I have played this game. In it you select or enter a name. You are then given your first Pokemon from Prof. Oak: a Pikachu. Then you begin your Pokemon journey in which you capture and raise Pokemon, then use them to defeat the various Gym Leaders along the way. Then, finally, you battle the Elite Four. The whole thing takes place in a magical world that kids and grown-ups alike will enjoy!

Pokemon Yellow Rocks!

Pokemon Yellow is my best game yet! It's a challenging game, with 8 awesome gym leaders, your rival, (You can name him in the begining of the game) and Prof.Oak! (who will give you a bulbasaur,charmander,or squirtle at the start) All of this put together makes one mind-blowing game!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the best pokemon versions ever! It's better than red and blue except that in red and blue you can choose between bulbasaur charmander and squirtle. In yellow you have to choose pikachu wich would be a good starters pokemon. Here are 2 hints. 1.If you want to catch a pokemon well first get out a poke ball. Then when the ball is halfway across the screen quickly press the A button rapidly. The ball will catch the pokemon. 2.To evolve your metapod or kakuna keep it in battle and use only harden. Then take it out of battle and you will still get expert points making your kakuna or metapod go to a new level.

...Now i'm back into it and have got yellow again... and this is a true classic. Starting of with pikachu is kinda stupid cause you have to raise a caterpy or a metapod in order to get a butterfree to beat your first gym leader. I've had the game for about 4 days and i play it everyday. Buy it even tough it is old.

It's an okay game

Pokemon Yellow Version is kind of better than Red and Blue Version. It is, however, mainly the same, such as the story, what happens in the game, and what you are to do. The newest things are that Pikachu follows you and that the pictures of the pokemon have changed. I would have given it 5 stars, but the story and options are the same as Red and Blue Version.

Dont buy it if you own Red or Blue!

I would just like to say this is a compete rip-off to get money for PKMN Red and Blue owners. Here is a list of problems:

A. No new Pokemon
B. Just a little tiny bit of easier way to get Pokemon that are rare.
C. Not as much of a challenge as Red or Blue.
D. Pikachu doesnt evolve
E. The game is VERY bad

Throughout its time in Japan and America (not to mention other places), Pokemon has taken the gaming industry by storm. No one thought that these little creatures could be such a market, especially to kids around the world who lead completely different lives. Evidently, though, Pokemon has gained popularity beyond belief, and it continues its legacy with the long anticipated Pokemon Yellow.

Now, for all of those people who are going "What the heck are Pokemon?"- Don't worry, you're not alone. Many people are still catching up, trying to figure out just what is going on with these Japanese monsters. Well, let me give you a brief description: "In Pokemon, you travel around a fantasy land, catching small creatures called Pokemon. These captured creatures are stored in Poke Balls, which are mini-storage facilities. You use your already caught Pokemon to catch more Pokemon, and also to battle rival trainers. Your ultimate goal is to catch all 150 (soon over 250) Pokemon creatures, and train your Pokemon well enough that you can beat every other trainer in the Pokemon battling league." Still confused? I can't really make it too much easier... if you are still wondering what's going on, ask a kid, whether it be your own or just someone's kid you know, and I'd bet they'd be happy to explain it in more detail to you.

Now, to explain this Yellow game, you need to know a little history. You need to know that originally there were only 2 Pokemon games, Titled the "Red" and "Blue" Versions. You could catch most Pokemon in each game, but since the Pokemon you couldn't catch differed in each game, you had to trade with someone who had the other game to get all of the Pokemon. Yellow is the newest of these games. Yellow doesn't provide any new Pokemon to catch (it only has a mix of the Pokemon from Red and Blue), but it does have many differences.

The main difference is that this game is easier (slightly)- it is meant to be a way to introduce Pokemon fans who haven't played the game to it. Many kids have only seen the TV show, so in Pokemon Yellow, the Pokemon and the human characters look much more like they do in the animated series. Also, since Pikachu is so popular among fans, in this version he refuses to be stored in a Poke Ball, and follows you around. (Not to mention the opening scenes, starring Pikachu)

All in all, if you're a parent with kids who don't already have a Pokemon game, but they've been begging you for one, this is a good introduction. However, it they already have the Red and Blue versions, this won't necessarily be of any use. (That is, unless they are die-hard fans, who must have it). If you are a young person looking into buying this game, make sure that you really want it- it might be a waste if you already have the other versions.

Rip-off

I feel that this game is the worst example of a sequel ever created by mankind. First off all you have to start off with pikachu which i think is dumb because you can easily get him when you play the red or blue versions. Also the only reason i gave this a 1 star instead of a -1 star was because the pokedex is improved alot. Also there are no new pokemon. If you are new to the pokemon craze this is the game to buy, but if you are a veteran like me you will want to stay away from this title. Im waiting for gold and silver versions the real sequels.

POKEMON YELLOW is much easyer and harder in the game you get a BULBASAUR,CHARMANDER,and SQUIRTLE. At the start you get a PIKACHU and gary gets a EEVEE.

ok this is one great pokemon game pokemon is the only thing that me and my friends have ever gotten into not this yugioh or digimon pokemon is the best because it has the easiest concept to level up beat the game and catch'em all nbow the pikachu feature i like becasue pikachu is soooooooooo cute but i wish you could play as a because you couldnt do that until crystal and about the mini game its great but very hard to get to play but when you can its totally worth it plus all the pokemon look like they shoud in the show so thats a plus no more missingno. but that was stupid because i never used it anyway and its a cheap way to beat the game but i did use missingno. and pokemon stadium to transfer rare candies from red and blue to yellow so i could win at prime cup and actually get the mini game so yeah its a good game
