Your first battle is seemly difficult. People playing Red or Blue will have a tough match ahead of them, since your rival has shrewdly chosen the Pokémon that has an type advantage over yours (although it doesn't know any moves of its own type yet), however, he might have the better stats to defeat you such as Charmander having better speed over Bulbasaur or Squirtle using its superior defense to take in Charmander's hits. In Yellow, this one can be luck based. While Pikachu has a poor defense which lets it get hit harder by Eevee, Pikachu also has the higher speed, thus allowing it to get a critical hit more often. Fortunately, your rival isn't much of a fighter, and wastes time with stat-based techniques like Growl and Tail Whip instead of just choosing the attacks and going for the quick K.O. Using a stat-based technique is fine at the beginning of the battle, but is usually a bad idea afterwards. In case if your rival is hitting hard, you can also use that Potion if you need to. | Your first battle is seemly difficult.

And you'll get plenty of opportunities for a rematch. Also, in the Yellow Version, your Pikachu pops out of its Pokéball and Oak says that keeping your Pikachu out of its Pokéball would make it happy. If you want to talk to Pikachu, it will show you its current mood (at first it doesn't really seem used to you but your relationship will grow better later depending if you treat Pikachu well). | ||
