Will there be a Special Edition HG/SS DSi?

[FLOOTENKERP]

It will probably be bundled with the games, just like how they did with the Pokémon edition DS Lite.

[Protokoll]

If you build it, they will come and I will buy them.

[bear831]

I was thinking that like with the FF DSi system they might have the word pokemon warped around the camera and Lugia and Ho-Ho on the rest of the system.

Here is a ruff idea for the design PLEASE NOTE THIS WAS MADE BY ME WITH PHOTOSHOP

(I was not shouting it was so people don't ask if this is real, it is fake).

added idea for DSi

[FLOOTENKERP]

Hm, maybe. They did put the Pokémon logo on the gameboy color edition.

[bear831]

Just so everyone know a few posts up I added an idea for the design.

[InuYouki]

I'm hoping they use a design similar to that myself Bear. And they have used the logo before so why not again?

[FLOOTENKERP]

For many reasons Inu. The Pokémon logo was not in the DS editions, so why would the DSi have one? Don't get me wrong, I want it to be there, but I don't want to lead myself to disappointment.

[InuYouki]

Well, I could see it because like HGSS is a remake of GS, this could be a remake of the GBC. Just a guess. Either way I will so get one.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Who wouldn't? I'm holding out just for this one's release. I hope they don't change the feel. I hated how they made the top of the DS Lite glossy. It smudged to easily. I hope this DSi Pokémon edition will look cool.

[InuYouki]

Oh yeah, I could care less how it feels, but I HATED that they smudged. Stupid finger prints.

[FLOOTENKERP]

That's probably why they made the new feel. If they make this new edition DSi, I think it's only going to have the logos in the corner. As much as I would love flashier designs, I don't see these awesome designs of pictures of Ho-oh and Lugia happening.

[KiraPhantom]

I'm actually waiting for it, to be exact. So they better have them.

I'd love it if it looks like my old GBC. I think it was Gold fading to Silver GBC that came with Pokemon Gold/Silver.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Maybe this DSi will have different colored trigger buttons, gold on one, silver on the other. But I doubt it. It would be cool though.

[Jehuis]

I'd figure they would do the same thing they did to Pokemon stadium 2. Make one half of the DSI Gold and the other half silver, and the top half of the DS would have either the HG or SS Emblem on the corner without the camera or in the center.1

[FLOOTENKERP]

Seems like a possibility. I imagine the design and it wouldn't look very good. Maybe they will do the same the with the onyx DP one. MAke it black with outlines of Ho-oh and Lugia.

[Greencat]

Or Silver Metalic going into a Gold Metalic color, or pearl type of powder paint. ;D

That would be cool.

[FLOOTENKERP]

That sounds beautiful. I got the image in my head, and I think that is what they are going to do.

[InuYouki]

That thing will so be mine if thats the case

[FLOOTENKERP]

Hopefully making it have that color won't change the feel. That's what I want most about this DSi.

[AlbinoDrow]

If they do, I might be a little peeved. I just got my DSi about a week after it was out and my policy is to not buy a new one unless it breaks.

That and I dont have $200 to shell out for a special addition DSi. Plus what use would it be if I cant go 'Oooh look! I got a special Pokemon Edition DSi!' since I'm 19. I think my co-workers will laugh a lot... Maybe buy it, wait a few months after they stop making it, then sell it for 5x the price on ebay?

[FLOOTENKERP]

Well, you shouldn't care about your co-workers, but after they stop making production I would wait about a year to sell it. And I think the highest you will get for it is double.

Anyways, I hope the design looks cool, maybe have Ho-oh and Lugia on their individual sides seperated by a slanted line in the middle Ho-oh's side has gold, and Lugia's has silver. Sounds cool.

Pfft have some back bone. I am 22 and I will so sport that thing. If they have a problem with me liking Pokemon that is their problem. Every one of us has our own likes and dislikes and we should learn to respect that in one another. This whole image of OMG You're over ten so you can't play games/watch cartoons is old and tiresome.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Well he shouldn't be ashamed of it, but he shouldn't put it out there to be made fun of. Go like, "Yeah I like Pokemon. It's pretty fun". But don't take pride in it like "Yeah I like Pokemon! If you don't like it that's your problem!". If a special edition DSi comes out, then simply play it when you want, but don't be like, "Isn't it cool?".

[.:Loky:.]

If they do its just one more reason for me to get a DSi

[bear831]

I hope they put a lot of effort into the design. If I decide that the design sucks when it is revealed I will go with the metallic blue japan exclusive. The design for the DP special edition was amazing and it would be nice to see something similar. In my opinion they will probably try something different because they want to attract as much attention to the new DSi special edition as possible and if it looks close to the DP one it won't attract that attention.
