Say Hello To Pokemon Yellow

July 11th, 2010 Jacob Akshire No comments

Arguably one among the most addictive games to have been published by Nintendo, the Pokemon franchise has been a source of many great interactive adventures. Adventure, fame, excitement, and more was up for grabs to all trainers who dared take on the world of Pokemon. Pokemon Yellow, the first version that put the player in the shoes of the protagonist from the televised show, was a marvelous addition to the series.

The road to become a Pokemon Master is long and arduous, but well worth it for all trainers to travel upon. As players journey across the Kanto region, he or she will encounter many different types of monsters and fellow trainers. All of this will prepare the trainer to face off against the eight gym leaders and ultimately the Elite Four.

In this version Pikachu hobbles behind the trainer, never before could players walk with their pets in the game. Brock and Misty, the leaders of the rock and water gym respectively, make their cameo appearance to the delight of many users. Moving ahead of the prior installments, Yellow upgraded all of their monster sprites and even had distinguishable opponent sprites.

The protagonist’s greatest wish is to become the most renowned Pokemon Master in the entire Kanto region. To do this, the trainer must gather the eight badges by battling all the gym leaders in hopes of having the chance to fight the Elite Four. Along the way Team Rocket, an organization of evil, will show their face and hinder the progression of the player.

Along the same lines as the show, many familiar characters make their welcomed appearance in this version, like Misty and Brock. These two are the famous friends of the main character from the anime. Jesse and James, followed by Meowth, will obstruct the path every now and then just like the show.

Pikachu is the first pokemon to stay out of his pokeball, the equivalent of a pet collar, and follow the trainer. This cute companion has many emotions and sounds that frequently are displayed to the player as a result of their actions. This phenomenal aspect further cemented Pikachu’s role as the mascot of the entire Pokemon franchise.

Pocket Monsters, or Pokemon as it is more commonly referred to, is a wonderful game that is a must play for all ages. No matter if the player is a casual or hardcore gamer, there is something to be enjoyed by all audiences. Pokemon Yellow was a gem in its time and still is quite enjoyable now.
