That's right, Nintendo is planning something quite special with DSvision. It'll be coming out on the 18th of December.

The package will be 2GB all up. It'll comprise five of the movies, totaling to over five hours worth of watching!

Jack DeVries of ign.com recently went to an event for the upcoming Pokemon game, Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. While there, he decided for some unknown reason to compile a mental list of the Pokemon you really just don't want to catch, the sort that mentally prevent you from catching them all.

Each Pokemon listed is given a little bit of information (Name, Type, Number and Species) from the Pokedex before a a nice healthy statement of why you don't want to go anywhere near that Pokemon...

"The cupcakes are chocolate and they are filled with cream… just like a Hostess cupcake. The Pokemon faces were made out of Marshmallow Fondant. Marshmallow Fondant is made out of marshmallows so it tastes a lot better that regular fondant. It’s pretty fun to make too. I made templates for the various parts of the faces, and cut around them with an Exacto knife"

Filb.de, a Pokemon news site, presents us with a load of scans for the big upcoming title in the Pokemon world: Pokemon Platinum!

1up has put up a very nice preview in anticipation of the release of Pokemon Platinum for the Nintendo DS.

The introduction starts with how many games have now been released and that it should have become a dread for gamers, but it's not the case. It discusses both old features being incorporated once more along with some new ones (especially after beating the Elite 4). Also mentioned Wi-Fi and the changes with it in Pokemon Platinum in comparison to Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl. It ...

Earlier this week, you may have seen a news article stating that the latest game coming from The Pokémon Company and Nintendo, Pokémon Platinum had sold 740,000 copies in the first week. That number had been proven to be false due to faulty source data.

However, today, Japanese sales tracker Enterbrain has announced that Pokémon Platinum had sold 967,675 in its first week on the market. It released on a Saturday, so the game ended up selling that amount in two days. Please check back la...

This article give details on a recent party to celebrate Pokemon Platinum going onto the market in Japan (September 13th). Pokemon Cub fans and students were invited to join in the celebrations. Promos (such as the Giratina mask) and prizes alike were given out as Pokemon Platinum was promoted.

Everyone's excited for the new Pokemon game called Platinum.

Like Yellow, Crystal and Emerald before it, it will be the third game of a series to wrap it all up nicely.

Platinum has had a lot of news recently, both truth and rumours. It looks to be a great third addition like Emerald was, but will it be?

"Case one: You're a spiky haired boy walking through the woods and a butterfly flutters out of a nearby tree. What would you do?
A. Watch it and admire nature's beauty
B. Do a happy dance
C. Eat a leaf
D. Convince your animals friends to "use flamethrower" on it, just for the experience

Now if you're a normal person you'd probably do A, B, or even C, depending on how tastey the leaf looks. If you're the main character of Pokémon, however, you'd go with D. Why is that acceptable?!? Only ..."

"The film franchise, which started in 1998, is based on the 1996 Nintendo Game Boy game "Pokemon."

"The Pokémon Company has announced Pokémon 151, a new brand intended for adult Pokémon fans. An official Web site opens Thursday, and Japanese Pokémon Center stores have begun selling four types of stylized T-shirts. In addition, a Diamond and Pearl battle tournament for ages 15 and up will be held at the Tokyo store July 4.

The four T-shirts currently available for pre-sale feature stylized designs of Hypno, Cubone, Articuno and Mewtwo, respectively."

"Lopunny poses like a Playboy bunny in a centerfold spread. Or a prostitute working the sidewalk. Either way, it's sexually suggestive. It also grabs its chest area like it's trying to keep you from seeing the goods. And is it just me or do Lopunny's elbows look like a pair of drooping...boobs? There's so much subconscious sexual imagery going on with Lopunny - if I saw one standing like that at a bar, I might just have to take it home with me."
