Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition

THE BAD:
Pikachu couldn't evolve, and I felt guilty whenever I didn't have him on my team. Without him following you, the game is a little bit worse. After the game it was very boring, there wasn't much to do besides keep challenging the Elite Four. Leveling up was extremely tedious, because it was hard to keep up with all the other trainers and gym leaders. I would have liked it more if they would have given more wild Pokemon that were good sooner in the game, and more water types. Fire types were also hard to come by, and took a lot of looking. The Special Attack and Special Def...

THE BAD:
-Pikachu doesn't really do anything useful when following you
-Pikachu is the only Pokemon you can have follow you

SUMMARY:
The Pokemon Series Franchise started out with Pokemon Red and Blue in the late 1990's. Since then, there's been Pokemon Yellow, and also this Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition. The differences aren't really significant enough to mention, so let's stick to Pokemon Yellow in general.

Graphics 9/10

Ok, looking at this review now, in 2008, you might call me crazy to give the graphics a 9 out of 10. Well It's only fair to rate the game based on it's time, they didn't have the kind of technology they have now. So anyways, Pokemon Ye...

THE BAD:
Can get boring after long periods of time.
Some Pokemons' cries sound very, very annoying.

SUMMARY:
Lastability: 8/10.
GOTTA CATCH EM ALL, GOTTA CATCH EM ALL! GOTTA CATCH EM ALL, GOTTA CATCH EM ALL! However this gets tiring and boring after some time.
Graphics: 10/10.
As good as Pokemon Red looked, with some color, everything just feels much better to look at! Plus, the Pokemon sprites are no longer freaky (not even Golbat...). The overall graphics look mighty impressive.
Sound: 8/10.
It's catchy and it's not annoying (or isn't too annoying by today's standards). What more could you ask for? Some of the Pokemon battle cries are quite annoying though, and at 8-bit quality, it really shows. It's more improved at 16-bit (and eventually 32-bit, aka the DS) quality, but man is 8-bi...

THE BAD:
The Towns aren't as big as they really should be.

SUMMARY:
This game is unlike blue/red is much more like the cartoon series.
jessie and james are involved and nurse joy has her uniform and her chansey.
the game starts out with ash getting pikachu, unlike blue/red which you have a choice. though this is quite annoying because pikachu is very bad against the first gym leader brock, it means you can get all 3 starter pokemon later in the game.

The graphics have inproved alot, and they have even added sound to the cries of Pokemon when they faint!

The Towns aren't as big as they really should be.

Please, if you get this game, don't stop playing!

It r0xx0rs our s0xx0rs!

THE BAD:
graphics

SUMMARY:
great game, for little kiddies. plot a bit short though. battle and trade with your friends. battle trainers to be the top trainer in the world. catch all the pokemon to be the pokemon master. you can print your pokemon off with a pokemon printer. dodgy graphics, sound quality very poor. but great game, a but old now. i suggest to but the leaf green and fire red the improved game and with added features.

THE BAD:
pikachu cant evolve

SUMMARY:
this game is unlike blue/red is much more like the cartoon series.
jessie and james are involved and nurse joy has her uniform and her chansey.
the game starts out with ash getting pikachu, unlike blue/red which you have a choice. though this is quite annoying because pikachu is very bad against the first gym leader brock, it means you can get all 3 starter pokemon later in the game.
apart from that the game is just like blue or red, though there are little differences like trainers ask for different pokemon in trades and houses have different characters in them.
the game also has some good pokemon that you cant get, like jynx or electrabuzz. this is just like the other games because you will find in all the games you need other games to get all the pokemon.
you can still get mewtwo and all the l...
