- ===============================================================================
- INTRODUCTION - Why a guide for Pokemon Channel? Well, why not. It's a nice
- mellow little game which has helped me through some very stressful nights
- recently and I am sure there will be someone out there who'll find it useful,
- even if its just the fastest way of being able to get to upload rare pokemon
- Jirachi. This guide contains a walkthrough for the main part of the game, and
- a comprehensive list of all the Nice Card locations and the locations of all
- the pokemon you can acquire them from. I have tried to double check when each
- pokemon is out and about, you'll definitely find the pokemon at the times
- listed, but some may appear at other times as well. I have tried to note this,
- but as always, submissions and corrections are very welcome. Enjoy!
- *******************************************************************************
- REVISIONS - Version One (10/05/2004). Full guide written up with all the Nice
- card Locations and Shop N' Squirtle items listed. I am skipping through all
- the months of the year to see if any more fun things happen, and there maybe
- some random Box items I haven't discovered yet.
- ===============================================================================
- ****************************** 2) WALKTHROUGH *********************************
- ===============================================================================
- Before you begin the game it is worth noting that it will use your Game Cube
- internal clock to mark time in the game itself. Once you have watched your
- allotted programmes, new ones will not be broadcast until after 0500 the next
- morning. To quickly move onto the next day, you should save and exit the game
- turn it off and then move the clock forward before reloading the game. Your
- save files will not be affected by this even if you set the clock to a time
- before you last saved. You can also do this to move to certain times of the
- day to acquire all the various nice cards. So although the main body of the
- game takes place across six "days" you can speed through using the clock trick.
- Depending on how friendly you are towards Pikachu, certain events might take
- place earlier or later than listed, but only by a day either way, this guide
- was written assuming you will be very friendly towards Pikachu. Onwards!
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DAY ONE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Your first day as a test audience for Pokemon Channel dawns. A team of
- Magnemite will arrive with your first TV and Professor Oak will brief you.
- Your first task is to enter your name and watch Part One of the Anime "Pichu
- Bros in Party Panic". Once you have watched that you will file a report, using
- the report Channel, this is where you will always go to save your game and quit
- if you want to. Professor Oak will also give you 20P, this is special pokemon
- money you can spend via the Shopping Channel. Before you carry on watching, a
- wild Pikachu will arrive with Torchic, Mudkip and Treecko. The others are too
- shy to come in but Pikachu will enter your room. You can call it using the A
- button and you can pet it using the yellow c-stick. At first it will become
- easily alarmed, but it will soon become used to you. Professor Oak will see
- this is a great opportunity to check out how much the new channels will appeal
- to Pokemon.
- Your next task is to watch all the new channels. You can move through the list
- of channels using the buttons on the TV or the back R and L triggers. Each
- channel will have NEW over the top. To fully watch each channel you must watch
- one broadcast from start to finish, that is from the opening titles to the
- channel ident that appears between shows. If you change channels during a
- broadcast, the NEW will not disappear and Professor Oak won't accept your
- report until you have watched them all. If you also try and turn the TV off
- too soon Pikachu will become angry and will not leave the room until you are
- done watching. This applies to every day there are new channels to watch.
- ------------------------
- PNF (Pokemon News Flash
- ------------------------
- This news channel is presented by Psyduck, with reports from roving reporter
- Meowth. Meowth's on-the-scene reports will show you which areas certain
- pokemon will be found in. Also after some time, there will be special "can you
- meet this Pokemon" reports which tell you where certain rare pokemon can be
- met. They won't appear until you have seen the report. Meowth will also draw
- your attention to any crates that appear in the various areas which you can
- then break open for interesting items. Sometimes Psyduck will fall asleep
- during a broadcast, when Pikachu gets more relaxed in your company it will get
- vexed and yell "pika! pika!!!" to try and wake Psyduck up!
- ------------------------
- SHOP N'SQUIRTLE
- ------------------------
- Here you can spend your pokemon money on various goodies, presented to you by
- arch capitalist "Spencer" the Squirtle. You'll want to purchase the Nice Card
- binder first of all, as the Bus Passes may not turn up for sale if you don't
- get the binder first. Later on you can buy a Pass to Viridian Forest, then to
- Colbalt Cove the next day and to Mt. Snowfall the day after. You can also buy
- games for the Pokemon Mini, posters, Nice Cards, plush dolls, pokepads and
- wallpaper. Mini games, Binders and Passes will arrive straight away,
- everything else will arrive the next day.
- As Pikachu gets more relaxed with you it will get more enthusiastic about items
- it wants to get. But be careful, if it really likes an item it may lunge at
- the TV screen and order it. So quickly click "Don't Buy" if you don't want it.
- I ended up with three Clefairy dolls because Pikachu was faster than me. doh!
- ------------------------
- SMOOCHUM SHAPE UP
- ------------------------
- Spending to much time in front of the TV? Well work that flab with Smoochum's
- exercise programme, for humans and pokemon alike. Smoochum takes you through a
- variety of basic aerobic exercises. Pikachu will try and copy Smoochum, at
- first it will get tired quickly, but after a few days, Pikachu will be working
- out like a demon.
- ------------------------
- QUIZ WOBBUFFET
- ------------------------
- Time to test your pokemon knowledge and earn yourself more poke-cash to spend.
- Wobbuffet hosts a quiz with three competing pokemon. Whowever answers the most
- right and reaches the bottom first wins. Wobbuffet asks three questions in the
- first half, then there is a "Present Quiz" that you can do. The questions are
- either identify a pokemon from it's silhouette, its cry or a glimpse through a
- crack. The quicker you answer correctly, the more poke-cash you get, either
- 200, 100 or 50. After the break Wobbuffet asks up to three more questions then
- another "Present Quiz", so you can win up to 400P in one viewing session.
- Pikachu will root for certain pokemon over others (usually Pichu or Togepi or
- any starter Pokemon) and will suggest answers and be pleased or disappointed
- depending on if it guesses correctly.
- ------------------------
- SMEARGLE 2
- ------------------------
- After you have watched all the channels and none of them have NEW over them,
- make a report on the Report Channel. You'll get 50P and then the Smeargle 2
- Paint system will be delivered. You have to test it out so as it only works
- with Pichu Bros at the moment, tune into that channel and activate the Paint
- system when a screen you like comes up. Spend as much or as little time as you
- wish colouring it in. Once you have done and saved it and displayed it on the
- wall, file another report with Professor Oak. Another good way of earning
- poke-cash is auctioning off old paintings, as you can only display one picture
- at a time you have the choice of auctioning the old one. If you do Oak will
- give you the money the next day. You seem to get more money for pictures using
- lots of different colours and that have lots of pokemon in them.
- ------------------------
- SPRINGLEAF FIELD
- ------------------------
- Once you have tested and filed a report on the Smeargle Paint system, you can
- now turn off the TV and explore without Pikachu getting angry. However on this
- first day, Pikachu will accidentally blow up your TV! Oak will deliver you an
- emergency Retro TV which only shows in Black and White. So now is a good time
- to look around the area.
- First of all check out the bedroom. You don't have much now, but later on you
- will be able to fill the shelves with pokemon dolls for Pikachu to play with.
- For now get Pikachu to look under the bed. It will find a box, let it look
- inside and you'll find the pokemon mini case. Now you can order all the
- pokemon mini games from Shop n'Squirtle. There are two ways out. The front
- door leads to the street and depending on the time of day there will be two
- pokemon out there you can talk to for Nice Cards. Once you have the relevant
- Buss Passes you can catch Buses from here as well.
- If you go out through sliding door into the Yard you'll find two more Pokemon
- to talk to. You can do other things to. You can get Pikachu to pull up weeds,
- eat the fruit and look in the box. Usually there is a banana in the box, but
- sometimes a fun item shows up. If Pikachu eats the banana he'll toss the skin.
- Send it over to the skin to watch it slip (heh heh). If you go to the far left
- you can go and plant two seeds. Water then for a couple of days and they will
- grow a berry. Once a berry has sprouted, Pikachu will share them with another
- pokemon. The next day the plants will die and after that you can plant two more
- and carry on the cycle.
- Once you are done in the yard. Go out into the field, usually there are just
- two pokemon here, but sometimes there are three. Chat to them to get their
- cards, then search the hole. Pikachu will find a ball and ask to play catch,
- if you want Pikachu to become your friend quickly choose to play with it. Try
- and catch the ball by clicking on it before it lands, and hold it up high when
- you throw it. The game ends when you throw it too far away. The only other
- thing to do here is to search the clover patch. As Pikachu grows fonder of
- you, it is more likely to find and give you a four leaf clover as a gift.
- As you cannot change the weather yet, you won't see a great variety of pokemon
- just yet. Once you are done, choose to save via the report channel and quit
- the game. The next lot of channels won't be broadcast until after five AM the
- next morning so either wait or (most likely) set your Game Cube clock forward
- and begin Day Two...
- (There is a possibility that a Buss Pass may show up on Shop N' Squirtle on Day
- One, it didn't for me but I heard it happened for others. They seem to come in
- a random order, so I have listed the areas you can visit on consecutive days in
- order the Buses show up)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DAY TWO
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Day Two starts with Pikachu most likely arriving at the window, soon afterwards
- your TV will show up all nice and repaired. You can now order new TVs from
- Shop n' Squirtle and change them using the Pokepad TV section. Your pokepad
- also records details of the various TV programmes and all the things you and
- Pikachu get up to. You can order different pads from Shop n' Squirtle but the
- contents won't change. There are three new channels to check out and if you
- auctioned a picture Oak will give you any poke-cash it earned. Also Delibird
- will show up with any orders you made the previous day from Shop n' Squirtle.
- If you ordered lots of Nice Cards and end up with over 25 different ones, Oak
- will give you a new binder that holds fifty and several rare Platinum cards.
- Once all that is done settle down to watch TV. First off watch the second part
- of the Pichu Bros cartoon, once that's done with check out the better stuff.
- ------------------------
- SMEARGLES ART STUDY
- ------------------------
- Lawks it's the scary beret wearing pokemon from Pokemon G/S. Whatever picture
- you have created and have hanging upon your bedroom wall will also be displayed
- in his Art Gallery. Smeargle will pass judgement upon your daubings in his own
- inimitable style. Every time you paint a new picture it will show up to be
- graded by Smeargle. Pikachu gets very excited when it sees your artwork and
- will sometimes ask you to paint a new one. Go on, keep the fella happy.
- ------------------------
- SLOWPOKES WEATHER REPORT
- ------------------------
- If you are interested in collecting all the Nice Cards, this is the channel
- you'll be watching a lot of. There are three weather types, clear, cloudy and
- rainy/snowy. Each type of weather brings out different pokemon. But Slowpoke
- doesn't just forecast the weather, he changes it. So say it's clear in
- Springleaf field. If Slowpoke is in Springleaf field and selects Rainy, the
- weather outside will change to rain and the pokemon will change to. However,
- he takes AGES to make up his mind and will fall asleep several times while
- selecting what the weather will be like. This may annoy you, but it sends
- Pikachu into a frenzy of annoyance! Actually watching Pikachu get mad at
- Slowpoke helps pass the time, heh heh.
- The weather covers each area thusly:
- Springleaf field - Yard, Street and Springleaf field
- Viridian Forest - Viridian Forest and Camp Starlight
- Mt. Snowfall - Mt, Snowfall and The Ruins of Truth
- Cobalt Cove - Colbalt Cove and the Secret Cove
- ------------------------
- VIRIDIAN FOREST
- ------------------------
- Once you acquire the Bus Pass you should go out onto the street and catch the
- Bus to the Forest. In this small wooded area you can meet more new Pokemon.
- You may start encountering the Magnemite Camera Operator out doing reports. If
- you click on it, Pikachu and the other Pokemon will pose for it. Next time you
- choose to watch PNF Pikachu will see itself on TV! The forest has a Bell
- towards the back. Click on it to have Pikachu take part in a short concert with
- a group of Togepi's or Cleffa's. There are also mushrooms in the forest which
- Pikachu may pick and eat or try and roast with it's Thundershock. Off to the
- left is another area called Camp Starlight.
- ------------------------
- CAMP STARLIGHT
- ------------------------
- This area is only open at night, between 1900 and 0500. Here you will always
- find Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip. You will also find one other different
- Pokemon each day of the week. The pokemon appear as follows:
- Monday: Teddiursa
- Tuesday: Magby
- Wednesday: Wooper
- Thursday: Snorlax
- Friday: Azumarril
- Saturday: Pichu
- Sunday: Jirachi (after PNF report and/or the end of the game)
- If the weather is clear you can look up at the sky and pick out Pokemon
- constellations. Also once you have found all the parts of the Pichu Bros
- cartoon you can watch the whole thing projected across the sky here.
- Once you are all done for the day, quit and either wait or jump forwards to Day
- Three.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DAY THREE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Have you been nice to Pikachu? Well if you have then most likely from today
- onwards Pikachu will stay overnight with you, ahhh. At some point today you'll
- probably get the opportunity to name it. Don't call it something like Toilet,
- you'll regret it later on. Anyway, once you have collected your Shop N'Squirtle
- items and listened to Oak it's time to watch Part 3 of Pichu Bros and then
- enjoy another two new channels.
- ------------------------
- FORTUNE CHANNEL
- ------------------------
- It's that big lovable pink lucky Chansey, and she's got a channel that
- dispenses wise sayings at the click of a button. Simply click on one of the
- cookies floating around her and be rewarded with something as stunning
- insightful as "Good luck is an eel in the pond of fools" or "To tell the truth
- is dangerous, to listen to it is annoying." Actually you don't get anything as
- useful as that, and you only get one fortune a day as well. Boo.
- ------------------------
- EGGZAMINATION
- ------------------------
- The awesome Egg Channel is the very last word in edge-of-your-seat programming.
- You are presented with an egg and how long until it hatches. You choose from
- one of four options on what pokemon will hatch out. Then sit back, crack open
- some beer and you and Pikachu can get totally smashed while you place ever
- higher bets on who it will be. OK, that's a bit of a lie, but you can earn
- quite a lot of poke-cash betting on the eggs. The longer you have to wait the
- more cash you get when the eggs hatches. However its harder to guess who it
- will be. As a rule of thumb the quicker the egg is going hatch, the more
- common the pokemon. Interesting pokedex facts also scroll across the top of
- the screen as you view. Luckily for you the first egg will hatch fairly
- quickly. After you have watched the first time, you don't have to be watching
- when the egg hatches, if you tune in after the egg you bet on hatches you'll be
- told what it was and receive any winnings you earned.
- ------------------------
- SNOWFALL MOUNTAIN
- ------------------------
- After you have watched all the new stuff and filed your report, tune into Shop
- N'Squirtle and pick up the next Bus Pass, which most likely will be for
- Snowfall Mountain. At the moment there is only one area to explore here, on
- day 5 you'll be able to reach the Ruins of Truth from here. For now you can
- chat to the new pokemon and collect new Nice Cards, you can have Pikachu search
- the igloo and stumps where he may find an item or some poke-cash, you can also
- click on the snow balls to have Pikachu create a little "snow pikachu" and
- finally you can see Jigglypuff and Kecleon duet together. Luckily Kecleon has
- the ability to stop Jigglypuff sending everyone to sleep!
- Spend the rest of the day puttering about changing the weather to meet
- different pokemon, earning cash and keeping Spencer in business. When you are
- done, quit and jump forwards to Day 4.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DAY FOUR
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Pikachu should have settled in very well now and you'll start to find other
- Pokemon round visiting when you turn the game on or come back to your room
- after an outing. Pikachu will start giving your dolls away as gifts with your
- permission to, if you let it, it will be very happy. As per usual, listen to
- Oak and collect any merchandise from Delibird. Then watch Pichu Bros part 4
- before checking out three more new channels. Also today you get your Smeargle
- 2 upgraded to work with all channels not just The Pichu Bros cartoon.
- ------------------------
- MAREEP FARM
- ------------------------
- In what could be a stunningly ironic comment on the nature of modern
- television, or just evidence of the programmers incipient lunacy, here is a
- Relaxation Channel where you can count Mareep as they leap over a fence.
- Actually you know it is kind of.. kind of.. hypnotic... zzzzzz.
- Er.. uh.. anyways, first time you tune in you only have to watch for a count of
- about 25 before the programme ends. After that, it can go as high as 1500.
- ------------------------
- ODD ONE OUT
- ------------------------
- A double or nothing betting channel opens up for your entertainment, here you
- have to guess if an odd or even number of pokemon will appear. The bet starts
- at fifty and quickly depletes, so the quicker you bet the more you can get. If
- you guess correctly, you have the option to take the cash and end the game, or
- double the bet on the next lot of pokemon. But you lose it all if you are
- wrong. You can keep going until you either decide to quit with your winnings
- or you lose it all. The first lot of pokemon are Oddish, then Togepi's and
- Wynaut's will line up. This is a fairly unreliable way of winning cash, but
- quite cool when you get a good run and have to decide whether to push your luck
- further.
- ------------------------
- CHUM CHUM RANKING
- ------------------------
- Shape Up Smoochum's twin sister hosts the ranking channel. First you'll see
- the top five pokemon, though I have no idea how they are chosen (sometimes this
- changes to a poll of things like how many mins you have watched each channel).
- Then there is a demented poll where pokemon are asked to choose what they like
- best between two things, Poison or Ice type pokemon, peach or trumpet, bra or
- pond, that kind of thing. Finally Smoochum presents your "secrets" which are
- stats of things like how often you go to certain areas, how many cards you
- have, how many minutes of TV you have watched and other things.
- ------------------------
- COLBALT COVE
- ------------------------
- Once you have filed a report with Oak on the new channels, check out Shop
- N'Squirtle to get the final Bus Pass to Cobalt Cove. Here you will find more
- pokemon to talk to, you can play Tic-Tac-Toe with Pikachu during the day and
- Pikachu will try to swim out to the Faraway Island. He won't be able to make
- it over there before swimming back, it doesn't seem reachable as of yet. The
- other things to do at Cobalt Cove is fishing in the Secret Cove.
- ------------------------
- SECRET COVE
- ------------------------
- Here Pikachu will fish for various pokemon that can only be found here. You
- can toss food in the water but this doesn't seem to affect what Pikachu
- catches. If you stay long enough you'll be able to catch everything at all
- times and all weathers, but some are VERY rare so make sure you haven't drifted
- off and don't click on them in time to answer their Quiz. The pokemon are as
- follows (the rarity rating is just rough guide):
- Magikarp - common
- Remoraid - common
- Staryu - common
- Goldeen - common
- Horsea - common
- Starmie - average
- Lanturn - average
- Octillery - average
- Marrill - average/rare
- Krabby - rare
- Shellder - rare
- Wailmer - rare
- Poliwag - rare
- Cloyster - really frickin' rare >:(
- When you are ready to stop, just press B to quit, a score-sheet will pop up
- telling you what you caught and then you'll be back on Cobalt Cove. If the
- Pokemon you are after just hasn't turned up, quit back to the Beach then
- straight go back in again. If the first few pokemon you catch are different
- from what was mostly showing up before then you may have a better chance of
- getting the one you want. Keep quitting out after every ten pokemon or so and
- it should "cycle" round to the rarer ones sooner rather than later.
- Spend some time if you wish travelling about getting new cards and watch TV,
- then quit the game and jump forward to the penultimate day.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DAY FIVE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Day 5 begins with a news flash from PNF. Blaziken has entrusted the delivery
- of the final part of the Pichu Bros Cartoon to a Magnemite. But the silly
- thing drops it on the way to the studio. Professor Oak calls on you and
- Pikachu to find out where it's gone.
- Your first task is to go out into Springleaf field. Whatever the time, you
- will find Duskull hovering about. As this is unusual, have Pikachu go and talk
- to it. You'll find out it wants to play with the Ball, so have Pikachu
- retrieve it from the hole. Simply click on the ball for Pikachu to hand it
- over to Duskull. In return the lovable skull-faced ghost will give you the
- Duskull Lamp.
- ------------------------
- RUINS OF TRUTH
- ------------------------
- Now its time to travel to Snowfall Mountain. Once up there if you check to the
- far right you'll see a signpost pointing to a new area - The Ruins of Truth.
- So that's the next stop. However you'll see a big Gengar blocking the
- entrance, if you go to talk to him, Pikachu will automatically use the Duskull
- Lamp to give it a fright and it will run off. Now you can enter the Ruins.
- Inside is very dark apart from two flowers. Click on them to have Pikachu use
- Thundershock on them, this lights up the Ruins and when both are lit up a
- signpost will rise up letting you move to the back of the ruins. Here you'll
- see a plinth, click on it and answer the totally random trivia question that it
- asks you. If you get the question wrong just leave and re-enter to have
- another go. Once you have answered correctly, a Golbat statue will rise up.
- Have Pikachu search the statue (wiggle the stick to get his lardy arse out) and
- he'll pop out with Pichu Bros part 5! You can now leave (return and answer
- another question to get Golbats Nice Card) the Ruins and Magnemite will show up
- to collect it.
- Now all that's left to do is to return home and watch the final part of the
- Anime. Once that's done file your report with Professor Oak, he'll tell you as
- a thank you he's arranging something nice for you and Pikachu for tomorrow. So
- when you are ready to do so, save and jump to Day 6.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DAY SIX
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- As promised when you load the game up on Day you get a nice treat. No matter
- what the actual time is, it will be night in the game, and a very special
- pokemon will show up at your back door. Yep, even Oak can't believe his eyes,
- the super-rare steel/psychic Jirachi has arrived and invites you to join it at
- Camp Starlight for a special screening of "Pichu Bros in Party Panic". You and
- Pikachu will automatically go to the campsite and the Anime will be screened
- from start to end projected across the night sky.
- This is the "end" of the game, as the Anime plays you'll get the full game
- credits as well, and at the finish it will say "The End" and you'll be back at
- the game menu screen. However (in the PAL versions only) you can now access a
- new option, "Jirachi" in the front Options menu, here you can upload Jirachi
- into your copy of Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire if you meet the right conditions (see
- the Jirachi FAQ at the end of this document for full details).
- If you load up the game you can carry on playing for as long as you like, there
- are a couple more extras, most notably Togepi will show up with the "Hosted by
- Kasumi" disc which is the Pichu Bros cartoon in Japanese (Kasumi is the
- Japanese version of Misty). You can also find different language versions to
- fill the final "fuzzy channel" (this may change depending on which language you
- are playing it in - I was playing in English and found a full length Spanish
- version) by breaking open the mystery crates.
- Once you have seen the end credits, that's the game finished, but you can play
- as long as you like simply hanging with Pikachu, watching TV and collecting
- cards. Some fun things to look out for are covered in the section below.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you are playing the UK/European version, you can watch Pichu Bros in various
- languages before you find the "official" tapes. Simply go to the language
- option screen and you can choose English, Spanish, Italian, German and French.
- Obviously this also changes the default language of the whole game, but the
- interface is simple enough that you shouldn't have problems changing back.
- It's worth doing, it's a lot of fun seeing Meowth talk German or listening to
- the Pichu Bros song in French!
- Once you have answered a Pokemon Quiz question and got the card, you can still
- talk to the pokemon, answering the quiz correctly again will net you 10P each
- time.
- If your Pikachu is a nightmare for changing channels, purchase the Snorlax
- doll. Looking at this makes Pikachu fall asleep leaving you free to channel
- surf!
- On a clear night you can look up at the stars and see various Pokemon
- Constellations, but these change throughout the year, so you can see different
- ones in winter than in spring.
- The PNF is actually packed with lots of fun Pokemon "in-jokes", watching it at
- length provides some genuinely amusing moments for the poke-maniac.
- Various items can be found in the wooden crates that appear every day or so.
- Some like the harmonica and trumpet are just for Pikachu to mess about with for
- your entertainment. Other items have a more drastic effect. The Wobuffet
- Spray is one of the more surreal ones. If Pikachu uses this, it shrinks to a
- teeny tiny size and its voice gets super squeaky. It's only temporary, but if
- you get this to happen at Cobalt Cove, go fishing. The sight of teeny Pikachu
- hauling in a Wailmer is quite giggle inducing.
- ===============================================================================
- ******************************* 3) GENERAL FAQ ********************************
- ===============================================================================
- Q: I went to so-and-so location, and such-and-such pokemon wasn't there? You
- lie!
- A: Sometimes it's not obvious if it's cloudy or clear, recheck the list. And
- if you're looking for Lapras, Celebi, Blaziken, Latios, Latias or Jirachi..
- well did you see the report on PNF? No? Well that explains it then.
- Q: What else is different about the PAL version of this game and can I play the
- PAL version on a USA GameCube?
- A: As far as I am aware, the only difference is Jirachi is available as an
- uploadable character, and that there are several different European language
- versions available of the Pichu cartoon. You may be able to get the PAL
- version to play on a US cube, but you'd need a PAL compatible TV, and also its
- unlikely that the US version of the Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire game carts would then
- register a Jirachi from a PAL disc. So.. probably not worth your cash really.
- Q: Who are the Pichu Bros anyway?
- A: Call yourself a Pokemon fan? Well if you saw the third Pokemon film that
- came out a couple of years ago (Pokemon 3: Spell of the Unown), you may have
- seen the short film before it that showed Pikachu meeting the Pichu Bros and
- the rest of the gang and playing around the adventure playground.
- Q: Can you see Mew?
- A: Although Mew is mentioned on PNF, she never puts in an appearance as far as
- I have found. But if anyone can prove otherwise I am all ears.
- Q: Pikachu keeps changing channels, how can I stop him?
- A: Pikachu develops favourite channels. Mine got obsessed with the egg channel
- for a while then Odd One Out. Best let it watch for a few mins, otherwise it
- will keep changing back. Of course if you want to watch TV in peace, buy the
- Snorlax Doll. Make Pikachu look at it until it keels over asleep, now you can
- watch in peace. mwahahah!
- Q: I found a harmonica/pokemon cream/some other thing in a crate? Why? What?
- A: The crate items seem to be just something for Pikachu play with there and
- then to help you build your friendship. You can't take them back home with
- you.
- Q: Can you reach the Faraway Island?
- A: I am not sure. I forced Pikachu to exercise its lardy butt every day for a
- couple of weeks and talked to all the pokemon on the beach and went every time
- of day in all weathers. Pikachu still "almost drowns" when he tries to swim
- out there. If anyone has managed to get over there, I would love to hear how!
- Q: What do you get if you collect all 330 Nice Cards?
- A: You get a lovely warm feeling inside.
- Q: I only got this game to get Jirachi, it sucks...
- A: I don't think it sucks, I actually enjoyed it a lot. It shows that some
- care as gone into constructing this whole other "pokemon" world and I liked the
- insights into pokemon life done with quite a bit of wit and good humour. Ever
- see that early episode of the Anime when all the pokemon get stranded on the
- Island and we get to see them talk via subtitles. Seeing Bulbasaur as the
- inveterate cynic, chafing against the "homeboy" Squirtle and the naive
- Charmander tickled me and I would liked to have seen more of that sort of
- thing. Well anyways, that's why I enjoyed the game so much...
- ===============================================================================
- ************************** 4) NICE CARD LOCATIONS *****************************
- ===============================================================================
- There are 101 Nice cards to collect, although there are three variations of
- each one. The Single Card is a plain card with a picture of the Pokemon on it.
- The Motion card has a moving picture on it. Both types can be found the Nice
- Card packets. The final type is Platinum, which has a moving picture and the
- Pokemon's cry. These are acquired by either answering correctly the Quizzes
- from Wild Pokemon (apart from Golbat and Kecleon) or from Professor Oak, when
- you fill up the first two Binders.
- To get the Kecleon Card you only need to talk to Kecleon and choose to send it
- Fan Mail. To get the Golbat card you must revisit the Ruins of Truth after
- getting the final part of the Anime. Answer the random question and search the
- Golbat statue to get its card.
- Certain Pokemon will only appear after you have seen them mentioned on PNF.
- These are Lapras, Celebi, Blaziken, Latios, Latias and Jirachi. Once they have
- been mentioned, they will always appear at the specified time and place.
- The times of day are roughly as follows:
- 0500 - 0900 Morning
- 0900 - 1600 Day
- 1600 - 1900 Evening
- 1900 - 0500 Night
- The weather can be changed by watching Slowpokes weather channel. During the
- evening and night it can be tricky to tell if its cloudy or clear so recheck
- the weather if a pokemon hasn't appeared. If you are out in an area when the
- times changeover you won't actually see a change until you leave and then
- revisit. So for example if you are in Springleaf Field at 0856 and stay until
- 0904, you'll still see the morning pokemon. If you then leave and enter the
- Yard then re-enter the field, the pokemon will have changed to the Day ones.
- The Pokemon you fish for at the Secret Cove are unaffected by weather, time of
- day or even the food you fling for them. Keep fishing and you'll get them all,
- but some, such as Wailmer, Cloyster, Marril and Shellder are rarer than the
- rest.
- If it is raining at Camp Starlight there will be no pokemon there.
- Once you have all 101 types, Pikachu will present you with nine special Pikachu
- cards (27 in total actually as you get the Platinum, Motion and Single in one
- go). You do not require 101 Platinum cards, just 101 different cards.

- POKEMON MINI GAMES GUIDE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Once you get the Pokemon Mini case from under the bed you can buy new games for
- it from Spencer. They are quite good fun, anyone who had a Dreamcast and played
- downloadable games on their VMU's will get a rush of nostalgia here =)
- -------------------------
- CHANSEY'S DRIBBLE
- -------------------------
- No Chansey hasn't gone senile, she's just taken up football. Using the control
- stick you have to try and steer Chansey behind the football, if you
- accidentally get ahead of the ball you lose a lot of time back tracking, so the
- aim is to steer steadily and reach the goal in the fastest time.
- -------------------------
- PIKACHU'S ROCKET START
- -------------------------
- It's a test of your lightning reflexes this time, Pikachu is racing other
- pokemon and you must hammer the A button as soon as you feel a rumble in your
- controller. If you start pressing too soon it's a false start and you lose. A
- nano-second too slow and you'll be beaten.
- -------------------------
- POKEMON PINBALL PETIT
- -------------------------
- Using Diglett you can embark on a "Quest Mode" to pot the balls in the allotted
- time. Simply hold the Z button to draw Diglett back then release to have it
- pop up. f you clear Quest Mode once you can play as Pikachu. Other pokemon
- may also be available, but unfortunately, your progress cannot be saved and if
- you quit it's back to square one.
- -------------------------
- PUZZLE COLLECTION PETIT
- -------------------------
- An absorbing selection of sliding puzzles are on offer here. Using the A button
- just switch the squares about until you complete a pokemon picture. Once a
- pokemon has been revealed their info is put in the "minidex". Again though,
- you cannot save your progress so when you quit all progress is lost (that said,
- this is still a great selection of puzzles, the best of the lot).
- -------------------------
- SLOWKING JUDGE
- -------------------------
- Slowking has a job moonlighting as a line judge at a tennis match. Use A to
- call ball in, and B to call it out. The faster you make the calls, the better
- your score.
- -------------------------
- SNORLAX LUNCH TIME
- -------------------------
- A simple test of reactions, food will drop down in front of Snorlax. Press A to
- have him eat t. But don't think you can hammer the A button, sometimes Pichu
- will drop down and if you try to eat him, it's game over!

- ******************************* 7) JIRACHI FAQ ********************************
- ===============================================================================
- A lot of you may have just bought or rented this game simply to get Jirachi.
- Here is a quick list of what you need to have done to get it.
- 1) You MUST have beaten your Ruby/Sapphire game by having faced and beaten the
- Elite four once and got pokemon into the Hall of Fame.
- 2) You MUST have a GBA link cable, the gameboy player will NOT work.
- 3) You must have finished Pokemon Channel, that means watching all the new
- programmes across five days, finding the final part on day 5 and watching the
- full version on the Sky Projector all the way though to THE END.
- 4) Other than watching all the new programmes and filing your reports, the only
- other thing you need to do is make sure you have brought the Bus Pass for Mt.
- Snowfall, you may have to purchase the Binder and some other Passes before you
- can do so.
- 5) Once that has been done, you find the JIRACHI option accessible under the
- OPTIONS menu at the opening screen.
- 6) Link up your GBA and make sure you have an empty space in your GBA team as
- long as all the conditions have been satisfied you should be able to upload
- this rare pokemon without a hitch. Only one Jirachi can be registered per GBA
- cart.
- 7) This upload will also make a minor adjustment to the GBA games Berry growing
- programme, it appears there were some minor glitches with certain berries being
- planted in certain areas after a full calendar year of gaming. This update
- fixes those issues.
- 8) You can't name Jirachi.
- ------------------------
- IS JIRACHI WORTH IT?
- ------------------------
- Well lets take a look at it. Jirachi has the following base stats and natural
- ability.
- #384 National Pokedex number
- #201 New Pokedex number
- - JIRACHI (Wish Pokemon)
- Type: Steel/Psychic
- Height: 1' 0"
- Weight: 2.4 lbs.
- Ability: Serene Grace[Raises added effects chance]
- Pokédex Entry (Ruby): A legend states that Jirachi will make true any wish that
- is written on notes attached to its head when it awakens.
- If this Pokémon senses danger, it will fight without
- awakening.
- Pokédex Entry (Saph): Jirachi will awaken from its sleep of a thousand years if
- you sing to it in a voice of purity. It is said to make
- true any wish that people desire.
- Base Stats:
- HP: 100
- Attack: 100
- Defence: 100
- Speed: 100
- Special Attack: 100
- Special Defence: 100
- It learns the following moves:
- Wish (Normal) - N/A
- Confusion (Psychic)
- Rest (Psychic)
- Swift (Normal) - Level 10
- Helping Hand (Normal) - Level 15
- Psychic (Psychic) - Level 20
- Refresh (Normal) - Level 25
- Rest (Psychic) - Level 30
- Double-edge (Normal) - Level 35
- Future Sight (Psychic) - Level 40
- Cosmic Power (Psychic) - Level 45
- Doom Desire (Steel) - Level 50
- It can learn the following TMs: TM03 (Water Pulse), TM04 (Calm Mind), TM06
- (Toxic), TM10 (Hidden Power), TM11 (Sunny Day), TM15 (Hyper Beam), TM16 (Light
- Screen), TM17 (Protect), TM18 (Rain Dance), TM20 (Safeguard), TM21
- (Frustration), TM24 (Thunderbolt), TM25 (Thunder), TM27 (Return), TM29
- (Psychic), TM30 (Shadowball), TM32 (Double Team), TM33 (Reflect), TM34 (Shock
- Wave), TM37 (Sandstorm), TM40 (Aerial Ace), TM42 (Facade), TM43 (Secret Power),
- TM44 (Rest), TM48 (Skillswap).
- Like Mew and Celebi, Jirachi's base stats means it has a balanced high growth
- in all areas. So it has no super strengths, but also no crippling weaknesses.
- Personally of the three super-legendaries, I still rate Mew the highest as it
- is a single type so lacks the duel weaknesses and can learn every TM going
- meaning Mew still has the capacity to surprise. However Jirachi is powerful
- and unusual and will most likely become an integral part of your game.
- Definitely worth getting the game for.
- Finally I should point out that pokemon channel will set you back less than
- £20, even less if you rent it out. A few years ago spent twice that amount on
- train tickets to get to an official pokemon event being held a couple of
- hundred miles away and had to stay in one of the most boring towns in England
- (Stroud), for the chance to upload two Official Mew's to my pokemon red and
- blue carts. If your a REAL pokemon fan, these inconveniences are nothing. So
- be grateful you only have to play trough a cheap short game to get this super
- rare gift.
