlax showing up not long after. Could probably easily go through the game with a team made of Gen 1 Pokemon overall. There's plenty scattered throughout the game.

New news, remakes of the Gen III GBA games Ruby and Sapphire will be released for the 3DS this November, as Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. After the remakes Fire Red/Leaf Green and Heart Gold/Soul Silver, it was always thought they'd remake the third generation for the 3DS, and now it is confirmed.

No game footage yet though.
