Nintendo has announced that on March 24 it will be releasing a limited edition yellow Nintendo 3DS XL that features a cute outline of Pikachu on the back. The handset is being released the same day as the upcoming Pokemon video game for the 3DS, and Nintendo is offering a game for free to those who purchase both the special edition handset and the Pokemon game.

On March 24, Nintendo will also be releasing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, which it boasts as a game with a “deep and compelling story full of unexpected twists.” Gamers can choose to play as one of five different Pokemon through randomly generated Mystery Dungeons, where battles await and other pokemon can be recruited.

Says Nintendo, the Mystery Dungeons that are generated are “near infinite”, meaning players won’t be getting bored any time soon. In addition, entrances to new dungeons can be discovered via “everyday circular objects,” which the gamer will scan with the 3DS’s camera. It doesn’t specify what these everyday objects are, however. Only those with a 3DS will be able to play; it isn’t being offered on any other system.

The special edition 3DS will be available for $199.99 and will include a 4GB SD card. The Gates to Infinity game, meanwhile, will be priced at $34.99. Those who purchase both and register them will be given a download code for one of five free games: Super Mario 3D Land, Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone, Star Fox 64 3D, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, and Freakyforms Deluxe: Your Creations, Alive!

Earlier this morning, we mentioned about how Nintendo has their Pikachu edition of the Nintendo 3DS XL, and just like clockwork (or the joy that you feel when a rare Pokemon appears), so too, has Nintendo officially announced the Pikachu Edition Nintendo 3DS XL that will be made available to the masses this coming March 24.

Sporting a bold yellow color, everything else about this Pikachu Edition Nintendo 3DS XL in terms of hardware will remain the same, other than the external physical difference that boasts of the familiar outline of the iconic electric Pokémon. Each $199.99 purchase will be accompanied by a 4GB SD memory card, which will be available while stocks last. Oh, and since you might want to get a game to go along with your spanking new handheld console, how about picking up a copy of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity as it will launch on the same day as the Pikachu Edition Nintendo 3DS XL? Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity will set you back by another $34.99 just in case you were wondering, but if the Pokemon games’ track record in the past is anything to go by, it would be more than worth every penny you forked out for it.

Wanna know what it’s like to wear a butt of jokes on your head? Here you go. This crocheted hat featuring the most useless piece of carp in the Pokémon franchise was made by Etsy seller Savannah Mitchell aka corlista.

The hat measures 20″ and does not even know Splash. But wear it enough times and one day you could have a dragon on your head. I don’t know if that’s a better look though.

Corlista made the hat in the pictures expressly for one customer, but I’m sure if you contact her she could be persuaded to spawn more. That would make her the first successful Magikarp salesperson.

In yesterday’s show and tell from Nintendo, they announced that the Pokemon franchise is far from dead, and just when you figured out that you have caught ‘em all, along comes the announcement that there are more Pokemon for you to hunt down in the upcoming Pokemon X and Y titles. Obviously, in Pokemon X and Y, there will be two more legendary Pokemon added to the mix, and they have been revealed today – coming in the form of Xerneas (ZURR-nee-us) and Yveltal (ee-VELL-tall).

Pokemon X and Y, as revealed yesterday, is said to be the first games of the franchise to make its way to the Nintendo 3DS, where Pokemon trainers all over the world will just have to play the patience card and wait all the way until October 2013 before getting a copy. “Hunting season”, so to speak, will begin then, and we hope that more information will be revealed between now and October.

Go figure that this isn’t actually the first time we’ve featured a Pokémon bra here on Technabob, but this is most definitely the sparkliest Pokémon bra we’ve had on the site. And since you guys probably can’t resist a good pair of Pokéballs Pokéboobs, now’s as good a time as any to feature this sexy/geeky underthing.

This shimmering Pokémon bra was made by Claire of Neon Wonderland, and is covered in literally hundreds of colorful rhinestones. They’re available in any cup size and padding level you’d like – but only the basic Poké Ball design. Maybe if you’re nice to Claire, you can convince her to make a Sport Ball sports bra. They sell for $70(USD) over on Etsy.
