UPNetwork -> Pokémon Video Games -> Pokémon Yellow -> Surfing Pikachu

This mini-game is very addictive and fun! A very cool bonus - but aside from Yellow, you'll need Stadium to access it.

Part 1: Stadium

The requirements for getting a surfing Pikachu are as follows:

1.) You must be competing in the R2 Prime Cup Master Ball Division of POKéMON Stadium.
2.) The Pikachu you use must come right from the Transfer Pak. It will not work with a registered team Pikachu.
3.) Out of the six POKéMON you carry, only three can be selected for each battle. And Pikachu must be one of those three.
4.) However you do not have to actually use Pikachu in any of the battles.
5.) It isn't a problem if you lose a battle and have to continue. That won't count against you.

After you win through the R2 Prime Cup Master Ball Division, you'll have the option to teach your Pikachu Surf. Obviously you need to say yes!

Part 2: Yellow

Now the Stadium business is done so it's back to Yellow and Fuschia City. Make sure Pikachu is still in your team and head to the house by the beach and talk to the man inside to begin the game.

The goal is to get as many points as you can. Sounds simple right? Well there are two kinds of points.

HP Points - You'll begin with 6,000 HP Points and they'll steadily decrease as you surf. Falling off your board will cause a large loss of them.

Radness Points - These are gotten by doing flips.

Single - 50 pts
Double - 150 pts
180° - 180 pts
Triple - 350 pts

The most important thing is to not fall off of your board. Not only will you lose HP Points but also your momentum. Momentum is important for doing the higher scoring flips. There are several different types of waves coming at you through each round so be sure to study and learn which flips are best to use on each type. Landing is also important. Make sure Pikachu's board is in proper alignment with the wave you're about to land on.
