I'll bite, OP.
I replayed Yellow last year when the Virtual Console release launched. It was the first time I actually got through a Pokemon game entirely on my own without someone fucking with my save, using a Game Shark, hijacking my game and crushing the Elite 4 so they could transfer a ditto, etc. Really liked it start to finish. Yeah, Gen I is broken, but it's easy to avoid most of the glitches. The adventuring aspects are minimally enough that it's possible to build a team with all HM options available, as well as dig and teleport, without totally crippling yourself. Only problem I have with it is the end game grinding (or item and luck-based all level 45 run) and the lack of any real post-game after catching Mewtwo, aside from all the Pokemon to catch in areas you've already played to death.
I remember getting the Gen II games when they came out, but I never got far. It's a little hard making time for games with a career in software development and all that jazz, but I do what I can and I legitimately love all the programming shenanigans behind these games. I wish they'd patch Gen II for Virtual Console and just link the time to the 3DS clock. It wouldn't be that hard to emulate with a few adjustments. Then again, using the coin case can make the game shit itself.
What is the most goofy and fun way to get through the Stadium games? I know Mewtwo wrecks face but I recall a lot of those battles being absolute horseshit otherwise.
