'Hey You Pikachu' is a interactive game, in which you can play around with the mascot of Pokemon, Pikachu. The game comes with a microphone, which is used to talk to Pikachu. Along with the game and graphics, the new technology of Voice Reconition Unit or VRU. But despite the new technology, the game may not be able to pick up younger voices; it hurt the game since it seemed to draw the younger audience of the Pokemon World. The game begins as you, the character, helps Professer Oak try out a new technology that lets people talk to Pokemon. After the character gets the device, he befriends a Pikachu and soon uses the device. Once you have PIkachu's trust, the mousy Pokemon will come live with you, and share many adventures with you, such as fishing and treasure hunting. There are also Pikapoints that you and Pikachu can earn, and you can use tham to get items at the Abra Shop. Sadly, though... it has to end. On day 365, Proffesor Oak comes on t.v. and annouces that Pikachu is being released and is now just a wild Pokemon. You return to the forest and find Pikachu leaving and saying goodbye. Pikachu sadly leaves and the credits roll, but in the very end Pikachu comes back and the game goes on like Pikachu never left.

This game was never released outside North America or Japan, because of the reception of the microphone only being able to understand around 198 words. The many languages of the world also stopped it from being released out to the continents of Europe and Asia.

Pikachu does many things with you. He plays with other Pokemon, gardens and tons more! If you get the N64 game, make sure to get the microphone for the full affect. It won't be easy to find, but the game only will be easy to find at an old game store that has the N64 collection. Want to find out more about the Pokemon games?
