Huh, neat.

This was apparently from 2009, and the last paragraph quotes DB as saying "Elite 4 will be on this generation of technology, but we're not announcing it yet." :D

I recently purchased the new iteration myself not so long ago and I had it on my tv screen when my mother came over and recognised the name. She said that my father used to play the original all the time :) Great read though, thanks for sharing

I was not around when the original elite was created but this was a good read yo learn how amazing this game would have been in its day.
