Pokémon mini
The Pokémon mini is a handheld game console designed and manufactured by Nintendo and based on Satoshi Tajiri's Pokémon media franchise. It is officially the smallest ever Cartridge -based system that includes a black-and-white LCD and an integrated gamepad. Other features of the Pokémon mini include an infrared port used to facilitate multiplayer gaming, an internal timer, an accelerometer (shock detector), and a vibrator used to implement force feedback. Some of the Pokémon Mini games were included in the Gamecube game, Pokémon Channel in a software emulator of the Pokémon Mini itself.
Pokémon mini Bonus game published by Nintendo
- Snorlax's Lunchtime: This was a bonus game from the Pokémon Channel Gamecube game. It was ripped off of Pokémon Channel by Team PokéMe (see below). The object is to keep feeding Snorlax until he accidentally tries to eat a Pichu.
Homebrew development
Various hackers have reverse-engineered the Pokémon mini in order to create tools used in the development of homebrew games for the console.
Darkfader Team PokéMe were successful in creating reprogrammable flash cartridges for the use of above mentioned homebrew ROM images, as well as dumped commercial ROM images, on the Pokémon Mini system itself.
Darkfader and Team PokéMe were also successful in creating software emulators for the Pokémon Mini on PC.
