Pokemon DS Lite Hits US, Only Slightly Embarrassing to Own

The limited-edition Pokemon DS Lite was actually released in Japan back in 2006, but is just now showing up in a Gamestop ad in the US. The flashy, surprisingly mature paintjob features Dialga and Palkia, the two Pokemon—Pokemons? Pokemen?—from the Diamond and Pearl covers. It looks to come with a nice bundle, including carrying case, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DVD “special,” a poster of Grovyle and a Pokemon t-shirt. I prefer the even artier Honeybee DS Lite, but if you’re dying for some Poke-branding this side of the Pacific, you could do worse than pick this up for the standard US$130. [GoNintendo]

    Lol. Even Gizmodo got this wrong.

    They were released in the US not long after the Japanese ones came out as a limited edition batch in PokeCenter NY.

    This appears to be the second batch.
