LET’S PLAY

1. Press ON to turn on the unit. "Pokémon Poké Ball" will
scroll across the screen and you will be greeted by Pikachu.

2. GAME 1 will be displayed on the screen. Press the CATCH/MODE
button to scroll through the games. When the game number you
want is displayed, press CATCH/ENTER. (There are 5 different games
in your Poké Ball. Individual games will be explained separately.)

3. HIGH SCORE will be displayed on the screen. (This is the highest
score ever acheived on this Poké Ball, not for a specific game.) Then,
the game will start.

4. When a game starts, Pokémon graphics will appear on the LCD. Also
two LEDs will be lit. The LEDs represent the Pokémon that you are
playing as and the Pokémon you are trying to catch.

5. Rotate the ball so that the lights move around the grid. Your goal is
to try and hit the wild Pokémon first to weaken it, then you must
get the wild Pokémon into the center.

6. When the large LED in the center of the grid is lit, press both CATCH
buttons. If you timed it right, you will “CATCH” the weakened wild
Pokémon and will be rewarded with graphics on the LCD.

7. Use the CATCH/ENTER button to scroll through the information in a
BIO category. Use the CATCH/MODE button to scroll to the next BIO
category.

8. When you have finished reviewing the information, press both
CATCH buttons to display the next Pokémon.

9. Repeat steps 4 - 8 until the game is over.

When you first start game one you will see a few sub screens, press
either Catch button to advance and start stage one. When the game
starts two LED lights will appear. One will be the wild Pokémon and the
other will be Pikachu. The goal is to move Pikachu and attack the wild
Pokémon, this is done by rotating the ball. When you successfully
attack and "hit" the wild Pokémon you will hear an attack sound effect
and the wild Pokémon LED light will start to flash. You must "hit" each
wild Pokémon 3 times to weaken them in stage one. In stage two and
three you must "hit" them 5 times. Once you have attacked and "hit"
the wild Pokémon (the correct number of times) Pikachu will automati­cally move to the center LED light returning into the Poké Ball. Now
you must again rotate the ball to get the weakened wild Pokémon to
the center LED light position, then quickly press both Catch buttons to
"Catch" the wild Pokémon.

GAME 2

In this game, your goal is to catch 25 Pokémon. They will appear on the
grid one at a time. The game continues until you catch all 25. You play
as Ash and Pikachu trying to capture the 25 Pokémon. This game is
broken up into three stages. In stage one and two you must capture 10
Pokémon. In stage three you must capture 5 Pokémon.
