It's 99% the same. Yellow adds a few new NPC's.

A few scripted sequences are a bit different (most notably getting your first pokemon) and like 4 nameless rocket trainers get swapped for Jessie/James. Otherwise I think all dialog is intact.

>>10239850
The shit where you're gifted the 3 starters plus you lose some rocket grunts that get replaced by the anime trio blaring off cringe

Just play red and blue

>>10239889

kino

One other thing, Yellow has different Pokedex entries

>>10239850
yellow has better sprites
but is the easiest of the 3 titles

>>10239983
Different sprites *

>>10239983
Don't you get less xp?

>>10239889
>anime trio
Meowth doesn't exist outside of battle

A few trainers' dialogue and teams were changed to reference the anime. For example, there's a trainer referencing AJ on the way to Rock Tunnel that mentions his winning streak and has a Sandshrew that knows Fissure.

>>10239983
>yellow has better sprites
Technically yes, but they look just like the rest of the games but with fewer colors.
Gen 1's jank makes it a unique experience, so I'd rather play with the RB sprites instead of Yellow's.

>>10239850
>>10240261
>Blue starts with an Eevee instead of a normal starter; it evolves based on whether you win, lose, or skip the first two encounters
>Gym Leaders use teams based on their anime episodes; Surge only has Raichu, Sabrina has the whole Abra line in order to imitate its evolving in mid-battle, and so on
>Brock and Misty look like they do in the anime, and Brock mentions wanting to be a Pokemon Breeder
>Mewtwo's cave is completely redesigned

>>10239889
the anime carried pokemon, pokemania literally died when the anime became nothing but filler

>>10241438
>Mewtwo's cave
They changed the layout so many times
>original R/G

>Yellow

The old man in Viridian is different in Yellow. In Red/Blue after delivering Oak's Parcel you can pass him, but have to talk to him for the catching tutorial. In Yellow the tutorial is mandatory.

>>10241493
The old man also leaves after the tutorial so that you can't trigger Missingno glitches.

>>10240281
>Gen 1's jank makes it a unique experience
The English release of red/blue is basically v2 after the japanese green/red while yellow was v3. Why is the level of jank they fixed in the second release okay but the level of jank in the third bad.

>>10241530
You wouldn't be able to trigger the glitch if he stayed. They fixed the bug that actually caused the glitch (basically, right facing shore/water tiles weren't properly coded to check if the local encounters had changed since the last encounter, which is why you could also use the glitch to catch Safari Zone pokemon in normal combat).

>>10241493
>>10241619
He doesn't leave forever. Only the first time you see the tutorial. He comes back later and you can still watch him catch Weedle if you want.

>>10241619
Yeah, but it seems like they wanted to be truly sure.

>>10241541
>Why is the level of jank they fixed in the second release okay but the level of jank in the third bad.
Because Yellow came out after the pokemon designs became standardized and look just like they do in the following games.
I thought that was clear in my first post.

>>10239850
Trainer 1 in the forest says this in RB
>Hey! You have POKEMON! Come on! Let's battle'em
But in Yellow he says
>Hey! You have POKEMON! Come on! Let's battle 'em

Fuck you OP
You just reminded me of how they ruined pokemon in the past years

>>10241541
>Why is the level of jank they fixed in the second release okay but the level of jank in the third bad.
Because RB is not based on the trashime which basically fucked over the whole game series and made it more and more sterile and soulless as time went on.

>misty calls you sweetie
Yellow confirmed as the superior version

>>10241626
Why do they even bother making him leave if they fixed the glitch elsewhere in the code?

Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee is a remake of Yellow in particular with all the tv show stuff mixed in

>>10242561
and she calls you a pest in Gen 2

>>10242561
>misty calls you sweetie
She's known the touch of dick, hasn't she?

>>10243559
>>10242682
>and she calls you a pest in Gen 2
The taste, too, it seems.

>>10239952
/tv/ cross-posters a the worst.

>>10242682
>>10243581
Never forget this: she dates NPCs.

>>10242659
Maybe it's not do with the glitch, they thought it'd add to the sense of realism

>>10243742
>bicycle.jpg
oh come on, she's not THAT bad

>>10243742
???
A STRAIGHT teenager is DATING?!!!!
???

>>10242659
To tell returning players from R/B who know of the glitch "Missingno's not gonna work this time, so don't bother".

>>10243742
Damn whatta whore.
Misty is now worst pokegirl forever.
this got entirely too real wtf why does this always happen to me

>>10239889
More like blasting off.

>>10239873
There's more than that changed. A lot of NPCs have slight differences, like the trainer in Celadon near the mart has an Electrode instead of Slowbro.

>>10239873
>>10239974
this and this, also you have some pikachu' sprites once in a while.

>>10243742
>>10243801
I always thought the "riding-bike" sprite was so hilariously squashed that it looked like you were in a speedy wheelchair, so here I imagine the handicapped MC looking forlornly at Misty as she flaunts her Brock-looking boy toy back at him.

>>10243812
And ironically enough, it does still exist in another form.

>>10239983
>but is the easiest of the 3 titles
Not if you're a kid who didn't know they added Mankey to Route 22
Brock is a real wall if you don't get that mankey or get butterfree with confusion

>>10244801

>>10243742
That's actually me next to her. She's been my girlfriend for 26 years!

>>10245504
Anon actually used the fucking Enter Video Games Machine. God have mercy on his soul.

>>10243708
Cope. Yellow was the best rendition

>>10243742
That's just Brock

>>10245525
Misty NTRing Ash with Brock (despite still having a crush on Ash and having no real feelings for Brock) due to Brock's relative sexual maturity is peak Pokémon.

>>10245548
NTRfags deserve to have their worthless skulls crushed in by a hydraulic lift.

>>10245551
Imagine being Brock in this scenario

>>10245553
Being skull-crushed by a hydraulic lift is NOT okay with Brock's rules.

>>10245490
As a kid I always forgot you could go over there at the start of the game. They really should have nudged you in that direction. So easy to miss that rival fight.

>>10245651
ur dumb

>>10243742
NPCs? What a loser!

>>10245509
>>10245504
What does Misty smell like? I bet way better than Romani. In fact, I bet the Pokemon world smells pretty good, as far as game worlds go. I hope I get isekai'd by Mew's truck some day.

>>10245820
Chlorine probably.

>>10245490
>mankey or get butterfree
Or either Nidoran which learn double kick way earlier in Yellow.

>>10239889
No one is forcing you to use them, if anything it's just easier for dex enties

>>10243813
It's okay to love a slut, anon.
Maybe that's just the kind of woman you're drawn to.
Misty being a slut only makes her better in my book.

>>10244801
Wow, that goes quite a bit harder than the NTR I usually like. But that is some imagination there, anon.
I'm not sure what's heavier: wheelchair mc and their supposed jealousy, or Misty getting off on it, or wheelchair mc being turned on by Misty's exhibitionism. Or all of the above.

>>10245548
This is, in fact, the correct opinion.

>>10245820
Misty probably smells like the male swimmer trainers who frequent her gym, picrel.

>>10239850

Doesn't matter, yellow sucks. The poke sprites are soulless

>>10246185
Yes, but if you were playing the game at release you would have no way of knowing they bumped it down from the 40s
I'm not going to say I was the brightest kid or thought outside the box but I thought I was boned back then

>>10245548
Misty was always Brocks gal though. Ash is with Pikachu

>>10248073
>Yes, but if you were playing the game at release you would have no way of knowing they bumped it down from the 40s
Sure, but in the same vein maybe you cluelessly just caught 5 of some random pokemon along the way and accidentally realised that at least one of them was better than Pikachu against Brock. Mankey is a bit useless in RB too because it only learns normal types moves at that point and Brock doesn't use any rock type moves either.
I admit I just used Butterfree because other kids told me it was the best, though. And it was some good advice because it's useful for a great length after the first gym too.

>>10239889
The big thing is that Pokemon Yellow is MUCH harder than Pokemon Red + Blue.
If you follow the pokemon progression like Ash does in the show it's crazy hard (and really fun).
I just realized making a full JRPG that's a point for point copy of the anime, where Ash walks around with Misty and Brock would be REALLY popular.

>>10248690
>If you follow the pokemon progression like Ash does
Why would you? He's obviously an idiot.

>>10248727
I bet a lot of kids did, assuming it's possible to follow his progression. Probably quite a few got into the game because of the show, Yellow is obviously structured around elements of the show, and Gen 1 was known for being relatively immersive for kids at the right age. It's common for people to create characters in games that are inspired by characters (see how many elf archers named "Legolas" there were), and a Pokemon trainer named Ash would be an obvious choice.

Yellow came out at an awkward time with the anime. When they would have been making it, the Porygon incident had occurred and the last badge Ash had gotten was Koga, so there was no anime inspired version of taking down Giovanni or expansion to Cinnabar island to make Blaine's gym in a volcano.

The Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee remakes at least gave Jesse and James a proper sendoff and teased Archer.

>>10249794
>Retconned from a nameless grunt running an island warehouse to Giovanni's second-in-command
Archer definitely came out better in the post-X/Y timeline.

>>10249665
>I bet a lot of kids did, assuming it's possible to follow his progression
it's not, but you can force it with cheat codes and modifications.

>>10243742
That's the dark timeline where you go and be a hermit on a mountain somewhere.
The canon timeline is Pokemon Psychic Adventures.

>>10249794
That explains why Blaine doesn't use a Magmar. Strange that the anime uses Blaine's beta design minus the military uniform. Giovanni's team likely would've stayed the same even if the anime got that far in time.

>>10249794
>>10249912
Just can't keep a good Archer down...
