<div class="text-justify"><p>Pokémon Mini was developed and developed by the Nintendo company and launched in 2001 in different parts of the world. Although it was the smallest handheld console in the world, it was not as successful as the nascent sunshine company had hoped it would be, but it was one of the best-selling consoles in its history.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>Many people mistook them for Tamagotchi, but they were very different because it was a handheld console with a slot on the back of it where cartridges were inserted - these were different mini-games from the Pokémon universe.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>They were presented in three editions, these were identified by the Pokémon in the box, these were Chikorita, Smoochum and Wooper which were green, purple and blue respectively, you could visualize these Pokémon in each of their boxes.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>The Pokémon mini only used a triple AAA battery which lasted approximately 60 hours, this was due to the low power consumption of its display which was monochromatic and also to the reading of its cartridges that it made through its slot.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>10 games were released for this handheld console, these were focused on the universe of Pokémon among them you could find Tetris, card games, puzzles, Pinball, among others, were not characterized by having many details such as history or outstanding graphics, could be determined how casual video games as they did not require great skill or ability to win them.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>The Pokémon Mini had the unique feature of having a motion sensor, which allowed for entertaining gameplay with most of its games, and also allowed you to connect to another Pokémon Mini via an infrared port, opening up the possibility of sharing or transmitting data between players.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>Due to very low sales Nintendo left the production of this handheld console, accessing another project which was very similar to the Pokémon Mini, it was a Tamagotchi by Pikachu, one of the most famous Pokémon of its animated series, as expected was sold successfully as these virtual pets were very popular.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>If you would like to experiment with the smallest console in the world you can find it in different websites, however, it is not cheap at all, its price is between $80 and $200, this is for the few units that were sold, making it quite scarce, and their games are even more expensive.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>Although the idea of creating a very small handheld was a good one at that time, there were already better options like the Game Boy Advance, so many gamers preferred to go to a larger catalog of games, leaving only fans of the Pokémon saga who were the main buyers of the Pokémon Mini.</p></div>
