In {{game|Yellow}}, the player may be permanently unable to receive the single available {{p|Bulbasaur}}. To receive this Bulbasaur, the player's {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}} needs to have a [[friendship]] value of at least 147. If the starter Pikachu is traded away or sent to [[Pokémon Bank]] (from the [[Virtual Console]] version) before its friendship is raised to the required level, the player cannot receive Bulbasaur.

If the starter Pikachu was only traded away and not evolved, it can still be traded back to Pokémon Yellow in order to raise its friendship. However, if it is evolved, {{pkmn2|released}}, or sent to [[Pokémon Bank]], it is not possible to trade it back.
If the starter Pikachu was only traded away and not evolved, it can still be traded back to Pokémon Yellow in order to raise its friendship. However, if it has evolved into {{p|Raichu}} it will not be possible to raise its friendship anymore, and if it was {{pkmn2|released}} or sent to [[Pokémon Bank]], it will not be possible to trade it back.


A Pikachu is recognized as the starter Pikachu if it has the same Original Trainer name and [[Trainer ID number]] as the Pokémon Yellow player. It is theoretically possible for another [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II|II]] game to have a Pikachu with these properties, but in practice this is very unlikely without RNG manipulation or glitches.
