pokemonlogo1Some of our favorite Pokemon have decided they’re tired of Nintendo, have branded their own images, and plan to go into business for themselves.

I’m glad they’re in the top 150, I actually know them all. I don’t know how many Pokemon there are today, but when I was a kid, and Pokemon was at it’s high point in the world, there were 150 Pokemon, then 151 with Mew. After 151, an entire new series of Pokemon were discovered, and I never learned them all.

Pokemon is still around today, but not nearly as popular as it was back in the day, when the GameBoy Color games ruled, the cards were sold out everywhere, and the cartoon was still new every week. The movies were even pretty good too. But we all must grow up, if not all the way, at least  a little bit; I’d still play the hell out of Pokemon Red right now.

If you were a kid back in the 1990’s, as I was, you remember Pokemon very well. It was a card game, it was an epic Gameboy game, it was an awesome TV show, it was on your clothes, your school backpack, and it was on your mind 24 hours a day. Remember Diglett, that cute little Pokemon that pops out the ground? Ever wonder what the rest of Diglett, underground,  looked like?

As previously posted, the new Nintendo DSi is hitting the United States on April 5th, and Europe on April 3rd. The DSi features larger screens, an SD Card slot, 2 cameras, as well as a few other things.

After watching this video, I do actually want one more, but I already have a Wii. If I want to play any Nintendo games, I’ll just boot up Mario Kart Wii or Super Smash Bros Brawl. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one of the new Pokemon games though; I haven’t played one since Pokemon Gold back in the day. Pokemon Red is the best by the way.

Watch the video, check out the new DSi.

The new Nintendo DSi will be hitting the United States on April 5th. It’s been out in Japan since November 2008.

The DSi has two .3 megapixel cameras, larger screens, better speakers, and an SD Card slot. All great things, but a big feature that’s gone; a Gameboy Advance cartridge slot. The original DS and DS Lite were able to play GBA games, the new DSi will not. When the DSi hits American shelves, it will also be coming in a new color; blue, which you can see in the picture at the top of the post.

The DSi will set you back $169.99. Seems a little pricey considering you cannot play GBA games now; even if there are cameras and larger screens…

You can reserve one starting tomorrow, at Gamestop.

Update: The DSi is now confirmed to be hitting Europe on April 3rd, 2 days earlier than the US release.
