Pokémon Yellow is the sequel to the Pokémon Red and Blue games. It is compatible to those games by use of the link cable to trade or battle, and share the same gameplay elements.
The primary difference is your starting Pokémon which is unanimously Pikachu as the box art implies, to emulate the anime series that originated from Pokémon Red and Blue. You can see and interact with your Pikachu outside of battles. It will deliberately refuse to evolve into Raichu unless traded to a different version. Also, the rival will be given an Eevee, which will evolve into one of its (then) three evolutions depending on your win/loss ratio with your rival.

- Two linked Yellow versions may battle in the following battle modes: Pika Cup, Poké Cup, and Petite Cup.
- Team Rocket, Jessie, James and Meowth appear in the game.
- Cerulean Cave has changed from Pokemon Red and Blue.
- In Viradian Forest, there are Level 9 Pidgeottos, which is otherwise impossible.
- There is no Missingno Glitch, but there are other glitch Pokemon. (ACTUALLY MISSINGNO IS OBTAINABLE THROUGH THE MEW GLITCH BY BATTELING DIFFERENT TRAINERS)
