Part virtual pet sim, part activity tool for younger players, Pokemon Channel lets players befriend popular Pokemon Pikachu. In Pokemon Channel, the Pokemon television station has lost segments of its most popular show. Players must find and collect the clips and return them to the station. To aid them in their quest, players call upon the help of Pikachu. Once all the pieces are collected, the show will be restored and ready for broadcast. Everyone can enjoy watching TV with Pikachu and find other ways to play with Pikachu. They can communicate with Pikachu by providing advice, or take Pikachu to a grassy field or forest and get to know other Pokemon.
