1. Surfing pikachu

Trade your partner pikachu from pokémon yellow to a RBY/GSC game on a hacked 3DS. Then you have many options:

• Use PKSM to give it surf.
• The most fun way is to emulate a transfer pak and play Pokémon Stadium until you can defeated Prime Cup Round 2 with Pikachu on your team and then teach surf to him.
• The most expensive way is to use GBxCart or GB Operator to load put the pikachu on a cartridge, then play pokémon stadium with all the original hardware and defeated Prime Cup Round 2 with Pikachu on your team and then teach surf to him.

Then just load back the save file to the hacked 3DS and trade back the surfing pikachu to your legimitate copy of Yellow on the 3DS.

During his youth, Satoshi Tajiri was obsessed with bugs. Growing up in suburban Tokyo, he became so engrossed by wandering through forests and collecting insects that he was once referred to as “Dr. Bug”. Eventually the forests he once foraged in were urbanized, but his love for collecting the smallest of creatures never faded.

>Fast forward to 1990. Tariji, now the co-founder of developer Game Freak, pitched Nintendo a game where players would capture monsters in pocket-sized capsules and trade their collection with friends. And how would you trade with friends? Taijiri planned to use what he considered to be the Game Boy’s most underappreciated accessory, the Game Link Cable. He’d always imagined bugs crawling along the wire, from one Game Boy to another, when watching two people play together on the train. The real heart of the idea, though, stemmed from Tajiri’s experience with Dragon Quest 2, which saw him trying and ultimately failing to earn a rare item. He wished that he could just trade for the item with a friend instead of trying to earn it himself. These two thoughts eventually became the core building blocks of the original pitch for “Capsule Monsters.”

The link feature is essential to the pokémon franchise. The core game series, side games and connection between them creates an ecosystem. This ecosystem is broken with the release of the GBA games. In my opinion the Classic Pokémon games and peripherals in this ecosystem are:

Pocket Monsters Red & Green

The first releases introduced the link feature between each other. They also link with:

1. Time Capsule (Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal)
2. Super Game Boy (Custom borders)
3. Super Game Boy 2 (Link feature and custom borders)
4. Game Boy Player
5. Transfer Pak (Pokémon Stadium Zero, Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2)
6. Game Boy Printer

The most notable difference between them and the others releases are the Pokémon Sprites.

Pocket Monsters Blue

Among all enhancements, the most notable difference is the unique encounter table.

Pokémon Red & Blue

The international versions have the graphical upgrades from Pocket Monsters Blue, but kept the same encounter tables from Pocket Monsters Red and Green.

Players may trade Pokémon between two cartridges or battle with another cartridge using a Game Boy Game Link Cable. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to other Generation I games and others require trading to evolve, making trading necessary to complete the Pokédex. The game can trade and battle with Japanese versions of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. It can also trade with Japanese versions of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal via the Time Capsule.

Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game without causing corruption. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since neither game fully encodes both kana and the Latin alphabet (only encoding one fully and the other partially). If a battle between a Japanese game and a non-Japanese game is attempted, the battle simply does not work, with the save files left unharmed.

Pokémon Yellow

The last kanto games and the most unique release, among all the various changes, one of the most interesting is Pikachu's beach. Playing it requires a Pikachu that knows Surf in the party; The only legitimate ways to obtain a Pikachu that knows Surf in Yellow are through Pokémon Stadium or an event distribution. You can also print you score on the minigame.

Pokémon Stadium Zero (Pocket Monsters Stadium)

There are only 40 Pokémon available for battles. If the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a Pikachu in their party, that Pikachu can learn Surf.

Pokémon Stadium (Pocket Monsters Stadium 2)

When you defeat the Gym Leader Castle, defeating the Elite Four and your Rival, you will get a special gift of a Pokémon. These Pokémon are the rare Pokémon of which you get a choice between them within the games. As such, if you don't have access to friends with the games, you may not get. These Pokémon are chosen at random and you can defeat the Elite Four & Rival repeatedly in order to get the following Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Eevee, Omanyte and Kabuto. Also, when you register all the 151 pokémon on the Hall of Fame you get a Amnesia Psyduck. All of the listed Pokémon have an unique OT.

There is a special feature when you complete the Prime Cup MasterBall tournament in Round 2. If you defeat the Master Ball division with Pikachu in your team, with it as one of the 3 Pokémon you choose in each of the battles, you will get given the chance to teach Pikachu the special move Surf. This move can only be taught to Pikachu that have been used from Pokémon Green, Red, Blue or Yellow. Pikachu in registered teams or rental Pikachu cannot be used for this. The Surfing Pikachu can then be used to access a special mini-game within the game Pokémon Yellow.

The Doduo Game Boy Tower allows games to be played at twice the speed, while the Dodrio Game Boy Tower allows games to be played at three times the speed.

Pokémon Snap Station

This station was a kiosk found at most Blockbuster Video stores which allowed players to print out their photos taken from Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Stadium.

Also, pokémon can learn moves impossible to naturally learn in Gen 1 and then be traded back to Gen 1.

Pocket Monsters Crystal

The unique feature of this release was the Pokémon Communication Center and connectivity with the Mobile Adapter GB, the possibility of online multiplayer, online trading and the distribution of the GS Ball.
Some projects are restoring this functionality on international versions.

Pokémon Crystal

The ultimate classic Pokémon game. This is when society peaked.

Pocket Monsters Stadium G&S

The Japanese version connects to Pokémon Crystal, allowing the player to view saved battles from that game that were performed through the Mobile System GB connection. This feature uses a special stadium called the Mobile Stadium.

Pokémon Stadium 2

The player may use the Transfer Pak to connect this game with all Generation I and II core series games, depending on their language.

The following special pokémon can be obtained as prizes: Baton Pass Farfetch'd and Earthquake Gligar.

Like the previous Pokémon Stadium, Doduo and Dodrio Game Boy are unlockable features which speed up gameplay. New borders can also be unlocked.

Mystery Gift

When Mystery Gift is used to connect to another Generation II core series game, each of the connected games will receive a random item, and the opponent in the Trainer House will be replaced by that other player. When it is used to connect to Pokémon Stadium 2, the handheld game will receive an item; some items can only be received when communicating with Stadium 2. When connecting to Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS, the player decides on a number of Watts to transfer from the device, and the item received will depend on the amount of transferred Watts.

Carrie is a little girl who appears in the Generation II games. She is a frequent visitor of the Goldenrod Department Store, and loves to use Mystery Gift with people, and when talked to, Mystery Gift will be unlocked. She appears in Pokémon Stadium 2 to Mystery Gift with the player through the Transfer Pak.

As with any user of Mystery Gift, she will appear in Viridian City's Trainer House if she was the last person the player used Mystery Gift with. Also, as with any character battled in the Trainer House, her sprite will appear as Ethan's Gold and Silver sprite (including in Pokémon Crystal, which uses a different sprite for Ethan himself).

Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS

The toy also communicates with Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal's Mystery Gift feature via infrared. The player selects a number of Watts to transfer, and different items result from transferring different amounts of Watts. This is the only way outside of random Mystery Gift exchanges the MiracleBerry can be obtained.

Mobile Adapter GB

As said above, it was used for Japanes Pocket Monsters Crystal and Pocket Monsters Stadium G&S.

Game Boy Printer

The Game Boy Printer is compatible with Pokémon Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal. In these games, the following images can be printed:

• Pokédex stickers
• Diplomas
• Pokémon Storage System Boxes
• Party Pokémon
• Pikachu's Beach hi-score
• Mail
• Alph Ruins StampsSuper Game Boy, Super Game Boy 2 and Game Boy Player

The Super Game Boy borders used in Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Gold and Silver Versions are also used in the Game Boy Tower feature from the Pokémon Stadium series.

Super Game Boy 2 has game link capability, allowing it to link to a Game Boy to play multiplayer games; it can also use the Game Boy Camera and Game Boy Printer with this link port. It cannot play Game Boy Color games, except those that can also be played on Game Boy

Due to backward compatibility, all Pokémon games from Game Boy and Game Boy Color are also playable on the Game Boy Player.

GS Ball Event

The best way to get the GS Ball event is to convert your crystal save file to the 3DS virtual console releases.
