• The Japanese name of the game, ピカチュウげんきでちゅう Pikachu Genki de Chu, is a pun on ピカチュウげんきです Pikachu is fine.
• Althrough the game has not gained any direct sequels, Pokémon Channel seems to be a sequel, since it is a virtual pet simulation game in which the player shall raise a Pikachu. Pokémon Dash may also be a indirect sequel, as the Pikachu there is similiar to that one i Channel, even sometimes start to laughing when petting it, become dizzy and other. It is unknown if it's the same Pikachu.
