Senior VP for Nintendo America [Only registered users can see links. ] expresses his joy with the latest in the Pokemon series:

After recently celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Pokemon franchise continues to get stronger. These two new titles represent the best that Pokemon has to offer, and a great opportunity for Game Boy users to upgrade to Nintendo DS.

Fans in the states might also be pleased to hear that Nintendo will be releasing some limited edition Pokemon styluses for your DS if you pre-order the game in certain participating retailers. There's not much specific info yet on this pre-ordering offer, much less any pics of what the styluses look like, so stay tuned and keep your pokedex on the ready!

Pokemon - Gotta keep releasing games!
