Pokemon Yellow (Special Pikachu Edition)
Pokemon Yellow (Special Pikachu Edition) is a remake of the original Blue and Red versions of Pokemon, with some additional features. For one thing, Pikachu in the Yellow version is a major character: players get Pikachu as their first Pokemon, and can get the three "starter" Pokemon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle) from Red and Blue. For another, the game includes some story elements from the animated series.
Many of the graphics for the Pokemon and trainers were redone to look more like in the TV series. Also, Pikachu turns out not to like its Pokeball, so it follows you as you walk. You can check its mood by facing Pikachu and pressing A.
Gary (your rival) starts out with Eevee. Its evolved form later on is determined by whether you win or lose against him:
- Lose in first battle: Vaporeon
- Win Route 24 battle: Jolteon
- Lose or miss Route 24 battle: Flareon
There is a mini-game called Surfing Pikachu, which you can play after getting Surf on Pikachu.
Players can print Pokedex pages and the stats for any Pokemon with the Gameboy Printer.
For Pokémon Yellow only is the Coliseum 2. This allows 2 players to battle it out with certain limitations and rules. There are 3 modes to the Coliseum 2: Petit Cup, Poké Cup, and Pika Cup. Each has its own unique rules and regulations to abide by.
