Pokémon Yellow/New features

Line 2:

Pokémon Yellow, the Special Pikachu Edition, was the next addition to the Pokémon line-up after the Red and Blue versions became available. While Red and Blue differ only in the wild Pokémon they contain, Yellow has a number of significant new features, most of which were designed to make the game follow the plot of the TV series. Here are the main differences.

== Pikachu ~~Choses~~ You ==

== Pikachu Chooses You ==

While Red and Blue can pick [[BP:Bulbasaur (Pokémon)|Bulbasaur]], [[BP:Charmander (Pokémon)|Charmander]], or [[BP:Squirtle (Pokémon)|Squirtle]] as their starting Pokémon, Yellow players always begin with [[BP:Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]. If you had your heart set on that Squirtle, don't worry: Yellow is the only version in which Ash can get the three other starters in the course of his quest.

While [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Red and Blue]] can pick [[BP:Bulbasaur (Pokémon)|Bulbasaur]], [[BP:Charmander (Pokémon)|Charmander]], or [[BP:Squirtle (Pokémon)|Squirtle]] as their starting Pokémon, Yellow players always begin with [[BP:Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]. If you had your heart set on that Squirtle, don't worry: Yellow is the only version in which Ash can get the three other starters in the course of his quest.

The one downside is that Pikachu, as in the TV show refuses to evolve, so he'll be a Pikachu forever (although they did change his mix of skills to make him more effective than Pikachu was in Red/Blue). If you still want a [[BP:Raichu (Pokémon)|Raichu]], you'll have to talk to a Red or Blue player about making a trade.

As in the TV show, Pikachu refuses to get into his Poké Ball. He doesn't sit on Ash's head (probably more sanitary that way, anyhow), choosing instead to always follow one step behind. As long as Pikachu is with you (you can get rid of him by leaving him in a box at any Pokémon Center), you can "talk" with him, and ~~you'll~~ see a different animation depending on his mood. Pikachu's mood changes throughout the game, depending on how you treat him.

There are a few events in the game where Pikachu's mood will be important. For example, you'll never get a [[BP:Bulbasaur (Pokémon)|Bulbasaur]] if you can't prove to its current owner that you've taken good care of your Pikachu, so treat him right! Fortunately, all of these events are early in the game, so if you ~~chose~~ to leave Pikachu in a box later in the game, when he's much less useful, you won't be punished for it.
