UK gamer Drew Walters somehow managed to procure one of these special edition systems, the lucky git, and took several photos while he unboxed the yellow treasure. Considering that the handheld was only supposed to be available to a limited amount of people who submitted an application at Japan's Pokémon Centers, we expect that a great deal of shenanigans were involved, and not to mention crazy bucks.
We can all agree that the Pikachu DS Lite is quite yellow, but what sort of yellow is it? Drew broke it down on his blog: "It's the same yellow as Post-it notes, The Simpsons, Lego men, and my bedroom wall." See for yourself, past the post break!

My Pokemon Dialga & Palkia DS Lite looks so much better. I guarantee you this will be on PokemonCenter.com in a few months. He probably got it from Play-Asia, Toys-n-Joys, or some other online retailer. I saw it for about $500, my Dialga & Palkia Edition was $330 in a Bundle Pak from PokemonCenter.com :x

What's with the new, rounded Pikachu design? From the various images of it on the package, it just looks like an overgrown Pichu. Bah.

Wow.
That's...that's really yellow.
I'll stick with my Onyx as well, but darned if I'm not fascinated by the giant LEGO head also.
Is it filled with ever smaller LEGO heads?
-because that would be cool.

Looks like the same color as the bottom half of my 1992 SNES console.

It comes with a standard black ds handstrap, and a spare yellow stylus. I just got my pikachu ds today :) and yeah, it looks more like pichuu than pikachu in the corner. Shame about no yellow handstrap, the white FF ds' came with white, so i got my hopes up :(
