Recently announced: Pokemon Lab, a game inspired by Spore. The main
plot deals with efforts to "build" (if you take the evil story path) or
"breed" (if you take the good story path) the perfect pokemon, using
skills that can readily be transferred to highly automated real world
biotech labs. Critics note that "highly automated" appears to mean
"most likely to be found in Japan", and highlight the fact that there
are no plans for release outside of Japan, although there has not yet
been any official admission of government subsidies for the project.
Coming in Q2 2007 - we wish.
