I want to buy an edition of the very first genes (red, blue, yellow) in the Nintendo eShop. That was my very first game back then, and I don't have any of the games from the Kanto region anymore. So it would be sensible money for me.
Now the question: is there a special reason to buy red or blue and NOT yellow?
I don't want to swap with other players, it's all about experiencing the old feeling again. So I don't have to complete the Pokédex either.
So I would actually tend to yellow. Now I heard in a LetsPlay that yellow had a lower level of difficulty (easier arena ladder, etc.). Since it was a long time ago that I played these games on GameBoy at the time, I can no longer remember whether this was really true.
So can you give me a useful tip? If yellow is really lighter, I'd rather take one of the other two editions.
Try both in an emulator and see which one you like better. ^^
