'''Hey You, Pikachu!''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウげんきでちゅう''' ''Pikachu is Fine-achu'') is a spin-off game for [[Nintendo 64]] developed by [[Ambrella]]. The [[Voice Recognition Unit]], a specialized microphone for the Nintendo 64, is included with it. Using voice-recognition software, the game interprets a player's commands, letting one interact verbally with {{p|Pikachu}}.

The player is asked by [[Professor Oak]] to test out a new invention named the PokéHelper, which allows one to talk to any Pokémon present. The player goes to a fenced-in area of [[Viridian Forest]], and first meet the Pikachu that will become the partner through the game. The entire game takes place in an area between [[Pewter City]] and [[Viridian City]], according to the in-game maps.

There are three levels of difficulty, each of them accessible from a different location in the house, that offer 17 stages that can be replayed, and one stage that can be played once per saved file. The player's interactions with the world are limited to picking up items, using the Megaphone, once obtained, to knock fruits out of trees, giving items to Pikachu, and controlling Pikachu's general behavior via vocal commands.

The game is one of the two that utilizes the Nintendo 64's Voice Recognition Unit, and it understands about 200 words, including "{{m|Thunder Shock|ThunderShock}}", "{{m|Thunderbolt}}", and "{{m|Thunder}}".
