PokéROM (found "Pokémon" edutainment series; 2000)
Title screen.
Status: Partially Found
PokéROM is a series of collectible edutainment CD-ROMs made by The Learning Company along with Mattel. Each CD-ROM is in a bootable business card format for each Pokémon.
Availability
PokéROMs were released in 3 series: Movie, Premier, and Mystery. Only one disc in the Mystery series, Charizard, has been dumped. Discs in the Mystery series are the most rare because of The Learning Company ceasing to exist around the time of their release. Also, there are regional variants (such as French) that are missing as well.
All Movie and Premier discs have been preserved to Redump standards by a user named Aringon using a special drive called a Plextor. While preserving them, a collector contacted them saying they have all PokéROMs in existence (including the Mystery ones). The collector said they would buy a Plextor eventually (and does not want anyone else buying one for them), however it's unclear if it will actually happen.
Anyone who has any mystery PokéROMs should join the VGPC Discord Server and contact Aringon#7510.
