StoryPokemon Yellow follows the plot of the Anime, You get a disobedient Pikachu who begins to like you, while you thwart Team Rocket's evil scheme and conquering the gyms of the Kanto region. You're not the only however, you're rival is also trying to become the greatest Pokemon master too.
Sound 10/15The music starts to get boring after awhile but that won’t stop you humming along to it.
Graphics 17/20Great graphics for a Game boy game, however the color Brown crops up way too often for my liking making the environments quite repetitive unless you’re playing on the original Gameboy, have fun with that Grey!
Appeal 20/25The game starts off slow and can get quite boring until you reach the second gym, once you get past that the game is great fun, apart from caves as the music gets repetitive along with that hideous color Brown.
Gameplay 35/40You weaken Pokemon and toss Pokeballs at them to catch them. You train them in battle to increase your strength and you teach them new moves using TM’s and HM’s. Battles are turn based 1v1’s, there’s type advantages and disadvantages so strategy is key, theirs is also an element of puzzle which takes place in all sorts of places such as mansion and caves.
Overall 82/100A challenging game with a mix of Puzzle Strategy and Action, one of the best Pokemon games in the series.
