Reshiram (on the left).

Zekrom (on the right).

Historical Context
This edition was very popular in late 2010 and early 2011. It was generally sold in a bundle that included the corresponding game. It is considered a collector's item for fans of the fifth generation, as it captures the aesthetic of "duality" and "contrast" that defines those titles.
Fun Fact: Unlike other limited editions that use stickers or surface prints, the designs of Reshiram and Zekrom on this DSi are engraved with a slight relief, which gives it a unique tactile texture.
