Unlike the previous versions (where the main differences between each version were the types of Pokémon that could be caught and graphical differences), the Yellow version made more significant changes to the characters featured in the game, many of which were based on the Pokémon anime series. |

Similar games include ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Emerald Version]]''. So far, the only variations to this formula have been in the fifth and sixh generations. The fourth featured [[Pokémon: Black and White Versions 2|a pair of sequel versions]] instead of a remake version, while the fifth generation stands as the only generation that did not receive any extra versions beyond the two that were initially released. |

While only Pikachu could follow the player in ''Yellow'', the other games instead allowed the player to choose which Pokémon would follow them. |

This version was only slightly modified - some of the flashier animations were toned down, and the Nintendo 3DS wireless communication was used for connectivity in place of the Link Cables. It also became possible to play the Pikachu's Beach minigame with the starter Pikachu, rather than requiring the promotional Surfing Pikachu. The Poké Transporter app could also be used to transfer Pokémon caught in this version to the Poké Bank, from which they could be brought to other Pokémon games. |
