Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition (Japanese: ポケットモンスターピカチュウ Pocket Monsters Pikachu) is the fourth main series game in the Pokémon series, the third to be released internationally. While largely unchanged from the other versions, Pokémon Yellow Version is more based on the Pokémon anime series.

In Japan, the release of this game was timed to coincide with that of Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back, releasing two months afterward.^[1] The Japanese version was also released alongside a special edition "Pikachu Yellow" model of the Game Boy Printer.
