## Summary

A Pokémon collector has uncovered a working copy of PokéPark Fishing Rally DS, a game once available only to visitors at a Japanese theme park in 2005. The discovery revives a piece of gaming history that had become lost media and lets players experience the limited-time game again.

Daniel Qudari demonstrated that his development cartridge runs on a Nintendo DS and can wirelessly send the game to other DS consoles. The original park download lasted 12 hours and was erased when the console was switched off; the game featured fishing locations, Water-Type Pokémon and competitions with leaderboards. The cartridge has been authenticated and preserved by PSA.
