The first menu is named "Pikachu's Stats" and provides information about Pikachu's potential [[HP]], [[Dash]], [[Thunderbolt (stat)|Thunderbolt]] and [[Iron Tail (stat)|Iron Tail]] stats. A full bar means that the stat is complete and can no longer be updated at the [[Meeting Place]], whilst an empty bar means that Pikachu hasn't acquired the stat yet.

The friend list is a list of Pokémon which have became Pikachu's friends.

Many Pokémon, particularly those fought in battle have to be defeated twice to become a best friend, although other Pokémon such as those already seen in the introduction movie and Pokémon which require Pikachu to take a quiz to become friends are generally those which are initially regarded as best friends. Ordinary friends are denoted by an icon resembling a pink journal next to it friend's list number and best friends are denoted by an icon resembling a rainbow | The friend list is a list of Pokémon which have became Pikachu's friends.

==Currency== | ==Currency== | ||
Berries are the main currency in PokéPark, after saving Chikorita and meeting Venusaur they are required to enter the various attractions. Attractions accessible later in the game usually cost more berries, for example Bastiodon's Block Barrage at the cost of 20 berries and Bulbasaur's Daring Dash at the cost of just 5 berries. When Pikachu gains access to the Meeting Place; the centre of the park berries can be spent on powering up Pikachu's attacks and eventually teaching Pikachu the move {{m|Iron Tail}} where the tutor is {{p|Primeape}} who humorously does not have a tail. | Berries are the main currency in PokéPark, after saving Chikorita and meeting Venusaur they are required to enter the various attractions.
