![]() Only problem is now we want the whole set! ▼ HelloPika and HelloVui are small and light enough to carry around in your bag or pocket. Like the HelloPika, HelloVui also has cheeks that light up, and it turns to look at you when you call out its name, only this model responds with cute “Iibui” sounds. Joining the UchiPika this year is the HelloVui, which is a companion to the HelloPika and modelled on the ever popular Eevee (whose name is written as “ Iibui” in katakana, which is stylised as “Vui” for the new release). He also responds to daily phrases like “ohayo” (“good morning”), “itte kimasu” (“I’m going out”), and “tadaima” (“I’m home”) with a range of “pika” sounds appropriate to each situation. ▼ No word on whether or not Pika can understand English yet, which is great motivation to learn Japanese.Ĭalling out “akaruku shitai na” (“I want to make it bright”) prompts UchiPika to turn the lights on for you, and if you call out “utatte” (“sing”), little Pikachu will break out in song. Once that’s all been set up, all you have to do is call out “Pikachu” and then a command like “terebi wo mitai na” (“I want to watch television”), which will prompt him to respond with “Pika!” and turn the TV on for you. Packed with voice recognition features, an infrared system, and a universal remote control, UchiPika can be programmed to control the power, volume and channels on your television. Take a look at the UchiPika in action below: Thankfully, though, he stops short of delivering his thunderbolt move on the household. The UchiPika has all that and more, because this one now has the power to switch your lights on and off, control your TV, and even respond to vocal cues like “100,000 volts”, which causes it to wiggle its head and light its cheeks. That model provided entertainment and companionship with head turns, light-up cheeks, and various cries of “Pika!” covering a surprising range of emotion in response to your voice. But that was then, and this is now, when fans get to own a robot Pikachu that talks, sings…and controls electric equipment around the house!Ĭalled the UchiPika (Uchi means “home” in Japanese), the new robot is a step up from the one we saw last year, which was called HelloPika. A talking Eevee robot is arriving in Japan this summer too!īack when Pokémon was first released in the ’90s, fans of pocket monsters like Pikachu had little hopes of sharing their homes with a moving, talking character from the series.
