Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition is a 1999 role-playing game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Color. It is part of the first generation of the Pokémon franchise, and an updated re-release of the original 1998 games Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version, incorporating content loosely based on the Pokémon anime. The 2016 Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console re-release of the game was played by The D-Pad in 2016. The LP takes the form of a solo Nuzlocke played by Rick, and is not part of the existing Pokémon Rivals Nuzlocke series. Episodes were streamed live on The D-Pad's YouTube channel. The LP consisted of 4 episodes; it began on February 27, 2016, and the most recent was uploaded on August 21, 2018. Rick has indicated his intention to eventually finish the LP.

Trivia
- Although initially intended to be a weekly stream, Pokémon Yellow developed one of the most inconsistent schedules of any LP on the channel, with 18 months passing between episodes in one instance.
- At just over 10 hours, the first episode of the LP was, until the 25-hour livestream of Super Mario Odyssey, the longest video the channel had ever produced.
- Due to YouTube limitations on video length mandating Super Mario Odyssey be split into three segments after the initial Twitch stream, the first episode of this series remains the longest YouTube video on the channel.
