>>39392471that's how yellow was marketed. you were playing as Red/self-inserting as yourself when you played Red and Blue, but the appeal of yellow was that you would get to play as ash!! and follow the anime!!!
other than the fact the team rocket trio is there and you get all 3 starters, once i found out there wasn't actually that much effort in re-jigging the game, it sounded like a basic romhack and i didnt care
like the lead-up made it sound they were gonna add in dark city, that there'd be scripted events with butterfree, etc. i'm pretty sure commercials for the game were just a compilation of anime clips, it was misleading
once my friends bought the game and it was same old i was like fuck that
