Pokemon Yellow Game Boy genuine

Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition, commonly known as Pokémon Yellow, is a role-playing video game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy handheld console. It was released in 1998 in Japan and 1999 internationally and is part of the first generation of Pokémon games.

Pokémon Yellow is a special edition of the original Pokémon Red and Blue games, inspired by the Pokémon animated TV series. The game follows the same basic premise as its predecessors, where players assume the role of a Pokémon Trainer and set out on a journey to become a Pokémon Champion. The goal is to capture and train various creatures known as Pokémon and battle against other trainers to become the strongest.

In Pokémon Yellow, players start their adventure with Pikachu as their initial Pokémon, mirroring the TV show's protagonist, Ash Ketchum. Unlike in the original Red and Blue versions, where players could choose between three different starter Pokémon, players in Pokémon Yellow are given Pikachu as their companion. Pikachu follows the player character around on the screen and can express emotions through various animations.

The gameplay mechanics in Pokémon Yellow are similar to other mainline Pokémon games. Players explore the game world, encounter wild Pokémon, engage in turn-based battles, and capture Pokémon using Poké Balls. The game features a variety of different Pokémon species to catch, train, and evolve. The ultimate objective is to defeat eight Gym Leaders and challenge the Elite Four, the most powerful trainers in the game, to become the Pokémon Champion.

Pokémon Yellow was well-received by both fans and critics, as it offered a unique experience with Pikachu as a prominent companion. Its tie-in with the popular Pokémon TV series made it a huge success, and it remains a beloved entry in the Pokémon franchise. The game's success laid the foundation for future generations of Pokémon games and helped establish Pokémon as a global phenomenon.
