Pikachu DS Lite set to drive Japan nuts!

mistermostyn | June 04, 2007 | News | DS

What do you get when the hugely popular Pokemon series barges its way into Nintendo's DS Lite fabrication facility looking for some ego-bolstering glory? What you get is everyone standing aside while the Pikachu DS Lite is born. Prepare for them to be rarer than rocking horse dung!

Pokémon, it would be fair to say, sells big. DS Lite sells big. New DS Lite colours sell - well, you get the idea. So, a custard-yellow, Pikachu-branded, DS Lite in the heart of Tokyo? There will be carnage.

Oh dear. I ain't a Pokemon fan, and to be honest I can't see why anyone would want one. I mean sure, the games and to some extent the TV shows and films are alright, but that's ridiculous.

Bleh, I don't see why Japan is in a craze over Pokemon.
Good for a few laughs thought.

Now how much will it cost to import one of those.

I'm seeing around $300.

Having a Pikachu DS is every boys dream

I like Pokemon well enough, but aren't they just going to kill it off by overpowering the market with pokemon-branded products? =(

I can't believe Pokemon has stayed this popular for so many years. I thought it would just be a phase back when it first came out, but 10 years later, it's still going strong.

Yeah me too. I thought it would have died out by now or at-least stop being so popular. I can't believe people are actually gonna buy these things... Such a waste of money if you already own a DS Lite.

Oh please Nintendo, stop with the Pokemon. But hey, while you're at it, shape it like a Pikachu, give it red cheeks and make sure it shoots off a few sparks every now and then.

Shoot off some sparks? Awesome idea!

Haha pretty funny really that Pokemon is still so popular in Japan, and even all of the adults are obsessed with it over there. Mental. Should sell well, even for the fanatics who already have a DS Lite.

Ugh >>. All the DS Lite is doing is creating different designs and then selling them in Japan and selling like 2038940238 of them.

I like Pokemon, and I wouldn't mind getting one of those. But if I was seen playing it I'd probably get laughed at.

Lol. Cute. I wouldn't mind having one, but I'd never go out of my way to get one.
