Exclusive Pokemon Yellow ROM: Unleash Your Adventure!

    Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition is an enhanced version of Pokémon Red and Blue, released for the Game Boy. It was developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, with its initial release in Japan in 1998 and later in North America (1999) and Europe (2000).

    Key Features

    • Inspired by the Anime: Unlike its predecessors, Pokémon Yellow closely follows the Pokémon anime series. Players start with Pikachu as their only starter Pokémon, while their rival receives Eevee. Pikachu has a unique personality, follows the player on-screen, and reacts to the player's actions.
    • Gameplay Enhancements: The game includes improved graphics, new character designs resembling anime characters (e.g., Team Rocket's Jessie and James), and additional features like Pikachu's happiness system.
    • Minigames and Extras: It features a "Pikachu's Beach" minigame, accessible through specific conditions, and compatibility with the Game Boy Printer to print Pokédex entries.
    • Compatibility: Like Red and Blue, it supports trading and battling via the Game Link Cable. It was later re-released on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in 2016 with added functionality for trading.

    Legacy
