Some fads never seem to die. And while the Pokemon craze has likely seen its heyday come and go, it's certainly settled into a dominant role in the videogame industry, especially when it comes to portable gaming. Now the franchise is set to crossover to the Nintendo DS with two new titles. "We've started developing the NDS Pokemon Diamond & Pearl as the true successors to [Pokemon] games. They will be the definitive entries in the series," Tsunekazu Ishihara, president of Creatures Inc, told Famitsu magazine. Not to mention Pokemon Dash, which will have a dual cartridge feature, allowing one to insert a GBA Pokemon game into the DS while playing Dash for a special bonus race course in the shape of a Pokemon. Oh my! Seriously though, and maybe we're offending some of you, but does this really turn anybody on?
