Pokemon: Live and Unleashed

As Nintendo gears up for what it hopes will be the second coming of Pokemania - the incredible phenomenon that shaped the face of the game world for several years - a new roadshow has been announced.

Somewhat strangely partnered with stalwart soft drink Vimto, a massive UK tour will kick off this Saturday at Brent Cross shopping centre.

Attendees will be able to play both Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, drink Vimto until it comes out of their ears, and win specially created merchandise and loads more.
