I really didn’t want a Nintendo 3DS XL…but then I saw this limited edition Pikachu model available for pre-order at Pokemon Center stores in Japan. A few of you will recall that I own several Pokemon-edition Nintendo handhelds. I love my Celebi Game Boy Advance. I adore my Torchic GBA-SP. My DS Lite with Dialga and Palkia on the cover…well, that one is just okay; the other two portables look cooler. Anyway, the point is that this Pikachu 3DS XL/LL is screaming to be part of my collection. It’s cute and awesome and super-effective against water Pokemon!
If only I had a friend that lives in Japan, like Brad Douglas. If only a pal, like Brad Douglas, would drive down to Los Angeles while he’s in America in a few weeks so that I could give him some money to pick this bad boy up for me at Pokemon Center Tokyo. A good friend, like Brad Douglas, would realize that it’s my birthday next month and this favor would be awesome. I wonder….
Your friend eBay is no good?
I want some jrpgs for the 3DS. I need a dragon warrior game or something.
The markup would be severe, I’m sure. Plus, I only get to see Brad a couple of times a year. I’m trying to guilt him into stopping by LA while he’s visiting SCEA in a few weeks. It’s always excellent to see him.
That does look sweet. Are u not able to buy it directly from the pokemon center if they have a website?
From the translation, it looks like you have to pre-order at a Pokemon Center store in Japan.
Lol, I thought this was “about me”!
OK, OK, I get the picture! I’ll swing by the Pokemon Center here in Tokyo later today to reserve it.
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I hope drinks and food is on Ray.
Brad is pure awesome.
Hey, I went by the Pokemon Center but there was a 3-hour wait. I couldn’t wait that long today but I’ll try to check back on a weekday when it might not be so crowded. Sorry dude.
I appreciate the try! Hopefully the lines die down next week.
I don’t get it. Pokemon isn’t even a 3DS native game yet…
There will eventually be a 3DS Pokemon game and Nintendo always makes limited edition Pokemon handhelds.
