Pokémon Red, Blue, & Yellow

[Nebbles]

If I got Blue, I'd want to recreate my original team as much as possible, but I only really remember... Blastoise, Pidgeot and maybe Butterfree? I just do not remember anything at all.

After getting all three, I plan to play blue first as a nostalgic run, then yellow since it had a slightly different storyline, then finish up with the nuzlock red run.

you probably also had a nidoqueen, wigglytuff, and Primeape

[Nebbles]

I don't think I did, actually. I remember wanting a Vulpix? But I'm not sure if it was on my team.

Silly you can't find Primeape or Mankey in Blue. They're exclusive to Red, while Meowth abd Persian is exclusive to Blue.

Nah both are in both in FRLG

I'm going with Yellow, since that one has never been revisited in any way, shape or form before now, it's less buggy than R/B, the Pokemon look like Pokemon, and it's a GBC game. Would rather have Crystal (As I never played it before) but I'll happily take Yellow.

^ OMG dude you need to get your hands on Crystal. One of my favorite games of all time. Will forever be my favorite Pokemon game. If I tried to explain why it would become a huge write-up so I think I'll pass on that.
But since this is a RBY topic, is Yellow really that different from Red and Blue? Is it sort of like Crystal vs. Gold and Silver? Really looking forward to playing it either way.

[Nebbles]

The main differences are that you start with Pikachu, you can get all three starters, there's a slight graphics update to the front sprites for the Pokemon... and I think a few version exclusives are trained. Those are about the main differences I remember, minus Jessie and James making cameos.

also gary gets an eevee, and there are COLORS

Yeah, both Mankey/Primeape and Meowth/Persian are in both FireRed and LeafGreen. But in the original Red and Blue games, the Pokémon exclusive to each game differed from the remakes.

Out of the fifteen people who voted in the poll, here were the results:

Three are downloading only Pokémon Red.
One is downloading only Pokémon Blue.
Four are downloading only Pokémon Yellow.
Three are downloading all three games.
Four aren't downloading any of them.

Next up--which starter will you be choosing? If you're getting multiple games, then choose the starter that your "main game" will have.

I don't know that I've ever beaten a gen 1 game (original or remakes) with a Bulbasaur. I have used Charmander and Squirtle (and Pikachu) though, so Bulbasaur it is.
