might be a strange request, but my daughter wants to play pokemon on my MBA and i have no idea if its possible, anybody offer any insight on how i would get this done? thanks
 
Do you have Lion? If so, I don't know of a way to do so, but if you are still on Snow Leopard, you can install VirtualBoy Advance and find a site to get the game, and play it that way. I don't recommend the DS games though as they run pretty slow.

VirtualBoy Advanced is your best bet. If you are wanting to play the DS games (not sure of the performance on the laptop, Diamond, HeartGold, and Black run well on my 3 year old Dell with Intel Core 2 Duo and 2gb of RAM) then check out DeSmuME.
