The shockingly cute Pikachu tags along behind you as you search the enormous world for monsters to train and evolve. Face off against Blastoise's torrential water gun. Stand strong when facing Pidgeot's stormy gust. Develop the ultimate Pokemon strategy to defeat the eight GYM leaders and become the greatest Pokemon master of all time! Review It's here. The biggest news in the world of portable Pokemon gaming since the original Red and Blue titles hit the shelves so long ago. Pokemon - Special Pikachu Edition (Pokemon Yellow to you and me) may be a cynical marketing ploy to make millions of kids buy the same game all over again, but Nintendo has done it so well it's hard to care. You should be familiar with the premise by now, so we'll skip the banter and cut to the chase: What's new? Not a lot, though the differences are clearly noticeable. In many ways this feels like a slightly updated version of the original, with a few surprises here and there to keep long-time fans interested. Pikachu is given to you at the very start of the game - Oak even goes to the trouble of capturing it for you - and your rival, Gary, starts his Pokemon-collecting spree with Eevee instead of Squirtle, Bulbasaur, or Charmander. Dungeon layouts have been slightly altered, and different Pokemon are now found in new places than you would expect. For the visually conscious, new character portraits for each and every creature are a welcome sight. Full Game Boy Color support is noticeably lacking - we will have to wait for Gold and Silver, which will have it - but on a Super Game Boy this looks fantastic. Good to see that niche version of the world's most popular handheld still being supported so well. The modifications are mostly made to resemble the animated series as closely as possible. Encounters with Team Rocket now pit you against those lovable rogues Jesse and James, and Pikachu follows you around on the screen instead of staying inside his Pokeball. As this is the Special Pikachu Edition, everyone's favorite electric rat stars heavily. When you're not out catching 'em all, you can check on Pikachu's condition - a close-up view of him is always available, and his facial expressions indicate whether or not you need to spend some more quality time with him. Pikachu is at his happiest when he's sent into battle and kept well taken care of with potions. Oh, and before we forget, he even stars in a surfing minigame for no apparent reason. Overall, Yellow is just a stopgap to help us wait for the real sequels - Gold/Silver. Thankfully, the new challenges are enough to fill the hole - but only just. Good thing for Nintendo that Pikachu is so darn cute.... --Cameron Davis --Copyright ©1998 GameSpot Inc. All rights reserved.

Played it as a kid and was excited to find it again. Same great game. Review: Nostalgia FTW - The game works fine, no errors so far and I played the game for a good three hours and the new save battery works too. The game feels great and it's just like another Pokemon game. The game came in the mail in extremely good condition. The seller said the game's cover sticker is minor scratched but mine didn't have a single scratch or damaged at all. The cartridge it self was clean and surprising little to none scratches or wear on it. It felt like I just bought the game from the store 20 years ago. So this game made feel all the nostalgia and when I turned it on, it sounded fine and it worked fine. And I played it on my gameboy color so even more nostalgia. But the cartridge may vary but it's still worth the money ## Features - Game Boy Pokemon Yellow Version Special Pikachu Edition - Brand New Save Battery Professionally Installed - Compatible with: GB, GBC, GBA, GBA SP - Special Edition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000047GEI | | Batteries | 1 CR123A batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #11,580 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #16 in Game Boy Advance Games | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Nintendo Game Boy DMG-01 | | Computer Platform | Game Boy | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (1,110) | | Date First Available | September 4, 2000 | | Department | _ | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.96 ounces | | Manufacturer | SPIG | | Product Dimensions | 5.39 x 2.48 x 0.75 inches; 0.96 ounces | | Publication Date | October 18, 1999 | | Rated | Everyone | | Release date | October 18, 1999 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 045496460808 045496730895 703307952156 | ## Images ![Pokemon: Yellow Version - Special Pikachu Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KyUsBJsVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If you evolve Pikachu on a different version and trade it back onto Yellow how come Raichu doesn't follow you around?** A: I've done this once. You can actually hear Pikachu cry as he's being traded over to the other game if the sound is on. If anyone is trying to complete the Pokedex, trade a Pikachu caught in the wild from a different game to Yellow. On Yellow you can then use a Thunderstone on that Pikachu. **Q: can it the game be played on gameboy Advanced SP** A: i believe that most game boy game and game boy color game cartridge won't fit in till the game boy advance sp cartridge slot not one hundred percent sure on that **Q: What is the difference between the game and the digital code edition?** A: The sellers don't know what they're saying. The digital code is for the 3DS. It is also possible using a modded 3DS and a Gameboy cartridge dumper to get your Pokemon all the way to Gen 7 with the exception of Mew. The only other benefit to the digital versions is on Crystal where you can now get Celibi officially. **Q: Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue are better?** A: Red and Blue were better. When they released Yellow, they took out Missingno. (a glitch that gives you an easier edge against the elite four) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Game! *by A***Y on March 12, 2026* Great game!

The Pokemon Yellow Version I received was in great shape! Plays well (so far) and has successfully saved a new game. I was a little nervous that it was just sent in a bubble mailer without any extra protection, but it seems to be totally fine. I'd order again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/182611-pokemon-yellow-version-special-pikachu-edition](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/182611-pokemon-yellow-version-special-pikachu-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
