The Pokémon Pikachu (Japanese: ポケットピカチュウ Pocket Pikachu) is a step counter and virtual pet toy in which the player looks after a virtual pet Pikachu.

It was succeeded by the Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS.

Operation

The unit is strapped onto a belt and used as a pedometer. Every 20 steps the unit registers give the user 1 watt, which is a currency that can be used to gamble or buy Pikachu presents. As Pikachu's friendship goes up (similar to the system in Pokémon Yellow), more activities are available. If neglected, however, Pikachu will become angry and will not respond to anything the user does. Pikachu will also do activities based on time. When turning on the device soon before 8 p.m., Pikachu may be taking a shower, brushing its teeth, or getting into bed. Pikachu will also eat occasionally. Shaking the device during eating or sleeping will make Pikachu angry, and its friendship will drop.

Features

It has various functions as a pedometer, present-giver, and a slot machine where Watts can be gambled.

Device

The device has a yellow case.

Trivia

  • The Pokémon Pikachu also appears as an item in Animal Crossing, though it is only a quest item, and the player cannot interact with it.
  • The Pokémon Pikachu is a treasure in Wario Land 3.
