It looks like Pokemon Mini may be coming back, nearly 20 years after it fiܫrst arrived.

The handheld game system was Tamagotchi-sized but could play a selection of Pokemon-themed games, thanks to its Game Boy-style swappable cartridges. As spotted by , the official Nintendo UK website recently added Pokemon Mini to the list of "Original🐲ly for" filters, which let you sort games by which console they were originally released on as well as where you can play them now.

While Pokemon Mini had a total of 10 games, only 5 were released outside of Japan, and those are the ones that currently appear on Nintendo UK site. The Nintendo UK site could just be catching up on less high-profile Nintendo consoles here, but the fact that this category appears to have🐓 been added during Pokemon's 25th anniversary year makes it seem more sign🔥ificant.

Plus, it's not like the list was already almost complete and this is just Nintendo cꦆovering its bases, or els꧙e there would be a Virtual Boy category too. We will never forget you, Virtual Boy.

As one of Nintendo's most obscure video game consoles, Pokemon Mini is prime material for a re-release of some kind. Maybe one of the upcoming Pokemon 25th anniversary announcements will be a new Pokemon Mini collection for Nintendo Switch, or maybe 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Pokemon Company will bring t𝓰hem all to mobile devices for the first time?

If Pokemon Mini comes back, hopefully we'll see th💙e return of Pokemon Pikachu too, for the complete🌌 Pokemon-meets-Tamagotchi experience.

A Pokemon Legends: Arceus fan theory may explain why Cyndaquil, Rowlet, and Oshawott are your starter choices.
