Item Condition

Complete in box: the Program Expansion Disc, the manual and the original case, all original; the e-Reader cards this pack originally shipped with are not included, and anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. This is the expansion disc on its own, not the full game — it needs a Pokémon Channel save on your memory card to run. For the specifics, look to the photos — they're of this exact item. Discs are professionally resurfaced when they need it and tested before listing. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Pokémon Channel asks you to do something no other Pokémon game had: sit down next to Pikachu and watch television. Developed by Ambrella, the studio behind Hey You, Pikachu!, and published by Nintendo in Japan in July 2003 as Pokémon Channel ~Pikachu to Issho!~, it is a slow, cozy slice-of-life game about spending time with Pikachu rather than battling anyone. You flip through channels together, and Pikachu reacts to what is on, drifting off, cheering, or wandering over to the screen, as the bond between you grows.

The programming is what makes it so charming. The Pichu Bros. star in their own serialized cartoon, Psyduck anchors Pokémon News Flash while Meowth reports from the field, Shop 'N Squirtle sells furniture and goods that Delibird drops off the next day, and there are quiz shows with Wobbuffet, workouts with Smoochum and Slowpoke's weather report. Away from the TV you can explore Mintale Town and earn collectible Nice Cards by answering the questions of the wild Pokémon you meet. Pikachu's Pokémon mini, hidden under the bed, plays emulated games for the little handheld, and the Japanese version has ten of them against six in the international release, including Japan-only titles such as Skateboard Pichu, Hoppip Jump and Pokémon Race Mini.

The Program Expansion Disc is the Japan-only companion to the game. It reads your Pokémon Channel save from the memory card and adds new channels: a short film on the history of the Pokémon movies, a trailer for Jirachi: Wish Maker, the music video for "Polka O Dolka", a fireworks show, and a Nintendo channel previewing Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire and the e-Reader.

Taken together, it is a little time capsule of Pokémon in 2003, the summer the Hoenn games and Jirachi's movie were the talk of the fandom, and a distinctive import for collectors of Japanese Pokémon releases.

This listing is the Program Expansion Pack by itself — the expansion disc, not the main Pokémon Channel game, which you need to own already.
