Pokémon Yellow Reimagined: A Fusion of Classic Gameplay and Modern Features

Publisher: Nintendo

Developer: Game Freak

Also available on: N/A

This is essentially an updated version of Pokémon Yellow from the original Gameboy, but not just with better graphics; there are some new additions also. It is actually a mixture of Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon Go. The map and story follow the original games, but instead of battling each random Pokémon you find in the wild, you have to throw Pokéballs at them to capture them, just like in Pokémon Go.

There are still classic battles, though; the trainers you come across have to be battled in the normal classic style. Gyms are also still included, and so are the battles to win their badges.

Pikachu stays by your side, follows you around, and can be interacted with in multiple ways, including feeding him/her treats. You can even rename your Pikachu. Other Pokémon can also follow you from any of your captured ones, which looks very cute. Some will walk beside you, and some are so big you can be carried around by them.

This is a great remaster of the classic Yellow edition but with many additions too. Your Pokémon follower can even comment on scenery or find hidden items. Many people complained, saying they want Pokémon Blue, Red, or Yellow added and remastered, yet this IS Yellow, just with extra additions and new graphics. Highly recommended.
