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.

== 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. | |||
