Others disagreed, feeling that the game's existence seemed cash-grabby - a criticism that Nintendo continues to face for releasing multiple versions of each new mainline Pokémon game. Some found the game different enough from Pokémon Red and Blue to make it a worthwhile experience, even for someone who'd already played either of those games. While Pokémon Yellow sold and reviewed well after its release, it didn't do so entirely without controversy. The intent behind the added encounters may not go any deeper than making the forest a more eventful location in Yellow to reflect its show status. That said, Viridian Forest is the site of multiple notable events in the anime, such as Ash's acquisition of his Pidgeotto and Butterfree. Two of Yellow's Bug Catchers use Metapod, but none of the four use a Pinsir, so none stand out as potential references to Samurai. That trainer is a Pinsir and Metapod trainer who calls himself Samurai. Ash and Misty only run into one other trainer while visiting the forest in the Pokémon anime's first season besides Team Rocket and themselves. The Bug Catchers are still present in Yellow, but they're joined by a fourth along with a member of the Lass trainer class. In Pokémon Red and Blue, the player can battle three Bug Catcher trainers in Viridian Forest. Mime and Venomoth for the Abra on her show team, while Blaine joins his show counterpart in using a Ninetales.Ĭuriously, Pokémon Yellow also introduces a couple of NPCs who don't seem to reference the anime in any specific way. Koga fights with Venonat and Venomoth like his show counterpart instead of with his Red and Blue team of Koffing, Weezing, and Muk. Gym Leader Erika fights using a Victreebel and a Vileplume in Red and Blue, but Yellow replaces those Pokémon with their pre-evolutions to match the Weepinbell and Gloom that Ash battles in the anime. Team Rocket boss Giovanni has a Pokémon team in Yellow that includes the Persian that he keeps as a companion in the show. Chansey accompany Nurse Joys at Pokémon Centers. Officer Jenny tells the player that she's caught the Squirtle for causing mischief before she hands it off to them, and anime protagonist Ash's Squirtle leads a gang of mischief-making fellows of its species before joining his team. This Squirtle is one of several nonhuman anime characters to receive counterparts in Yellow, along with the player's Pikachu and the Team Rocket duo's partners. Likewise, the player will encounter police officers with the flared hairstyle of Officer Jenny on Yellow's overworld, one of whom will give them a Squirtle. Yellow replaces them with nurses wearing the iconic hat and hooped hairstyle that marks them as the anime's Pokémon Center Nurse Joys. Nurses at the Pokémon Centers seen in Red and Blue have simple outfits and long straight hair. They fight the player's team not only with Meowth but with the Ekans and Koffing that serve as their partner Pokémon early in the show. But Yellow replaces most of these grunts with Jessie and James, the anime's reoccurring comedic antagonists. For instance, the player fights unnamed Team Rocket grunts in all their encounters with the crime ring in Pokémon Red and Blue.

The sprite art for Pokémon Yellow is changed from Red and Blue's, and while the updated art often enhances characters' resemblance to their anime counterparts - such as by increasing the spikiness of the rival's hair or by dressing Brock in a brightly-colored vest - it rarely does more than that. Some of Yellow's subtler referential alterations to characters are purely cosmetic and don't alter who those characters are.
