Product Description

Amazon.co.uk 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Pokemon Yellow - loads of new features in it, 23 Jun 2002
By A Customer
People may say that pokemon yellow is just another pokemon red or blue pokemon game. Well, it isn't but in fact millions of times better. You now have a pikachu following you right from the beggining of the game. You can turn to him to see how he feels. He can be happy, sleepy, excited, confused, amazed and several other things. In this new game you can get all of the starting pokemon, (from red and blue) Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle unlike in the other games when you could only get one. Pokemon's abilities have changed and now they have different attacks at different levels. Within in this game you can play a cute mini game where Pikachu surfs. Like in the television show Jesse games and Meowth are in this game. If you have a gameboy printer you can now print your pokemon off to prove you have that pokemon or for what ever reason. A lot of other trainers in the game have new pokemon. You can now play several different battling game with friends using a link cable aswell as trading pokemon. The pokemon's pictures have changed and improved. There are several other improvments, quite a lot of small ones such as a Chansey being behind the counter at the Pokemon Centre, Officer Jenny actually looking like Officer Jenny and the game is now yellow if it is on a Gameboy Colour. Pokemon Special Pikachu Edition, Yellow Version is compatible with Gameboy Classic/pocket, Gameboy Colour and link cables and printers can also be used. This game is very good and contains a lot of new features.

5.0 out of 5 stars This game is way cool!!!, 31 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Pokemon Yellow has lots more features than Blue or Red such as Jessie & James,Pikachu's Beach(if you have Pokemon Stadium for N64),different Pokemon to trade for,but best of all,even though you are guaranteed a Pikachu at the beggining you also get Bulbasaur,Charmander and Squirtle,so therefore you will end up with Pikachu,Venusaur,Charizard and Blastoise! Whereas in Red or Blue,you only have 1 out of the above! This is DEFINETELY my favourite game! A TOTAL must for true Pokemaniacs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pika Pika!!, 9 May 2004
This was the first game I brought for my gameboy and I am so glad that I did! This is by far the best pokemon game yet, inculding the new ones. Although pokemon crystal, ruby etc have been upgraded slightly they don't put pokemon yellow to shame. Pokemon yellow allows you to have a pikachu from the start (yay!) and to collect all three starter pokemon (double yay!). There is also a little secret tucked away into the game....there are 151 pokemon to collect ( meaning you can't stop after you've caught Mewtwo)!! Buy this game and good luck with it!!!!
