New Pokemon to show up in 2003

[cka]

Nintendo plans to release a GameCube Pokemon game in Japan during the summer of 2003, according to Japanese publication Nikki Net. Interestingly though, they mention that the game will be unplayable without a Gameboy Advance linkup with either Pokemon Ruby or Pokemon Sapphire (both are GBA Pokemon games, similar to the Gameboy's Pokemon Red and Blue etc.) A rather bold and interesting move on Nintendo's part...

TNL will have more news as it becomes available on this topic.

I don't know if I'm in the minority, but I'm not very excited about having to fork over $70 for a GBA, $30 for Sapphire/Ruby, and $10 for a GC/GBA cable just to play the new Pokemon game on my Gamecube.

If you're in that minority, I'm the head of that minority. I can't play the originals for more than 10 minutes without being bored to tears.
