<P> Like Pokémon Red and Blue , Yellow takes place in the region of Kanto , which features habitats for 151 Pokémon species . The objectives remain the same as well , though some differences exist along the way . For example , in the beginning , the player is not given an option of choosing one of three starter Pokémon . Instead , a wild Pikachu that Professor Oak catches becomes the player 's starter Pokémon , while the rival character takes an Eevee . The plot is loosely based on the Indigo League saga of the anime , and features characters that were not featured in the game or have been enhanced to resemble their designs used in the anime , including Jessie , James , Meowth , Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny . Similar to the anime , Pikachu refuses to evolve . Players are also given the opportunity to obtain the original three starters . As players quest on , they gradually progress catching Pokémon for the Pokédex which you use to defeat the eight Gym Leaders and eventually the Elite Four , all the while battling Team Rocket , a gang devoted to using Pokémon in order to make themselves more powerful . By the time of the encounter with the Elite Four the player has had the opportunity to capture 149 types of Pokémon ; in the after game ( after the Elite Four is defeated ) a player may enter Cerulean Cave , where Mewtwo , the final Pokémon in regular gameplay , can be found , battled and captured . The last Pokémon in the Pokédex , Mew , can not be captured during ordinary gameplay , though exploiting bugs in the game makes this possible . </P>
