2nd Gen pokemon yellow question

[bringbackthe90s]

How can I teach my Pikachu surf? Now I know where to get the move surf, but I know that the game needs tweaking to get the Pokémon to learn it. I don't currently own a N64, and I don't really like the idea of using a cheat cartridge until I've defeated the Elite Four just to add final touches to the Pokédex. Any idea on how I can do this?

You cant do it in that game without cheating, the only other way is to get pokemon box and put a lot of pokemon in it and you will revieve a surfing Pichu. That obviously has nothing to do with pokemon yellow, but you need to cheat as far as I know in that game.

Hmm I guess I'll have to use Gameshark if there's no other way..

Don't you have to beat that mini game at the bottom of fuscia or something?
I remember you needed somthing important, but if you beat the game he gives you a pikachu that knows surf.

When you have one you can play the surfing pikachu game.

Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition Hint: Get Surfing Pikachu
Did you ever notice the small house at the northern beach of Route 19 that wasn't in Pokémon Blue and Red? This hut is home to the infamous "Surfing Pikachu" mini-game. Here's the deal: if your Pikachu knows Surf, you can play the mini-game Pikachu's Beach right here. The only problem is that Pikachu can't learn Surf... Well, at least not in Pokémon Yellow. Here's how you get Surfing Pikachu (outside of winning a Nintendo Pokemon contest): Surfing Pikachu is hidden in Pokémon Stadium for the Nintendo 64. To teach your Pikachu Surf (a technique it can normally not learn), you need to first unlock the R-2 (Round 2) mode. Then do the following:

• Enter the R-2 Prime Cup's Master Ball division (you have to beat the first three divisions first).
• Assemble a team that contains a Pikachu that does not yet know Surf. You HAVE to use a Pikachu from your Game Boy game. You cannot unlock Surfing Pikachu using a Rental Pokémon. Do not register your team! Pick it directly from your Game Boy cartridge.
• You now have to beat the Prime Cup's Master Ball division using a three-Pokémon team that always contains Pikachu. Pikachu has to be in every one of the eight battles.
• You are not allowed to use any continues. If you do, you won't get Surfing Pikachu.

Once you have fulfilled all the above conditions, you are shown an award screen with Pikachu standing on a surfboard. From here on, Pikachu can use the Surf technique both in battle and during gameplay (Game Boy versions only). In Pokémon Yellow, you can now also access the hidden Surfing Pikachu mini-game. Simply go to the small hut on the northern beach of Route 19 and talk to the guy inside.
There is also a GameShark code that lets you access Surfing Pikachu, but we advise against using it, since it can mess up your Pokédex and save data. It's not worth the trouble
