Keep Pikachu Happy

In Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition, every Trainer begins his or her quest to become the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer with Pikachu. Since Pikachu refuses to be carried around in a Poké Ball, you can watch it as it follows your character around the screen.
 

 
You can look at Pikachu any time you like to see how it's doing. Sometimes it will be happy, and occasionally it will be sad depending on how you treat it. You'll receive special rewards if your Pikachu is in a good mood, so it's important to treat it right.
 
Here are some tips you can follow to make sure that your Pikachu is a happy Pikachu:
 Heal Pikachu immediately if it is damaged by a long-lasting special attack such as Burn or Poison
 Keep Pikachu in your active line-up
 Allow Pikachu to fight first in every battle
 Pikachu gets happier as it gains experience
Hang six, Pikachu!
Below Fuchsia City there is a small shack where a man named Dude lives. Dude will ask you if you want to surf, but only if you have a special Pokémon called Surfing Pikachu.
 
This ultra-rare Pokémon is similar to Mew, in that the only way to get it is to have it put on your Game Pak by an official Nintendo representative. If you're lucky enough to get it, you can take Pikachu surfing near Dude's shack. Surfing Pikachu can perform all kinds of tricks on the waves, and it's the only Pikachu that can use Water-type attacks.
 

 
Keep an eye on Nintendo Power Magazine and this website for more information on how to get Surfing Pikachu added to your Game Pak.
