Pokémon Dash

Race to the finish line with Pikachu and friends in the first Pokémon game for the Nintendo DS! The stylus is used to control Pikachu, running on a variety of race tracks versus different Pokémon over different terrains, including snow, sand, mud, and even lava.

A GBA Pokémon cartridge can be inserted into the DS, allowing the player to create race courses based on the Pokémon they've collected in the GBA games.

The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.

Gamevaro tracks Pokémon Dash for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Pokémon Dash to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2004.

Market insights

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Pokémon Dash, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
