Cool, I'd forgotten all about this. When you bought a Wii on launch day here in the US, Target gave you a $20 voucher. It's cool, it lights up and shit. I've just found mine.

There was a video of the pokemon thing knocking around the other day. It looked like Stadium with nicer graphics and thats about it.

Still, the online play should shift some units.

I hate Pokemon but everyone I know that's into it buys every single one of them when they're out. That's the thing then, Nintendo places the bet on the rabid fans.

Bugger...looks like Amazon had another batch of Wiis online this morning at about 7:30. Went within minutes, obviously..

I havent played a Pokemon game since Blue, but i have to say it was a very good game, now they just are too complicated, night /day breeding... its way over my head, but if i kept up maybe i would still play them.

try playing Red/Blue or yellow you might see what all the fuss is about..

I loved Pokemon on the GBA and I cannot wait for either diamond or pearl. I'lll probably stay away from the Wii version, though, since I try to stay away from online gaming in general

Actually i lied, i just remebered i have Pokemon stadium on the 64 but i bought it for a couple of pounds recently, I only really played the mini games though.
