When spoken to, HelloPika turns toward the sound and replies with “Pika-pika” or “Pika-pi!” It responds to speech randomly from a range of actions including replying, singing, attacking (Thunderbolt), nodding, shaking its head or laughing. Its cheeks also light up, and it laughs when you tickle its tummy. Kids will feel like they are playing with a real Pikachu, and will want to talk to it again and again to see which adorable reaction they will receive.
