Formed from former Nintendo of America and SquareSoft employees, Interactive Imaginations' Magi-Nation RPGs for both the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance are due out in the coming months, as well as a Wizards of the Coast card game and various books.

For those worried about the Pokemon-esque trend ending, your fears have been alleviated. Atlus is releasing a new Gameboy Color RPG, Robopon: Sun Version in the US this winter. Instead of creatures though, you train robots and upgrade their parts. The game cartridge comes with a built-in speaker and a real time clock, as events are trigged at various times.
