Pokémon Dash! is the first (and currently only) Pokémon racing game, and is also the first Pokémon game for the Nintendo DS. In Japan, Europe and Australia, it was a launch title for the DS.

Using a stylus, the player can control a Pokémon and race to the finish line. There are five main cups to compete in, as well as tournaments that put the player against a faster level of Pokémon. Each cup has five courses within its area. Pokémon Dash has many Pokémon, stages, and courses of different terrains to choose from. The player can link up to a maximum of six Nintendo DS.

Despite the use of the franchise, this spin-off has been largely ignored by gamers. The game has also obtained generally negative reviews.
