From Saturday 19th July, Nintendo and Vimto will be touring the country with the exclusive 'Pokémon Live 2003 unleashed by Vimto' roadshow visiting branches of Toys 'R' Us, Tesco & Asda. The roadshow is a massive dome with themed zones containing the ultimate mobile Pokémon world. The roadshow will attract Pokéfans by the thousand, all keen to experience the brand new Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire games on the Game Boy Advance first hand and wash down the experience with a can of Vimto!

Fans in both Japan and America have been snapping up the games in their eagerness to be the greatest Pokémon Trainer ever, with more than 4.4 million copies of the games shipped in Japan and more than 2.2 million games already shipped to North American retailers. The UK is now bracing itself for the impending Pokémon storm!

Pokémon fans should also look out for special promotional packs of Vimto for a chance to win stacks of gaming prizes including two exclusive trips to New York, rounded off with a trolley dash at the world famous Pokémon Center NY.

Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire are the first games in the hugely popular series to appear on the Game Boy Advance. They are packed with new features and over 100 brand new Pokémon to collect. The games are available in the UK on 25th July 2003 priced at around �30-�35 each.
