Ok, because I'm at work I'm kinda stealing time for posting this, but I'll explain the 'rules' of Ganbare! Neo Poke Kun.
Neo Poke Kun is a little critter that lives in your Neo Geo Pocket. It eat, drinks, sleeps, plays, and works inside your Neo Geo Pocket to give you new games. Because he works at home, he only works when he feels like it, and plays for the rest of the time. Every now and then guests stop by if you press the left button, if you press the directional joystick cryptic things happen inside the small room. Full joystick rotations from diagonal directions back to the original position triggers bizarre events such as sudden electrical fires, floods, angels that descend from heaven to pick up Neo Poke Kun, etcetera. Presumably *all* these things affects Neo Poke Kun's urge to put on his hard hat and go work to make you games. When he dons his hard hat and steps out of the room, press the left button to cut away to a periscope view of Neo Poke Kun, and just randomly bush buttons and twirl joysticks to help him put a little more of his back into it. No bullshit lie, I let him go outside without watching him or providing any assistance and he just totally slacked off.
Neo Poke Kun tends to work better during the day. At night he sleeps.
I'm still trying to figure out whether earning medals increases Neo Poke Kun's work incentive.
