Game Boy version

The best Pokemon game of its time

The Good
When I used to play this game, it was very cool. I don't like it anymore. Anyway, it featured the same bad graphics as the first Pokemon games only in color. That still doesn't make it much better. The color was an improvement though and so was the storyline. Now it's not just "Wow, you magically appeared here so go catch stuff for battle." The sound was slightly better but not much.

The Bad
I didn't like that there were no new creatures. Also, the setting was exactly the same. Nothing changed except an expanded storyline and now you have a weird Pokemon following you that doesn't listen to you.

The Bottom Line
Pokemon Yellow is better than the first Pokemon games. With improvements in the story and graphics, this game has gone beyond the original. It lacks new components like an expanded world and more creatures. You still do the same thing.
