Pokemon yellow is an interesting game. It is similar to blue and yellow, yet also different. First off, you start off with Pikachu. You have no choice either, you have to go with Pikachu. He also refuses to go in his Poke Ball while he is conscious and follows you along on your journey. Pretty interesting idea. You can talk to Pikachu and see what type of a mood he is in. The game other than that is pretty much the same in that you fight all of the same gym leaders. However some of the gym leaders will have different pokemon than they did in blue and red. Another thing different is that you fight team rocket's Jessie and James in different situations. That is interesting also. If you are hoping to try and do the duplicator code you can forget it. In this game that code does not work. I guess they wanted to make you work to level up your pokemon. So while this is a very similar game to blue and red the pikachu aspect plus a few other differences makes this game one that I recommend playing even if you own blue or red.

Closer to the anime series; still fun to play

This game has a very special place in my heart, since it was given to me by my brother as a birthday gift.
In many ways, the game is very similar to Pokemon Red and Blue, with only a couple of changes in order to be more similar to the anime version: The most notorious change is that not only Pikachu is your main starter, but he also accompanies the player for most of the game, a nice touch which I kinda wish other games had included.
Of course, having Pikachu as your starter could have some trouble, considering the first Gym leader is a Rock type (I still can't remember very well how I defeated Brock this time) so that part of the game could be a bit harder compared to the advantage of having Squirtle or Bulbasaur as your starter; that being said, the game is fun to play and it was nice that for at least one of the games, I was able to have the three main starters on my team.

A remake edition, that is worth playing as good as the originals.

Pokemon Yellow is a remake of Red, Blue and Green and has some new features such as mini games and you can get the original starter Pokemon easily and you get Pikachu as your starter who will talk to you. The graphics are colorized for the Game Boy Color and are as great as ever. This game is amazing like the others originals and is a must play.
9/10 stars.
