Pokémon Channel is a fascinatingly bizarre
GameCube title that released in 2003.
However, it features long segments of
the Pichu Bros. anime, with no option
to skip viewing them.
This is a major roadblock for content creators,
as YouTube’s Content ID will automatically
claim and remove gameplay footage that
shows even a fraction of the anime segments.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I progress after each in-game day?
Much like Animal Crossing, Pokémon Channel uses the GameCube
hardware’s real-time clock.
When the final report for the day is written, and the game suggests you
wait until the next day for new programs to arrive, you can enable
Custom RTC in Dolphin to complete the game in one sitting.
Config -> Advanced -> Custom RTC

Does this work on real hardware?
I have not personally tested it, but it should work!
Will there be a PAL or JPN version?
No! I don’t have the skill to port it, and I don’t want to pay a bounty
for a reverse engineer to port everything over to the other regions.
If someone out there wants to port it voluntarily, I would be
delighted to add it to this page.
