'''Ganbare Neo Poke-Kun''' was an unusual game for the [[Neo Geo Pocket Color]], which drew direct inspiration from the majority of [[video game]] history. The game was divided into two modes; observing Neo Poke-Kun in his tiny studio apartment (a stripped-down homage to [[Little Computer People]]), and playing the minigames that Neo Poke-Kun would create for you as long as you kept him happy. In a manner that prefigured and probably inspired [[Nintendo]]'s [[Wario Ware, Inc.]], the minigames that Neo Poke-Kun invented were very short, and usually parodies of popular video games. He would begin simply, creating his own versions of [[Pong]] and [[Breakout]], and would gradually move up to historical sims (a'la [[Nobunaga's Ambition]]), [[shmup]]s, and [[fighting game]]s. The game used the Neo Geo Pocket Color's internal clock to control the speed at which Neo Poke-Kun created games, when he slept, when he went to work, etc.

The observation mode mostly involved giving Neo Poke-Kun random visitors (including a beautiful woman, a naked man with floor-length nose-hairs, and an old man who slowly inches his way into the room then dies of a heart attack), and generally annoying him by dropping things on his head.

==Trivia==
*Since this game, Neo Poke-Kun was used as the [[Neo Geo Pocket]] mascot until the "death" of this console.
*This little character wasn't forgotten by [[SNK Playmore|SNK]], since he has appeared in various artwork for the company - being used in part of the [[Falcoon]] artwork for KOF 2001 (in one of his "character cards", when [[Li Xiangfei]] is playing in a [[Neo Geo Pocket]] with Neo Poke-Kun in her shoulder).
*Neo Poke-Kun appears recently in ''[[Neo Geo Battle Coliseum]]'', being the mascot of one of the protagonists of this game: [[Ai (Neo Geo Battle Coliseum)|Ai]]. Also appeared in almost all Ai's artworks.
