If you have a Game Boy Printer, you can print a ton of cool things.  At various points in the game you can print out the contents of your boxes (allowing you to finally get things organized in there!), profiles of your favorite Pokémon, and even your Pokémon Diploma when you catch all 150!

When playing against your friends, you can now select a seconds set of Colosseum battles, designed to ensure fair fights against your friends.  The Petit Cup is especially interesting eliminating virtually all of the evolved forms by banning Pokémon who are taller than 6'8" or weigh more than 44 lbs.  This tournament format makes contenders out of [[BP:Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]], [[BP:Farfetch'd (Pokémon)|Farfetch'd]], [[BP:Diglett (Pokémon)|Diglett]] and other beloved Pokémon that didn't used to be viable for competitive play!

==Surfing Pikachu==
The Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow is able to learn the move "Surf" through various methods:
# By using Pikachu to win a certain Cup in [[Pokémon Stadium]].
# By attending a Pokémon event or winning it in a competition (both no longer offer Surfing Pikachus).
# By using a GameShark/Game Genie code.
Regardless of the method, once your Pikachu knows Surf you can play a new minigame called [[Pokémon Yellow/Pikachu's Beach|Pikachu's Beach]]. See that page for more information on acquiring a Surfing Pikachu.
