Hey You, Pikachu!
About Hey You, Pikachu!
Hey You, Pikachu! is a Nintendo 64 game that feels like a real-life pet experience with Pikachu. You talk to it—yes, literally speak! It listens and reacts to your voice, learning commands and responding based on what you say. You play with it, feed it, play little games, explore together, and earn points that unlock more fun things to do.
Every day in the game brings something new. You might go fishing, gather food, or have a picnic with Pokémon friends, guided by Professor Oak’s voice. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship grows. Even today feels special when Pikachu smiles, hops around, and follows your voice.
The game has a bittersweet moment too: after a year of playing—365 days—Professor Oak asks you to release Pikachu, because it’s wild after all. You say goodbye, Pikachu leaves, the credits roll—and just when you think it’s over, Pikachu hops back into your life. It’s quirky, a little odd, but somehow heartwarming.
Why it’s memorable
- It’s one of the few Pokémon games where you literally talk to Pikachu—no text commands here.
- Activities are light and playful—more about bonding than battling.
- The goodbye-and-then-return twist feels like you really formed a friendship.
If you’re curious what it’d be like to raise a Pikachu friend and chat with it every day, Hey You, Pikachu! is a nostalgic slice of imaginative fun—quirky, soft, and a bit unexpected.
