Pokemon Yellow Bullet Review

Overview and Facts:

• It's considered as first generation, but the fact is that it's actually the third integration of the game with the first being: Pocket Monsters Green and Blue and the second being: Pokemon Red and Blue
• This game has been remade as Pokemon Let's go Pikachu and Let's go Eevee, but with changed formulas and as a spin off
• While the previous entries follow the story of Red, this one has slight changes to follow the story of Ash from the Anime series
  

Pros:

• Great improvement over the base version (Blue/Red)
• Updated Pokemon Sprites
  
• Better color palette
• Backwards compatible with Blue/Red
• Can get all three starters (Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squitle)
• Fixed glitches like MissingNo
• Gym Leader's Pokemon changed to match the Anime series teams
• Jessie and James addition
  

Cons:

• Bad Starter (Pikachu)
• No explanation for physical and special moves
  
• No IV - EV explanation
• No STAB explanation
  
• No use for friendship stat even though it exists
• Bug Pokemon have limited move set
• Punches use Special stat (makes Pokemon like Hitmonchan bad to use and others like Alakazam Overpowered)
• Post game only includes Mewtwo
• Cannot complete legitimately unless hacked for Mew and other Pokemon available on other cartridges
• You can't get trade evolution Pokemon without having a second console or a friend who owns one
• Easy to skip parts, like getting the Flash HM and have a bad time in the cave it is needed
  
• Cannot check what a move does or what its power is before learning it
  

Neutral:

•  No Special split (Special defines both special attack and defense) Makes high special attackers very bulky
• You can search online for explanations regarding STAB, IV, EV and move type which will make your playthrough better

Verdict:

The game is an absolute must play. If you have already played later generations of Pokemon games you will find it a bit difficult to adjust, not having the quality of life upgrades those had.
