PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure: Difference between revisions

PokéPark contains a total of nine zones. These are managed by several zone keepers; such as {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Blaziken}}, whom also run their own attractions although initially refuse Pikachu and friends to join them because they are 'strangers' until conflict is resolved.

The [[Meeting Place]] is the center of PokéPark, allowing access to all the other zones although these are guarded by other Pokémon in earlier gameplay. Players will eventually be able to update Pikachu's Thunderbolt, Hitpoints, Dash and Iron Tail here via {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Ponyta}}. {{p|Bibarel}} and {{p|Primeape}} respectively for an increasing amount of berries depending on Pikachu's current skill in the stat. A stat can only be updated three times, costing 1000 and 1500 berries for the second and third training sessions.

The [[Beach Zone]] is also managed by {{p|Empoleon}}, although is initially taken over by {{p|Gyarados}} whom wants to run the zone himself. It is the location of the {{p|Pelipper}}'s Circle Circuit and Gyarados' Aqua Dash attractions, which are accessible in the process of solving the conflict.

The [[Cavern Zone]] is "a mine tunnel inside a mountain" and is accessible later in the game. Although it is managed by {{p|Blaziken}}, {{P|Bastiodon}} is responsible for his own Block Barrage attraction and freely allows Pikachu and friends to take part for 20 berries. It is the location of many common cave Pokémon such as {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Geodude}}.The cavern zone is also a zone shared with the lava zone, players also need to fix the mine cart first before they pass on to the lava zone.

Chase is a game where participants have to capture or run away from the other Pokémon. In PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure the minigame always involves Pikachu chasing and capturing (by dashing into it) another Pokémon within a certain time limit. {{M|Thunderbolt}} can be used to stun the fleeing Pokémon, especially [[Flying type]] Pokémon to make the chase easier but if the time limit runs out Pikachu loses. If Pikachu successfully captures the other Pokémon, it usually becomes Pikachu's friend. The same Pokémon has to be captured twice for it to become a 'best friend'.

Battles, unlike the main series of turn based Pokémon games involve Pikachu actively moving around the screen and attacking the opponent. Pikachu can deplete the opponent's health bar via a [[Dash]] attack, {{m|Thunderbolt}} strike or {{m|Iron Tail}} attack, although Ground-type Pokémon such as {{p|Torterra}} are only momentarily stunned by Thunderbolt and are not harmed by the attack. This also applies to Electric-type Pokémon and some others that would normally be somewhat effected such as {{p|Breloom}}. Pikachu starts off with a HP bar of two segments, although it can be extended up to five segments by upgrading the Hitpoints stat by training with {{p|Bibarel}} at the [[Meeting Center]] for a large amount of berries. Also, if you hit a Pokémon into the water, you will win regardless of whether you depleted its life bar.

Hide-and-Seek is a game where participants have to locate or hide from the other Pokémon however, PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure only involves Pikachu having to locate the opponent within a certain time limit. If Pikachu is approaching the Pokémon it's voice can be heard, suggesting that it is close-by. Similarly, if Pikachu is traveling a long distance away from the Pokémon the game will inform the player that they are going in the wrong direction. If Pikachu manages to locate the Pokémon it usually becomes one of his 'best friends' immediately, without the need of taking part in the same Skill Game again.

A few Pokémon when spoken to, such as {{p|Corsola}} and {{p|Delibird}} will choose to ask the player whether they want to participate in a quiz. Three multiple choice questions are asked with three choices for every question. There is no time limit, although if the player gets one question wrong Pikachu will have to take the quiz again, often with different questions. If every answer was correct, the Pokémon becomes one of Pikachu's 'best friends'.

The Obtacle Hop is less common and is only run by a few Pokémon such as a {{p|Spearow}} in [[Meadow Zone]], a {{p|Machamp}} in [[Cavern Zone]] and eventually {{p|Mew}} at the end of main storyline. The minigame involves Pikachu jumping from different obstacles with the aim of reaching the opponent within a certain time limit. Falling is allowed, although this will deplete time and send Pikachu back to the first obstacle. Later in the game, opponents may also throw obstacles such as boulders in the direction of Pikachu.

Each Attraction is a mini-game designed to test the player's skills. A Sky Prism Piece is awarded to the player by beating the high score in an Attraction. Players must clear each Zone's attractions to make progress in their adventure. After beating the game, certain legendaries can be unlocked by achieving the bonus requirements for all possible playable Pokémon in that attraction. The unlockable Pokémon is always the best possible candidate for playing the respective attraction.

In {{P|Bulbasaur}}'s Daring Dash (Japanese: '''フシギダネのふりふりダッシュ''' ''Fushigidane's Foot Race''), players move the Wii remote up and down to run as fast as they can. {{p|Mew}} is the best at this attraction and is unlocked automatically after clearing the Sky Pavilion.

In {{P|Pelipper}}'s Circle Circuit, players tilt the Wii remote to make the Pokémon move around the screen. They must fly through rings to get points. After each possible Pokémon has received a bonus for their performance, {{p|Latias}} will be unlocked. She is the best choice when playing this attraction being able to score over 30,000 points.

In {{p|Gyarados}}'s Aqua Dash (Japanese: '''ギャラドスのマリンスライダー''' ''Gyarados' Marine Slider''), players hold 2 to propel the Pokémon forwards, while tilting the Wii remote to turn. Hitting a {{P|Carvanha}} or {{P|Sharpedo}} will slow them down, while hitting a speed boost will make them faster. After each possible Pokémon has received a bonus for their performance, {{p|Manaphy}} will be unlocked.  

In {{P|Empoleon}}'s Snow Slide (Japanese: '''エンペルトのスノースライダー''' ''Emperte's Snow Slider''), players must guide the Pokémon around a course of snow, tilting the Wii remote to turn. There are speed boosts which may help the player, but they can also make it difficult to get around corners. The Pokémon will slow down if it hits a wall or obstacle. The fastest Pokémon in this attraction is {{p|Suicune}}.

In {{P|Bastiodon}}'s Block Barrage (Japanese: '''トリデプスのパネルクラッシュ''' ''Trideps' Panel Crash''), players move the Pokémon across the bottom of the screen using the directional buttons on the Wii remote, to stop the ball from getting past. To get points the ball must hit wooden panels with numbers on them. Pressing the 2 button to hit the ball gives it power, which means it can get past {{p|Bastiodon}}, who moves side to side in front of the panels, and the many {{p|Dugtrio}} who pop up on the field. If an unpowered ball hits a Dugtrio from the front, it'll be deflected back towards the player. If it hits from behind, the Dugtrio may go underground and let the ball pass, or it might deflect the ball back to the panels to score more points. If a powered up ball (power shot) hits Bastiodon, he will become dizzy and will temporarily be disabled. If the player shoots the ball normally, the points will equal 100 times the number on the panel. If the player uses a power shot, the points will equal 200 times the number on the wooden panel. For example, hitting a 2 gets 200 points and hitting a 4 with a power shot gets 800 points. Hitting two panels at once will not get a bonus, it will just get both the scores. The highest possible score in this game is 99,999 and the best Pokémon to play as is {{p|Metagross}}.

In {{P|Rhyperior}}'s Bumper Burn (Japanese: '''ドサイドンのおしだしヒートアップ''' ''Dosaidon' Heat Up Fight''), the player must tilt the Wii remote to bump as many Pokémon out of a circular stadium as possible in the given time limit to earn points. These are awarded for bumping other Pokémon out of the stadium and deducted for befriended Pokémon being bumped out of the stadium. Pokémon can unleash a special attack by pressing the 2 button after collecting a power-boost. Some attacks will cause the Pokémon to spin rapidly; others will cause them to explode or unleash an elemental attack. The best Pokémon to play as in this attraction is {{p|Heatran}}.

In {{P|Tangrowth}}'s Swing-Along, a series of ropes are set up along the bridge at the entrance of the mansion. The player must swing from rope to rope without falling and within the time limit. If they fall, they will be placed at the last line of ropes they passed over/under. {{p|Celebi}} is the best Pokémon for this attraction.

{{P|Dusknoir}}'s Speed Slam (Japanese: '''ヨノワールのクラッシュランニング''' ''Yonoir's Running Crash'') uses the same aim as {{P|Bulbasaur}}'s Daring Dash: to reach the end as fast as possible by shaking the Wii remote. However, the view of this six Pokémon race is different from Bulbasaur's attraction and there are obstacles that slow the Pokémon down when it hits them. There are two types of obstacles: stone walls, which will already be there at the start, and {{p|Spinarak}}, which come down attacthed to webs. The player must hit these obstacles unless they use certain [[Ghost-type]] Pokémon such as {{p|Gengar}}. The best Pokémon to play as in this attraction is {{p|Darkrai}}, who can only be befriended after every Pokémon has gotten a bonus.

In {{P|Rotom}}'s Spooky Shoot-'em Up, the player must defend themselves from an onslaught of {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}} and occasionally one of the Rotom [[Form_differences#Rotom|forms]]. Rotom is the best Pokémon for this attraction.

{{P|Absol}}'s Hurdle Bounce (Japanese: '''アブソルのつぎつぎハードル''' ''Absol's Hurdle Succession'') uses the same aim as {{P|Bulbasaur}}'s Daring Dash. However, the view of this attraction is different from that of Bulbasaur's and there are hurdles that the player must jump over by pressing the 2 button. If the Pokémon hits the hurdle or trips on it while jumping, it will cause the Pokémon to slow down. The best Pokémon to play as in this attraction is {{p|Shaymin}}, who will start off in its land forme but transforms into sky forme before it starts running.

In {{P|Salamence}}'s Air Ace (Japanese: '''ボーマンダのスーパースカイレース''' ''Bohmander's Super Sky Race''), the player must fly through the air and destroy targets with a projectile attack. Once every Pokémon has achieved their bonus, {{p|Latios}} will be unlocked.

In {{P|Rayquaza}}'s Balloon Panic, the player runs across a Rayquaza shaped balloon passing through rings to gain points. At the same time, the player must dodge {{p|Electrode}} and {{p|Voltorb}} as well as avoid falling off the balloon itself. Once the player has reached the other end of the balloon the view will be aimed towards the back of the player and {{P|Drifloon}}, {{P|Drifblim}}, and Rayquaza will fly across the screen holding targets the player must destroy. Occasionally one will have a large X on it which will take away 300 points. The best Pokémon for this attraction is {{p|Deoxys}}.
