We all knew this one was just a matter of time, but it sounds like the Japanese faithful will finally have the opportunity to purchase a glaring yellow Pikachu
DS Lite system in the not too distant future. Of course, this isn't the first time the infamous Pokemon has
taken over a Nintendo handheld, but getting your palms around this machine will be even more difficult than those
other hard-to-get hues. The limited edition machine will reportedly sport Pikachu's face on the bottom right corner of the cover, include a matching yellow stylus, and in order to procure one, you'll have to show up in person at the Japanese Pokemon Center and submit your name into a lottery system. Supposedly, the winners will be able to pay their ¥16,800 ($139) and walk out happy starting on July 20th, and afterwards, the rest of you can shell out small fortunes on various auction sites if you just can't do without.

The image in the corner looks more like Pichu than Pikachu, but it has Pikachu's colors.
Yeah,whatever.
Why has Covarr been ranked down? I was thinking the exact same thing. You wanna rank me down now?
special taxi edition.
WaWAwiWA!! i am a MILLIONAIRE!!!...............in yen ^_^
well, pikachu ds, i have one thing to say to you - i WOULDN'T choose you.
If only it didn't have the superimposed ... thing on it.
Only Nintendo can run a contest for the privilege of PAYING for one of their systems.
It fucking hurts my eyes!
awesome! it is so mine. gimi gimi! my first pokemon game = pokemon yellow. this will accompany it nicely.
Pokemon Yellow was for the original Game Boy. The DS only plays Advance games, sorry!
Does anyone know what if any game cartridges come with this Pikachu branded Nintendo DS-Lite? You would think that they should include a Pokemon Diamond or Pearl game.
Pi-pi-ka-chu!
