Chee-Chai Alien is a game for Game Boy Color.
Summary
This game is a compilation of minigames, with collectable characters known as Chaliens. It is normally only possible to play the game on a Game Boy Color (due to one of the main features of the game requiring infrared port use; which the Game Boy Advance does not have). The Chaliens can only be found by pointing the Game Boy Color at artificial light sources. The Chaliens can be interacted with (loosely similar to Pokémon and Tamagotchi) and have their dark matter extracted to advance the story. Playing with the Chaliens in the "Polariton" allows for the player to unlock their minigames.
Notes and cameos
This game is owned by The Pokémon Company affiliate and not necessarily by Nintendo, and the developers published this game by themselves. Despite this, the "Chalien" series later became its own Nintendo franchise (beginning with Nonono Puzzle Chalien being published by Nintendo). The game has a number of cameos which are as such;
- Saraba tells the player at the beginning of the game that the concept of the game is like Pokémon.
- Dolphin, Advan and Rabuta are based on the Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance and Love Tester, respectively.
- Denny's minigame "Hunger Flight" is based on Balloon Fight's "Balloon Trip" mode.
- Myd's minigame "Mystery Circle", includes "!" marks above the farmer's head; similar to those found in Pokémon.
