All ya do is watch Pikachu watch TV. Not fun. The people on TechTV's "X-Play" gave it a 1 out of 5. I agree wholeheartedly.

What is this!?!

I was at a conveince store yesterday and saw the worst gamne Nintendo has ever created! Pokemon Channel!? This is worse than "Hey You Pikachu". Everything is really boring, a weak storyline, and the worst for last: thoase annoying pokemon cries! For once, I wish I could just put duck-tape on their mouth! Overall, save your money for something else.

Pokemon chanel? a videogame or a tv show

I first heard of this game on x-play(a tv show that reviews games) and I first thought it was something like a pokemon battle thingy but I saw it was nothing more than something you watch! This isnt even a videogame If u ask me. i would rather save my money for other VIDEOGAMES, than waste my money on this.

The worst game ever....

This game is pathetic. I am insulted that Nintendo would sell a product to me like this. There are only five areas to explore(your house, the yard, a beach, some snow place, and a forest) which is kind of pathetic. The objective is to collect cards and collect these TV chip things that allow you to watch new channels. Its kind of stupid when u see the same channel over and over and over........especially when you get to watch a bunch of sheep jump over some fence. (I have seen it go over 500, and it never changes.) The only good thing about the game is that you can watch some new pokemon show, but it doesnt even last that long. Then they try to make it seem like u get alot of channels by remaking the new show in Japanese, full edition, and then 3 other channels that play different parts of the show. If you really want to buy this game, rent it. Its not worth $20 for only one day of fun.

Watch Pikachu Watch TV!

Do you love Pokemon, but wish that Nintendo would drop all of that RPG crap with the Water beats Fire and the going from town to town? Well your in luck! Those generous fokes at Nintendo have made a sequal to their title "hey You Pikachu", and it's even MORE boring this time around.

This time, the big catch is you can watch television with Pikachu. Yes, that's right, Nintendo wants you to spend your hard earned money on a "game" that pretty much is about sitting infront of a television, viewing programing so terrible you'll wonder why Nintendo didn't add a warning lable staying "Warning: "Playing" this may infact lower your child's IQ".

Sure, you get to also go run around with Pikachu or whatnot, but it gets old fast. Like UBER fast. Your child will most likly be tired of it within the week.

Want to get a Pokegame for the Gamecube? Get Pokemon Collisium or Pokemon XD. Sure, your child might actually have to THINK their way through battles, and do the whole Role-Playing game thing. But trust me, they'll have much more fun with those titles then with this trash.

um.......?

The Gamecube has been out for two years and now we finally have a Pokemon game for it. Unfortunately this might not really be a game. Lets start with some details and what this game does right first. Apparently Prof. Oak has been hard at work on a television network for Pokemon (does the man have a life?). Now you've been chosen to test this network and see if it's any good. Right when the television is delivered guess who suddenly breaks into your house? If you said Pikachu you're unfortunately correct (more on that later). So now you and Pikachu (who is apparently allowed to break the law) are now tasked to watch this network and see how it works. Each channel has different Pokemon themed shows such as PNF (Pokemon News Flash), Shop n Squirtle, Pichu Bros Party Panic Anime, and Slowpokes weather report. There are more but they're neither interesting nor fun to watch. Let's start with the good. The graphics are okay, not heavily detailed, but they get the job done with the exception of some of the Pokemon models looking like they came from the N64 games. You can occasionally go outside and see different Pokemon, which is pretty cool. The shopping channel even sells bus passes which can take you to different areas to see different Pokemon. Now the bad and there are more of these than the good. If you hate Pikachu this WILL increase your hatred ten fold at least. He always wants to watch TV! It usually takes an act of congress to get him to go outside and see the different Pokemon, which is arguably the best part of this game. Now some of the shows are okay but noo he wants to watch all of them including crap like Smoochum exercising for five minutes. It's like babysitting some annoying child. After a few days of this you will try to get him run over by the bus (sadly you cannot). Now my biggest gripe: lack of interactivity to the point you question whether you have a DVD or a game. Everything here has you watching. Sure you get to click on things but after that you only get to see what Pikachu does with them (which if you don't like him anyway you won't want to see him roll around with a ball for example). As an interesting side note (and this is neither good nor bad) this game runs on real time like Animal Crossing. So if you're Gamecube's clock is set correctly and you turn this on at three PM it will be the same in the game. At first this intrigued me but it soon became clear that this feature is very limited here. For example there are no exact time specific events such as "Charmander only comes out from three to four in the afternoon". Instead it seems as though things are divided into three time sections each day: playing before noon, playing from noon to seven PM, and playing from seven PM to seven AM when the first section starts again. While simplistic it does keep the game from ending too quickly unless you mess with the clock. Each day when you save it unlocks things that when turned on in the proper time section the next day you can access. As stated before it isn't complex in the least but it does serve to stretch out what would be an otherwise short game. I know you're thinking I'm being too harsh on a game that's geared towards children right? Well it's because I know that tons of older Pokemon fans will pick this up and be disappointed. I almost did but thankfully I rented it first. Even at thirty dollars it's too much for what an older person would get out of it. However if you're a parent looking for good game for your pokemon-loving child this is actually a good choice. I could see a child enjoying it. Anyone over ten would be wise to wait until this can be picked up for at most half the price, I know I'm going to.

not that good
