The Nintendo GameCube (ニンテンドーゲームキューブ Nintendo GameCube) is Nintendo's sixth generation home console. A few Pokémon spinoff games were released with the system, and any Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games were backward compatible via the Game Boy Player. Pokémon games released for the Nintendo GameCube include Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire, Pokémon Channel, Pokémon Colosseum, and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
At Spaceworld 2000, a tech demo titled Meowth's Party had been presented, and three years later, a refined variation would be added in Pokémon Channel as an unlockable.
The system was first released on September 14, 2001 in Japan, then on November 18, 2001 in North America, then on May 3, 2002 in Europe, and on May 17, 2002 in Australia.

- Super Smash Bros. Melee is the only Nintendo GameCube game with Pokémon content that released during Generation II.
- In pre-release builds of Pokémon Channel, an indigo Nintendo GameCube can be seen connected to the player's TV, just like in Pokémon Ruby Version and Pokémon Sapphire Version and Pokémon Emerald Version, where a TV in the room of the player's house has a connected Nintendo GameCube, the most recent Nintendo console during Generation III, when all three games had been released.
