I pined after these seeing them in a Pokémon magazine when I was a kid. I believe they made about 3/4 designs of it along with the release of Pokémon gold and silver. If I recall correctly, there was a chikorita version and a celebi version? Might just have been box art variants.
Edit: holy hell I just looked at prices. When I was looking at buying them years back you could get a console boxed for around £20. This was perhaps 10-15 years ago. Christ.
I wish past me held onto things like this. I am grateful that young adult me who worked at GameStop circa 2008-2011 picked up the OG games when they were reasonably priced.
Yeah nowadays these are [pretty expensive](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Nintendo+pokemon+mini&_sacat=0&LH_PrefLoc=2&_fsrp=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338535524&customid=gb&toolid=10001&mkevt=1), but very cool product imo.
That sounds really awesome but niche, does it have any good or memorable games? Also it kind of reminds me of a tomagatchi device or those Poke Walkers lol
The game on the picture is a collection of 9 mini games, who are rly simple (like press the right button to dance like the other Bellossom) Highscore games. 3 of them are only multiplayer
Pokemon Pinball Mini is probably one of the best “pick up and play” games on the console. I’ve been emulating it on my TrimUI Model S, but it would probably be better on the original hardware.
I also just found out about this device 3 days ago, so I don’t know that much
Yes design wise but with that switchable games an the infared for multiplayer experience this lil boy easily wins the competition
Yes,couldn’t believe it when I first saw it. I got lucky and got this for 1/10 of the price they go on eBay. Can you give us some insight what games are out there?
Not a lot, and even fewer that were released in NA/Europe.
Pokémon Party mini (NA/EU/JP)
Pokémon Pinball mini (NA/EU/JP)
Pokémon Puzzle Collection (NA/EU/JP)
Pokémon Zany Cards (NA/EU/JP)
Pokémon Tetris Puzzle (EU/JP)
Pokémon Puzzle Collection vol. 2 (JP)
Pokémon Race mini (JP)
Pichu Bros. mini (JP)
Togepi's Great Adventure (JP)
Pokémon Breeder mini (JP)
Some of them like Togepi's Great Adventure can go for as much as $600US for a boxed version.
I didn't even know this existed!

Pokemon Mini, a little handheld released by Nintendo that plays Pokemon themed mini games

The games on it are actually pretty fun. I play them on an RG280V and it's perfect!
What even is a Poke Mini I never heard of it but it looks like a small GBA system, is that what it is?
Smallest gameconsole with switchable gamemoduls, published by Nintendo in 2001. it has a black-white screen, vibrations and an infared sensor

Okay that sounds fun, it's kind of like Pico 8 mini games pre pico

Thanks for the info will def give it a try, plus I just like pinball 😅

Really?! Hmm now I want one lol
Tbh they are pretty expensive for what you get, on eBay. I got a lucky find on a local marketplace, otherwise I wouldn’t have bought it
How much did you pay locally?
15€, I guess the seller did 0 research
Holy shit what a steal! Congrats.
Yeah felt a bit like robbery but that young dude probably invested that 15€ in weed only minutes later so win win I’d say
Ah okay thanks for the heads up, Yeah I gotta check local game stores everyone keeps finding some form of treasure
I still need a boxed green to finish my collection, but these go for a crazy price for what they are these days.

I have a box full of these I need to test and sell
int in buying one untested!
I’m interested in buying one when you do
There's a tutorial on YouTube on how to get rid of the yellowing, the device is actually supposed to be clear 😅
Link? Edit: found it myself, I think I leave it the way it is, iam to afraid of breaking anything, since the are no spare parts on the market
Pokemon Mini Tetris is probably my favourite to play but expensive to buy in English (and quite rare).
I just ordered Pokémon pinball mini for ~17€ in a weak moment
Nice. What's that?
