Pokémon Pikachu is a series of mini Game Boy-like devices that have features such as virtual pets, pedometers, and, in the later models, an alarm, presents, a slot machine, and a high card/low card game.
It was most notably recognized for its award, "Most Popular Fitness Toy (of its time)" by the Guinness Book of World Records. Its original release was simply Pokémon Pikachu. Later, Pokémon Pikachu 2 could be purchased.
The unit is strapped onto a belt and used as a pedometer. Each step the the unit registers give the user "watts" which are a currency which can be used to gamble or buy Pikachu presents. As Pikachu's Happiness goes up (similar to the system in Pokémon Yellow) more activities are available. If neglected, however, the Pikachu will become angry and not respond to anything the user does. The Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS unit also has an infrared port that was capable of communicating with the second and third generation traditional Pokémon games via the game's Mystery Gift option, which was utilized using both the infrared port on the Pokémon Pikachu and the infrared port on the Game Boy Color/Advance. This was to be able to trade the Pikachu's watts for items in the game. Though there is a limit to how much the Mystery Gift option can be used on the traditional game cartridges, the game's only limit to transfer in the number of watts of the unit. Watts can also be sent as a gift to other Pokémon Pikachu Units.
