Product Description:
Nintendo Gameboy. Pokemon Special Pikachu EDITION.
Editorial Review:
While it's basically the same game as the previously released Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue,Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition features enhancements thatmake it the best version yet. In all three versions, the player is on a quest tobecome the World's Greatest Pokémon Trainer, with exploration andPokémon battles (think advanced paper-scissors-rock) factoring heavilyinto the gameplay. While the game world is the same in all three versions, thePokémon you encounter vary from version to version; the underlying goalof collecting all 151 Pokémon can only be met by trading Pokémonvia Link Cable with anotherplayer with a different Pokémon version. (Players can also battle againstone another using the Link Cable setup.)
Pokémon Yellow follows the TV cartoon series more closely than theother versions. Your first Pokémon in Yellow is Pikachu, and hetravels alongside you as opposed to inside a Pokéball (like mostPokémon). Pikachu's mood can be displayed virtual pet style: keepinghim happy is important, as his mood affects certain events in the game. Inaddition to the inclusion of other TV show elements like Team Rocket, new battlemodes between players are available as well as a secret game called Pikachu'sBeach.
If you haven't played any of the Pokémon games before,Pokémon Yellow is the best place to start. But whilePokémaniacs will go gaga over Yellow's new features, lessenthusiastic veterans of Red and Blue may not find the extras tobe quite so special. --Joe Hon

My son loves Pokemon and had to have the one with Pikachu in it. I think he's going to end up with all of the versions for his GBA SP.

- Shocking Results
Special Pikachu addition of pokemon that came out way before gameboy color hit the shelves. Plays just as the original gameboy games, however unlike other reviews there is is something missing.
Remember that special "pikachu surfing" event? Well you can't get that ingame. That's right, meaning you would have to call nintendo and take it up to them for them to "install" the hardware into the game! What a money-milker. Very disappointing as a child, as I have wanted to play that game specifically ... Read More
