In danger of making plenty of you – and us, we might add – feel dangerously old, today marks the 20th anniversary of Pok\u00e9mon Yellow<\/strong><\/a>‘s European launch.<\/p>\n

The game celebrated its ‘proper’ 20th anniversary<\/a> a couple of years ago, thanks to its original Japanese launch date of 12th, September 1998. Those of us in Europe had to wait a little bit longer, but we imagine the Pok\u00e9-memories it made for the franchise’s biggest fans was more than worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Yellow is, of course, an enhanced version of the series’ debut entries, Pok\u00e9mon Red and Blue<\/a><\/strong>. It followed an almost identical plot and was based in the same region, but included small differences that fell in line with the ever-popular anime series that had captured the hearts of fans since Red and Blue’s release.<\/p>\n
