A quick cash-in, but it's still fun.,

This review is from: Pokemon - Yellow Version (Game Cartridge)
After the great success of Blue and Red, Nintendo decided to go nuts with their new franchise and put out as much Pokemon merchandise as possible. You can't blame them though- they weren't having much luck with sales from the Nintendo 64, and they had to get money somewhere. One of these clever marketing ploys was this Pikachu version of the game. Really, I wouldn't have played this if it weren't for my little brother stealing one extra copy from his friend so I could try it out. I was into Pokemon when it first came out, just before it became a drug for kids, but I never had any intention to play this version of i t. All I knew was that it followed that 22 minute commercial/show, and you start out with Pikachu as your first Pokemon.Before playing this, I could deal with Pikachu. Now, he is my mortal enemy. EVERY SINGLE TIME you go into a fight with Pikachu, he says his name in a painfully fuzzy manner, just in case you forget which one you selected somehow. For the sake of everything, turn the volume off once the game starts up. The novelty of this wears off before you even get him, as when the title screen appears, he says his name there to remind you that he is Pikachu. Luckily, you can put him away in your storage box and leave him for dead. You can't evolve him into Raichu, so that makes for a weak lightning-type Pokemon even at higher levels. You're better off just trading one of your monsters for someone's Raichu and use him from then on out. The only good thing about getting him early on in the game is so you can have an easier time taking out Misty in the second gym. That's about it. Oh and get this- you need Pikachu in order to get some of the other Pokemon. From certain people, you can get Charmander, Squirtle...but Bulbasaur requires that Pikachu's with you, and "very very happy". No, not in an erotic manner, but he has to be at level 20, and when you talk to him, he has to be jumping up and down twice and waving his arms. If he jumps up and down just once, you can't get Bulbasaur. What a gyp. But I suppose if you really, REALLY like Pikachu, you'll like this. The game follows the show a -little bit- but not that much. Jesse and James pop in like 4-5 times (yes, that's all), when Officer Jenny gives you Squirtle, she mentions how he used to cause trouble, and a few other things are about all you get. The Pokemon and some character sprites are different too, they look much better than they did in Red and Blue. But essentially, you're getting just about the same game. Oh, and you can't get some Pokemon. Though the ones you can't get for some reason are some of the less popular ones, it's kinda weird. I guess they were trying to even out the fact that you can get the 3 main Fire/Water/Grass types just by talking to people instead of trading like in the other two. But c'mon, Weedle isn't in it? That was like the most common one in Red and Blue. Oh well. It's not that big of a deal. For added fun, name Pikachu "Profit" or "Bucky".

Its a pretty good game for the original Gameboy.,

1. If all you have is a gameboy pocket (available from amazon) this is one of the best games you can own. Even on gameboy color, this game is a great adition. I own a GBA SP and yet im still gonna buy blue, yellow, and silver. I was gonna get red, but when yellow finnally became availiable, red went out of stock. Now im getting blue because i dont have a game from that set, and silver to complete that set. But back to the point. The reason i like yellow is not because of the graphics or the sound effects, but i like that he follows you around and enables you to get all 3 starter pokemon too! wow 4/6ths of your team already. Sure, you cant trade to any of the newest versions, but if you trade with g/s and r/b you can get some great teams. So buy it if you want a pretty good game for a low price.
