Review

When Pokemon Yellow came out in October 1999, it was a great excite for all Pokemon fans everywhere. Though most of the graphics were like Red and Blue, the new ones were great.

Rating for graphics: 3.5 out of 5

The game play was kind of like Red and Blue... but in Red and Blue, it was fun and challenging (Until you beat the Elite four)

Rating for the game: 4 out of 5

The game was good for a period, but when Gold and Silver came, this game was nothing.
