This has been bothering me for years, ever since I got FF8 last millenia.
Is it true that you can only buy a pocketstation in Japan? What is it really? Are there other games that uses pocketstation? Do you have a pocketstation?
What is Pocketstation?

Yes and no. It was only ever sold in Japan. But you can find them on eBay and such.Originally Posted by Aurora_sword
From what I gather, a mini hand-held DigiPet-looking device with black block graphics that plays silly games and somehow connects to your PS1.What is it really?
Not that I know of, but probably.Are there other games that uses pocketstation?
No.Do you have a pocketstation?
PSP < Pocketstation
...I'm sure that's not it.PSP < Pocketstation
Apparently, PS1 memory cards that have more than 128kB of storage space use some sort of Pocketstation-like technology, because the PS2 recognize them as Pocketstations.
Yeah, I noticed that too..
But I think the smallest memory card capacity for PSX is 1MB (the 15 blocks one)
No, that's one megabit. You see, sony tricked us into believing we got one whole megabyte, but it's really just 128 kB. You'll notice whenever you stick a standard PS1 memory card in your PS2. It'll say 122kb free when it's empty. When it's bit, you should also use a lowercase "b", but it seems like Sony conveniently forgot that. The PS2 memory cards however, are 8 megabytes, not megabits.
Oh, when I've gotten started about memory cards, I feel like ranting about the GC memory cards. They're 4 megabits, which equals 512 kB or something. This is half a megabyte, and they cost about half of what a PS2 memory card costs. This means GC memory cards cost 8 times more than PS2 memory cards, when comparing how much space you get. Talk about ripping us off.
