Is this an April Fools Joke?

I found this on Bulbanews....

Released in November 2005 with 1.4 million copies sold, Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon will become a spinoff anime, beginning with a two hour anime special to be aired in July ahead of the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
The plot will follow the game closely, with a boy-turned-Pikachu as the main character and an Eevee as his partner. It seems that the Pokémon characters will be able to speak, as in the game.

Heres the link:

Is this true?

Yeah. It is a joke. But I do hope you know about the two Myserious Dungeon games that are coming out for DS and Game Boy Advance. They do have a human turned into a pokemon (Pikachu one of them) and you do get a partner (eevee one of them). And they do talk (for a change). Just filling you in.
