Nintendo Sanrio Hello Kitty Pocket Game Virtual Pet 1998 Pedometer

Pocket Pikachu Pedometer – The Nintendo Virtual Pet That Turns Your Steps Into an Adventure

Step into the magic of Pokémon with the legendary Pocket Pikachu Pedometer, the groundbreaking electronic game from Nintendo released in 1998. This unique handheld device transforms every step you take into virtual rewards, blending physical activity with fun while keeping your digital Pokémon companion happy and engaged.

Innovative Gameplay Concept

The Pocket Pikachu features a brilliantly simple mechanic: the more you walk, the more Watts (energy points) you earn to interact with your virtual Pikachu. With its charming LCD screen, you’ll enjoy Game Boy-style animations as Pikachu eats, plays, sleeps, and reacts emotionally based on your care and activity level. It’s a nostalgic blend of fitness and fun—Pokémon style.

Authentic Collector’s Editions Available

Interactive Features That Go Beyond Walking

The Pocket Pikachu 2 GS adds depth with built-in games like slots, high-low card games, a digital alarm clock, and the ability to share Watts with other Pocket Pikachu owners. Its Game Boy connectivity makes it an essential piece of any Pokémon fan’s adventure toolkit.
