This game is hard to describe---it's not really a game, in a way. It's more like a Pokemon experience, where you do things with your pal Pokemons. One of the main parts of the game is watching TV with your pokemon---probably not something your kids really need more of, but it's pretty interactive TV---you can shop on the shopping channel, play along with a game show channel, view art you drew on an art channel, etc... The things you buy get delivered, after a day or so---so there is some real time aspects here. You can redecorate your room over and over with new wallpaper and toys, and you can collect cards with Pokemon on them. All in all, this game is about doing electronically things you could do in real life. I found it got old fast, but my sons really seem to enjoy it. They keep coming back to it over and over. I do like the slow pace---it's nice to have a non-frantic game for them to play. It also involves a fair amount of reading and some basic math skills. You even get to do a little art, and you can make any part of the main cartoon you watch into a coloring book. If your kids like Pokemon and are fairly young, I think this game might be a hit!

If you buy a game to play a game don't buy this one. Basically you sit Pikachu down in front of a television and watch mini Pokemon cartoons. Maybe good for a young child who is not coordinated enough for regular games. In my opinion you might as well buy a Pokemon DVD or just tune into the cartoon when it is on TV.

Interesting Pokemon Game

Created: 28/09/06
This game kind of reminds me of Hey You, Pikachu, except you cannot actually talk to Pikachu. A big part of this game is involves you watching channels on the TV in the game. From the channels you can buy items to decorate your room and play trivia. You can also venture out into the Pokemon world and do various tasks. Overall this game is interesting, but probably only a game a Pokemon fan would enjoy playing.

Childrens game, but still very fun! Very cute!

Created: 07/04/10
My 8 year old niece loved the game. I'm a 21 year old life long Pokemon fan. I myself enjoy the game, but it will be enjoyed more by youngsters. It's a very simple game that involves more watching than interaction. The game is very unique and reminiscent to the N64 hit "Hey you pikachu!" in that Pikachu serves as something of a virtual pet. You may interact with Pikachu and it can be very comical especially for kids. In conclusion, this game is definitely worth the very low price and anyone can find something they like about it. if you're a Pokemon fan, buy this game!

Pokemon Channel (Game Cube, 2003)

Created: 31/12/09
This is an interesting game for the Gamecube.
Cons:
This one is fairly technical for its primary audience of kids aged 9-14.
You need an e-reader.
You need a Gameboy Advance, Gameboy DS, or Gameboy DS lite, not a DSi.
Make sure you get the e-Reader cards that come with the game too.
You will need the Gamecube/Wii cable for the DS/DS lite, Advance interface.
Pros:
You can interface the DS, DS lite, or Advance to the e-Reader for extras.
Pokemon can be exchanged between these, the e-Reader, and the Gamecube/Wii.
My kids love this one and begged for it. Documentation aside from the game manuals is sparse, but the kids have pieced it together from YouTube?
