 ** Pokémon Yellow was also announced and released after [[Game Freak]] postponed {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, which were originally set to come out in March 1998.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/swgbsoft/swgb03.html {{j|SPACEWORLD'97 出展　GAME BOYソフト}}]</ref> Instead, [[Pokémon Pikachu]] came out that month.
 ** The special Pikachu Yellow model of the [[Game Boy Printer]] was also exclusively released in Japan on September 12, 1998.<ref>[http://maru-chang.com/hard/gb/ {{j|DMG/MGB/CGB： ゲームボーイ}}]</ref><ref>[http://www.geocities.jp/hagane0772/rekisi.html {{j|ポケモンの歴史}}]</ref>
-* The [[canon]]icity of the [[Kanto]] plot is often assumed to be set by Pokémon Yellow given how the particular events in the game explain {{ga|Red}}'s [[party]] as an [[Non-player character|NPC]], but him having all the Kanto [[starter Pokémon]] and {{p|Pikachu}} does not necessarily imply a correlation with the events of Yellow; his party is rather symbolic of [[Generation I]] as a whole. Another contradiction in the game canon is that the NPCs exclusive to Yellow do not exist in the other [[core series]] games set in Kanto (for example, the old in-game trade couple in [[Cerulean City]] from {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}} still lives in their house in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, despite the girl taking care of {{p|Bulbasaur}} replacing them in Yellow). Also, Blue's team as a gym leader mostly comprises the Pokemon he used as a champion in Red and Blue (minus the starter) rather than Yellow.
 * {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which reimplemented the [[walking Pokémon]] mechanic that was introduced in Yellow, were released in Japan exactly 11 years after Yellow was released in Japan.
 * The two available starter Pokémon of this game, {{p|Pikachu}} ({{ga|Red|player}}) and {{p|Eevee}} ({{ga|Blue|rival}}), are the only Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation V]] to evolve with a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.
