Item Description

What if Pikachu were your partner instead of a starter you picked from a lab table? Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition answered the question every kid watching the anime was asking. Professor Oak hands you a Pikachu at the start of the journey, and it follows you across the overworld, trotting along behind your trainer. Turn around and talk to it and a little portrait shows how it feels about you, a mood that rises and falls with how you treat it. Offer it a Thunder Stone and it flatly refuses to evolve.

Game Freak reshaped Red and Blue's Kanto adventure to follow the show more closely. Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle can all still join your team, given to you by characters in Cerulean City, on Route 24 and by Officer Jenny in Vermilion City, much as Ash collected them on TV. Jessie and James turn up with Meowth to cause trouble for Team Rocket, many Pokémon sprites were redrawn to look closer to their anime designs, and Pikachu even speaks in clips of Ikue Ohtani, its voice actress from the show.

Yellow squeezes a little more out of the hardware than its predecessors, too. On a Game Boy Color it shows richer color palettes, it works with the Game Boy Printer for printing Pokédex entries, and its Pikachu's Beach surfing minigame could be unlocked by bringing over a Surfing Pikachu from Pokémon Stadium on the Nintendo 64. The core journey is the one fans remember: eight Gyms, the Elite Four, the Rocket Hideout and Silph Co., and 151 Pokémon to track down by catching, evolving and trading with Red and Blue.

For a lot of players, Yellow is the version of Kanto that felt the most alive, a world where your first partner had a personality instead of just a stat line. It is the Generation I game closest to the spirit of the anime, and the origin of the walking-partner idea that HeartGold, SoulSilver and Let's Go, Pikachu! would bring back years later.

About the game

Pokémon Yellow is an enhanced version of Pokémon Red and Blue that allows you to start the game with your very own Pikachu following you around on-foot and collect the 3 other starters from strangers you meet around the region. However, your goal remains the same: catch them all and become the ultimate Pokémon Master.
