So what is Pokémon Mini? Pokémon Mini is a tiny handheld system made by Nintendo exclusively for Pokémon games. Only the inner workings of Miyamoto knows why they chose to do this instead of a GBA game but still.

The Pokémon Mini console was unveiled to the world under a huge amount of hype at the Nintendo show in London in September 2001. It is about the same size as the "Pokémon Pikachu" or "Pokémon Pikachu Color" virtual pet, and the CARTRIDGES (yes, something this small can take carts), are about half the size of a GBA game.

Technically speaking, its specs aren't great, they don't match that of the original brick that is the classic Game Boy. Then again, what do expect for something a fraction the size of it? The screen is about that of a Nokia mobile phone, with graphical quality to match, (no, not snake, those menu option pictures). To be honest, I'm not sure of the sound quality, but I wouldn't expect much more than beeps. For controlling purposes, it features your standard Nintendo D-Pad and two buttons. Interestingly, it also features a built in rumble function and pedometer (that's something that counts the number of steps you take).

The chunky of plastic with electronics inside, and associated with Pokémon will be released in Britain on March 15th.
