Alright Oldfags gimme some advice. Are RB worth playing over Yellow, is Yellow different enough to be consider its own game and not something similar to Emerald/Platinum where it is just flat out better.
Gen 1 is the only Gen I have never touched and I wanna play it soon.

Yellow is its own game unlike Emerald is to R/S or Plat is to D/P. You get all the starters and Team Rocket is there iirc. Just pick red or blue and play it from then but you're prob better off playing FR/LG.

Try Red or Blue for the sake of seeing the beginning. See the game for what it was, a fun little RPG that single handedly resurged interest in an aging handheld. People who joined later only see it as "le broken mess that is literally unplayable." Not saying everyone who started later does that, but it's still infuriating seeing people downplay everything they did just because of some annoying people that hated everything after the first 151. It's like if someone who started with Mario World talked shit and gave no respect to Mario 1.

Persian is exclusive to Blue version, so make sure you play that one, or at least have pkhex to add it in if you're emulating. Yellow does have a few interesting changes, such as a number of Team Rocket battles replaced with Jessie and James, access to all 3 Kanto starters, and gym leader team/level changes. As for pokemon, I'd suggest grabbing a Nido of some sort, they're excellent in all Kanto games.

I prefer Red/Blue because there's a quieter, more mysterious atmosphere that feels unique to this game.
Yellow added anime cameos and took away some of the charm of that world.
It's like they altered RB to match the kind of vibrant, consumerist kiddy vibe of Pokemania. Which can be charming if you like that.

you can box Pikachu and get all 3 of the RB starters.

Gen 1 is janky as fuck overall but this Anon is right in that RB are super interesting being the only Pokemon games that are their own thing and not designed from the framework of late 90s Pokemania and the franchise empire it transformed into

If it were 1997, there would be more value in Yellow if you wanted all the starters and didn't have a second Gameboy to trade with yourself. Aside from that you need both Red and Blue versions to catch em all (since Pink was scrapped.) In 2023 you can PKhex all 3 starters into your party.

RB is better, getting handed each starter makes the experience worse. There just isn't anything Yellow has over RB other than new sprites.

Yellow is pretty much a sidegrade to RB, there is no definitive better way to play gen 1.
I personally love the original sprites and hate how they neutered them in yellow for the sake of imitating the anime, so I'd recomend RB. Make sure you check the version exclusive mons if you're planning your team in advance, do not stress about completing the pokedex or defeating everyone, you can easily enter the hall of fame with a team in their late 30s/early 40s, have fun.

Persian doesn't get Slash until level 51 so just a warning, you'll probably go through all 8 badges with it feeling like deadweight.

TMs you can get after badges 2 and 3 include rock slide, ice beam, body slam, tri attack, bubblebeam, thunderbolt, dig (100 BP in gen 1). Definitely one of the best parts of the game; all the other pokemon games gatekeep all the fun (good) TMs till much later

Best advice I can give you is to play on real hardware so you can link with Stadium for the full experience. Doing anything else is gimping yourself.

loading your Nidoking up with near perfect coverage TMs before it's even level 25 and obliterating everything the game throws at you is a rite of passage for RB

one non-gimmicky thing yellow had over RB was a port of those game's SGB palettes to the gameboy color. but if you're not playing on actual hardware then you can get the same thing (actually less overly saturated) on RB by just playing in super gameboy mode

RB was kind of rushed, and an example is the trainer Pokémon movesets.

In Red and Blue, trainers will just have the moves their Pokémon would learn naturally at their levels. For example, in the final battle against Champion Blue, his Exceggutor only has Barrage, Hypnosis and Stomp, which are the tree moves a Exceggutor learns by itself. His Rhydon only has Tail Whip, Horn Attack, Leer and Horn Drill, which are the last four moves it learns by leveling up.

Graphic wise it's also worse. GJ080T

I liked doing that for Clefable. Thunderbolt by gym 3, Bubblebeam as additional coverage until you're able to make it until Celadon, you can even fit on Sing if you want.

It's effectively Gen 1's post-game, sort of like the Battle Frontier. There's also minigames and useful features like extra item storage and you can get some gift Pokemon before you even beat your Gen 1 game.

Yellow has quite a few quality of life changes over R/B, most notably some movesets in pokemon like Mankey, Cubone, Venonat and the Nidorans, which might make you want to play this one. If you decide to play Yellow don't use Pikachu though.
Keep in mind it's a completely different game from R/B and so I would play both if I were you.

Pick up a geodude, comes in early in game and hits like a truck throughout the entire game thanks to stat exp. Learning earthquake via level up in its 30s is amazing given the shit movepools to work with.

Yep, the old system is pretty kino, any pokemon you use as early as you get them typically even out in stats by the time you get to league ex fearow vs dodrio, while on paper dodrio has higher base stats, a spearow if caught outside Viridian, will still have as much attack/speed vs catching a doduo at LVL 25. It's a system that works on the players favour so their favorite "shitmon" is still viable
