I know all about the planned game, but due to dissagrements with various companies the game was put on delay and may not be made at all now, but it was going to be called The Road to World 2004 and for the Gameboy SP and was going to actually be about all of the pokemon TCG players, you put in your POP Id number and you started with your deck that you had used at the start of said season since Nintendo keeps all the deck sheets it would have all the decks written down, and since all the opponents and tournaments in the game were based all of real people and their results the AI engine would be very good to determine who would be a stroger opponent and thus player's compete in the real pre-releases and collect cards through trading and buying packs in the game and would eventually try to go to the World Championships in 2004 in Orlando and change history, since you know Yamato won then well what do you know he would be the strongest opponent for the tournament. It would have been Nintendo's awesome idea to keep making a new game every year like Yugi-oh does but vasty superior since everything is based off of real events. But as you can imagine making said game at said time would require getting a lot of rights from various sources, and also the English, Japanese and other country's versions of the game would take place in their country but you still end up at Worlds and another exciting factor in the game was travel, you play i FL and in the game you decide to use your game currency to fly to Ohio and compete thus making you play in a real event that you did not actually partipate in real life so players couldn't get bored and at the end of the game, you can use the time machine found at worlds to travel back and play in any of the game's possible tournaments to enjoy different outcomes. Well there you go. That is all I know about that.
This was actually a proposal forwarded, and received warmly, by Stephen VanDeventer (I may have butchered that spelling), a pokemon player/judge and card game designer working out of Florida and North Carolina. From what I understand, it did meet with a degree of licensing difficulty, but Stephen had it pretty well worked out.
If he's at Nationals this year, ask him to demo his Godzilla game. Purty fun....(but deeply flawed...stupid "Mother"...)
