Thank-You PokeCute!

Intro

Instead of Jigglypuff/Nidoran and Snorlax/Gengar (is it?) battling, you get to see a darkened Pokémon running at you on all fours. As it gets closer, you realise it's PIKACHU! During this various clips are shown of him doing a flying kick, riding a surfboard, flying on balloons, and then it shows him close up, and his cheeks start to spark, and then he lets rip with a Giant thundershock! The title screen then comes on, which is Pikachu saying Pikachu (duh). It has new music too, sounds similar to the casino in Celadon City. Much better intro.

Graphics

EVERY Pokémon in the Pokédex has been redrawn and they look a lot better. Also, Gary changes art throughout the game. Not the sprite onscreen, but the picture of him during a battle. There are three different drawings. Brock too is different (i.e. he is wearing a shirt), and Misty also looks similar to the show (the shirt with the straps on, no bathing suit for her
anymore).

Starting Pokémon

Instead of choosing between Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur at the beginning, Professor Oak stops you at the grass (you get to move one step further too. Ooooh :) ) and then captures a Pikachu! He brings it back to his lab and then lets you have it! As for Gary (your rival) if you look at the Pokeball on the desk, he shoves you out of the way and takes it. It's an Eevee! Then you fight. Later in the game, after battling Gary 3 times more, when you face him in the Silph Co. Building, his Eevee will have evolved into one of it's three other forms (Flareon in my case). Whether or not his choice of Pokémon change based on what Eevee he plans on getting is unknown. The team Gary faced me with at the end of the game was: Sandslash, Alkazam,
Exeggutor, Magneton, Cloyster, Flareon.

Pikachu

Pika-pi! Of course, the game is mostly about Pikachu now, so of course he has new stuff!

Talking to Pikachu

Pikachu follows you around on the map! Unless he fainted. You can talk to him at any time, bringing up a picture of his face, showing if he is happy or sad. If happy, sprite on the main screen will jump up and down, really fast if super happy! If really upset he will turn around and not look at you! When he sees Bill The Pokemaniac as a Pokémon, question marks appear over his head! And when you go to the Pokémon meeting in Vermillion City, love hearts appear when he
sees the other Pokémon!

Pikachu's Moves

Pikachu learns new moves! Chief amongst them is Thunderbolt, which he gets at level 26. Here is the list of his moves:
