XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Bedroom/Front Yard XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


    Now that Pikachu has come to live with you, you get to actually
explore your own house! Well, your room and the front yard, at least. 
Apparently, you keep your mother in your desk drawer or something, since
the front door of the house leads right into your room and there aren't
any doors that go to anywhere else in the house.

    First, the bedroom. This is where you 'wake up' every morning after
a save. Once Pikachu comes to live with you, it takes over your bed,
although you'll occasionally wake up to find the little critter snoozing
on your shelves, on the pillow in front of the TV, on your desk, on the
floor.... Just like a cat, give it an inch, and it'll take up the whole
room.

    You've got a pretty cool room. Nice bed, pots for indoor plants, a
desk, shelves, a cabinet for all your stuff, and a TV, complete with
Nintendo 64 system (What else?). As your adventures with Pikachu
progress, you collect various knickknacks and assundries that show up on
your shelves and all around your room. Some of these items are fruit,
some of them are flowers, some of them are rewards, and some of them are
toys. If you want to pick up things and play with them, go ahead. Don't
worry, Mom comes through and tidies up your room while you're gone, so
everything'll be right back in the same place when you return.

    There's not really much to do in your room, so Pikachu won't want to
stay there long. The only game that you can play in your room is the
Pokemon Quiz Time game on your Nintendo 64, and Pikachu gets bored with
that pretty quickly. If you want to play it, just say 'Pikachu! Quiz
time!' and it'll turn on the N64 for you.

    Out in the front yard, there's even less to do, even after you
gather enough flowers and vegetables to make a proper garden (I'm not
sure exactly how it's done yet). While Pikachu likes playing out here
more than indoors, it'll get bored fairly quickly with out some
wide-open spaces to explore. Luckily, being free to roam about your own
house means that you've opened the next set of adventures, so we'll get
on to those right now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


=========== Ochre Woods - Pokemon Picnic! Part 2 ===========

    This area is fundamentally the same as the first Pokemon Picnic,
only larger. Also, this time around, you'll have much greater freedom of
movement, which makes this level a breeze.

    Just as before, Pikachu takes you to Ochre Woods. Ochre, as I
mentioned before, means 'Pokemon Litter Box.' Don't step in anything!
(What a lame joke. Oh well.)

    Bulbasaur is waiting with its list of ingredients. Watch the icons
over Bulbasaur's head carefully, as Pikachu's little drawings are hard
to make out, especially concerning mushrooms. Now you're off to gather
up the makings of a fine meal on the go.

    The key to this, and the next Pokemon Picnic, is Abra's Shop. This
little merchant Pokemon is without a doubt, nearly the only way to win
this level. Here's how you use this handy little boon. If you don't have
Abra's shop, go to the cave across the stream and try to lure Pikachu
over there. Once Pikachu investigates, it'll find a Togepi egg and call
you to come look at it. Then, when you take a peek, Abra will show up,
then take the egg from Pikachu using Teleport. The shop should be open
now.

    First things first, scour the level for all the ingredients you can
find right away and put them all in your toolbox. I recommend not giving
them to Pikachu as you find them, because it's easy to forget what
you've already done. Now, if my experience holds true, you've probably
got only three ingredients in your box, maybe four if you're lucky, but
chances are that you're still looking around for one more herb.

    Here is where Abra comes in. Go over to the log bridge next to the
tree on its own little raised platform and cross the bridge. You should
see a cave with a yellow sign over the mouth. The sign will have two
Pokeballs and a picture of Abra's face. This is the shop. Call to
Pikachu, and once its crossed the bridge to answer you, go into the
shop. Buy whatever you want. It doesn't matter.

    Now, when you leave, there'll be an entirely new set of vegetables
and mushrooms scattered on the ground. It's a bonanza! Gather up what
you're missing, and hand them to Pikachu one by one. A few times I've
ended up with five of a particular ingredient using this trick.

    Once you send in four ingredients, Bulbasaur will call everyone in
for lunch. Yummy! You've made.. whatever it is! Huzzah!
----------------------------------------------------------------------



=========== Springleaf Field - Field Trip! Part 2 ===========

    This fun field trip has a purpose and a plan in Pikachu's Play Days.
(At last!) This time, you'll be deeper in to Springleaf and the area
will look a little different. The first time you play this level, you'll
get a little cinema scene with Pikachu and an Oddish. Pikachu will use a
small orange watering can to 'wake up' the Oddish, thus giving you your
quest for this level. Find the Oddish, wake them up, and hope that they
turn into Glooms.

    There's several parts to this particular task. First things first,
you're going to need a new watering can. The one you receive at the
beginning of the level is only good for one more 'serving' of water.
There might be a way to get Pikachu to fill it up for you again, but I
haven't deciphered it yet. The way you get the new watering can is
through Abra's shop. There's one inside the tree at the very top of the
hill. It pops up in the inventory there randomly. The large watering can
is blue and holds 40 'servings' of water.

    Even if you can't get the new watering can, you can track down at
least one more Oddish before the level is over. The way you can tell the
actual Oddish from the deformed vegetables scattering the field is that
the Oddish will occasionally rustle their leaves, if you watch them long
enough. Use your hand cursor to point to a moving Oddish, and tell
Pikachu 'Oddish!' Pikachu will look for the Oddish you're pointing to,
and, if your guess was right, it'll become happy and ask for the
watering can so it can wake the Oddish up. Hold out the can and Pikachu
will come to get it. You can get pretty close to the Oddish, but don't
get too close, or it'll jump up and run away before Pikachu can water
it.. and the little electric rat doesn't like THAT at all.

    If you were wrong in your guess, you'll get a little sign that says
it was a 'strange radish.' Then, Pikachu might get mad and fry the
radish, or just ignore it. In either case, you'll have to try again.

    Hopefully, when the Oddish wakes up, it'll evolve into a Gloom. This
is the purpose of the level, to make one of the Oddish evolve. Why? It
makes the sparkplug happy, of course!

    While you're on this level, don't forget to pick flowers and berries
to store in your collection. Flowers that you collect for the first time
will show up in your room for you and Pikachu to enjoy every day!
----------------------------------------------------------------------



=========== Olivine Lake - Little Lost Poliwag, Part One ===========


    This quest opens up the first truly new area that you'll have seen
yet: The Olivine Lake/Marsh area. The whole thing is basically a series
of piers that link together small bits of island. It's very maze-like.
When you get to the lake, Prof. Oak will tell you to be careful and not
fall into the water. Don't worry about that. It's basically impossible
(I've tried to run into the water several times and it hasn't worked
yet. What kind of game would this be if you could fall in the water and
drown?? Anyway). You'll also find out about the five lost Poliwags who
are under the care of a Poliwrath who lives here. You and Pikachu
undertake the task of gathering up the little nippers to get 'em back to
their Mum.. Err.. Dad.. err.. whatever the Poliwrath is. Why? Because
there's nothing else to do in Olivine. At all.

    The only way to find the Poliwags is to get out there in the maze
and track 'em down. It's pretty easy, just wait for the hand cursor to
pop up somewhere, use the B button to make sure it's a Poliwag, then,
with the hand cursor still pointing, tell Pikachu 'Poliwag!' Pikachu
will look around for the baby Pokemon, and hopefully, will notice it.
Then, the Poliwag will come bouncing over and fall in line behind
Pikachu. Rinse and repeat until you find all five. If you happen to see
Squirtle while you're wandering around, don't get too close unless
you've got all the Poliwags. Going to see Squirtle signifies the end of
the 'day' and you'll be sent home no matter if you're ready or not.

    If you succeed, Squirtle will give you a silver coin for your good
deed. Good job!! If not, you'll still get some kind of prize, but it
might not be the silver coin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------



=========== Cobalt Beach - Pokemon Pinata Party!! ===========


    It's a beach party!!! Hurray! This is one of the most difficult
mini-games of all because it relies solely on your ability to command
Pikachu vocally. This game... whew.. We (that's myself and my sibling
testing team) came dangerously close to teaching Pikachu a few new words
while trying to win this one. Four letter type words.

    The basic idea it to direct a blindfolded Pikachu to the Pinata that
Butterfree is holding. This sounds easier to do than it actually is. You
will use commands such as 'Wrong way!' 'Straight ahead!' 'Further Left!'
'Further Right!' and 'There!' to tell Pikachu where to go and when to
swing. You and Pikachu will have to break open the Pinata two times out
of three to 'beat' the mini-game, win the harmonica, and open up the
Treasure Hunt.

    Even though this is hard, there are several tricks that will make it
a little easier to reach your goal. First, move around the ring to make
sure that Pikachu is going in the right direction. Don't plant yourself
in one place and yell orders from there. If it looks like Pikachu is
getting close, scoot around for a fresh angle to make sure it hasn't
veered off to the right. Second, and this is very important, REMEMBER TO
USE THE RIGHT PHRASES. Screaming 'No!! Noooooo!! Not there, the OTHER
way!' won't do you any good. Use your commands calmly and with good
enunciation. If it doesn't work the first time, give the command again.
Third, and this is pretty obvious, know your right from your left. If
you're facing Pikachu and you need to tell it to turn, remember that the
directions are backwards. It's stupid and simple, but that's just a
little reminder. Pikachu doesn't know which way YOUR left is, it only
knows which way it's left is.

    If you're successful, you'll get the harmonica from Venusaur.
Pikachu will play the harmonica on the beach, and that will summon
Lapras, who will then transport you and Pikachu to the Treasure Island.
Inbetween, you and Pikachu will camp out in the woods, where you'll have
to tell Pikachu to scare off a pesky Haunter with Thunder Bolt. Then,
you'll be on the beach of the island, ready to hunt down treasure!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------



=========== Celedon Island - Treasure Hunt! Part One ===========


    The premise of this level is simple. Find the treasure!! It's all
about the treasure chests, baby.

    Basically, there are several buried treasure chests all around the
island. Calling attention to one of them with the hand cursor and
'Pikachu!' 'Treasure!' will cause Pikachu to dig it up. Each treasure
chest has a sign that tells you what Pikachu has to do to open up the
chest. On this level, it's mostly variations on Pikachu's electric
powers (Thunder Bolt, Thunder Shock, and Thunder). Give Pikachu the
commands when it asks you what to do, and you'll get the treasure
inside!

    On this level, most of the treasures aren't all that great, but this
is just practice for the NEXT treasure hunt in Pikachu's Daring Days
(Which you've opened now). Collect everything you can, and go home 
happy!
----------------------------------------------------------------------



=========== Pikachu's Playground ===========

    After all of this excitement, you'll go home, save, and sleep. When
you wake up, Oak will have a message for you. It's time for you to learn
two new view options that'll help you communicate with Pikachu: The C
Button Views. The down C button is your First Person View, which will
allow you to look up in the air, or down at your feet. This will help
you to be more specific in your item selections with the hand cursor.
The up C button is the Pikachu View, an option that keeps you faced
towards Pikachu all the time (This is the view that was enforced on you
during Pikachu's Play Days. Use sparingly). You'll get a small demo in
your room, but then it's on to some heavy-duty training in view usage.
For this training, Oak will take you to Pikachu's Playground.

    During this part, Oak will give you instructions on what to tell
Pikachu. Most of this is very simple. Point to the object in question
and say 'There.' So easy. The only part that is difficult is the apple
on the other side of the gorge, but it's very easy when you know what
you're doing. When Oak asks you to tell Pikachu to bring you the apple,
send Pikachu to the small mound of dirt (hard to miss, there's only one)
and it'll go through a cave that'll take it to the other side, where it
can use Thunder Bolt and knock down the apple. Yay! All finished!
----------------------------------------------------------------------



=========== Megaphone Game ===========

    This is a random event that happens from time to time throughout the
game. Pikachu will run away with your Pokehelper and you'll be required
to use a Megaphone to call the miniature static electricity generator
back to your side.

    The first time this happens, your mom will wake you up with the bad
news that Pikachu has run away. Then, Prof. Oak will call, and seeing
your distress, send you the Megaphone. Then, you'll go out into the
fields to find Pikachu. When you track it down (this is automatic, don't
worry about actually finding Pikachu), you have to use the Megaphone to
'shoot' speech bubbles at Pikachu, who will be traipsing around with the
Pokehelper on it's head. As in the first time when you had to get
Pikachu's attention, what you say doesn't matter at all. I use 'Pika'
myself, because it's quick and easy to say. Use the control stick to aim
the Megaphone and the Z button to talk, just like always. If you 'hit'
Pikachu with your speech bubbles three times, it'll bring back the
Pokehelper. Too bad it never comes within throttling range. ;)

Voice Commands

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    This list is anything but complete. I'm listing some of the most
used commands and a few of the special ones that relate to certain
levels or areas. Here's a little suggestion when using voice commands:
If Pikachu isn't responding, try to break up the command into two
commands. For example instead of saying 'Pikachu, Thunder Shock!' all at
once, try 'Pikachu!' THEN say 'Thunder Shock!' Also, saying the name of
an item or Pokemon will cause Pikachu to look for it. (List of items
down below!)


'Pikachu!'          
'Hello!'
'Good morning!'
'Good bye!'
'Wake up!'
'See you tomorrow!'
'Over here!'
'Taste it'
'Smell it'
'Throw it'
'Eat it'
'Play it'
'Take this'
'That'
'Thunder!'
'Thunder Shock!'
'Thunder Bolt!'
'Quiz Time!'
'What's up there?'
'You're so cute!'
'Cute!'
'Cool!'
'Good job!'
'Yes!'
'No'
'Sure'
'OK'
'Further right'
'Further left'
'Straight ahead'
'Wrong way'
'Swing!'
'There!'
'Stop!'
'Pull!'
'Reel it in'
'Hang in there'
'Tag, you're it!'
'Dance!'
'Open Sesame!'
'Stay at my house'


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    Items

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    Hey You Pikachu! has a HUGE number of items that everyone's favorite
Pokemon can play with. I doubt that this list is complete, since I find
something new almost every time I play the game. I'll keep adding things
as I find them. Once you get the Toolbox, collecting items during
adventures will give you Pikachu Points, which equal money in Abra's
shop, so gather up things that look valuable.

***Ball - Bounces. Good for throwing.
***Acorn - A Pikachu treat when cooked with Thunder Bolt.
***Apple - Usually sour until cooked with Thunder Bolt
***Raspberry - Sweet and yummy. A Pikachu favorite.
***Strawberry - Tart and tasty. Beloved by Pikachu.
***Banana - Rare and scrumptious! The peels are slippery, though!!
***Cupcake - A delicious goody for Pikachu.
***Hook - Used for fishing.
***Watering Can - Comes in two versions, Big and Small. Water Field Trip 
Oddishes with it.
***Harmonica - Win this when you break open at least two pinatas at the 
pinata party. Pikachu can play it and call Lapras to get to Celedon 
Island for the treasure hunt!
***Leaf Whistle - Get Pikachu to play it (totally adorable!)
***Bolt - A part from a dismembered Magnimite. (Actually, it's probably 
not, but since you find them in those weird hidden caves during the 
picnic along with assundry magnets, it brought to mind a 'Secret 
Magnimite Burial Ground). Pikachu loves it, for some reason.
***Magnet - A Pikachu treasure. I guess that electric-types just like 
magnets. Don't ask me why.
***Lightbulb - It lights up when Pikachu holds it! Isn't that cute? 
Collect it on Pikachu's Playground while training with Prof. Oak.
***Megaphone - Use this to call Pikachu when it is far away.
***Ruby - Valuable gem. Get it for babysitting the Caterpie.
***Saphire - Valuable gem. Location: ?
***Yellow Gem - Valuable. Location: ?
***Gold coin - Valuable. Location: Treasure hunt?
***Silver Coin - Valuable. Get it for rescuing the Poliwag in Little 
Lost Poliwag, Part One
***Copper Coin - Valuable. Find it at the Treasure Hunt, Parts One 
and Two.
***Chocolate Coin - Yummy and cool. Not worth much.
***Toy Sword - Hiyah!! It's a neat sword! Find it at the Treasure Hunt, 
Part Two.
***Balloon - A prize for watching the Caterpie if you don't feed them 
all before Butterfree comes back. Also found in Abra's store.
***Pokedisk - Frissbeeeeeeeee!! Buy it in Abra's store and it'll end up 
in your front yard.
***Bottle Cap Ring - Utterly worthless.  Don't throw it on the ground, 
you'll be accused of littering.
***Spiny Shell - Weird. Pikachu doesn't really like it. When it grows on 
trees, a well placed Thunder Bolt will turn it into a roasted chestnut! 
(Chestnuts roating on an open Pikachu...) Worth about 800 Pika points.
***Feather - It floats very well!
***Marble - A gift from Pikachu. How nice! Comes in red, yellow 
and blue.
***Togepi Egg - Will it hatch? Who knows? Find it at Abra's shop.
***Lily - A flower. Collect it for your garden.
***Stink Plant - Pikachu hates the smell, but it's good when cooked.
***Bluebell - Makes Pikachu sneeze. Collect it in Springleaf Field for 
your garden.
***Daffodil - Pretty yellow flower. Pikachu, the narcissist, loves it.
Collect it in the Caring for Caterpie levels to add it to the planters 
at your house.
***Daisy - Cute white flower. Another Caring for Caterpie flower for 
your house.
Tulip - Pink flower found on the Caring for Caterpie level.
***Sunflower - Same color as Pikachu! Collect it in Springleaf Field to 
put it in a pot in your room.
***Sweet Potato - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu doesn't like it 
un-cooked. Collect during picnics to add to your garden. Use Thunder 
Bolt to make it all nice and yummy for Pikachu.
***Onion - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu doesn't like it un-cooked. 
Collect during picnics to add to your garden.
***Cabbage - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu doesn't like it 
un-cooked. Collect during picnics to add to your garden.
***Carrot - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu likes it's color, but not 
the raw taste. Collect during picnics to add to your garden.
***Corn - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu doesn't like it un-cooked. 
Collect during picnics to add to your garden. Tell Pikachu to use 
Thunder Bolt on it, and it turns into a tub of popcorn! How cute!
*Wild Herb - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu doesn't like it un-cooked.
***Radish - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu doesn't like it un-cooked. 
Collect during picnics to add to your garden.
***Jumbo Mushroom - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu doesn't like it 
un-cooked.
***Pumpkin - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu doesn't like it un-cooked. 
Collect during picnics to add to your garden.
***Truffle Top - A Bulbasaur ingredient. Pikachu doesn't like it 
un-cooked. Collect during picnics, and you'll get a row growing in 
your yard.
***Charcoal - Leftovers from a Pikachu temper tantrum. Garbage.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Questions and Answers!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    These are some questions that I had. I managed to eke out some
answers for myself. If you have questions, I probably WON'T have time to
answer them personally, but I'll try to put the answers I find in future
FAQ updates.


    1. Who made this game?

    Ambrella, Nintendo, Creatures Inc., and Game Freak. Mad props go to
them for making such a cool little game.


    2. How many Pokemon are in this game?

    Not all of them, that's for sure. I've only seen 26 myself at the
time of this writing. I know there are more, simply because I haven't
caught every possible water-type Pokemon in the fishing games.


    3. Can I capture/talk to other Pokemon besides Pikachu?

    Sadly, no. Most of the other Pokemon won't even get close to you,
much less let you capture them. You don't have any Pokeballs anyway, so
it's a moot point. All your speech bubbles go directly to Pikachu, so
there's no chance to directly speak to the other Pokemon either. Pikachu
can sometimes talk to them for you, however.


    4. Wait a minute! I heard that you could get a Togepi egg in this
game! You mean I can't keep Togepi even if I get the egg?

    Again, no. The Togepi egg hatches inside Abra's shop and the Pokemon
itself stays right there. Bummer.


    5. This *$%@#! electric rat won't do what I want it to!!! Help!

    When in doubt, make SURE you're holding down the Z button, and speak
in simpler phrases. The VRE (Voice Recognition Engine) is really good,
but it can still misunderstand words that seem perfectly clear to the
speaker. Break commands up into smaller pieces. Say 'Pikachu!' to get
the critter's attention, THEN say the command, 'Thunder shock!' Try not
to shout. It doesn't help. The more excited and frustrated people get,
the faster they tend to speak. Slow down and pronounce each word
carefully. Besides, if you shout at the game too much, other people will
think you're nuts. :)

    Also, use the hand cursor and the B button to look at the
descriptions of objects. They usually contain key phrases in red that
help you use the object in question. If that doesn't help, go back to
the simple phrases  'Yes.' 'No.' 'Take this.' 'Taste it.' 'Smell it'
'Play it.' 'Pull.' 'Over here.' Use the name of the object or Pokemon
you're trying to get Pikachu to focus its attention on. Just speaking
the name of most objects will cause Pikachu to look for it.


    6. Pikachu is showing me something, but I don't know why!

    Relax. Most of the time, Pikachu shows you things just to be
playful. It wants you to name the object, then suggest what it should do
with the thing. Use the B button to get the name of the item, then use
the direct commands like 'Throw it,' or 'Taste it.' to give Pikachu
suggestions on what to do with it.

    Sometimes Pikachu shows you things that are important to finishing
the task that's vital to the stage. The most notable example is the
Pokemon Picnic, when Pikachu will show you little drawings of the
ingredients on Bulbasaur's list. Most of those weird little pictures
aren't always helpful, but sometimes they can jog your memory. Again, B
button will help figure such things out.


    7. Hey.. what are these little floaty clouds on the Adventure maps?

    Those are areas that you haven't unlocked yet. Having problems with
a particular quest? That one might be the reason why the new areas
haven't opened up yet. If you think you've beaten everything and there's
still little clouds in your way, go back to all the adventures and look
for things that you might have missed before.


    8. AAAAAAAAAAHHH!! I woke up and Pikachu wasn't there any more!!

    Yes, it can happen. Sometimes in the later levels, if you do badly
on an adventure, Pikachu will get annoyed, run off, and won't be there
in your room the next morning, AND it'll take your Pokehelper with it!!
Little scamp. Then you'll have to play the Megaphone game to get Pikachu
to return the Pokehelper. Fortunately, you actually get the Megaphone
the first time Pikachu runs away, so from then on, you always have a way
to call Pikachu back.


    9. Oh cool.. there's a little N64 in my room here! Can I play on it?

    Absolutely! After Pikachu comes to live with you, you can play a
little quiz game on your N64. It's a Pokemon naming game, which means
that you'd better know how those names are pronounced, or you're dead
meat! There are ten questions and you have ten seconds to answer each
one. You don't get a prize if you win, just the satisfaction of making
Pikachu happy. To play the game, just tell Pikachu that it's 'Quiz
time!' and it'll turn on the game for you.

    10. How do I beat the game?

    To be honest.. I don't know. I don't know if there IS such a thing
as 'beating the game.' Hey You Pikachu is really more like a virtual pet
than any kind of contest or RPG. It's fun because you like hanging out
with Pikachu, not because you're trying for the highest score. At least,
that's what my understanding of the game is. But, since I haven't
completed all the areas of the game, I can't say for sure.  As soon as I
have, I'll let you know.


    11. Are there any cheat codes for this game?

    I'm reading the message board as I type this and I'm seeing some
people who claim they have 'codes' for Hey You Pikachu that make Pikachu
do weird things. I haven't seen a single one work yet. Most of these
guys are just yanking your chain. Don't get all worked up over someone
who says that speaking code words from other popular games will make
Pikachu bow down and worship you and stuff like that. It's just silly. I
won't believe it until I can see one work with my own two eyes.

Final Words/Review

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


    Basically, this game is for children. Don't think differently for a
moment (not that games for children are BAD things, but don't pick this
up thinking that it'll be the next Forsaken or something). If you're
under the age of 10 or so, you will probably miss the point. The point
is (for those who missed it) to watch, talk to, and be amused by
Pikachu, currently the world's most famous sparkplug rodent. If that
prospect doesn't thrill you, then don't buy this game. Don't even rent
it. It'll be frustrating and boring to you. If you're transported into
the heavenly realms by the mere thought of talking to Pikachu, you'll
probably like this game. My younger siblings love it.

    The controls are hard to master, the music is repetitive, and the
graphics are less than beautiful. Keep in mind that the original
Japanese version was released in 1998, BEFORE the Expansion Pack.
There's nothing to blow you away here other than the VRE. Even so, the
character animation and voice-overs are great, and the concept is very
popular, so don't be surprised if you see this on some young
whipper-snappers' gift lists. Still, it's a pricey little nugget with
the microphone and all, so think twice before you buy. There's always
Pokemon Puzzle League.

    -Thanks/Credit goes to Adam Einhorn (cainedna@earthlink.net) for
writing the FAQ for the Japanese game. I didn't actually copy anything
from him, but I did get some ideas about what to include in this file
from his format.

    -Thanks goes to my younger sibs who messed around with the game and
told me about the weird little things they discovered.

    -Thanks to of course. This is a great site with
more information than you could shake a 40-foot pole at. May their hit
count always be numerous and may their banner ads never go un-clicked.

    -Thanks to the people who emailed me with suggestions, tips, or
corrections (animemaster31@hotmail.com, tina@foogrrl.com,
ffeagle@alltel.net and roku17@hotmail.com). I was able to figure out
lots of this on my own, but I still appreciate the feedback!

    -Thanks to my cousin Darkstorm (raiu@geocities.com) who proof-read
this sucker for me. (He's got several Breath of Fire FAQs around
gamefaqs.com. Check them out, it's a cool name and he writes very cool
FAQs)

    -Thanks to you for reading my FAQ! I worked hard on this sucker and 
I'm glad that it's helped someone. :)

    -Thanks to Ambrella, Nintendo, Creatures Inc. and Game Freak for
giving me one more way to keep by siblings out of my hair for an
afternoon or two!! (Blessed peace. Ahhh..)

    If you're waiting for the shameless site-plug.. Here it is, I guess.

    There's nothing there but this FAQ, so don't get your hopes up too
much. :)
