Pocket Pikachu (or Pokemon Pikachu) is a virtual pet. However, it�s much more advanced. There are built-in sensors that allow it to sense when you are walking or running. This builds up your points (called Watts). You can bet the watts in a slots game to win more watts. The watts can be given to Pikachu as gifts. There�s also a built-in clock which helps in telling you when to feed Pikachu, or when he needs to play. If you ignore Pikachu, then he will do the same and won�t respond to you. Pocket Pikachu is now available in the U.S. for around $20.
