I have both Blue & Yellow and my brothher has Red and Stadium. Out of Red and Blue I'd say Blue is better as not as many people have it and you cancreate surprising squads out of the 11 blue only Pokémon. E.G. Persian, Victreebell, Magmar...etc..
I still think Yellow is better though, especially if you have a GB color as the game is in full colour and Pikachu can talk, follow you, surf..etc. It's the only version which allows you to teach Charizard Fly. The good thing with BLue and Red is that they can also be played in full colour on a Super gameboy SNES cart. Red, blue and yellow all have a cool background once played on the Super Gameboy.
Pokémon Stadium is better if you have any one of the Gameboy versions.
Pokémon Snap isn't out in the UK yet so I haven't played it yet.
But why hasn't anyone mentioned Pokémon Pinball? I got it from the USofA and it's the best pinball game out for any format . Ok the music isn't PC quality but the gameplay is excellent and the gameboy cart has an inbuilt Rumble Pak (requires 1 AAA battery). It's great as it's one of the first games for the Gameboy Colour but Rumble feature automatically turns off on the SNES. As well as Yellow version, Pikachu talks. The game has a red and blue table and some of the pokémon you can only catch on the onetable (just like the normal GB game). To make it up to yellow version owners, it has a Yellow box.

If you have any questions about Pokémon then reply to this message and I will try to answer them. Beware though, I do not work for Nintendo, Creatures, Game-Freak or Hal Laboratories so none of my answers can be classed as official but what I say should work. E.G. The cloning cheat on this discussion forum does work for all gameboy Pokémon Carts but I don't know if it works on the N64 trade centre as I only have one Transfer pack.
You need to complete Prime cup and Poké cup on the masterball hardness. Then complete Pika and Petit Cups (there is only one hardness). Then Beat Gym leader castle including Elite 4 and Rival. Now beat the almighty Mewtwo (preferably with another Lvl100 Mewtwo). Once you have done that you will be on 'round two' mode. Go to Prime Cup and beat it on masterball hardness using a Yellow version Pikachu without registering Pokémon (basically off the GB cart) (you still have to do Pokéball, Greatball and Ultraball). When you have done this you will be asked if you want to teach Pikachu Surf. Go to Yes and it will be taught exactly like it would be using a HM. Now when you play the GB version, Fly to fucha city and walk down to rt19. Go in the hut by the water and talk to the man, he will ask you if you want to surf. Yuo will now have the surfing Pikachu game. Pikachu will surf on a surfboard in the minigame and when surfing normally.
To clone your Pokémon follow these steps:
1.The person with the Pokémon to be cloned wait patiently.
2.The other person catch a very common Pokémon eg.Pidgey or Spearow
3.Connect gameboys using link cable
4.Go to the trade room
5.Whilst actually trading, Person from step 1 get ready to turn gameboy off.
6.When both pokémon have been traded the screen will go blank for a split second before it says Trade complete. Person from step 1 turn off gameboy whilst the screen is blank.
7. You'll know if it's worked because the second gameboy will have paused with the words "Trade Complete".
8.Person 2 turn off gameboy.
9.When both gameboys are turned back on, the common Pokémon will have been set free as it will not be on the cart but both people will have the pokémon that person 1 started with.
This works with all formats. If it doesn't work first time try it again. Once you know how to do it, it's easy.

I completed Pokémon Yellow ages ago as I got it on import even though I had Pokémon Blue already. I was just wondering how many people have got all 150 Pokémon, beaten the Elite 4 and taught Pikachu the great move Surf without using any form of cheating? ie.Gameshark
If you got Mew then even better. I'm going to get a cheat-cart soon for my GBC so I can get Mew without having to go to any events which seem to take place nowhere near where I live.

What is the Pokemon game? Do you think Red\Blue or Yellow or Pokemon Stadium or if you're lucky you might have Pokemon Snap. Please rate Pokemon Red, Blue and yellow as the same game because most people say that yellow's better but do say if you prefer R\B. My favourite is Pokemon R\B. This is Because I haven't played on Pokemon stadium or Snap. The reason I think they are better than Yellow is because you get given charmander, squirtle, bulbasaur and an extremely powerful Pikachu in Yellow which CAN lead to someone going for a squad like Blastoise, Vnusaur, Charizard, Pikachu,Articuno and Mewtwo. I think people that do this should be more imaginative and use different Pokemon. It's also beneficial for you because most people won't suspect a "non-standard" team.
