4.0 out of 5 stars Cool . . . almost radical, but not quite., November 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nintendo Pokemon Pikachu Virtual Pet (Video Game)

The pokemon Pikachu virtual pet is a cute idea and a fun piece of popular culture but the designers didn't really take it to fruition. I appreciated the idea of a toy that interacts with the user based on physical movement but the level of interaction is lacking and Pikachu's growth was not especially fun to watch. The ending was particularly disappointing. Once he reaches 1 million steps, he ceases to function and you must reset him. No fanfare, no fireworks, just some pixelated text. All in all, the pokemon pikachu virtual pet represents an exciting new horizon in interactive children's toys and a fun pop-culture item but the technology and design just aren't quite there yet.

This review is from: Nintendo Pokemon Pikachu Virtual Pet (Video Game)

This virtual pet is sooo much fun. I bought mine about a year ago and though it was kind of expensive... it was really worth it. You don't have the constant hassle of feeding it. All you have to do is wear it on your belt and walk around. For every 5 steps you take you get 1 watt. You give these watts to Pikachu to make him happy.And it is really durable. I had mine for a long time then forgot about it and I just recently turned it on and it still works. You get to see Pikachu do all these cute things like playing in the sand, eating, sleeping, taking bubble baths ect. The best thing about this virtual pet is that after a while it grows up and starts doing new stuff like going to school. I think that this pet was worth the money and is really easy to take care of.

4.0 out of 5 stars This toy is NOT a tamogatchi!, November 18, 1999

This toy is not very fun. All you do is walk pikachu for watts (Poke treats), Gamble for watts, and give pikachu watts. This toy is NOT reccomended. The only good thing about it is the fun little things pikachu dose for you (Eats a lolliepop for instence)
