Play to Befriend a Pokémon! was a Flash game formerly available on Pokémon.com. It was a Pokémon Global Link promotion. The goal is to break blocks with a bouncing ball, similar to Breakout. Players use the paddle to keep the ball from falling out of bounds. When the ball hits blocks consecutively, the score increases by 100 each hit. Sometimes when a block is hit, an orb of its color will fall. These orbs, when caught by the paddle, are worth 500 points each. There are 4 levels, and the player starts with 3 lives. They may earn more lives and power-ups later. After playing, the orbs caught, depending on what kind, can be used to redeem 1 free Pokémon via the Pokémon Dream World, provided the player is signed in under their Pokémon Trainer Club account. These Pokémon are Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon. The game was removed after May 19, 2011, and the .swf file for it was actually deleted from the site.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is an Adobe Flash game published by Extra Toxic as part of its Nintendo advent calendar microsite. The game was made to promote the game of the same name.

Once the player starts the game, the player will have to alternate between clicking on one of their swords to send a beam into the opposing character (when that character is not using a shield on that spot), and holding up their own shield to deflect the other character's sword. While the character that the player is facing will change after either character hits the other, the player is always playing as Mario. The game ends when either the player or the computer-controlled character hits their opponent five times. If the player wins, the game will save the amount of time it took for them to finish the game as the player's record.
