Yes, it's true! In Japan they now have vending machines that will copy an episode of Pokemon onto a data card for only about 300 yen. The catch? To watch the episodes you need a Game Boy Advance...

Nintendo has been doing this in Japan for many years. Originally they were doing it with video games on blank cartridges. I understand that similar machins are pretty common in Japanese convenience stores.
