Standardised...Need I Bother Saying It?
Control: 5
Your expanse of freedom is limited to moving in a small proximity, making it difficult to play. Pikachu is controlled entirely by the programme. The best control you get, unfortunately, is flipping through channels, but making a report to Oak may be difficult once Pikachu is able to change the station.
Environment: 6
Like all RPGs, access to other areas is achieved through progress, but the progress in this game is entirely selective. The areas are detailed, granted, and a general array of Pokémon — including Jirachi — feature. The shows repeat themselves, consuming entire frequencies, and the English-language Pichu Brothers In Party Panic episode is spread out over five channels without proper intermission while the Japanese-language episode is crammed into one station. The good thing, however, is that the conclusion to the episode takes five different forms.
Tact: 3
Unfortunately, Pokémon Channel is the black sheep of the Pokémon trilogy, since you only domesticate Pikachu and you run a test on its habits by letting it watch a little television. In reality, the test results could be fallacious as each Pokémon species is guaranteed to have varying instincts.
Graphics and Sound: 7
The sound is soft and appropriately thematic, but it is still characteristic of a toddler's game. The graphics are fine, if not flattened like a pancake.
Enjoyment: 4
This is about the worst game in the trilogy ever, and we are all looking for an improvement. Even Colosseum is less restricted.
Final Grade: 50 (F)
