A Large Disappointment

Pokemon Yellow is a sad disappointment. Very little is added, other than Pikachu follows you around. The Japanese version is far better. Much worse, Gold and Silver were released several months ago (and are far better, I know, I have them). This is a game to wait on. Gold and Silver feature a twice as large map and dozens more Pokemon. Alas, I don't speak Japanese so the game is a little hard for me.

Pokemon blue, red, and yellow are almost the same. Except mybe blue version has 1 or 2 more pokèmon than red, or vice-versa, but yellow, u can tell the difference. Number one-- there's actually a little bit of color when u play it on Game Boy Color system. Number two-- Pikachu follows u around the stages instead of carrying him in a pokèball.Number three-- Pikachu says his name instead of doing all those annoying noises, but all the other pokèmon still do though. Also, drawings of the pokèmon get better also.

Pokemon Crystal is the best. Altough you can get Lugia easy you have to get all the legendary dogs if you want Ho-OH. There are a lot of things that Crystal has that Silver and Gold don't. Some are: you can get Suicine a whole lot easier, Battle tower.
Get Dana Lass's, Alan Schoolboy's, Tully Fisher's, and Gina Pickiner's phone numbers and you can get all the evolution stones you'll need.

This game is essentially pokemon red or blue with the graphics updated a little. So I won't bore you with talking about the core game play. However, I will talk to you about what makes this game different than red or blue, therefore allowing it to receive high marks. This version makes the game a lot more like the show. Your starting pokemon is pikachu, but this time he/she follows you around on foot instead of in a pokeball. You can see it on screen following your every move. They also incorporated new features around this like checking your pikachu's happiness/loyalty. Sometimes pikachu is a bit annoying, but that can be expected. In the end this addition adds more to the game play than you would think. Great game, but more of a expansion pack than a sequel.
Great Pokemon Game

I am old school when it comes to Pokemon and this is one of the best of the original three games. The controls and goal are the same as in Red and Blue with a few new features such as Pikachu following you and being able to check its mood and the introduction of Team Rocket's Jesse and James.
it is fine

The graphics are piss-poor but the game play and music rarely get better.
Bulbasaur is better than any other starter ever and always will be. Charmander was cute but not as cool. And Squirtle as adorable as he was was way too slow.
The madness never stopped in my house once me and my bro (22 and 16 now) got these into our grubby paws. We did next to no trading, but tons of gaming.
33 Pokemon that are in this title are:
Bulbasaur, Meowth, Persian, Starmie, Dragonair, Koffing, Weezing, Ekans, Arbok, Seel, Dewgong, Zapdos, Geodude, Graveler, Golem, Vulpix, Vileplume, Articuno, Electabuzz, Ponyta, Gloom, Tangela, Lickitung, Mewtwo, Chansey, Taurus, Jynx, Oddish, Golbat, Horsea, Dragonite, Diglett and Magmar.
It's only better because Pikachu follows you everywhere, has a feelings meter and can surf if you know how to access it. Also, an extra point because Team Rocket unsuccessfully crashes your party. Priceless, really. And *JUST* like the anime. =^)
Game play : A-
Sound : B-
Originality : D- (bit off of Blue and Red's style like Woah. The only thing remotely original was the fact that your yellow, adorable Pikachu followed you and he surfed.
And remember the 3 starters from Blue/Red (Bulba, Charm and Squirt? If you play your cards right you can have them all, helping create a wonderous team to be reckoned with! Also Team Rocket tried and failed each time to ambush your journey throughout Kanto!
Story: C-
Trading : A-
Fun : A
Replay : A++
Overall : B-
4.1 stars.
A Wonderful Game!

For whoever it was that asked about the difference between the colors, Red, Blue, and Yellow are exactly the same except that some Pokemon are available only in whichever version you get. Gold and Silver are completely different adventures, and they also have no differences except for the Pokemon. Crystal is the same as Gold and Silver except BETTER! :) Ruby, Sapphire, and, I suppose, Emerald have the same rule.
As for my review for this game, it's excellent! Even at my age, I have fun playing all the Pokemon games, especially this game, and I must tell you, it never gets boring! Every game is different, and each time you discover something new! I highly recommend this game, and the others!
