Video Games : Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition

Rating:

- Pokemon Yellow
The world from the TV cartoon is back in this "new" installment of Pokemon for Gameboy. You, Ash, must go out there and win against other trainers, Gym Leaders, and the evil orginisation, Team Rocket, to become the #1 champion of the world, and if you collect all 150 (151 with Mew) Pokemon, you'll receive a special prize form Prof Oak! Between the Red/Blue and Yellow games, I'd say this is the best one. It's the only one where you can get all three starter Pokemon, and is more truthful to the TV show, although certain Pokmeon can't be caught here, so you have to trade and evolve Pokemon to fill upthat Pokedex!

- Pika Pika!!
This was the first game I brought for my gameboy and I am so glad that I did! This is by far the best pokemon game yet, inculding the new ones. Although pokemon crystal, ruby etc have been upgraded slightly they don't put pokemon yellow to shame. Pokemon yellow allows you to have a pikachu from the start (yay!) and to collect all three starter pokemon (double yay!). There is also a little secret tucked away into the game....there are 151 pokemon to collect ( meaning you can't stop after you've caught Mewtwo)!! Buy this game and good luck with it!!!!

- Poke'tastic!
A brilliant game for that all age groups can enjoy. Though the storyline can get a little sad at times (you must fulfill your destiny to become a poke'mon master), it's a good game that is easy to learn, and near impossible to master. You are Ash Ketchum, a 10 year old boy whos dream is to conquer the 4 champions of the Poke'mon Leauge and become the World Poke'mon Champion of all time! Unlike the other two 'primary games' (poke'mons red and blue) you don't choose between the three basic poke'mon of the three basic elements (grass, fire, water, or bulbasaur, charmander and squirtle, if you follow), but never fear, for you now have the poke'mon that Ash origionally started with in the cartoon series, Pikachu. This is no ordinary pikachu, though, it refuses to evolve or get into a poke'ball, so when you're walking around the screen, you see Pikachu following you, and you can 'talk' to him and find out how he's feeling. From then on you're out on your own with pikachu, looking for other poke'mon to catch in this simply HUGE world that you're in! Along your way, you meet characters from the TV show, and battle gym leaders for different badges each with different magical powers! This is the best of the many poke'mon gameboy versions available, and I'm talking from experience. It's also easier than the red or blue versions because you start off with a potentially very powerful poke'mon. I hope the review helps you make up your mind and that you buy this game, because it'll last you a long time. Thanks.

- pokemon yellow rocks!
This game is brilliant!It is so much better than the other versions, as i have tried them.the graphics are good as well.You can`t do the rare candy cheat,or any of the others ,but that isn`t a down side.Pikachu can be amazing,and you get all three starters.
Get this and crystal version.

- Pokemon Yellow - loads of new features in it
People may say that pokemon yellow is just another pokemon red or blue pokemon game. Well, it isn't but in fact millions of times better. You now have a pikachu following you right from the beggining of the game. You can turn to him to see how he feels. He can be happy, sleepy, excited, confused, amazed and several other things. In this new game you can get all of the starting pokemon, (from red and blue) Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle unlike in the other games when you could only get one. Pokemon's abilities have changed and now they have different attacks at different levels. Within in this game you can play a cute mini game where Pikachu surfs. Like in the television show Jesse games and Meowth are in this game. If you have a gameboy printer you can now print your pokemon off to prove you have that pokemon or for what ever reason. A lot of other trainers in the game have new pokemon. You can now play several different battling game with friends using a link cable aswell as trading pokemon. The pokemon's pictures have changed and improved. There are several other improvments, quite a lot of small ones such as a Chansey being behind the counter at the Pokemon Centre, Officer Jenny actually looking like Officer Jenny and the game is now yellow if it is on a Gameboy Colour. Pokemon Special Pikachu Edition, Yellow Version is compatible with Gameboy Classic/pocket, Gameboy Colour and link cables and printers can also be used. This game is very good and contains a lot of new features.
