By releasing a new and better game, Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition, or simply Pokémon Yellow Version, Nintendo has made the biggest profit from Pokémon red and blue. This was Pokemon’s third game in the world and the fourth in Japan. It was the world’s first game. Unlike other games in the series, it was inspired by anime. Despite its being released at the end of the lifetime of the Gameboy, it remained the second best-selling non-bundled console game trailing only the red and blue versions of Pokemon.

The gameplay is comprised of a 3rd person overhead perspective and three fundamental screens: an overworld, a combat screen, and the menu interface. The ultimate goal of the games is to capture, develop and trade 151 Pokémon in the Encyclopedia of Pokémon. The story follows Red who starts from a wild Pikachu captured as his first Pokemon by Professor Oak. The player is fighting another Pokémon with his Pokémon.Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition".

The initial concept for Pokémon stemmed from the hobby of insect collecting, a popular pastime which Tajiri enjoyed as a child. [28] While growing up, however, he observed more urbanization taking place in the town where he lived and as a result, the insect population declined. Tajiri noticed that kids now played in their homes instead of outside and he came up with the idea of a video game, containing creatures that resembled insects, called Pokémon. He thought kids could relate with the Pokémon by individually naming them, and then controlling them to represent fear or anger as a good way of relieving stress. However, Pokémon never bleed nor die in battle, only faint– this was a very touchy subject to Tajiri, as he did not want to further fill the gaming world with "pointless violence".

Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game without causing corruption. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since neither game fully encodes both kana and the Latin alphabet (only encoding one fully and the other partially). If a battle between a Japanese game and a non-Japanese game is attempted, the battle simply does not work, with the save files left unharmed. This was also the first game to have a single available Pokémon species with this kind of cry, which was also the case later for Pikachu in Pokémon X and Y.

The entire trio of starter Pokémon introduced in the game's own generation can be obtained without trades, transfers, or events. a b "Pokémon Yellow Special Pikachu Edition". Pokémon/Nintendo. March 10, 2014. Archived from the original on January 19, 2013 . Retrieved April 21, 2014.

Some Pokémon received new sprites that show their individual appearance more clearly instead of using generic icons shared by multiple Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Sandshrew, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Oddish, and Chansey ( ). However, much like Snorlax since the previous games, those new sprites only appear in the overworld; they still use their old generic sprites in the party. Staff. "2. 一新されたポケモンの世界".

The game was available on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console between the Pokémon 20th Anniversary on February 27, 2016 and the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.

This sprite is also used as the icon for any Pikachu or Raichu in the party, instead of using the Clefairy-like icon from earlier games. This game predicts the end of the world will be 1997… though seen as though the GBC port came out in 2000, I think we can all agree they got it wrong. To create more interest for the games, Tajiri revealed an extra Pokémon called Mew hidden within them, which he believed "created a lot of rumors and myths about the game" and "kept the interest alive". [29] The creature was originally added by Shigeki Morimoto as an internal prank and was not intended to be exposed to consumers. [55] It was not until later that Nintendo decided to distribute Mew through a Nintendo promotional event. However, in 2003 a glitch became widely known and could be exploited so anyone could obtain the elusive Pokémon. [56]
