The {{player}} and his/her {{p|Pikachu}} have been asked for help from Professor Oak. Play varies between the television programs and exploring [[Mintale Town]]. Gameplay usually lasts for at least a week as new programs are unlocked each day (the game is played in real time).

Most of the Pokémon have their anime voices, including {{MTR}}, and the game includes a unique anime episode titled ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''.

| The [[Pichu Brothers]] episode.  There are many channels for this, giving the choice each of five parts, the full version, or foreign language versions. In the NA version of the game, the foreign language of the channel is Japanese. In the European version of the game, if the game language is set in English, the foreign language will be Spanish. If the game language is set in Spanish, the foreign language will be English. In the English version of the game, there is also a special "Kasumi version", which is the Japanese version but with {{an|Misty|Kasumi}} as the narrator.

| The game's shop, hosted by Spencer the {{p|Squirtle}} (wearing the [[Squirtle Squad]] glasses). Most items are room decorations, though cards and Pokémon mini games can also be obtained. Items will be delivered by {{p|Delibird}} the following day.  Bus passes must be obtained to travel to each of the three regions, though Delibird will deliver these immediately.

|An exercise program.  Pikachu loves to exercise alongside {{p|Smoochum}}, the host.

| Smoochum, who is the sister of the Smoochum from the exercise channel, hosts the ranking channel. First, five Pokémon or things are put in popularity order. Then, Pokémon are asked which of two items they prefer. Finally, some statistics about the player are given.

| A number of {{p|Oddish}} come onto the screen and the player can bet on whether there will be an even or odd number. Pikachu loves this show.

Players can obtain {{p|Jirachi}} in both the European and Australian versions of the game. It can be downloaded onto a version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. After unlocking the full version of ''The Pichu Bros. in Party Panic'', Jirachi will appear, and the mini-movie will be shown above the campfire. The [[Berry Glitch]] in Ruby and Sapphire can also be fixed.

Pokémon Channel also includes a virtual Pokémon mini. Pikachu must find it under the bed before it can be played with. The virtual Pokémon mini comes with a Pokémon Channel exclusive game, Snorlax's Lunch Time. The player has to buy other Pokémon mini games on Shop 'N Squirtle.

===Pokémon Pinball Petit===

Pokémon Pinball Petit allowed the player to try the first 10 levels of Quest mode, while disallowing the player to save, meaning you could not keep your high score.

* The title music of Snorlax's Lunchtime is also used as Snorlax's theme in [[Pokémon Zany Cards]].

* The Bumpers are similar to {{wp|BBC}} bumpers.
