This was undoubtedly my favorite of the first generation Game Boy Color Pokémon games. Pokémon Yellow was intended to be almost, if not an exact, clone of the anime series, holding true to this by bringing back numerous key elements that were previously not in Red, Blue, and Green. One example, Team Rocket's Jesse and James follow you with consistency, in order to battle you to steal Pikachu. They have changed little about their team, sure to have Meowth in tow, along with annoying poison types, of course. They will be quite easy, however, as long as you are at a reasonable level. This game also introduced a key element to my enjoyment of this game, which was re-introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, that infuriated me to no end when it was not in Black, White, Platinum, etc. I'm talking about the aspect of Pikachu following you. This was very fun for me, I liked to talk to him and be able to see his emotions. Another thing I loved about this game was the ability to have all of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle on your team to accompany Pikachu. Like I said, similar to the anime. This game also disallowed you to evolve Pikachu into Raichu, if I do recall. Although Brock and Misty will not join you on your adventures, you still get the satisfaction of wiping Misty out with godly ease. This game was quite was quite greatly put together, though, as it still lets me enjoy the game as if I were in the anime,, but not all of it was there. The game was still tailored to Red, Blue, and Green's story to some extent. You didn't get every single side quest and NPC as there is in the anime. Although this game was not an exact copy of the anime, it still stood out to me as my favorite original Generation I game.
