As some other people have posted, I emulated Ash's team from the anime. I made sure to have Pidgeotto and Butterfree before I got to Brock. Only exception was that I let all the 3 starters evolve to final form.
 
I traded with my cousin and we stoned our Pikachus for each other then trade back.

I was a kid back then and got annoyed the already-Raichu stopped following me behind.
 
The game was based around Pikachu so why would I get rid of him? Sure he wasn't the best but he was adorable and made for a valuable team member :D
 
Anyone who says pikachu was weak is wrong.
I didn't had any problem keeping him.
It would always send team rocket blasting off with one attack every pokemon.
And even lorelei's pokemon didn't stand a chance against pikachu if u train him to at least lv. 70.
 
Pikachu is kind of the entire main point of Yellow, isn't it? I mean, the redone sprites are nice and all, but the game was basically a beta-testing of the would-be Friendship System.
That said, I did try to get rid of the critter once... only to instantly put him back in my team. I was already attached to it.
 
Yes, I have get rid of that pain in the you know what..... Hated training it, just hating it today too.
 
nah bc i used it so much, it was a high level so i thought, what the hell why not keep it?
 
Yes, I got rid of my Pikachu. Only because I thought it would be rebellious and also I'm not a fan of Pikachu so I don't really care for it.
 
Back in the days when I was a kid I obviously kept Pikachu. Didn't even think about getting rid of him.
The last time I played I didn't use him though. I never checked his stats, but I never thought Pikachu was a great Pokémon. It's not very interesting either.

Last time I played yellow (that was 2 years ago) I had the easiest playthrough of all time. Probably because for the majority of the game I only kept 3 Pokémon in my team. That did a huge difference.
I finished the game with this team:
Tentacruel (lvl 44)
Haunter (lvl 46)
Zapdos (lvl 57)
Dugtrio (lvl42)
Charizard (lvl 38)
Farfetch'd (lvl 36)

Actually I didn't even use Dugtrio, Charizard or Farfetch'd for the Top 4 etc. because Tentacruel, Haunter and Zapdos did everything on their own.


If I would play yellow edition again I would get rid of Pikachu at the latest after beating Misty.

Pikachu Is my second favorite Pokemon So yeah I kept him, AND It is a good pokemon Because of its high Speed :)
 
I never got deposited my beloved Sparky! It tottled along behind me from pallet town all the way through the elite four, and it did a pretty good job too! I always used to feel really bad if it got poisoned or burnt cuz it's poor little face looked so sad! My fave expression it did was when it had a flowerpot on its head.
 
I went through once and evolved it into Raichu but regretted it and started over. In the end I had a level 93 Pikachu
 
Get rid of Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow? No way, when the game came out I was in grade 5, my life was all Pokemon and Pika Pika. I kept him around, made me feel like I was playing the anime.
 
I did not, I was blinded by the fanboyism at the time. However I still usually have a pikachu on my team, it is a rather good electric type pokemon in my opinion.
