"Not even fit for a fan."

Ok, I used to be a big-time Pokemon fan. I still play the games, too. Anyways, I have nothing against Pokemon, but THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE. How? How could they make this game? I asked my 5-year old brother if he wanted the game, and he rejected it. A 5-year old who loves Pokemon! It's so bad, the 5-year old fan rejected it. If you have a Nintendo 64, get Hey You Pikachu!. It's better. But, to get to the point, I'm gonna tell you every little detail about how wrong this game is. Well, at least those which come to mind. Lets move on.

Gameplay:1/10

Ok, in this game, you're not going to be doing a lot of PLAYING. Nope. You're going to be watching your TV, while there's a Pikachu watching TV on your TV... What? Yeah. However, it may be fun for a fan for the first hour or so, but things seriously die out when you run out of things to do. Other then buying things, answering questions, answering more questions and getting cards, and playing Tic Tac Toe with a sore-losing Pikachu (He'll electrocute you if you beat him), there is nearly no interaction in this game.

Graphics: 8/10

Not bad, Nintendo. One of the few good points about the game are the graphics. Of course, the graphics don't make the game. However, the graphics are really smooth and I haven't seen any problems with graphics. Then again, I didn't really play the game too much.. but I'm pretty sure I would have noticed it.

Sound: 7/10

Once again, the sound effects are ok. The music's not too bad, either, and some is even from Hey You Pikachu! for the Nintendo 64. Another fan note, you can hear a few new voices in this game, just in case you were wondering what they sounded like. Not bad.

Replay: 0/10

I'm ashamed. The replay value.. nothing! The only reason somebody would turn this game back on, was if it was there only GameCube game, or to see if what they bought the previous day showed up, only to be disappointed in what they find (Even though it came.). Well, ok. They're not always disappointed, but I was after the first to tries. Another note, you can change the GameCube time to make the orders come in faster. Takes some more fun of out of the game, and you won't exactly need to turn it back on the next day, will you? Making a new game.. I would never think about it. I've deleted the data from my Memory Card, and am selling this GAME!

Overall: 1/10

Didn't like it. Only for the first 30 minutes or so I liked it, but then it got repetitive, then you ran out of things to do. I'm ashamed to find a GameCube game as bad as this was made. In fact, I'd rather watch videos of a man dressed up as a purple dinosaur, singing and dancing with a bunch of kids. If you want a fun game for young kids, try Super Mario Sunshine. I still would play it even at my age. Mumma mia, this is'a horrible game'a! (I mean Pokemon Channel)
