In 2000 it received a sequel toy called the ''Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS'' (''Pocket Pikachu Color: With Gold & Silver!'' in Japan and ''Pokémon Pikachu Color'' in Europe). The ''Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS'' is less interactive than the original as Pikachu takes care of itself. It could also interact with ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'' through Mystery Gift.

Added DiffLines:

The more the player walks, the more watts the toy receives (with 20 steps equaling to 1 watt). Watts are used to buy Pikachu presents and gamble. Pikachu does a variety of things depending on whether it likes the player or not. It might shock or ignore players that it hates but it'll wave or play if it likes a player.
