Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition (GB)

Pikachu takes center stage as your starter Pokémon in this enhanced version of the original games, as he follows you around outside his pokéball and cannot be traded or evolved. Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys were substituted for the nurses and police officers around Kanto, some Pokémon locations and appearances were changed, and various sprites and world elements were reworked to better reflect the overall brand as it had been established since Red & Blue launched.

Although this was not a full GBC game, the western version of Pokémon Yellow received a minor palette enhancement that works well if you're playing on a Game Boy Color. The changes add an extra layer of charm (and the surfing Pikachu minigame is a lot of fun), but the original Pokémon titles remain an enjoyable gaming experience regardless of which version you choose. They are simple in appearance and lack the bells and whistles of later games, but they captivate from start to finish.
