"Pikachu!", 24 May 2009
9/10
Author: jerekra from United States

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.
