A previously download-only Pokémon fishing game, PokéPark Fishing Contest DS, has appeared in an eBay auction, prompting intense interest from collectors and game preservationists. The game matters because it was distributed only at Pokémon events and deleted itself shortly after download, leaving little surviving evidence beyond videos and fan recreations.

The listing is believed to involve the internal hard drive from a kiosk used to distribute the game rather than a conventional cartridge, despite the auction description. Bidding had exceeded $9,100 at the time of publication, although archivists caution that the hard drive may contain only download data or may not hold the game itself; they hope its eventual buyer will archive and share any recoverable material.
