| You control Pikachu
with a Nintendo 64 microphone, vocally giving him simple
instructions and telling him where to go in the microcosm he
inhabits. In addition to playing with a variety of items,
Pikachu can interact with several other Pokémon that inhabit
the area and befriend him. The accessory that comes with
Pikachu Genki Dechu is a set that makes up the voice
recognition system. This accessory consists of an ear phone
with an attached microphone that connects to a voice
recognition device. This is the thing that plugs into one of
the N64's controller slots. Once you start up your N64 with
the Pikachu cart, you will see a beautiful and colorful
polygonal forest accompanied by the usual happy music.
Using the little joystick on
your N64 controller, you'll eventually find Pikachu sleeping
on a trunk. Now, all you have to do is use the microphone and
call out Pikachu's name. He'll suddenly wake up and be
surprised to find you. Since Pikachu is a shy, wild creature,
you'll have to work pretty hard to gain Pikachu's trust. Of
course, the graphics in this game are beautiful. Pikachu and
his surroundings would be fully polygonal. Take good care of
Pikachu and he'll probably give you some rewards. He'll
display all kinds of moods including anger and happiness. If
you leave him alone, he'll probably go wander off and explore
the forest. The new voice recognition system is pretty cool
and can do quite a bit of stuff. If you were to tease Pikachu,
he'll probably get mad at you and you'll have to gain his
trust again. If you were to say something nice about Pikachu,
he'd probably play with you or do some tricks. In the game,
there would be, of course, some mini games and puzzle for you
and Pikachu to do. Like a virtual pet, you'll have to keep
Pikachu happy and entertained by feeding him, or playing with
him.
