Pokémon Masters Arena

Pokémon Masters Arena (not to be confused with the 2019 mobile game Pokémon Masters) is...a bunch of generic minigames. That’s the most flattering description it could be given.

Unused Graphics#

Please elaborate.
Having more detail is always a good thing.
Specifically: ”More unused graphics than what’s listed”?
