Pokemon Yellow - Special Pikachu Edition (GB)

For a Game Boy Classic cartridge, this is not a bad little game. I have never owned this, but I have borrowed it long-term before and I can safely say it is more enjoyable than the Red and Blue versions with Pikachu following you around and an extra surf game on the beach somewhere. When compared with the later Pokémon games, it's not brilliant, but when you have played on the later versions, it has a nice back-to-basics feel with only the original 150 (151) Pokémon. When played on a colour console, it shows in colour, unlike the Red and Blue versions which show in red and blue respectively. The game starts off in Pallet Town, just like ...  Read the complete review

I would like to start off this review by saying that I am reviewing this with the intention of reviewing this game as a game and not considering the fact that the Blue and Red versions exist. I would also like to initially warn that if you are an owner of the Red/Blue versions of 'Pokémon' then there is really no need to buy this although this is the best version of the initial adventure. So....Pokémon, eh. I bet there isn't a single soul in the developed world that hasn't heard of Pokémon or Pikachu. It started out about a decade ago in deepest Tokyo, Japan where Nintendo developers intended to create a game that would be something of an ...  Read the complete review

My stepdaughter was lucky enough to receive a Game Boy Color for Xmas and equally lucky, for me rather than her, she received the Pokemon Yellow Pikachu Edition Game. I say lucky for me because I now have the opportunity to review my first ever game on the Game Boy Color on Dooyoo. Writing a review on an alien machine after playing so many games for so long on the PC and Playstation is rather tricky, especially concerning graphics and sound, so please bear with me! Pokemon Yellow Pikachu Edition game for the Game Boy Colo(U)r is a role playing adventure game set in the fabulous world of Pokemon. The object of the game is to become a Pokemon trainer and enter the ...  Read the complete review

Pokémon Yellow was my first Pokémon game. At first I wasn't interested in the series but as an RPG fan and the fact that people were overly obsessed with it as a kid in the 90s, it wasn't long until I took interest. Pokémon Yellow improves upon Red and Blue by giving you a new popular starter - Pikachu. Its the birth of the happiness system. Pikachu's mood changes based on how you treat him. Healing him and so on makes him happy and he has different reactions based on where you are. The game prohibits you from evolving it though unless its traded elsewhere. One cool feature is how they allow you to also collect the 3 starters in game whereas in ...  Read the complete review

Released in Europe on June 16th 2000, Pokémon Yellow is successful sequel to the Pokemon Blue and Red versions. However, unlike Pokemon Blue and Red which were the start of the Pokemon franchise and inspired the future series, Pokemon Yellow was inspired by the series. So anyone familiar with the original generation of the Pokemon series will understand what I mean. You will be able to pick up that many of the characters and Pokemon have changed there appearance to match the animation and most notably that you, like Ash Ketchum; start off with a Pikachu that follows you around. Unlike the other Pokemon games you do not have the option of choosing your starter ...  Read the complete review
