This game looks very fun. It says it is made by Creatures. They made Pokemon right?

Game Freak made Pokemon, but Creatures did a lot of the uh.. creatures themselves.

Anoop did a little write up on IGN about the new game, but couldn't parse the name and didn't have any idea what it was -- it's a puzzle game starring the Chee-Chai Aliens. Chee-Chai Alien was a Gameboy Color game where you "caught" aliens by holding up the GBC infrared port to various forms of light/IR signals (remote controls, etc.). The differing wavelengths "contained" different aliens, so the trick was to find as many light sources as possible to get the whole set.

In reality, it's a sham of the "love-detector" order -- I've collected a huge number of aliens from the same damn TV remote -- but the effect is nice and convincing, and hey, it's fun to believe.

WTH. That sounds crazy. What can you do with the aliens after you caught them? They should incorporate that idea into a Pokemon game.

Very little, really.

You know those toys from the early 80's -- not sure how best to explain this. You'd fill the toy aquarium with water and press buttons on the front, which would create water currents that would move hoops and balls around inside. There's a digital version of that, where you play the same sort of water pinball with the aliens.
