    This game might look simplistic and childish at first, but when you start to appreciate it for what it is (a kids game), you begin to see how fun it can be. The Pichu Bros.

For the kids, an outstandingly fun game. Adults, please do something better with your time. Expand

    While i may have not played enough of the game, i think it is a fun game, the reason why is because there are interesting things on TV, like the Anime, the next best channel than that for me is either the quiz show or the shopping channel, but all the programs at the very least are fine, since Ive never seen anything like this before i cant really fault it since its innovative, i wouldWhile i may have not played enough of the game, i think it is a fun game, the reason why is because there are interesting things on TV, like the Anime, the next best channel than that for me is either the quiz show or the shopping channel, but all the programs at the very least are fine, since Ive never seen anything like this before i cant really fault it since its innovative, i would like to see more like this, maybe a sequel or whatever, since there are problems, but nothing i can fault it on due to either hardware limitations, or just it being a new idea, overall id recommend this game, its fun to relax to, its nice to see whatever Pikachu does, like for me he grabbed my ditto plush and watched TV with it, i can see why some people wont like it, if the TV doesn't excite, then it may not be interesting, but for me it does, so that why i really like this game. sorry if the review is biased as this is a very nostalgic game for me.

  1. Parents will probably have to play this one along with their toddlers. When they do, they'll find a fun but flawed kid's program.
  2. It's fun for very young kids who may love the pokemon characters but be unable to cope with the complex rpg mechanics of the GBA titles.

    As limiting as it may be, the recreation of a Pokemon universe is a delightfully escapist one, but after the first week or so it'll take some serious staying power to keep coming back to your yellow friend. [Mar 2004, p.106]
