Original Thread: My Pikachu is kawaii! (TN: kawaii means cute) Let's Play Pokemon Yellow

 

Introduction



Pokemon, everyone here's heard of it, everyone here knows about it. But by how much? The First Generation of Pokemon is absolutely fascinating to me, they made these games not knowing how well it would be received. They were thinking it would be enough for a sequel pair of games and that'd be it. They didn't know it would be coming over to the west, so it has the good old Japanese strangeness that later games are missing, especially for Gen 2, which they knew would be coming west bound. All Pokemon games have it, obviously, since Game Freak is based in Japan, but they know they're also releasing to a very large Western market, so this game is where it's in full force. And despite how much people know of the American side, they hardly know anything of the Japanese side.

So we'll be covering more or less every aspect of Pokemon and Pocket Monsters in the first generation, including the chosen game: Pokemon Yellow was released in September 1998 in Japan (just before the release of Red and Blue in America), October 1999 in America and June 2000 in Europe. It's based off of the still running anime with its still 10 year old protagonist. Cheekily, they based the game on an anime that hadn't even finished yet (the next episode in Japan after Yellow's release was Battle of the Badge. Yep, that one), so it doesn't follow the anime's story exactly, or hardly at all. We'll see as we go through.

In any case, let's get on with the show.
