Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is 2011 (the exact day and month are not documented) for Worldwide on Eighth-generation handheld. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Worldwide. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Game card / digital. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04

Editions and revisions

20 hardware configurations are linked to this family: Aqua Blue, Cosmo Black, Flame / Flare Red, Misty / Pearl Pink, Ice White, Cobalt Blue, Midnight Purple, Metallic Red, 12 more.
