Reception

Critical reception was mixed, focusing on the game's shortcoming as an actual game and its gendered focus and content.[2][5] The Telegraph called it "quite clever" and noted its variety of features.[5] IGN, in a mostly sarcastic review, noted that the organizer doesn't beep during upcoming events (as you can't keep the Game Boy Color on at all times) and felt that the game was missing a number of features.[2] Acclaim Entertainment posted a profit in 2001 that was in part attributed to the success of its Mary-Kate and Ashley video game series, including Pocket Planner.[6]
