From screenshots, Pokémon Yellow will be released in European languages as a Game Boy Color Virtual Console title, while all other games and the Japanese release of Pokémon Yellow will be Game Boy Virtual Console titles. In European languages, Pokémon Yellow was originally released as a Game Boy Color game that could also be played on Game Boy with some features disabled (although it was marketed as a Game Boy game that was enhanced on the Game Boy Color). In Japanese, Pokémon Yellow was released exclusively as a Game Boy title and did not have any additional features on Game Boy Color. The games do not appear to use the {{bp|Super Game Boy}} palettes.


In Japan, the games will be available at retailers as both download code cards and download code special editions. The download code special editions will include a download code for the game, a special edition box, stickers, a cartridge-shaped magnet, and a map of the Kanto region in the games. Each download code card will retail for ¥1,111 (before tax), and each download code special edition will retail for ¥1,389 (before tax). No details about a retail release outside of Japan have been announced.
