Product Description
Nintendo Gameboy. Pokemon Special Pikachu EDITION.
Editorial Review
While it's basically the same game as the previously released iPokémon Red/i and iPokémon Blue/i, iPokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition/i features enhancements that make it the best version yet. In all three versions, the player is on a quest to become the World's Greatest Pokémon Trainer, with exploration and Pokémon battles (think advanced paper-scissors-rock) factoring heavily into the gameplay. While the game world is the same in all three versions, the Pokémon you encounter vary from version to version; the underlying goal of collecting all 151 Pokémon can only be met by trading Pokémon via Link Cable with another player with a different Pokémon version. (Players can also battle against one another using the Link Cable setup.)p iPokémon Yellow/i follows the TV cartoon series more closely than the other versions. Your first Pokémon in iYellow/i is Pikachu, and he travels alongside you as opposed to inside a Pokéball (like most Pokémon). Pikachu's mood can be displayed virtual pet style: keeping him happy is important, as his mood affects certain events in the game. In addition to the inclusion of other TV show elements like Team Rocket, new battle modes between players are available as well as a secret game called Pikachu's Beach.p If you haven't played any of the iPokémon/i games before, iPokémon Yellow/i is the best place to start. But while Pokémaniacs will go gaga over iYellow/i's new features, less enthusiastic veterans of iRed/i and iBlue/i may not find the extras to be quite so special. i--Joe Hon/ip bPros:/bbr ul liBest version yet of the highly addictive iPokémon/i game liPikachu's moods raise the game's cuteness bar to an all-new level liFeatures new battle modes between players liIncludes Pikachu's Beach secret game /ul bCons:/bbr ul liPokémon battles can be repetitive at times liNew features may not be enough for some Pokémon veterans /ul

 Ohh the originals :] May 24, 2010
Paul Wayne Davis
There's nothing like the original games (in America anyways) and none of them are as memorable as the third and lovable Pokemon Yellow :] I love having little Pikachu walk around with me and the ability to get all the starters (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle). Improved sprites are a big plus for me although I wish they re-did the back sprites too! Oh well.
br /Definitely worth buying.

Where do I begin?
br /Pokemon Yellow was my introduction to the world of pokemon and I LOVED it. It is similar to the first two games but the idea of being followed around by a pikachu lets face it is adorable! When I was younger I watched the cartoon and by making this game similar to the cartoon made me want to play more, in short, I wanted to be Ash. The game offers different screen colours while pokemon red and blue only offered the one. You also have a chance to get the 3 starting pokemon of red and blue which I found fantastic! I enjoyed yellow for its little quirks and the addictive gameplay they just don't make pokemon games like it anymore it got me hooked to pokemon and I enjoyed how it was a little bit more difficult than the first games. Buy it and you will love it!
THE BEST CLASSIC POKEMON GAME EVER May 5, 2010
R. L. Kamack (usa)
This game is just like the first episodes of the tv show, pikachu follows you around just like in the cartoon you get to see brock and misty they dont follow you but you still got pikachu.Everything is there Pallet Town,Professor Oak and your rival Gary plus Team roket is there jessie james and meowth, there is not another pokemon game like this out there The new one's may be cool and better and there are but this game is strait from the cartoon if they ever remake it that would be cool.
Forget That This Is Pokemon - Best Gameboy Game Ever? February 27, 2010
CHEWIE
Pokemon has a horrible reputation. The TV show is filled with anoying voices and drives anyone out of the 5th grade mad. When it reached its peak you couldn't go anywhere without seeing Pokemon and little kids wanting to get all of the collecting cards even though no one really played with them. Despite this I have to admit that I love this classic game. When I was little I bought some other Pokemon games (I don't buy them now) but nothing tops this one.

br /The good side to "Pokemon: Special Pikachu Edition" is that it is a really adicting game. Even after you finish you'll want to replay it a different way. There are endless possibilities. The game's plot is smart and you travel to endless places. Also, the game has heart. You can't help but love Pikachu and some of the charactors. This game follows very close to the old cartoon so fans will like that.
br /
br /The bad side is that some things haven't aged well. While I personally find it charming and cute some people might get annoyed by the background music. Sometimes you may get sick of battling trainers over and over again. Another thing is that the animation isn't that great but guess what? I actually like it that way. It brings back good memories.
br /
br /In conclusion, this is one of my all time favorite video games and by far the best Gameboy game I've ever gotten. While I'm not a Pokemon fan like I use to be I'll still admit that I like to play this. I'd highly reccomed this along with "Pokemon: Silver and Gold" which almost reaches "Yellow"'s brilliance.
