* ObjectShapedLandmass: Some of the islands which can be raced during the courses of the game look like Pokemon, such as Pikachu Island (which resembles a Pikachu) or Luvdisc Island (which resembles a Luvdisc). It's taken even further when a GBA cartridge of one of the mainline Gen III games is inserted, as it allows you to race on landmasses shaped like any of the Pokemon which were available at the time of the game's release.

''Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Dash'' is a racing game developed by Ambrella, and the first ''Pokémon'' game to be released on the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS. The player uses the touch screen to control Pikachu in a race against five other Pokémon. On the way to the goal, racers must pass checkpoints scattered across the map. Easier difficulties require these checkpoints to be passed in a specific order, while the Expert difficulty allows them to be passed in any order.

This is Ambrella's last ''Pokémon'' game so far to use a traditional art style for the Pokémon, before they switched over to SuperDeformed character models beginning with their next game, ''VideoGame/MyPokemonRanch''.

Each difficulty has five Cups, further divided into five courses each. Further courses may be unlocked through events or connectivity to older ''Pokémon'' games.

!! Tropes used in ''Pokémon Dash'':
* {{Balloonacy}}: Averted in actual gameplay, where all flying is done in proper hot air balloons, but the boxart and a pair of hidden sprites play this straight.
* CompetitiveMultiplayer: Supports up to six players, and is the only mode to allow you to play as a species other than Pikachu.
* EarlyBirdCameo: This game was the first in the franchise to include Munchlax, a species which made its main series debut two years later in ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl''.
* GreenHillZone: The tutorial and the Green Cup take place in a lush, green area.
* MuckingInTheMud: A literal version appears in parts of the Blue Cup, but really, ''any'' terrain except paved roads slows you down.
* NitroBoost: Running across special patterns on the ground negates slowdown on the corresponding terrain types.
* NoPlotNoProblem: There is no plot. None whatsoever.
* OldSaveBonus: 417 additional courses in the shape of Pokémon may be unlocked by inserting a Gen III main series game into the DS' GBA slot.
* TimeTrial: Time Attack mode, which is limited to courses the player has completed in other modes.
