In Cerulean City a character named Melanie will give you a Bulbasaur for free as long as your Pikachu is happy enough and you have the space in your party. You can manage Pikachu’s happiness with items and proper care. Don’t forget, you can always trade for Bulbasaur if you find a willing friend.
Once you have obtained the Thunder Badge by beating Lt Surge at the Vermilion Gym, talk to Officer Jenny in the middle of town to get Squirtle. Her claim that Squirtle was getting into mischief is a reference to "The Squirtle Squad" where a team of Squirtle are the local nuisance.

Pokemon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition, often referred to as simply Pokémon Yellow, is an improved version released in Japan in 1998 and in other regions in 1999 and 2000. Remakes of Red and Green, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, were released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004, while remakes of Yellow, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! were released for the Nintendo Switch in 2018.
Two years after Red and Green, Nintendo released Pokémon Yellow, an enhanced version of Red and Blue, in Japan in 1998, and in North America and Europe in 1999 and 2000, respectively. The game was designed to resemble the Pokémon anime series, with the player receiving a Pikachu as their starter Pokémon, and their rival starting with an Eevee. Some non-player characters resemble those from the anime, including Team Rocket’s Jessie and James.
Pokémon Yellow changes and enhances several aspects of the original games. Pikachu is provided as the player’s only starter Pokémon and the character is given both a voice and a personality unique from other Pokémon. The character visually follows behind the player on the overworld, and the player can turn around and speak with it. Pikachu can grow to love or hate the player based on their actions; leveling up will keep Pikachu happy, while fainting frequently will make it unhappy.
This enhanced feature would be used again in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!, the remakes of Pokémon Yellow. Yellow includes a “Pikachu’s Beach” minigame that is only accessible to players who either won a Nintendo contest or complete a challenge in another game, Pokémon Stadium, and exchange data between the games using the Transfer Pak.
Yellow has slightly improved graphics from its predecessors and can print Pokédex entries onto stickers using the Game Boy Printer. Pokémon Yellow was developed by Game Freak and first began development after the completion of the Japanese-only version of Pokémon Blue, which itself followed the Japanese-only versions of Pokémon Red and Green.
