Pikachu replaces all of the other usual starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}. However, these three other Pokémon can be received during in-game events over the course of the game, which reflects how [[Ash Ketchum]] eventually obtained all three of Kanto's starters in the anime. This Pikachu is also the only Pikachu found in Yellow; other Pikachu must be traded in from compatible games. | Pikachu replaces all of the other usual starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

After battling against Blue for the first time, the Pikachu will choose to stay out of its [[Poké Ball]] and [[walking Pokémon|follow the player]] around everywhere, unless it faints, if it is [[Pokémon storage system|put into storage]], or traded. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[happiness|likes]] the player. This makes Pokémon Yellow the first game to show Pokémon happiness, which would become more prominent in [[Generation II]].

Pikachu's happiness does not have many uses in the game, however it is vital if the player wishes to receive a Bulbasaur in [[Cerulean City]]. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and happiness, the image can also show several other events, such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}. | ||
Notably, like Ash's Pikachu did twice, this Pikachu will refuse a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} given to it in Yellow, and not evolve into {{p|Raichu}} unless it is traded out of Yellow to do so. Raichu must be otherwise obtained by either trading in an already evolved one or trading in a Pikachu from another game. | Notably, like Ash's Pikachu did twice, this Pikachu will refuse a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} given to it in Yellow, and not evolve into {{p|Raichu}} unless it is traded out of Yellow to do so.
