This is the so called "Better version" of pokemon blue and Red. The only thing that's better is that you can get Charmander , Squitle , and bulbasaur. the graphics chanmged a little bit and Pikachu is the only pokemon that cries it's name!!! Why is that? But Pikachu learns new atyttacks like: Dulble team at Lv.15. It raises your Envade. Slam at Lv 20 . A normal phsical attack . and Thunderbolt at Lv.26. Pikachu is your starting pokemon. But It can't evovle. Raichu like kicks ass. Raichu has one attack Pikachu doesn't, Mega Punch. for people that don't know this but sometimes you nmeed to make some of your pokemon to elvove to mlearn new moves.

Hello,
I wanted to say that this game is cool, but if you don't have red or blue don't get yellow 'till you do. Red and blue have the same pokemon and almost the same features, but are a little more fun to play and more simplistic.
This game is unique

This is the first Pokemon game I have ever played, and I still think it's fun. It's also very unique. It's unique in that you start out with Pikachu and get all three starters. In the beginning Gary steals Eevee, but that doesn't really matter since you get Eevee later on in Celadon anyway.
Pikachu fans will love this game, since Pikachu talks to you. This is the first game ever to have the concept of Pokemon tameness. For Pikachu haters, they will still like this game because you get the other three starters and the graphics are a smidge better than Red and Blue (the Pokemon and trainer sprites were changed a little, and there's more color), and it's not like you HAVE to train Pikachu. There's also a surfing mini-game, but I personally have never played it.
The game isn't hard, either. It's actually pretty easy; even Brock is easy to beat. Just train up a Butterfree so you can use Confusion. There's also the Nidorans with Double Kick (level 12) and Mankey with Low Kick (level 9). Anyway, it's lots of fun.
Very, very good

I enjoy this game a lot, especially because you eventually get Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur. Plus, you start out with Pikachu! But, Pikachu seems to get weaker as you go along. Look at my chart: Level 5-10: Excellent. Keep using this powerful monster. Level 11-20: Very good. Pikachu is still strong. Level 21-30: Good. Your yellow creature is starting to lose it. Level 31-40: Fair. By now, Pikachu shouldn't be your best. Level 41-50: Critical. I reccomend depositing. Level 51-60: Bad. I highly reccomend depositing. Level 61-70: Terrible. Get better Pokemon if you still have Pika. Level 71-100: Totally Rotten: You're crazy if you trainded him this high. Another bad thing is you can't evolve Pikachu, but at least you can deposit him. If you follow my chart and raise your Pokemon carefully, you've got it made! If you don't...too bad for you. Good luck on your yellow version, trainers!
Waste of time and money

this game is a waste of your time and money. There only only * to buy this game:
1# You get a Pikachu immediately, and don't have to catch one
2# In the game you recieve a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, and a Squirtel. In the Blue/Red verisons, you have to decide between them.
3# This follows the idea of the TV show.
Those are the other reasons why you should buy Pokemon Yellow. Buy Crystal imstead.
Pokemon rocks

You like Pokemon Blue and Red? Well try yellow. Especially on gameboy color where during the battle the pokemon's colors are awsome almost full color! It has lots of new stuff like battling jessie,james, and meowth. (Team Rocket) and pikachu follows you around just like in the show. If you have pokemon stadium you can get surfing pikachu and go surf in fucia city. This game is the best Game Boy you can get now.
Nothing but Hype

Hype, hype, and more hype. I was excited when i heard that Pokemon yellow was coming to stores, so i rushed to get it. But was it really worth the rush? A strong part of me says NO. How much different is Yellow from the originals? Not much at all. You start the game with Pikachu. He follows you around on the screen everywhere you go. OK, so thats fine. The moods of Pikachu are cute for a little while, but they just seem to annoy you eventually. Team Rocket (Jesse and James fr. the TV show) are all over the place. I thought that was pretty neat, but that is about it. For the exception of Pikachu, there are no new moves to learn and no new pokemon. It just a repeat of the first two versions, only following the story line from the cartoon. I never bothered to finish the game...Why do it 3 times??
Just one good game

I would have made it one star exept for one thing, You can get Bulbusaur,Charmander and Squirtle. The worst thing. You can't get a good start. I mean for example, You have to beat brock with Pikachu?!? And it would take forever to train the pokemon in the grass. So i am warning you do not get this game!!!!! Get gold version much better.
VERY CHALLENGING! Red and Blue was better
