This emulation is actually better than the real thing. The reason being: I hit a major unlimited money glitch. I went in to buy Rocket Game Coins and found that I just was not running out of money. I started with maybe 70 grand in money. After buying coins about 20 times, I figured it was deja vu, but I bought a few more coins and found that I was indeed spending the same money repeatedly. Every time I bought coins with 60 grand, my money went back up to 69 grand. I filled my coin case and redeemed for Porygon. Then I went back for more. I did not dare to believe this would last long. Ultimately, I walked away with all the prizes. I am not sure if these results are typical of the Vizzed Emulator for Pokémon Yellow. Perhaps another player can shed some light on the situation.

GRAPHICS

The images of Pokémon have improved a bit. The depictions from Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue were not bad. These ones are better. They paid close attention to Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander, but development even reworked more obscure ones like Mew, Onix, Chansey, Mankey, Ekans and Koffing. For that reason alone, the graphics should rate a bit higher than Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. The colors are even sharper than the ones from earlier Pokémon games. The original Game Boy had a contrast dial that screwed with every image on the screen. Since this game is for Game Boy Color, the hues are quite superior. The Pikachu-follow-me function was far ahead its time. All it took was an 8-bit game with ample programming time provided by skyrocketing pre-sales for an open-minded development team to give us a completely new way to experience Pikachu in all his cuteness. This brings me to.…

SOUND

Yes, it is a little disappointing that we cannot hear the Ikue Ootani voice for the most popular Pokémon of all. The game is still fun without it. If I require that kind of auditory satisfaction, I need only switch on my dust covered Game Boy Color. That is the only minus when the sound is valued. Pokémon Yellow on Vizzed has perfect pitch in all ways except one.

ADDICTIVENESS

When I was 13, Pokémon Yellow was the newest game on the block. I got a ride to what was then a Zellers (now a Home Depot) and purchased my own copy. My family had kept "the" Game Boy well stocked in batteries since the time Game Boy Tetris and Wheel of Fortune were in vogue. Therefore, I just played Pokémon Yellow all the time. I did not want put it down. When I should have slept, I played. When my family went to a Japanese buffet, I gamed and tried to ignore the shark meat and octopus legs. Every moment I could spare, I gave to this game. Now that I have matured, I spend less time gaming. The addictive appeal of this game is still as strong as it was. It has lost nothing. If you are not careful, you could go blind from sleep deprivation. Do not get in too deep with this game. If you are thinking of Pokémon Yellow at times you should not, do yourself a favour and take a few days off. A guide dog cannot help you log on to Vizzed and play, if you cannot see.

STORY

The plot has changed slightly from Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Red, but not that much. Professor Oak will catch Pikachu for you at the start of the game. Then, in Oak's lab, your rival will push you out of the way to "snatch" the single Poke ball on the table. He gets an Eevee, which is no match for Pikachu at first. You will encounter trainers that were not there in previous versions. Jessie and James Team Rocket show up to ambush you at various points in the game. The same trainers in Yellow Version will use different Pokémon. Lt. Surge for instance, has a Raichu like in the show. Pikachu’s presence alters dialog and events. Keep him with you for the full experience.

DEPTH and DIFFICULTY

If you were to play all the way to Mewtwo's capture, catching every available species (79) of Pokémon along the way, it might take between 60 to upwards of 200 hours to finish with a complete Pokedex. Depending on your goals, it can be very difficult or very easy to finish to your satisfaction.

Pokemon Yellow is the first Pokemon game ever released I believe. I played this once, I really enjoyed it, I do not regret playing it, its a good game to play.

Good review. I love Pokemon Yellow, only the third Pokemon game I ever played. After Ruby and Crystal.

Pokémon Yellow is an awesome game.  I love using Pikachu and the adventure is so fun.  Very good review.

Ah,Pokemon Yellow.I will never forget about this game.I can now play it on Vizzed.The game isn't hard.It is fun though.Good review

Okay whats the point of them adding Blue,Red And Yellow?How come it isn't just one game rather then to redo the same quest all over again this is a joke!

  I reviewed this game in great seriousness . It is no joke when I say I like the canon of Pokémon . You see I noted many improvements in game play from the previous North American release versions . Even emulating from Vizzed had not been exactly the same as my experiences with my personal Game Boy Color .  I have batteries to spare [ gathering dust ] now for my handheld systems because I do not go through them . I have more fun playing online .

 Funny story, the first time I saw a fellow person playing Pokémon [ it was Blue ] he did it on his computer . Maybe that early influence means my preference was already predetermined but there you go . I thought it was the coolest from the get go . I was either already watching the cartoon on TV after school or I may have started after that but I had my own Pokémon Yellow game cartridge not long after my neighbor friend with the loaded ROM moved away . Playing on Game Boy Color was so superior to my mother's Game Boy .  If I did not mention all that in this review , maybe I should have except I was trying to keep my personal voice and experiences at a neutral interpretation that readers could relate to. That was how I wrote my reviews for posting on Vizzed .
