Was going to buy one of the old ones on my 3DS, is yellow much of an improvement on Blue/Red?
Gaming Pokémon Strumfest

Up and downs, graphically a touch better, the three starters all available, some of the spawn points are a bit better.
Follows the TV show though, so Jessie & James pop up for battles often.
It's got Pikachu following you around, what more could do you want?
To be able to evolve it.
Then it wouldn't be Pikachu anymore 
I guess I'll go yellow.
Once you go Yellow you never go back.
Yessir. It'd be improved.Then it wouldn't be Pikachu anymore
I'm very practical when it comes to team building, sometimes terribly so.
I love yellow, my favorite pokemon game actually.
It downloaded in like a second. 
Oh man.
OLLY used NOSTALGIA PUNCH. OLLY is sad.
Well yeah, it's a gameboy game, ffs.It downloaded in like a second.
Your internet must be well fast, @Vidic_In_Moscow.
Anyone ever play the Gameboy games on the Super Gameboy? Thinking of getting one (not just for Pokemon), and thought it might be cool to play them on a TV.
I get that it's a gameboy game smart cnutos, it's just not every day you download a full game so quickly.
I hope the new game has more than 100 new pokemons, honestly felt the last game was underwhelming in that aspect.
Probably be quite a few fairy types, they're still pretty lacking in depth.
Gonna download yellow, never played it!
One bit of advice, that patch of grass on route 22 west of Viridian City has Mankeys(and both Nidorans rather than just one type), really damn helpful at that stage of the game, especially if you pick Charmander.
Oooh good to know. I'll keep an eye on that. You don't pick charmander in yellow though right?
Also Mew being distributed at GAME next month, that's a big one.
That's right. The Pokemon expert is slipping.
In yellow you get all three starters but Charmander can be obtained near Nugget bridge.
Ahhhh, shit, right, Pikachu. Which actually makes it even more important, as even Charmander can damage rocks with his ember because of their shite special stat, Pikachu's attacks won't even land.
I did once beat Brock with nothing but a Pidgy and a Butterfree. Literally destroying his pokemons accuracy with Sand Attack then pecking them off 1hp at a time with tackles.
Idiocy brought on by lack of sleep.

Yeah I played Red and Blue many times, I got Red when it came out.
I had no idea about types then and had picked Bulbasaur so smashed the first two gyms. The amount of times I've tried taking Butterfree into that gym and it just gets flattened
Mew's already at GAME. I got one last week. Level 100. Only knows Pound.

Feck, I remember having this massive official Nintendo guide back then, and it was full of really bad info.
Big one was to take ghosts against Sabrina's psychic pokemon, which makes sense, until you remember that there are no usable ghost attacks, and they're all part poison and get instantly murdered by her. That and Raticates with Dig, only ever using health damaging attacks, using ground Pokemon against Articuno, use Articuno against Blaine. Crazy, crazy shite.

Articuno was my favourite Pokemon for a while. I insisted on fighting everything with it regardless of type.
Use your Master Ball to add hard to catch Pokemon to your team, like Fearow or Tentacruel.
That's so great
Fortunately it can learn every TM & HM. Mine now knows Overheat, Dark Pulse, Earthquake and Psychic.
It's still one of my favourite, sadly that special split was harsh on it, and now it's stats are kind of meh(also because of power creep, of course).
Can't pick Charmander you get Pikachu at the beginning but you do get given all 3 started Pokemon later on in the game, does make the game hard at the start
Yes, we've dealt with that now.
Sorry, noticed it after I posted
Just picked up Bravely Second, somehow gonna play this and Yellow today. I love Sunday's.
I really need to get Bravely Second.
Yeah I can't wait to get home and crack it out, the first one was great, never ended up getting around to the end though
