Debug Menus

This is a sub-page of Pokémon Channel.

To do: Verify the codes for other regions (they've only been tested with PAL), and create codes for the menus without them.

The folder pch/scripts contains scripts for each of the game's functions, many of which are unused or debug related. All can only be controlled with the fourth controller. If using the Action Replay codes, any debug menu associated with a channel will replace said channel. Otherwise, they load upon boot up. They can also be accessed by replacing opening_demo.pkc with any of them.

3DAY-UZVA-2311M
NM8R-YPX2-9YQ33
N28Y-1B2G-KHNQK

A strange model viewer with Pokémon talking behind a table. Pressing Z makes them bobble up and down as if they're talking. You can also change the camera angle and flip them to the other side of the table.

test_adjust_hirou.pkc#

This takes place in your house with no furniture, with Pikachu standing in the middle. Pressing A makes him try to pick up something. Pressing X and then A makes him pick up a harmonica. He will endlessly walk in place. "Hirou" is Japanese for "pick up."

farmcounttest.pkc#

5QU9-YUE7-6Q1UR
5X69-FBQB-G5U9F
CKVF-HJ8E-E2RFD

A test of counting Mareep in Mareep Farm. It displays gibberish (most likely wrong-format Japanese) and the counter goes up. The text only appears properly in the Japanese version.

8Z4F-Y1MN-9D9HX
8AWK-CY42-HGC8W

8AWK-CY42-HGC8W
BUQR-DW0W-1ZFQ7

It's just the text "Do you have what it takes to count every Pokémon?" cut off, making it kind of ominous.

M6DA-4N7W-P5UJP
G4TJ-RMM7-FTNPZ
5X3C-38E8-ZW0TC

A very bizarre test of some sort that takes place in an unfinished version of your backyard with Pikachu. Pressing R throws apples, and throwing apples at Pikachu makes him grow. If he reaches a certain size, another Pikachu will appear. The cycle repeats.

superpikaviewer.pkc#

1VA5-R6TH-RA50J
J7V3-NQP7-M1G9C
8HTB-H9M1-4V3HD

Another Pikachu model viewer. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as SUPER as it sounds. Pressing A makes him fall asleep, then wake up, then fall back asleep.
