LET’S PLAY

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.

GAME 1

This game is broken up into three stages. In stage one you must capture 15 Pokémon. In stage two and three you must capture 5 Pokémon.

INSERTING THE BATTERIES

SCREW

AA AA AA AA

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.

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.

However once you capture a wild Pokémon they will be added to a capture list. This capture list will show you which wild Pokémon you have caught. Once you have caught a wild Pokémon they are now under your control, meaning you can then select that Pokémon to battle the next wild Pokémon, instead of using Pikachu each time.

GAME 3

In this game, you will be battling against Team Rocket. Team Rocket will start the game by selecting 25 Pokémon character. You will then be able to select 25 Pokémon from the remaining 150. Once you select your 25 Pokémon you will then see which Pokémon Team Rocket will attack with first. You then need to select a Pokémon out of your 25 to battle against Team Rocket. For each battle you must try to “hit” Team Rocket’s Pokémon 5 times. However, after you “hit” the enemy Pokemon, they will be able to chase after and counter “hit” your Pokemon. If you get “hit” three times you will lose that battle. To avoid a counter attack quickly move away from the enemy Pokémon after you “hit” him. You only need to move away for a few seconds, then you can attack the enemy Pokémon again. For each battle a point will be rewarded to the winner. Whoever wins the most battles out of 25 will win the game. Please note: you can use each of your selected 25 Pokémon once per battle. Can you beat Team Rocket?!

GAME 4

Game 4 will follow the same rules as game 2, however you only have 20 seconds to catch each Pokémon. If you don’t catch each one in the allotted time, all the Pokémon will escape and you lose the game.

GAME 5

Game 5 will follow the same rules as game 1, however you can select the number of Pokémon you wish to battle by pressing the Catch/Mode button after the select number of battle screen appears. Please note: the game will start with a minimum of 25 Pokémon.

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF

Your game will shut off automatically after three (3) minutes of non-use.

RESETTING YOUR GAME

If your game becomes unresponsive, use a ball point pen to press the

RESET button.
