Some Parts A Little Disapointing, On The Whole Very Fun

This is the first Game Boy game I bought and it is one of my favorites. You might think that when you beat the Elite Four, there's nothing left to do. Not true! Chances are you will have a huge selection of un-evolved Pokemon that you can work with to expand your Poke-dex (an electronic encylopedia of Pokemon data) to improve your game rating. Although the pace of the game is a little slower once you have beaten all the Gym Leaders, it is still fun to train new Pokemon and watch them evolve. And now to the disapointing aspects of the game: 1) You can't be a girl. Although you are told you are 'Ash Ketchum' you can re-name your character, but you can't change his gender. 2) Pikachu won't evolve, and as far as I know, you can't catch wild Pikachu on this version. You will have to trade with another version for an evolve-able Pikachu. 3) Although you can get Bulbasaur, Squirtle AND Charmander (unlike the other versions) you only get one Eevee (a Pokemon that can evolve in three different options). All in all it is a very fun game. Another fun option is that you can nickname your captured Pokemon. I nicknamed my Machop Atlas, and my Seaking Neptune. I would not recommend it for children who can't read.

Good, but not perfect.

Pokemon Yellow is basically the same game as Red and Blue. Starting with Pikachu makes the game more difficult, especially at the start. Considering that Pikachu is not a very strong Pokemon, and that you can catch him early on in the older games (look in Viridian Forest), I don't think this is a very useful feature. It could appeal to younger kids who like Pikachu from the cartoons, I suppose. You can catch all three of the starting Pokemon from Red and Blue in this game, but there are better pokemon out there. If you are going for all 150, I guess this would be the game to get, though. Once you defeat the first gym leader, the game is actually slightly easier than Red and Blue.

In conclusion, I really don't think Yellow is worth it for experienced Pokemon fans. If you are just starting out, however, you might want to consider it.

A good game to play with Pikachu

I am a big fan with pokemon. I own the red, blue, and yellow versions. But this is one of the best games I ever played. It is sometimes a drag when you see Pikachu following you but other than that it is a good game. I have fun battling with my friends. Sometimes I win and sometimes I don't win. I think this game can be educational because it teaches kids how to use maps and what other kids would do to buy things at the PokeMart. I think that the pictures of the pokemon look better than the pictures in Red and Blue. It's sad that you can't do the MissingNo. trick in the Yellow Version, but that's the way it is. You can't cheat all of the time you know.

The game gets pretty long and boring sometimes when you've captured Mewtwo and beaten the Pokemon League, but that's the way it is. Since in my Red and Blue versions have the MissingNo. trick, I always use rare candies on my Pokemon than trying to train them. But as I said before you can't do the trick in the Yellow Version because MissingNo. has been deleted.

This is all of the information I have, but if you want some more information go to www.pojo.com. They got a lot more information there.

Have fun with your game!!

Da Bomb!!!

Person who wrote "DAMN! THIS GAME IS SO OLD WHY WOULD U GET IT? SURE PIKACHU IS NICE BUT AFTER A WHILE, the graphics are soooooooooooooooo bad, get crystal! SAVE UR TIME! MAN I DONT EVEN GIVE IT ONE STAR! ITE NOW IT BE THER COLLECTING DUST!"
You are totally wrong! Even if it is old it is better than stupid Crystal. So get this game. This was the first game I got for my Gameboy SP and I did not regret it. This game is the best and much less confusing than that stupid Crystal, Silver and Gold. You get Pikachu and that is cool enough. For those that can't find Zapdos, (it was hard for me to find him too), you need surf, (in the Safari Zone) and it is over the water after Ceralean,(I think). THis game is Da Bomb!!!

Yellow Version

What makes this game slightly more fun than Pok'emon Blue, and Red versions, is that not only does your Pikachu follow you around OUTSIDE of its Poke ball, but you can get Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle without having to trade with your friends! Most people are into the newer Pok'emon games now, but I personally think the older Pok'emon games are much easier, especially because there are WAY less Pok'emon to catch.

Overall, I'd say this is a very good game.

Good game but gets boring fast

When I first got this game I thought it was the best game ever, but after you beat it 2 or 3 times it gets very boring. If you want a game that will keep your attention I suggest Dragon Warrior Monsters, but if you're completely set on Pokemon then go with yellow version, It has better color than red or blue versions.

I enjoyed this game enough to give it five stars. On vacations I can't get enough of it. I can wear out the batteries in under two hours playing this great game for everyone. If Pokemon Red, Yellow, and Blue are good, Silver and Gold have to be GREAT!

Pretty good but...

Pokeomon Yellow is really good; Pikachu is stronger than in other Pokemon versions. One problem is that it can be hard for kids who cannot read yet. It would also help if the screen was brighter.
