The '''Variety Channel''' is a radio channel introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It mixes the [[Buena's Password]] channel with a couple more new features. Aside from the aforementioned program are a documentary and radio play; the three programs rotate on an hourly basis throughout the day.
'''Buena's Password''' (Japanese: '''アオイのあいことば''' ''{{tt|Aoi|Buena}}'s Password'') is a quiz show held in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] that was first introduced in {{game|Crystal}}.


==Programs==
The channel is broadcast in its own station in [[Generation II]], while in [[Generation IV]] it is part of the repertoire of the [[Variety Channel]].
===Pokémon Search Party===
Pokémon Search Party is a radio documentary covering the events a data crew encounter while exploring [[cave]]s and ruins.  More episodes become available as the player advances through the game.


===Serial Radio Drama===
==How to play==
The Serial Radio Drama program features four different radio plays of varying genres.
* An anime-style drama titled "The Young Pokéathlete [[Maximo]]", eight episodes total
* A suspense drama titled "Johto Case Notes," five episodes total
* A soap opera set around Johto and on the [[S.S. Aqua]] titled "Waves of Love," five episodes total
* A road film-style drama titled "Delinquent Road," four episodes total


===Buena's Password===
In order to play the quiz show, the player must listen to the [[Pokégear]] radio from 6 PM to midnight (in [[Generation IV]], at 2 AM, 5 AM, 8 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, 5 PM, 8 PM, and 11 PM). A secret password will be announced over the air, along with an invitation for listeners to come to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. The player is to go to the second floor and talk to [[Buena]], the show's host. She will give the player three options; if the correct one is picked, one point is added to the player's Blue Card. Only one point can be earned per day. In [[Generation II]] these points can be spent on prizes in the Radio Tower. In [[Generation IV]] prizes are given out the moment the player has the right amount of points. Changing the DS time to a different day will not allow another point to be earned.
{{main|Buena's Password}}
Buena's Password is a radio show where Buena tells the player a password, and the player will be able to go to [[Goldenrod City]] [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] where they player get can earn points and prizes for getting the password right.


In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, players receive gifts based on the points on their [[Blue Card]] as opposed to choosing what to purchase with these points, as was the case in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Points went down in the earlier games after buying items - something which the [[Generation IV]] remakes did not have.
Also, players cannot have more than 30p on the Blue Card, so in [[Generation II]] some points must be spent before earning more. In [[Generation IV]] the player will be issued a new Blue Card once the 30p limit is hit.

== Trivia ==


* "Serial Radio Drama" may have originally been intended to be called the "Radio Miniseries", as is evident from the radio located in [[Mahogany Town]].
==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
[[File:Buena's Password Golden Boys.png|thumb|120px|right|{{GnB|Gold}} listening to Buena's Password]]
In the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga, Buena's Password is featured briefly in the chapter ''[[GB15|Escape From The Mystery Forest!]]''. It comes on Gold's [[Pokégear]] radio as he is flipping channels while lost in the forest.


In the English translation by [[Chuang Yi]], [[Buena]] is still known as her Japanese name, Aoi.
