>>Red and Blue have their designs from Yellow, not R/G.Irrelevant. Gold/Silver were already in development for a year when Yellow came out. Nothing proves us that Yellow isn't using the Gold/Silver/Crystal sprites for Red and Blue, mirrored, given this fact.
>>Red has all starters, only possible in Yellow unless you trade.You already answered the question. Red could have simply traded them over.
>>Pikachu is his highest leveled Pokemon and not evolved, and it's not even holding a light ball. This would imply it's the starter Pikachu.Red has Pikachu because it's the franchise's mascot.
>>Blue uses his R/G team, not his Yellow teamYes.
>>Jessie and James are never mentioned in the Team Rocket revival, which is odd since they're supposed to be very important membersInvalid as Jessie and James don't exist in game canon, even in Yellow.
>>Pikachu is not following Red.Irrelevant.
Yellow was Game Freak's cash-in on the anime's success, that's why it's not canon; it is based on the anime. It also isn't the solitary version of Red/Green as that was Blue. They also released it to buy time to finish Gold/Silver.
Other things in Gold/Silver/Crystal prove that Yellow isn't canon, such as the lack of Summer Beach House on Kanto Route 19 and the NPCs related to the Poliwhirl-for-Jynx in-game trade from Red/Green/Blue still living in the same house in Cerulean City.
