One of our friendly, GameStop-employed readers let us know that Nintendo will be bringing a new-old limited edition Nintendo DS to North America soon. When? I said "soon," dammit! The black DS features Pokémons Palkia and Dialga from the Pearl and Diamond version of the game and was previously only available at Pokémon Center stores in Japan. Take that, Japan exclusivity!

Were you one of the thousands of Pokémon fans like me who missed out on getting Darkrai from Toys R Us, letting the whole thing completely slip your mind at the last minute? Well prepare to have your mind go completely blank later this month as GameStop is now pulling out their Pokémon and waving it about for all to see. Forget to visit GameStop on the weekends of June 20th and 27th and you'll be missing out on the chance to score a rare Deoxys, a Pokémon formed from a mutation of a extraterrestrial virus exposed to a laser beam.

Those of you who follow Pokemon fanatically know what a bitch it is to get your hands on a Manaphy, the legendary water Pokemon who can only be found via an egg transferred from Pokemon Ranger. Well kotakuite Agies has informed us that this Saturday from 12-3PM, Toys R Us stores around the country are offering the rare critter via in-store download, along with $5 off any DS game you buy when you stop by to continue your catching of them all. Otherwise you either have to trade or suffer through Pokemon Ranger, which is considered in some countries an advanced form of torture. More »

Pokemon isn't just about a deep-seated love for Mudkips - it's about learning as well. Should be online later today, so bookmark the link below. More »

Remember the good old days when gaming was cheap and simple primary colors like red and blue made us happy? But being the vigilant consumers that we are, before we knew it, we'd upped the ante to gold and silver and ruby and sapphire. Now what to we get? Diamonds. Freakin' diamonds. Buying a light RPG has become the cultural equivalent to getting engaged. At least this means the Pok mon arms race may finally come to an end. More »

While I'm doing that, you can pass some time by looking at the highlights of this week's new releases. Flynn De Marco More »

Nintendo just sent me this big fold-out fact sheet for Pokemon Diamond and Peal. It's mostly stuff we already know, like that it will let you use WiFi to battle, voice chat with friends via VoIP and feature new 3D environments. The one thing I hadn't seen before were pictures of the free stylus you receive if you order either game. Kinda dorky, but if you're a fan of the franchise I'm sure this will make you faint.

Of course, you know it's going to take absolutely no time for the air of camaraderie to devolve into hysterical "FUCK YOU!"/"NO, FUCK YOU AND YOUR PIKACHU!" screaming matches between ten year olds half a world away.

Today, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl went on sale in Japan. Over a 150 people (they counted, I'm sure) lined up at Shinjuku's Yodobashi Camera. And the store got some DS Lite units in as well. And at the Pokemon Center, something like 800 folks lined up. People bought the game. Lots. More »
