Nintendo is all set to release yet another limited edition DS Lite, the company’s hugely successful handheld gaming system. This time around the Nintendo DS will be styled with the popular Pokémon branding and will have a brilliant Pikachu yellow paintjob.

Nintendo has said that this brightly colored yellow Pikachu DS Lite will be available only in Japan. But, it’s going to be one real tough job, even for the Japanese to try and get their hands on this gaming system.

According to Nintendo, this special Pokémon-branded Pikachu yellow DS Lite will retail for a price of 16,800 yen.

To secure this mellow yellow game system, you will need to visit one of the five Pokémon Centers in Japan between June 1 and July 1, 2007. There, you will have to fill out an application to “win” a chance to buy one of these.

The (un)lucky winners will be notified by mail, if they have been selected as a lucky purchaser.

We think that whoever wins this race to buy the Pikachu yellow DS Lite will soon put it up for sale on eBay because just about anyone and everyone nowadays has a DS Lite, whatever color it may be.

However, maybe the real ‘hardcore’ Pokémon fans will come out of hiding and do all that they can to get their hands on this nice brightly colored sunshine yellow DS Lite.
