The channels may not be exciting, but in a child’s eyes, they will be quite entrancing.

Older Pokémon fans will become bored right away, but younger ones will have a blast.

Hours of fun for Pokemon fans. [Feb 2004, p.150]

All in all, it may only be one for the fanatics but there is a lot of fun to be had with Channel. Some of the better parts had us in stitches and while the game itself may be fairly linear and restricted, it makes up for it in terms of sheer amusement. [JPN Import]

It's fairly short, the graphics aren't too flashy, but it has an irresistible charm. And it comes with a full length cartoon. You'll keep coming back to see what the next bizarre channel will be.

Sure, there should've been more channels and things to interact with, but the pet Pikachu, Pichu Bros. episode, Pokemon minis and the near infinite amount of pictures to color make this a mandatory purchase.

You became a slave to theTV and a slave to Pikachu. Pokemon fans will be glued to their seats. Everyone else will be turned of, pun intended. [Jan 2004, p.141]

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.

It's not really so much a game as just a bunch of things to do which can be refreshing in some cases. If you're thinking you may be too old for this game, you probably are.

A nice distraction with lengthy play value for dedicated fans of the series as long as they can deal with the slow pace and limited interactivity. However, anyone looking for a good virtual pet simulator should look elsewhere.
