The Pokémon mini is a handheld game console designed and manufactured by Nintendo and based on Satoshi Tajiri's Pokémon media franchise. It is a remarkably small cartridge-based system that includes a black-and-white LCD and an integrated gamepad. Other features of the Pokémon mini include an infared port used to facilitate multiplayer gaming, an internal timer, an accelerometer (shock detector), and a vibrator used to implement force feedback. Some of the Pokemon Mini games were included in Pokemon Channel.

Homebrew development

Various hackers have reverse-engineered the Pokémon mini in order create tools used in the development of homebrew games for the console. These games are developed and distributed as ROM images by the Team PokéMe online community.

Darkfader and Team PokéMe were successful in creating reprogrammable flash cartridges for the use of above mentioned homebrew ROM images, as well as dumped commertial ROM images, on the Pokémon Mini system itself.

Darkfader and Team PokéMe were also successful in creating software emulators for the Pokémon Mini on PC.

All three of these developments were created solely for hombrew development, but all three can and are also used for piracy.
