In more recent years, Pokémon.com has featured online games to promote the Pokémon franchise. Most are Flash-based, though more recent games have been Java-based. While most still exist on the site and many that have been removed have been mirrored elsewhere, a few games that were removed don't seem to exist anywhere.
