Pokémon Yellow
This new version of Pokémon is a lot like the original Pokémon Red and Blue games, except that it's based off the TV show (But then the TV show is based off the game... what gives?).

Anyway, there are a few major differences from Yellow compared to Red and Blue. For starters:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pikachu follows you around.

Yes, it does seem annoying,... but for some reason, it's a lot better looking that you being by yourself.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can talk to Pikachu.

This is one of the neat things about Pokémon Yellow. Pikachu expresses his moods and conditions during a certain situation.

For example:
Pikachu is scared since he's in the Pokémon Tower.
Pikachu is sick since he's sick.
Pikachu is very happy because he's always happy.

I've lost count on how many different expressions that Pikachu has.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pokémon are different looking.
••

These Pokémon are a lot better looking.... from Pidgey to Mewtwo. They were changed to resemble their TV counterparts. Even some of the human characters like Ash and Gary got a make over, including the gym leaders.
Since I only have about 70 some odd Pokémon, I can't put up images of every single Pokémon in Yellow. But I'll see what I can do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can get Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur without the help of trading

Yep. Like in the TV show, Ash got the three starting Pokémon not from Professor Oak, but out there, in the wild (but then the three were really out wild).

To get Squirtle, you have to beat Sgt. Surge and then talk to Officer Jenny in the middle of town.
To get Bulbasaur, find a person in Cerilian City that has a Bulbasaur amd talk to her. After a few tries you'll get Bulbasaur.
To get Charmander, walk north of Cerilian City, over the bridge with the 5 or 6 trainers and head left to the long field of grass. Talk to the guy in the field and after a few tries he'll give you Charmander.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pokémon "Rotation" is different.

In Yellow, you won't find the same Pokémon in the same places as you would have found them in Red/Blue. Plus you can catch all 150 (maybe 151 is what I hear about Mew is true), without trading (except for Pokémon that evolve when they're traded like Golem or Gengar)... unlike Red and Blue where you have trade to get all 150 Pokémon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The entire Unknown Dungeon is different.

I don't know why, but the layout and everything about the Unknown Dungeon (except for the fact that you can catch Mewtwo in it) is different.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a new house south of Fuchsia City.

••••

Hmmm... I'm not that familiar with the Pokémon TV show, so I don't know how this house with the guy and the Pikachu fits into it all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Major TV Characters

Other major players in the Pokémon TV show make an appearence.

Nurse Joy & Nurse Chansey

Officer Jenny

These folk don't provide very much info (as far as I know). Nurse Joy just replaces the other Pokémon Center lady. Officer Jenny replaces any linguring police officer in the game (except for the one where you get Squirtle from).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh yeah.... Team Rocket!

Yeah... I guess everyone knows by knows that Team Rocket will make an appearence in Pokémon Yellow. Four actually.

You can find Team Rocket at:

• Mt. Moon, at the exit
• The Game Corner, right before Giovanni
• The Pokémon Tower, right before Mr. Fuji
• The Sliph Company building, right before Giovanni

The problem here is that you only see Jessie and James at those 4 times, and nowhere else. Oh well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I guess that's all of the new things in Pokémon Yellow that I can think of. With all this stuff, I'm sure your hapy it's finally out!!
