Pokémon Channel

Even after many mind numbing hours of labouring our way though this title we still fail to find a point to it. Who in their right mind would make a game with such a lack of meaning, of interest and of excitement? The basic premise is you, sitting there watching TV in a stupid Pokémon world before getting so bored you go and tidy the loft or water the Bougainvillea. In all honesty this isn't a game, its interactive boredom, and we don't want to have to pay forty pounds for something that we can easily get from daytime television.

 

You just sit there and watch TV with an electronic rat watching stupid Pokémon buggering about on the screen. There are various shows, all just as pointless as the one that proceeds and follows it, if not more so. We fail to understand why anyone would want to play a game that involves watching TV. To our minds the better option is to just watch TV and scrap the pricey game, and if you like to divulge in such things with yellow and white satanic rats, then buy a stuffed toy from Woolworths.

There are quite a lot of programmes; from Psyduck and Meowth doing the news to Smoochum fronting keep fit items. At first it is vaguely amusing, but soon any normal person will either get bored or deeply disturbed by what is on show. You can even paint pictures of your favourite scenes, or even make amusing posters showing your outrage at how dull and pointless the game is.
