I know, I know. Its like poké-mainia around here. This image appeared on the net today with claims that its a new Hey You Pikachu! for the DS. Im hesitant to say this with 100% certainty, simply because of April fools. If it is fake though, Nintendo should take notice because it would work really well for the DS.
Anyway, Im not ashamed to admit that I rented the original HYP! for the N64. And I enjoyed it! Got bored of the slow pacing after awhile, but it was fun.
Also, take note of the games graphics. People who complained about the DS’s lack of texture filtering might want to reevaluate their views on the machines capabilities. Otherwise you may get a lighting bolt to the head.

Aw, look at the cute lil mousy thing! It’s not quite April Fools yet, and I don’t think Japan even does April Fools, so I think this is real.
Hey You Pikachu would be a lot cooler on the DS anyways.

Well, from what I can tell, the mouse is an all new character…adding some credibility to the pictures.

nah, those are n64 screens. you can tell that blurry filtering is use, something the DS can’t do.

When the Nintendo DS premiered at E3 2004, I played a Nintendo DS tech demo called “Pick On Pikachu”, and the Nintendo representatives there explained that it may eventually come to be a sequal to “Hey You” for the Nintendo DS.

if it’s fake and not april 1st, it’s not an april fool’s joke or early april fools joke….it’s simple spong.com
sorry, i’m just getting upset at everyone around me calling ‘jokes’ or ‘fakes’ or ‘pranks’ early april fools jokes…because it just doesn’t make any sense.

April Fool’s jokes either come out the day before or on the day of April Fool’s.

Oh, and the DS doesn’t have aa so those are all fake…

Oh, from the head of Serebii.net:
“However below are the reasons why I am not sure that it is real
1. None of my Japanese Contacts have this
2. There is no Trademark insignia such as ™, ®, ©
3. All the Pokémon models are Colosseum & Dash models and are those of Pokemon which would not suit into the Pikachu Geneki Dechu (Hey You, Pikachu) mold
4. The Scan Quality, it is meant to be a scan of a pamphlet but there is no scan grain caused by the scanning in of a printed page
5. Roselia’s Colosseum Model is pointlessly used as the background
6. It is April Fools Day Tomorrow
7. The ‘New Pokémon’ has the same expression in each of the pictures regardless of it’s position
8. The Graphics appear to be a bit too sharp for the DS
9. The arrow pointing to the DS microphone is jaggedy while everything else is smooth”
They’re all good points, with the exception of the 9th one. And no official gaming sites have picked this up yet. So it’s very likely that this game is a hoax.
