I want to play Gen 1 for the first time, although Yellow is the only one on the 3DS eShop. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding:
- Yellow is the third version of Red and Blue, with anime references added in. (you can catch all three starters, you encounter Jesse & James). It runs on the same Gen 1 engine as Red/Blue.
- Fire Red / LeafGreen are remakes of Red and Green (Green is the Japan version of Blue), and runs on the updated Gen 3 engine.
I'd love to see the anime references in Yellow, but if the cons outweighs the pros then I'm willing to go for Fire Red / Leaf Green instead, assuming it can run well from third party means.
