Pokémon Breeder mini: Difference between revisions

The player interacts with the Pokémon using the D-pad to move a cursor around the interface. The player can pet, play with, and drag his or her Pokémon with this cursor. He or she can also interact with background objects such as a light switch and a drawer.

Unlike standard virtual pet video games, the player's goal in Pokémon Breeder mini is not to keep the Pokémon alive but rather to train it in three out of four different skill categories. The game allows the player to train his or her Pokémon by playing with it using various toys, feeding it [[Pokéblock]]s, and playing with it outside in various challenges.

The player must keep aware of the Pokémon's hunger and energy levels. When its hunger is low, its energy drops faster than usual. When its energy is low, then it becomes tired. Certain activities lower the Pokémon's energy quicker than others, such as playing outside. If the Pokémon is tired, it will attempt to sleep on the floor, which will cause it to be unhappy when it wakes up. To prevent this, the player must place his or her Pokémon into a basket. While sleeping, the Pokémon's energy slowly rises. Its energy rises quicker if the player turns the lights off while it sleeps.

The player can feed his or her Pokémon with an unlimited supply of Pokémon food. Pokéblocks do not lower the Pokémon's hunger.

When the Pokémon has enough energy, it can play again, thus allowing the player to improve its skills. The game includes various toys that improve different skills in different ways. The player has the feather toy in the beginning of the game and obtains other toys as he or she plays outside with his or her Pokémon. All toys can be found in the drawer inside the house once they are unlocked.

* '''Feather:''' The Pokémon will attempt to chase this toy. The player can wiggle the feather to entice his or her Pokémon to chase it faster. The player can also wave the feather above his or her Pokémon's head to cause it to jump in an attempt to catch it.

* '''Bubble wand:''' The player uses this toy to blow bubbles, which his or her Pokémon will watch float to the other side of the room.

* '''Bucket:''' The player can drop this toy on top of his or her Pokémon. The Pokémon will then run left and right in an attempt to escape the trap until it hits a wall.

* '''Camera:''' The player may take pictures of his or her Pokémon with this toy.

* '''Ghost:''' The player chases his or her Pokémon with this toy, causing the Pokémon to run from it.

* '''Radio:''' The player guides his or her Pokémon in dancing to the music of this toy.

Additionally, the player can also improve his or her Pokémon's skills by playing with his or her Pokémon outside. Each Pokémon has three different outdoor games: one challenge, one for playing, and one for exercising. The appearance and function of each of these three games vary depending on which Pokémon the player chose, and each one requires little input from the player.

Lastly, the player can improve various skills using either red, blue, pink, green, or yellow Pokéblocks, which the player receives by connecting the game to certain television remotes. The player may feed his or her Pokémon one Pokéblock every three hours. Sometimes, the player's Pokémon may refuse to eat a particular color Pokéblock.

* If the player is confused about what to do next, he or she may contact Professor Birch or {{ga|May}}.

* In the beginning of the game, the player must hatch his or her egg by repeatedly pressing left and right on the D-pad alternatively. If the player places the egg at the farthest right of the basket and holds right on the D-pad, then the egg will hatch faster.
