Good game I thought some of the graphic's were a little tacky for my taste although the funny part is they say this game is for the original Game Boy but when you play the game the background like houses and the ocean and people the graphics really suck major but when you get into a pokemon battle with another trainer and you see both pokemon their both in crystal clear color which is really weird because this game is suppose to be for the GB not GBC so go figure I just thought that was pretty interesting that only the pokemon would come in color who knows maybe that's why they said on the front "Special Pikachu Edition" on the game boy cartridge but I will admit this game with out a dout in my mind is extremely to long but a very interesting game good for very long road trips defently Oh and remember if your going on a long road trip and you take your GBA SP remember to take the car charger with you for that sort of thing or the easy way take the Original GBA and just buy double AA batteries when you need them I wouldn't really recommend taking the GBA SP on long road trip just because when you plug in the car charger you can't listen to the radio while the car charger is in I found that out the hard way 1 time I plugged in the car charger but then it some how wouldn't let me listen to the radio. So buy this game if you have a roadtrip coming up and you get bored in the car very easily or if you just need something to do or just get bored any where. If you have an extremely short attention span do not get this game you will get bored with it really quickly and then want to trade it in and it is a little bit of a frustrating game at times so if you can't take frustration don't get this game either. I would recommend this game for anyone 10 years of age or older.

A good continuation of this never ending series.

This game is essentially pokemon red or blue with the graphics updated a little. So I won't bore you with talking about the core game play. However, I will talk to you about what makes this game different than red or blue, therefore allowing it to receive high marks. This version makes the game a lot more like the show. Your starting pokemon is pikachu, but this time he/she follows you around on foot instead of in a pokeball. You can see it on screen following your every move. They also incorporated new features around this like checking your pikachu's happiness/loyalty. Sometimes pikachu is a bit annoying, but that can be expected. In the end this addition adds more to the game play than you would think. Great game, but more of a expansion pack than a sequel.

Great Pokemon Game

I am old school when it comes to Pokemon and this is one of the best of the original three games. The controls and goal are the same as in Red and Blue with a few new features such as Pikachu following you and being able to check its mood and the introduction of Team Rocket's Jesse and James.

it is fine

I have this game it's fine but really hard i am a pokemon fan and it is fine but really unique and different and it is really hard i have to say i have not beat it in 3 YEARS but i guess i am a bad video game player.O MAN.

Watching Pikachu following you throughout is priceless in itself. 4.1 stars.

The graphics are piss-poor but the game play and music rarely get better.

Bulbasaur is better than any other starter ever and always will be. Charmander was cute but not as cool. And Squirtle as adorable as he was was way too slow.

The madness never stopped in my house once me and my bro (22 and 16 now) got these into our grubby paws. We did next to no trading, but tons of gaming.

33 Pokemon that are in this title are:

Bulbasaur, Meowth, Persian, Starmie, Dragonair, Koffing, Weezing, Ekans, Arbok, Seel, Dewgong, Zapdos, Geodude, Graveler, Golem, Vulpix, Vileplume, Articuno, Electabuzz, Ponyta, Gloom, Tangela, Lickitung, Mewtwo, Chansey, Taurus, Jynx, Oddish, Golbat, Horsea, Dragonite, Diglett and Magmar.

It's only better because Pikachu follows you everywhere, has a feelings meter and can surf if you know how to access it. Also, an extra point because Team Rocket unsuccessfully crashes your party. Priceless, really. And *JUST* like the anime. =^)

Game play : A-
Sound : B-
Originality : D- (bit off of Blue and Red's style like Woah. The only thing remotely original was the fact that your yellow, adorable Pikachu followed you and he surfed.

And remember the 3 starters from Blue/Red (Bulba, Charm and Squirt? If you play your cards right you can have them all, helping create a wonderous team to be reckoned with! Also Team Rocket tried and failed each time to ambush your journey throughout Kanto!

4.1 stars.

My daughter has loved pokemon since she was about 2 years old (she's 9 now) and this was one of her first pokemon games. You have pickachu followyou around, get used to you, you can battle, trade, catch new pokemon, and explore. I recommend this game a lot for someones first pokemon game.

Pika!

My grandma had bought me the Japanese version.. I got along with it just fine until I met Brock. Being roughly eight I had no patience to work with it, so I gave up and waited for the US release (which I later found out didn't have Mew!) and loved it. Despite the fact Pikachu isn't at all that powerful, I kept him with me the entire time and even got him to learn surf! Definitely worth the buy. It's fun, it's much more simple, and if you're an old fan it'll be all the better.

Despite the many years I've played Pokemon, through all the versions I've bought, I am now 19 and Yellow is still by far the best one I've played simply for its simplicity. It gave more of a challenge than the newer Pokemon games. And I definately reccomend it to all new and old fans who haven't played it yet.

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.

YAYYYYYY

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
