The plot of Yellow is very similar to that of the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as of the {{game|Red and Blue|s|Western Red and Blue}}: the {{player}} (canonically known as {{ga|Red}}) begins his game in [[Pallet Town]], a small town in the [[Kanto]] region, on the same day as his former best friend and now {{ga|Blue|rival}}. | The plot of Yellow is very similar to that of the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as of the {{game|Red and Blue|s|Western Red and Blue}}: the {{player}} (canonically known as {{ga|Red}}) begins his game in [[Pallet Town]], a small town in the [[Kanto]] region, on the same day as his former best friend and now {{ga|Blue|rival}}. | ||
While looking for [[Professor Oak]] who had called both of them to his laboratory, the player tries to leave town, only for Oak to catch up to him two steps into {{rt|1|Kanto}}'s grassy path.

Warning the player about the dangers of walking in [[tall grass]] without a Pokémon, Oak himself encounters a wild {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} and manages to catch it, before leading the player to his laboratory, where he allows the player to take the single {{i|Poké Ball}} containing an {{p|Eevee}} from the desk near him. The [[rival]] quickly gets jealous, shoves the player out of his way and takes the Pokémon for himself. With no other options, Oak gives player the freshly caught Pikachu, after which the rival challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}. | ||
After the battle, Oak allows the two new Trainers to leave for their {{pkmn|journey}} across [[Kanto]]. Right after the rival leaves, the player's Pikachu breaks out of his Poké Ball and [[Walking Pokémon|starts following the player on foot]]. Stopping in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a [[Parcel|package]] has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed the professor gives one [[Pokédex]] to the player and one to the rival, and sends them on their way. Viridian City has a Gym; however, it is locked. | After the battle, Oak allows the two new Trainers to leave for their {{pkmn|journey}} across [[Kanto]].

In the Western language releases, which are emulated in [[Game Boy Color]] mode, {{p|Jynx}}'s battle sprites have been recolored to align with its modern design, recoloring Jynx's black skin to purple. Jynx's original design had previously been subject to {{pkmn|controversy}} due to its resemblance to racial stereotypes of African-Americans. The Japanese release is emulated in [[Game Boy]] mode—which is monochromatic—so no change was made. | In the Western language releases, which are emulated in [[Game Boy Color]] mode, {{p|Jynx}}'s battle sprites have been recolored to align with its modern design, recoloring Jynx's black skin to purple.
