Here's some Pokemon News for 2005 as reported by IGN:

"December 29, 2004 - Tsunekazu Ishihara and Junichi Mazuda, both big names in the world of Pokemon development, have offered comments to Japan's Dengeki Online game website hinting that 2005 will be a big year for the Pokemon franchise in Japan.

Ishihara, the head of the Pokemon Company, reveals that 2005 will see the release of Pokemon games for the GameCube, Game Boy Advance and DS. Ishihara also makes mention of the opening of Pokemon Park in the city of Nagoya along with the release of another Pokemon movie.

Specifically in reference to the upcoming Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Diamond, Junichi Mazuda, who heads up developer Game Freak, reveals to Dengeki that 2005 will see him place all his power into the development of these first DS entries in the main Pokemon line of games. "It will become a new type of game that offers a number of new forms of play," he states, suggesting that we can expect something beyond the current RPGs.

Nintendo of America's Pokemon releases trail the Japanese versions by a few months, but with Pokemon Emerald due out in April and a number of Pokemon games set to follow, we expect 2005 to be a big year for Pokemon in America as well." - source
