It was released on the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy]] and features Super Game Boy and [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements. The game was released in Japan on September 12, [[1998]] and was simply known as '''Pocket Monsters Pikachu'''. It was released in North America on October 1, [[1999]] and was called '''Pokémon: Special Pikachu Edition''' by Nintendo. A digital re-release of Pokémon Yellow was launched on February 27, 2016 in the Nintendo 3DS e-Shop, for Pokémon's 20th anniversary of the original Japanese launch of the series on the original Game Boy. In both regions, the games are often referred to by fans as simply Pokémon Yellow or Pokémon Pikachu (though the latter name was officially assigned to the Pokémon Pikachu pedometer). | ||

This version of Pokémon received its name due to the fact that Trainers get Pikachu as their starter Pokémon instead of being able to choose between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. You can, however, receive all three regular starters during the course of this game. Pokémon Yellow players can trade their Pokémon with the Red and Blue version players. They may also trade with [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal]]. However, any of the 100 Pokémon introduced in those versions cannot be traded into Pokémon Yellow, just as they can't be traded into the Red or Blue versions. | This version of Pokémon received its name due to the fact that Trainers get Pikachu as their starter Pokémon instead of being able to choose between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

Pokémon Yellow can be played on almost any variety of Game Boy, as well as the Super Game Boy (the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Color palettes are nearly identical) and the Game Boy Player. The only system it can't be played on is the [[wikipedia:Game Boy Micro|Game Boy Micro]]. On the [[Nintendo 64]], Pokémon Yellow can be played on the television through [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] with the use of Nintendo 64 Transfer Pack. The Transfer Pack allowed the transfer of a player's Pokémon to the Nintendo 64 for three-dimensional battles and new features. Using the Yellow Pikachu in the Stadium games makes it sound like Pikachu from the Pokémon animé. | Pokémon Yellow can be played on almost any variety of Game Boy, as well as the Super Game Boy (the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Color palettes are nearly identical) and the Game Boy Player.
