B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Sure. NOW we start getting face plate love. I think Nintendo Power should start including some face plates that've only shown up in Japan and Europe.

And a GC skin as a pre-order bonus? I think it would've been far cooler to get another bonus disc with another downloadable Pokemon (like Jirachi in the Colluseum bonus). Oh well, it's free, I can't complain too much. :/

If the bundle is 100 bucks and the game is 50, and it comes with the skin as well as a face plate, i'll be buying a second system.  ^^
