Pokémon Dash includes | [[File:Pokemon Dash Map.png|thumb|right|Map of courses in Pokémon Dash]] | ||
Pokémon Dash includes 420 special courses. Most of them are obtainable by inserting a [[core series]] game in the Game Boy Advance slot of a Nintendo DS and selecting from the party a Pokémon whose {{game|Emerald}} sprite will become a course map. Besides these 417 different courses (every Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]], including {{p|Unown}}'s and {{p|Deoxys}}'s alternate [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], and an {{pkmn|Egg}}), there are also three special courses that can be downloaded from official events which star a flying {{p|Munchlax}}, a {{DL|Pikachu variants|Flying Pikachu}} and a {{p|Pikachu}} on a {{p|Lapras}}. | |||

The game received a lukewarm reception, mainly due to the fact that the player could only play as {{p|Pikachu}} in single player. Another common complaint was that the game could potentially be finished within hours. | The game received a lukewarm reception, mainly due to the fact that the player could only play as {{p|Pikachu}} in single player.
