The '''Pokémon mini''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンミニ''' ''Pokémon Mini'') is a handheld game console designed and manufactured by [[Nintendo]] only for specifically tailored Pokémon mini-games. It is the smallest cartridge-based system that Nintendo has ever produced. It includes an LCD screen and a directional control pad. Features also include an [[infrared]] port, a timer, a shock detector, and a vibrator for force feedback. Some of the Pokémon mini games were included in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] game {{g|Channel}}, which contains an emulator of the Pokémon mini itself.
