Before, Pokemon Red/Blue were the only Pokemon games for the GameBoy, but now, there is a whole new Pokemon game! This game is the same game as Pokemon Red/Blue, but with more exciting features than before! Instead of starting with Charmander, the Fire Type lizard starter Pokemon, Bulbasaur, the Grass Type toad Pokemon and Squirtle, the Water Type turtle Pokemon, you now start out with Pikachu!!! You even get to battle Jessie & James from Team Rocket! Like in the show, they have Koffing, Ekans and Meowth (Weezing, Arbok and Meowth later on!). Also, some Gym Leaders now look better too! Brock now has a shirt on, Misty (Misty, the world-famous beauty, is your host! Are you ready, sweetie?) now looks more better with that same dress she had in the TV show, and also, even Gym Leaders now use Pokemon they had in the Pokemon anime! Lt. Surge before used Voltorb, Pikachu and Raichu, but now only an unbeatable Raichu!!! Ash and Gary now look more better now, and your Pikachu even has its anime cry! It also stays outside its ball, and you can even talk to it to see how it feels! If it is feeling bad, you can make it happy by healing it with items like Potions, even though it is at full HP! Pikachu won't even evolve into Raichu, because it hates Thunderstones, like Ash's Pikachu does! Gary now starts with Eevee, which soon evolves into either Jolteon, Flareon or Vaporeon depending on which last battle you win with him and which battle you lose with him.His first Pokemon besides Eevee in the game is Spearow this time, instead of Pidgey (You know why? Pidgeotto belongs to Ash, and Fearow belongs to Gary, like you can see in the anime!). You can still get Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur, and you might be surprised that you can get the three of them together! To get Bulbasaur, beat Misty and make your Pikachu happy! If you have, go to the house where a man trades you a Jynx for a Poliwhirl. Instead there is a girl with many Pokemon. Talk to the girl (Melaine from ''Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village''!) and she will give you Bulbasaur, the toad Pokemon with the bulb on its back standing next to her!Getting Charmander is the easiest, just make Pikachu happy and go north out of Nugget Bridge and talk to the boy (Damion from the episode, ''Charmander The Stray Pokemon''!). Getting Squirtle is easy too, you just have to go to Vermillion City and beat Lt. Surge and talk to Officer Jenny (Have you noticed something? No more stupid nurses or officers, but now, there are Nurse Joys, their Chanseys and Officer Jennies in every town and city!) to get Squirtle. This game is far better than Red/Blue, and more interesting too! Also, if you're a Pikachu fan like me, go buy this game right now before time runs out!
Pikachu Follows you!

This game is packed full of funny faces. From happy, to sad, to angry, to, well, funny. Plus secret minigames (found in Pokemon Stadium) to uncover. If I were you, I'd get this game right away!
The best rpg i've played 4 the game boy

The game is original which makes it interesting but could use some more gadgets.Over all the game rocks and so do the pokemon like Pikachu.
This is trash!

This game horrible! It not worth your money. I waited so long for this game because I like pokemon and I love blue and red. Well they spent almost 2 year making yellow and it's almost the the exact same game! If you played blue or red get them don't get this trash. The only thing that is different is you start out with Pikachu and it follows you around. Also, you can print out your pocket dex and when you fight team rocket there is Jessie and James. Lastly picture of all the pokemon looks better. That's all you get. If you have blue or red. DON'T GET YELLOW! It just waste your money getting the almost exact same game... get Silver or Gold version. It's way better everything inproved and better! So don't waste your money and get a piece of junk it's worthless.
Pikachu! Pika! (translation: Excellent game)

Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition is a great game, especially since it was made on an 8-bit platform. It's relatively easy to play, has some problem solving skills tested, and requires basic reading skills to enjoy the full game. But, Missing No., the "error Pokemon" is deleted, so the 99 items cheat doesn't work, and , as with all versions of Pokemon for Gameboy, does not have all 150 regular Pokemon (Mew is available through cheating or using a gameshark or having a Nintendo technichian install it. And Missing No. was taken out of the game) However, there is a special type of Pikachu in the game: Surfing Pikachu. The only Pikachu that can learn water attacks (Charmander versus Pikachu versus Squirtle anyone?). And Pikachu talks. He really talks. And, not to insult anybody that has only the Red and/or Blue version, the Pokedex pictures are better. Recommended for anybody that likes Pokemon. But the rating is E for everyone (actually 6+) for some reason with the fighting. It shows 0 physical contact in battles. And you can even print Pokemon boxes and Pokedex info. An interesting touch. I printed Pikachu.

I give this game 4 stars because once you have played it awhile, it gets kind of old.But it's fun when you haven't played it fora long time.I think it's pretty cool.
The best Pokemon game yet

I gave this game only 4 stars because it was basically a copy of Pokemon red and blue. It was very good, but all the Pokemon games could be better. I liked it because when you beat the game, you beat it fair, unlike in Pokemon blue and red because in those games you can clone rare candies, masterballs, nuggets, etc.
