Product Description:
Nintendo Gameboy. Pokemon Special Pikachu EDITION.
Editorial Review:
While it's basically the same game as the previously released Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition features enhancements that make it the best version yet. In all three versions, the player is on a quest to become the World's Greatest Pokémon Trainer, with exploration and Pokémon battles (think advanced paper-scissors-rock) factoring heavily into the gameplay. While the game world is the same in all three versions, the Pokémon you encounter vary from version to version; the underlying goal of collecting all 151 Pokémon can only be met by trading Pokémon via Link Cable with another player with a different Pokémon version. (Players can also battle against one another using the Link Cable setup.)
Pokémon Yellow follows the TV cartoon series more closely than the other versions. Your first Pokémon in Yellow is Pikachu, and he travels alongside you as opposed to inside a Pokéball (like most Pokémon). Pikachu's mood can be displayed virtual pet style: keeping him happy is important, as his mood affects certain events in the game. In addition to the inclusion of other TV show elements like Team Rocket, new battle modes between players are available as well as a secret game called Pikachu's Beach.
If you haven't played any of the Pokémon games before, Pokémon Yellow is the best place to start. But while Pokémaniacs will go gaga over Yellow's new features, less enthusiastic veterans of Red and Blue may not find the extras to be quite so special. --Joe Hon
Pros:
- Best version yet of the highly addictive Pokémon game
- Pikachu's moods raise the game's cuteness bar to an all-new level
- Features new battle modes between players
- Includes Pikachu's Beach secret game
Cons:
- Pokémon battles can be repetitive at times
- New features may not be enough for some Pokémon veterans

It's similar to Crystal,Emerald,and Platinum. They're all sister games. They're extensions of the other two in their generation,the same with stuff added.
However,this is still a great game. You start with a Pikachu,and you cannot evolve it. However,you can obtain the other three starters. Your rival,"Green",owns a Eeeve.
This game is based off the anime. However,your character,default name "Red",is not Ash/Satoshi,and your rival,"Blue"(Green in Japan,and FR/LG),is not Gary. Still,expect many similar things,such as Nurse Joys.

This is a miraculous game, it features a style seen before in the Red and Blue Versions of Pokemon. However in Yellow you start with a Pikachu instead of Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle which adds difficulty to the game.
A good portion of the beginning to this games features ground and rock type Pokemon, which Pickachu is weak against, and has no attacks that do much damage. So, you are forced to either level your Pokemon insanely or follow the motto and start catching them all to even your odds out with the characters ad gym leaders.
This also gives you the three starter Pokemon after completing certain tasks, which you must do anyway, thus again evening your odds to "Catch 'Em All". Plus it gives a better understanding of personalities inside of the game and seeing how hard programmers had to work to make this happen.
In Red Version all game play is in reddish tints, respectively Blue Version is done all in red; Yellow Version however gives you various colors which gives each town more personality. Every city is named after a color in the original three versions, and having it all in color lets you see just that, every city has it's own colors and history.
This game is something I'll be passing down to my children when I have them, I believe that everyone, anywhere, wants to truly be a Pokemon Master!
