'''Puckman Pockimon''' is an arcade game, which was released by [[Genie]] in [[2000]]; it runs on [[Sega]]'s C2 hardware, and stars [[Namco]]'s signature character [[Pac-Man]] as well as [[Nintendo]]'s signature [[Pokémon]] [[bp:Pikachu|Pikachu]], but is not officially part of both the [[:Category:Pac-Man|Pac-Man series]] and the [[:Category:Pokémon|Pokémon series]]. Both players must use two 4-way joysticks to direct Pac-Man, and Pikachu, around the mazes, while avoiding both the four original ghosts (Pinky is still depicted as a male in this, even though he was given his gender swap by [[Namco Hometek]], Namco's American direct-to-console division, for [[Pac-Man World]] in [[1999]]) and various other Pokémon - and most of the music and effects heard for this game were taken from [[Midway]]'s [[Ms. Pac-Man]], although they were not originally heard on the Yamaha YM-2612 and Texas Instruments SN-76496 (as they did not exist in [[1981]]). Also, when the players clear a round, they are shown a digitized photograph of a Korean woman, as that is the country where this game originated.
