The '''Variety Channel''' (Japanese: '''バラエティー チャンネールーぅ''' ''Variety Channel'') is a radio channel introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It mixes the [[Buena's Password]] channel with a couple new shows. 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''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンそうさくたい''' ''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===
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.
The '''Serial Radio Drama''' (Japanese: '''れんぞくラジオドラマ''' ''Serial Radio Drama'') program features four different radio plays of varying genres, all of which are performed by Silver Drama (Japanese: シロガネげきだん ''[[Mt. Silver|Shirogane]] Troupe'').


* An anime-style drama titled "The Young Pokéathlete Maximo" (Japanese: ポケスリートしょうねん ケジメ) starring [[Maximo]], eight episodes total
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.

{| style="margin:auto; background: #A6D4FF; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #1E90FF;"
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.
