Years ago, someone invented a rubber band that was shaped like an object of some sort. This rubber band always kept it's shape, no matter what. These weren't very popular, until just recently. The shaped rubber bands have come up from the ashes, and have swept away the nation. They are now call Silly Bandz, and everyone wants them.
What makes these so popular? The fact that they keep their shape when you take them off and stuff is cool, I guess, but thats all...? What's so great about them? They've already been banned from schools because people actually get up, and trade their freakin' rubber bands in the middle of a lesson! How absurd is that? Anyway, apparently there are different series' of them: Sea Life, Fantasy, Instruments, Jungle Life, etc. They also have scented, and glow-in-the-dark ones. There are larger ones, and smaller ones, and some seem to be more uncommon than others.
I enjoy Silly Bandz, but I believe it's just a phase. They are just going to die down, just like all of the other things we all enjoyed back then.
Silly Bandz can be found in convenient stores such as 7 Eleven or a local Cards-and-Gifts Store.

Rumors have been spreading like crazy about the new Pokemon games being released: Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version. Blogs and websites have been buzzing with facts and screenshots. It appears that the rumors have been true! Poketto Monsutā Burakku Howaito, or Pocket Monsters: Black and White (more commonly referred to as Pokemon Black and White) has been officially announced, and it will become the 5th Generation of our favorite Japanese Monsters! Screenshots show increased 3-D Graphics, but this game will not be released for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS Handheld System. Director Junichi Masuda stated that several aspects of the series were being revamped for the new generation.
A silhouette of an unidentified Pokemon was shown by Junichi Masuda on the February 7, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday, stated to be in the upcoming film for the summer and to be identified in a future episode on February 21. This new character would also be featured in the March 2010 issue of "CoroCoro Comic." Since then, the mysterious Pokemon has been named Zoroark, evolved from Zorua- another new character that was introduced. Both of these new Pokemon are said to be featured in the upcoming film Pokemon Diamond & Pearl The Movie: Phantom Ruler: Zoroark. The April 18, 2010, episode of Pokémon Sunday showed game footage of a player character walking around in a 3-D environment and a single screenshot depicting a battle between the player's Zoroark and an enemy Zorua.
A trailer for the upcoming Pokemon movie has also been found:

3DS
You may or may not have heard of the new upcoming Nintendo hands held console. This new console is known as the 3DS. To most people, it is a remake of Nintendo's old "Virtual Boy" - The 3-D Console that left people with seizures and aching backs. Now, Nintendo will be releasing a console that has extreme three dimensional graphics that do not require the use of special glasses.
When I say "three dimensional" I don't mean the games pop out of the screen. I mean, the graphics LOOK 3-D and are very extreme. A trailer for this new console can be found on video-sharing websites, such as YouTube. The trailer shows a DSi Ware game called Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda. The 3DS is being held by a person, and as the person tilts the console, you can see different parts of the game. It may seem a bit cheap, but since it is a DSi Ware game, it's not top-notch. Here is a link to the trailer:

What do you think? Is it going to be a great console like the Wii? Or just another Virtual Boy?
Thats all I have to say! I hope you enjoyed "Trends and Upcoming Things!"
