If you want a job doing properly, you do it yourself. Or so Nintendo would probably say now. Updated

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Wizards of the Coast, the current makers pulled out of Pokémon TCG earlier in the week claiming that their offer was acceptable, but was not accepted.

Akira Chiba, the president of Pokémon USA Inc, the company responsible for dealing with Pokémon things outside of Japan claimed, "Since Nintendo already produces the Pokemon video games, it's a natural extension for them to distribute and market the trading card games,", possibly whilst fending off angry Wizards staff with some sort of tazer device.

Any further developments will be reported on PUK, unless they include propaganda for semi-legal political factions setup in Belarus.

Update 18:34

The first set under Nintendo will be released in the USA in June.
