Pokemon Puzzle Collection proved even a novelty handheld could host a respectable little Pokemon puzzle cartridge.
Pokemon Puzzle Collection launched in 2001 on Pokemon mini. It proved even a novelty handheld could host a respectable little Pokemon puzzle cartridge. These tiny releases were built for the Pokemon mini hardware, which meant the whole experience had to sell itself in short bursts and toy-sized delight.
Example
On the tiny Pokemon mini hardware in 2001, it proved the brand was willing to turn even a novelty handheld into a full product line.
Why it matters
The Pokemon mini line is a perfect relic of how willing the brand once was to turn mascots into hardware experiments. Even the strangest corners were commercialized.
