''Power Pro-kun Pocket 10'' is a 2007 Baseball simulator + dating sim + card game + turn based RPG developed by Pawapuro Production, formerly Diamond Head, and published by Konami for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS. The game was billed as the tenth "anniversary" of the series instead of "installment". A confusing choice of words as ''Pawapoke 1'' is from 1999, ''Power Pro GB'' is from 1998 and the franchise's Success mode began in '96.

This was the single installment in the series to see a western release as ''MLB Power Pros 2008'', but instead of localizing it or adapting the story from the console version, Konami butchered everything but the Baseball simulator. Even the icons for perks. Certain elements of this version such as the profile pictures for real life players were then re-imported into ''Pawapoke 11''.

The Baseball simulator has finally thrown pixel art out of the window and finally introduces voiced commentary for the matches, though all those 3D chibi ballplayers still look identical to each other. Otherwise, the game doesn't have any more notable additions and cuts the Mini Success mode from ''9''. Something the series does from this game onwards is allow you to play both Success modes from the beginning and start out with pre-made characters for use in Pennant mode.

!!This game features the following tropes:
* AnnouncerChatter: Only took ten games to introduce in the ''Pocket'' sister series what was the main selling point of ''Live Powerful Pro Baseball 94''.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: From here on, you can play the Inner Success and Pennant modes as soon as you start playing the game.
* ArtShift: Baseball matches now depict characters in 3D, but for some reason they turn back into sprites whenever a home run is scored.
* BookDumb: Hero 10 is great at Baseball but cannot add fractions and gets single-digit scores on tests.
* EasterEgg: Click and hold the bottom-left corner of the screen in the minigame menu to access a hidden minigame.
* LighterAndSofter: The game's story was written to be more in line with the ordinary Baseball stories from the main ''Pawapuro'' games, unless you follow a certain love interest's storyline.
