Memory Lane time!
When I was a much younger Goddess, I ended up getting in serious trouble, they took my TV, SNES and N64 away and my Gameboy for doing a bad in school. A couple months later, it was Halloween. I was dressed as a Power Ranger, walking to house to house to get that good ol' candy (back when Halloween was a huge event and get candy by the pound, lol).
I got to a certain house and the couple came out and said that I was the 100th trick or treater, and they gave me a box in my bag. What was it that they gave me? It was the Special Pikachu Edition Gameboy with Pokemon Yellow. That system was awesome, being blue and yellow and having a Pikachu graphic on the corners of the screen. It's one of the more fond memories I have of my childhood.
With that being said, reviewing Yellow ends up with me being a little nostalgic for it. It's basically Pokemon Blue but with some elements of the Anime. Your starter being Pikachu was, for me, awesome. He followed you around and you can even check how he feels, and he talks in this! And Team Rocket's Jessie and James were also in this game, and i loved that as well. Other than that it's that classic Pokemon game that you know and love.
Gameplay is still solid but very basic in the modern times. The difficulty could range here and there but as long as yo fight every trainer you come across it shouldn't be too hard. The music will always be the major highlight here, some of the best video game songs in general stem from the 1st generation. Even the graphics are pretty good for the time, and since it's on Gameboy, the colors of the towns change as you walk through them, it was pretty novel at the time for me.
It's a basic Pokemon game that has Pikachu up front and center for everyone to see, and that's okay. Nostalgia does hold this up for me and you can probably see why. I DID play this somewhat recently on the 3DS, thinking i wasn't gonna enjoy it as much but honestly, it's still a good time.
Definitely a must play for me, do it for the Pika!

Everybody's got their one right? The Pokemon game that was their first. Mine was yellow, and just happens to be my favorite of all time. Not just because of blind nostalgia, but because of Pikachu.
Instead of having to pick one of the three starters, you have a Pikachu that follows you permanently in your party and you easily acquire all three starters throughout your journey. Making it feel like the anime.
I've heard people call this one difficult because you have Pikachu stuck in your party. ??? You can easily have all three starters with no trading!!
Anyways.. it's just classic pokémon. And if you loved the anime, this one really lets you feel like ash. At least in my opinion. I loved it. 10/10 with nostalgia goggles. O_o)
By the way... A wild Zubat appeared... FUUUuuUuUuUuuUU

I distinctly remember playing this game as a kid & putting more effort into leveling up & raising my Pidgeot than my Pikachu for some reason. Nevertheless, I have some fond memories of this one. I'd call my experience with it average though. Neither amazing nor awful. I never beat it like I did other games in the series, but it served as a nice intro to a flagship franchise.
Pokémon es sin duda la saga de mi infancia, tanto el anime como los videojuegos. Entre muchos de mis favoritos, creo que resalto amarillo. En su momento, el hecho de poder tener los tres iniciales y a Pikachu de una forma más cercana, como en el anime, era una sensación de poder espectacular. Todo me resultaba más colorido y los sprites más basados en el anime, preciosos.
This game is mostly the same thing as Pokémon Red/Blue, so I’m treating this as if it’s the first Pokémon game. With that being said, I’ve got to give it credit for launching maybe the most successful gaming franchise of all time. Having 151 unique Pokémon in the very first game is extremely impressive in my opinion. For the most part, this game has aged very well for a Gameboy game. The gameplay stands well today, and though the sound and visuals are worse than the future games, I can easily forgive that for how old it is. There is one major negative about this game though that makes it very tough to play today. It’s extremely slow. I played this game on Delta so I played at accelerated speed but when I tried to play at normal speed I just couldn’t. At accelerated speed, this game is a lot of fun and is downright addicting. However, this game in it’s original state is grueling and I would not play it that way.
Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition offers a charming adventure through the Kanto region, following the storyline of the Pokémon anime. While it retains the core gameplay of catching, training, and battling Pokémon from Pokémon Red and Blue, your persistent Pikachu companion adds a new dynamic. The colorful graphics for the Game Boy Color enhance the experience, but the core mechanics hold some age-related quirks. Overall, Pokémon Yellow Version is a delightful trip down memory lane for fans and a solid introduction to the Pokémon world for newcomers.
The worse Gen 1 game, I think. Less striking (albeit more consistently solid) sprites mixed with slightly more exaggerated colors, weird boss trainer changes, no easy to access Missingno. Still, it does have some neat stuff of its own, and at the end of the day remains the fundamentally same experience.
La primera generación la recordaba mejor:
Conocí Pokémon gracias a su serie animada y 2 títulos de la saga: Pokémon Rubí y este. Cuando era pequeño, me encantaba jugar a este titulo y lo consideraba de los mejores de la saga, pero unos años más tarde, decidí volver a jugarlo y ¡¡NO ME PUEDO CREER COMO MIS RECUERDOS ME ENGAÑARON!! ¡¡LA PRIMERA GENERACIÓN NO ES COMO MUCHOS LA RECORDABAN!!
En varios apartados, este juego no ha envejecido bien del todo, como el control del personaje en el mapeado, ya en los primeros juegos este no podía correr y a estándares actuales les resultara algo aburrido. El inventario no es infinito como seria a partir de la 2º generación, ya si tienes cierto números de items en el inventario, no podrás meter más. Eso significa que tendrás que deshacerte de algunos items. Otra cosa que no me gusta mucho de esta versión, es que como tiene influencia en el anime, tu inicial es Pikachu y puede resultarte muy complicado de primeras, sobre todo en el gimnasio de Brock, ya sus pokémon son de tipo roca y tierra y el tipo tierra son invulnerables a los ataques eléctricos. Lo bueno es que puedes obtener a los 3 iniciales de Kanto a lo largo de la aventuras.
Otra cosa que hace que yo prefiera esta versión por encima de Rojo y Azul, es que sus sprites de Pokémon están mejor detallados y más parecidos a los artes, ya que los sprites de Rojo y Azul de los monstruos de bolsillo son bastante deformes visualmente (solo miren el sprite de Machoke en Amarillo con el de Rojo y Azul, hay una mejora notable).
En fin, no es un mal juego, para su época estuvo bien, pero a estándares actuales del videojuego no ha envejecido bien del todo a comparación de entregas posteriores como Esmeralda o Platino, pero prefiero jugar a esta versión de Pokémon por encima de Rojo y Azul.
