History VideoGame / PowerProKunPocket2

''Power Pro-kun Pocket 2'' is a 2000 Baseball simulator + dating sim + ''VideoGame/{{Minesweeper}}'' developed by Diamond Head and published by Konami for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor. It introduced the "Inner Success", a story mode with alternative gameplay that's generally unrelated to Baseball but still awards a custom character upon completion.

The game and its prequel received a compilation remake in the engine of ''6'' for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance in 2004 and that compilation was remade for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in 2021 as ''Power Pro-kun Pocket R''. This second remake has a new gameplay mode called Cyberval. Tropes for that can be found on the page for [[VideoGame/PowerProKunPocket1 the original game]].

* StalkerWithACrush: Hero 1 is dead, so Norika seeks to take Hero 2 as a ReplacementGoldfish.

JustForFun/TheOneWith licensed Nippon Professional Baseball teams... until 2021 at least.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: ''War Edition'' is about surviving a battlefield in the days of WWII and has nothing to do with Baseball except for the protagonist playing a match at the very end, in a cutscene. The player can still build his stats via a {{Tilesweeper}} minigame and convert him to the Baseball simulator mode upon clearing the story.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Unlike in ''1&2'', the ''R'' remake has both ''Drill Moles'' and ''War'' from the get-go.

* BlandNameProduct: It is a big deal of the original version and its story mode that you can take on the official Japanese baseball teams, but the ''R'' remake has been confirmed by Famitsu to use the generic teams from ''VideoGame/PawapokeDash'' in their place.

** The dreaded "Mania" status first appears here. There's a hidden value that determines how much Hero 2 is addicted to nerdy stuff. If it reaches past a certain point, he becomes an {{otaku}} and will randomly spend a week to visit the toy store. ''And you can't heal this!'' When this event is achieved in any of the games it is in, you get an ominous cutscene [[FissionMailed like it is a game over]] and an ending epilogue that shows the protagonist as a miserable shut-in. All this even though in Japan the term "mania" isn't supposed to have the bad meaning "otaku" has...

* StandardStatusEffect:

* UnwinnableByMistake: In the beetle-hunting minigame, it is possible to get completely trapped between beetle corpses. If this happens, the game skips all player turns until the remaining beetles break through the walls.

* ThisIsAWorkOfFiction: The Outer Success story begins with this disclaimer. This was dropped in ''3'' and ''4'', but returned for good in ''5''.

"Hero 2" is an up-and-coming pro ballplayer who's been drafted to the small time Drill Moles team, which turns out to be knee-deep in debts and on the verge of dissolution. Can he bring in more hot-blooded players and make the Moles the best in Japan?
