Hey You, Pikachu! is a simulation game which lets you talk with Pikachu. It is notable for being the only Nintendo 64 game released in North America to use the Voice Recognition Unit (VRU), which is Nintendo-speak for "dopey-looking microphone".

Crash Handler
If the game ever crashes, it'll display a very basic crash handler at the top of the screen.
Unused Areas
Macro Test
Using the GameShark code below brings you to an unused area known as "Entryway" ("げんかん" in the Japanese version), and causes the text "Macro Test"/"はよん" to appear at the top of the screen. It's apparently the house's entryway. In the US version, there's a Bulbasaur stuck in the center and Pikachu is always carrying a pink purse.

In the Japanese version, the text "まだ なにも はんのう しません" ("There's still no response") appears after a few seconds.
Additionally, in the Japanese version the doors have Poké Helper entries that inform the player where the door will take them, however pressing A has no effect.
| Japanese | English |
|---|---|
ドア ここから じぶんのへや に いける Ａボタンで とおることが できる |
Door From here, you can go to your room. Press the A button to pass through it. |
ドア ここから モエギそうげん いりぐち に いける かぎが かかっている |
Door From here, you can go to the entrance to Springleaf Field. It's locked. |
ドア ここから うちのにわ に いける |
Door From here, you can go to your garden. |
If the player says the name of an item to Pikachu, it will appear in its hands, and the text "NUT 0 FRUIT 0" appears. If the item is a type of nut, the text will be "NUT 1 FRUIT 0", and if the item is a fruit, it will display as "NUT 0 FRUIT 1".
Regional Differences
The US version has several changes from the Japanese one. A European version wasn't released due to trouble with recognizing various accents at the same time.
Speech Indication
In the American release, along with the little person on the indicator talking, a bubble appears when the player is actively talking into the microphone to further indicate that the microphone is receiving input.
In the Japanese version, a bubble does not appear during this time, though everything else is the same. The bubble only appears when it's being sent to Pikachu.
Pokémon Cries
Every Pokémon except for Pikachu, Magnemite, Caterpie, and Butterfree have different cries between regional versions. This is because the Pokémon go by different names between Japanese and English, and the voice work was changed to match the English dub of the anime series. In the case of Magnemite, its cry is simply a screeching noise, which required no change even though its Japanese name is different than its English one.
Player's Home
| Japan | US |
|---|---|
 |
 |
In the Japanese version, a pair of shoes can be seen right outside the sliding glass door of the player's room. In Japan, people take their shoes off before entering their homes, a tradition that western countries like America don't follow so strictly, hence the shoes' removal.
| Japan | US |
|---|---|
 |
 |
The console under the television set (which resembles a Nintendo 64) in the Japanese version looks rather unpolished and appears to have North American Super Nintendo cartridges included with it. The entire thing was changed to look more like an N64 in the American release.
| Japan | US |
|---|---|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Additionally, to show the N64 logo in more detail, it was given its own texture separate from the console front texture. The cartridge's label (depicting a game seemingly named "Robocom") had a portion removed from the bottom to more closely resemble an actual N64 cartridge.
 | To do: Graphic rips/screenshots. |
The fishing posters that the player receives are different in design between versions.

Several of the books' spines seen in the player's bedroom were retextured with (still mostly unreadable) English text.

Additionally, there are what appear to be manga magazines on the ground. The Japanese magazines are titled 「ポケモン少年」 (Pokémon Shonen) and all consist of the same base image, just tinted different with colors and with a different number on each one. The US version, titled Pokémon & You, forewent the numbers and featured different Pokémon for each cover.
Item Changes
Certain items that the player and Pikachu can play with are different.
| Japan | US |
|---|---|
 |
 |
The onigiri (known as a riceball) item from the toolbox was changed to a cupcake in the North American version.
| Japan | US |
|---|---|
 |
 |
The Japanese version has eggplants, whereas the American version has corn. The result is that Japan misses out on popcorn which is obtained when Pikachu shocks the vegetable.

|---|---|
 |
 |
In Viridian Forest, the player finds Cattails rather than Horsetails.
| Japan | US |
|---|---|
 |
 |
In Springleaf Field, the Morning Glory in the Japanese version became a Bluebell in the US one, although the models remain unchanged since it's just a texture swap.
"No Microphone" Icon
| Japan | US |
|---|---|
 |
 |
In the Japanese version, the icon displayed in the lower-right-hand corner of the screen when the microphone is not plugged in is small and static. This was apparently too easy for players to miss. In the American version, the icon was rendered bigger, animated, and makes a buzzing sound.
Piñata Game
| To do: Check to see if any part of this game is still in the American version's code. |
In the American version, going to Cobalt Coast in Pikachu's Play Days leads to a Piñata party where Pikachu has to hit a Poké Ball Piñata. In the Japanese version, Pikachu instead plays a similar game called Suikawari.
The objective of the game is to hit a watermelon with a stick, while Pikachu wears Ash Ketchum (Satoshi)'s hat from the anime series to cover his eyes. As such, there are watermelons scattered around along with the bananas, and Pikachu has to hit the watermelons. Pikachu can trip on the watermelons a couple times before he actually has to quit the game, whereas tripping on bananas automatically ends the minigame.
| Japan | US |
|---|---|
 |
 |
If Pikachu loses the minigame, he gets a soda can pull tab in the Japanese version, which was changed to a bottle cap ring for the American release. This was likely changed since pull tabs had been completely phased out in North America at that time.
Pokéhelper
| Japan | US |
|---|---|

|
 
|
 
|
|
|
The Pocket Helper was renamed Pokéhelper for the English release, as well as being mostly retextured, with the Japanese text being translated, and the START button label being changed from OFF to Close.
