About Pokemon Channel
Pokemon Channel is a game where you help Professor Oak with a new Pokemon television channel that he is putting together. You spend your time watching television, playing interactive quizzes, shopping for items, and exploring the world outside. You also get your very own Pikachu to interact with, which tends to be quite interesting.
Pokemon Channel is one of the few games that takes advantage of the Nintendo e-Reader and various e-Reader cards.

- So sit back with Pikachu and enjoy our programming. Oh, and please don't forget to check back in and report to me so I know what you think!
