Moving onto Yellow. The Game Freak jingle is brand new again, there's no SFX in the intro, and we get the Pikachu cry. Why they let the noise channel going during it, I have no idea, but it seems intentional.

Notice some notes that seem to cut short in the intro song? They coincide with scene changes. Pokémon Yellow was originally designed for Super Game Boy, which has a significantly longer delay when setting new palettes. Game Boy Color support was added for the international release only, and the song wasn't adjusted.

There are no differences in the title screen song, so you don't have to try to look for any. However, it does fade out shortly after the first loop and the game repeats the intro, instead of being infinite like in Red/Green/Blue.
