Fuck yes I do. I still have it actually. Maybe I'll boot it up this weekend.
I really loved Pokemon Channel a lot. It was just a nice relaxing, mellow game. A good way to take a break and just zen out either after a long/hard/shitty day or from a more action-oriented or competetive game.
I spent HOURS exploring all the outdoor areas to meet every Pokemon, see everything I could in the environments, and collect all the Friend Cards. I had every TV Channel, my Pikachu was my best friend, and I watched the full Pichu Bros movies projected into the night sky. It was awesome.
I was obsessed with the Squirlte shopping channel too. Constantly decorating the bedroom was a blast. Hell, so many of the Pokemon accessories and home goods could EASILY be made in real life and I know I'd buy them in an instant. Cuchions, photo frames, notebooks, posters....my favourite things to collect were cool TVs themselves. A TV shaped like a Wooper with a wavy pattern that looked like water droplets, a Sudowoodo TV in sepia tones, everything was just really quirky and fun.
Plus having a bunch of Pokemon Mini games to play on an in-game emulator was awesome too. I remember getting really good at the Snorlax one.
Thanks for reminding me about this game OP.
