Collector interest

Pocket Battle, a pocket-creature RPG published by Tomy in 1996, appeared the very year Pokémon would redefine the genre, placing it among the era's short-lived rival concepts. Its small Japanese print run and obscurity explain a complete price far above the loose figure. Desirability rests on this pre- or para-Pokémon curiosity status, sought by enthusiasts documenting the wave of monster-catching games on Game Boy.
