Pokemon still
holds sway over the hearts of children around the world although the craze of
yesteryear has subsided somewhat. As the distance to the holidays grow ever
closer, Nintendo banks on a new gadget which attaches to any Gameboy Advance
handheld and plies the Pokemon trade once more. Colored dark blue, the E-card
reader plugs in like any other cartridge. Power up and it waits for you to
swipe a card through it's sensor. A pack of 10 specially encoded cards are
included in the package to give you a taste of what awaits you when additional
card packs are released. Inspect the cards closely and you'll see a data strip
on the left side of the card and a shorter data strip on the bottom. Both
strips contain data which may launch mini-games related to the particular
Pokemon card or give you some information on the monster. |
