  • Summary: For those who have always wished for more Pokémon programming on TV, here's a game that gives the Pokémon their own channel. Pokémon Channel lets you spend some quality time with Pikachu watching loads of Pokémon-style shows, including a never-before-seen DVD-quality animated feature starring the popular Pichu Bros. Identify Pokémon on Quiz Wobbuffet, exercise in Smoochum's Shape-up, and get the latest news from Psyduck and Meowth on Pokémon News Flash. Pokémon Channel also features collectible Nice Cards.

    The channels may not be exciting, but in a child’s eyes, they will be quite entrancing.
  2. Hours of fun for Pokemon fans. [Feb 2004, p.150]
  3. A well-executed... thing that's somehow being mis-sold as a video game. Either somebody at Nintendo is a certifiable maniac, or this is the future of video games. We're pretty sure it's the former.

    Very unique, but face it. Pokemon needs to stop riding a dead horse. This game is interesting, but probably just too weird for people.
