The Pokémon Company goes mask off about their intentions in this unassuming Gamecube title, but can't there still be some value and insight to be found beneath its bleak exterior?

BONUS MEME!
Yes, we know it was released state-side as Hey You Pikachu, we were simply doing a little jokey joke about it, ignoring its existence out of spite, so to say. Might as well mention Pokémon Dash also having a semblance of Pikachu hang-outiness within it. Do those three games form the Pikachu Lounge trilogy? Absolutely not, what a ridiculous idea. By the way, I wonder how many Pokémon appear in this video. You could totally just sit down and meticulously count them all. Pikachu, Smeargle, Slowpoke, Squirtle, Delibird, etc. You'd have to be really bored, but definitely not as bored as we were having to watch the Pichu Bros episode like 50 times while making this video. I find it funny how when you watch that one repeatedly, it really highlights how uneven the starring roles for the gang are. The Pichu Bros are of course real important, the one with the tuft of hair is a bit older and scolds the younger one when he doesn't wanna give back the ticket to Oddish. Then we have Teddiursa, who sniffs up food with his snoot and say TEDDI URSA all the time. (You should mention Teddiursa somewhere in a comment if you read this.) Then of course we have Smoochum, who's the girl one, so she's vein about her own reflection and emotionally aware of Oddish's torment. After that we have Magby who says MAGBY when he recognizes a clock and then almost drowns in a river. His role is like nothing, but not as nothing as Wooper who literally just stands around in the background vibing. But then we have Azumarill who I guess is the one handing out the tickets to the other Pokémon, and forgot to give tickets to the Pichu gang. Did you notice how they just kinda hang out with them after that? Goes to the party and hands over their ticket at the same time, and then leaves with them. Bro thinks they're part of the squad. This doesn't even get into how Meowth's gang are a bunch of assorted misfits. You'd suppose it's some sort of Team Rocket extension, what with Meowth talking and hanging out with Wobbuffet, but then Cubone is just there because I guess they needed a drummer? And the Squirtle gang, who don't even play in the band during the party. What are they doing? Carrying plates? It's funny thinking about the logistics of Meowth taking them to the rooftop twice to look at the skyline and go "well guys, this is what I've always dreamed of" and I can just imagine Cubone being "why did he take us up to the roof to say this?" while Wobbuffet is just like "he's been dreaming about the rooftops?"
