Your voice travels to Pikachu through the N64 Voice Recognition Unit and microphone - both included. - Pal around with Pikachu - together you'll gather cooking ingredients, fish for favorite water Pokemon, and even hunt for buried treasure on a deserted island. - Speak to Pikachu using a variety of key words and phrases. Friendship is based on communication, and there's plenty to talk about!
