Pokemon Zany Cards launched in 2001 on Pokemon mini. It used the tiny handheld to do quick card antics instead of pretending it was a full console. 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

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.
