Ok, so I’ve never been a fan of the Pokemon series, but I did try the free Wii demo of Pokémon Rumble and that shit was crazy addictive. There are hundreds of those creatures to collect and they really do all have different abilities. If you can detach yourself from the fact that you are playing a cartoon inspired game targeted at 10 year olds then you might actually have a bit of fun with it.
Neither do I know much about the DSi series, but I can tell you that starting Feb. 1, Nintendo is adding some incentives for pre-orders of their new games, Pokémon™ HeartGold and Pokémon™ SoulSilver. Pre-orders will come with a ‘legendary’ Pokémon figure crafted by toy company, Kayodo. You could receive either Ho-Oh™, “a Legendary Pokémon that circles the skies of the Johto region on rainbow-coloured wings. Or, “Lugia™, “a Legendary Pokémon that dwells deep in the seas and has the power to create massive storms.”
Ooooh.
