“Card games with a Pok\u00e9 twist!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Who remembers the Pok\u00e9mon Mini, eh?
\n…
\nThought as much.<\/p>\n

Besides the thrill of owning yet more Pok\u00e9mon<\/i> merchandise to milk our wallets dry, I never really saw the excitement behind these. I think even as a young’un, I knew when something was little more than a quick distraction. Why shell out \u00a345 for a Pok\u00e9mon Mini and game when I could get a proper Pok\u00e9mon<\/i> instalment on Game Boy for less that cost and octuple the content?<\/p>\n

Of course, now I can see the excitement of a handheld cheap enough to not bring a frown to a parent’s face, and games that could probably be bought with a few weeks’ allowance. If the main games weren’t enough to satiate you, this must’ve been a great extra to a Pok\u00e9-crazy kid. Not to mention it’s neat that there was even a Pok\u00e9mon-centric handheld to begin with. Imagine if other franchises got the same treatment! A handheld Legend of Zelda<\/i> where you could buy new adventure packs in separate cartridges would be a real treat, if fanmade projects hadn’t conquered that avenue already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
