Preview - Pokemon Center Special Edition GameBoy Advance
( Added 3rd March 2001 - By Shoji)

Pokemon Center Japan, has announced the release of its first ever Special Edition GameBoy Advance.

This time around, the Center has chosen to model this edition after "Suikun", which Pokemon fans will know as one of the "Legendary Cats" in the Pokemon Gold & Silver GameBoy game.

Owing to Suikun's water type characteristics and coloring, the Special Edition AGB will be encased in a special "Suikun Blue" shell. Like the Special Edition Gold & Silver Color GameBoy, the "Suikun Blue" AGB will feature the same kind of metallic coating that "shimmers" when viewed from different angles in white light.

The Special Edition AGB will also spot embossed silhouettes of the ever popular Pikachu and Pichu on the bottom of its screen.

It's Interesting to note that Pokemon Center has chosen a much more sophisticated approach in color and design for its first ever Special Edition GameBoy Advance. Undoubtedly, Nintendo is putting across the message that GameBoy Advance is no longer just a kid's toy, but has matured into a full fledged handheld that even adults would not find embarrassing to own.
