    YOOO! I have the smoochum pink one of these, I remember my grandma going to the US when I was a kid and bringing it back as a gift with all the little games, I only found it again recently (even with it's little pink pouch and smoochum keychain lol) but I couldn't get it working for the same reason of battery connector rust - I just tried your tip of using a little tinfoil rn and it's switching on again I am so PUMPED I have so much nostalgia for this little thing aw man, thanks dude.

    I still have my Chikorita Green Pokémon Mini, and all five games for it that made it out of Japan, and I gotta say, I think you sold Pokémon Pinball Mini a little short. Each stage can absolutely be failed- some require you to score a certain number of points, others require you to get the ball into each hole once, some have you catch the Pokémon to unlock them as bumpers, and all with time limits. Also, while Pikachu does indeed hit the ball in a random direction, it's not the only bumper. It's not even the first one available to you- you start with Diglett, Pikachu's just the first one you get to catch. Diglett's pretty basic, Pikachu hits the ball in a random direction, Clefairy lets you use the D-pad to influence the ball's direction upon being hit, Wobbuffet hits the ball with a lot of power but is a bit slower, and Poliwag doesn't have a lot of power but can be used to hit the ball pretty quickly. Also, some bumpers aren't allowed on certain stages- any given Pokémon can't be used to replay its own catching level, Clefairy is obviously banned on some of the trickier stages, there's a number of aquatic themed stages that only allow Poliwag, and the final level only allows you to use Diglett, since that's what you started with. And that's just off the top of my head. It doesn't play like the other two Pokémon Pinball titles, but not in a bad way.

    I always wanted one of these as a kid!! It is so cool to see what the gameplay looks like :D
    A a side note, you can clean the battery contacts by taking out the battery and soak the contacts with white vinegar (a cotton swab works best for this application). It'll help stop the rust a well as eat any battery acid that could be on the contacts. After a few min, you can take a dry cotton bud and polish the contact. A lot of the time this helps to take off the rust (you do sometimes need to use a bit of elbow grease), if the contact aren't toooooo rusty. Once you're sure it is fully dry, it will be safe to turn on and test. Considering the foil worked, this method could help to clean up the contacts enough to work without it :D
    Hope you have a great rest of your day :)

    Ah, but I do know of the Pokémon Mini. I remember seeing it in... Boots of all places (or at least where there now is a Boots in the city I visit; perhaps it was a different store back then) and wanting one because it was Pokémon themed and had a pinball game. I never did get it; saving my pocket money up for games on consoles and handhelds I already had rather than buy a new system. I figured it was Pokémon themed and so would stick around for a while... aside from the year I saw, I new saw one in person ever again.
    1:12 - I do love how they designed the box-art for these colour variants. Really neat idea.
    3:07 - The coincidence here is scary, as when I got those McDonald Sonic the Hedgehog games (owned the Tails and Sonic one), my first thought was that they reminded me on the Pokémon Mini that I never got to own.
    5:54 - A shame to hear that the pinball game that had me intrigued about this system all those years ago turned out to not be any good.
    9:37 - Zany Cards does indeed sound like the most fun with what you've described.

      Honestly this video doesn't do Pokémon Pinball Mini much justice. It doesn't play like other Pokémon Pinball titles, true enough, but not in a bad way. There's like multiple levels to play through with different objectives- some levels require you to get the ball in each hole once, some levels have you try to beat the high score in a set period of time, some levels are for catching other Pokémon to use as bumpers- there's five different ones and they all play differently; Diglett, the one you start with, is pretty basic; Pikachu, as noted, hits the ball in a random direction; Wobbuffet sacrifices speed for power; Clefairy lets you use the D-Pad to influence the ball's direction once hit; and Poliwag sacrifices power for speed. Some levels even restrict which bumpers you can use. A few examples- a lot of the trickier levels obviously ban Clefairy; Some levels, usually with an aquatic motif, will only allow Poliwag; the final level only allows Diglett; and a Pokémon can't be used to replay its own catching level. It's honestly a really cool game IMO. I still go back to it to try and beat my best times and high scores on some levels.

      Shaking the device isn't specific to Party Mini. If you shake it while playing Pokémon Tetris, the block currently falling flips backwards, so the S block becomes the Z block, and vice versa. Extremely useful little tip for that game.
