Ahhh damnit. Orange is my favorite colour and if it didn't have that pokemon engraved in the top I would've bought this one.

Funny...that's why I would buy it. Just like my Celebi one. ;)

I don't have any issues with pokemon, it's just I don't enjoy things engraved on things, looks tacky.

I also don't really follow pokemon, I know pikachu, squirtle, charmaniander, and onyx. Oh and Mewtwo from SSB: Melee. Although I have played the Pokemon GBA game when it first game out, I had no clue what I was doing but it was fun.

Any plans on the orange without the character art on the lid?

Play-Asia will have it in stock for $129 when it's released on April 25. You can count on that price being lower than from pretty much any other importer (cough, NCS, cough). I like the way they put the Pokemon on that one better than on the previews Pokemon GBAs...it's subtle, tasteful. And besides, it could be mistaken for a baby Chocobo or something. :p

Probably not, if Nintendo's previous history with Pokemon units holds true. The special colors are limited to the Pokemon GBAs.

I'm not embarrased by the pokemon. If I saw a pokemon t-shirt I thought was awesome I'd wear it to school and tell people who giggled at me to fuck off and make fun of their character flaws until they cried.

I just don't think it looks all that great.

Also, this sucks. I want an orange SP without the aid of refinishes.

Hey, I'm thinking of getting the imported black GBA:SP. But what I need to know is, what is the difference between the 110v and the 220v AC adapter? Will only one version work in America? Any help would be appreciated.

That one's real. However, this vastly superior model...

I like the orange, now I want a yellow, brown, lime green and mayhaps even Hot Sauce Red.
