Not sure if this is the 100% best place to put this, so feel free to redirect me if this is better suited in a different thread.
If I was to purchase a virtual console release of Red, Blue, or Yellow, which would grant me access to more desirable version exclusives with Gen I exclusive movesets when transferred to a Gen VII game (VGC and Smogon metas)? I realize that the meta of Gen VII could change this answer, but I'd like to know which is most probable to have better exclusives.
I'd go with Yellow. Unless you really want Electabuzz, in which case go with Red. Yellow is just better overall in my opinion, you get all 3 starters in one run, and the Mew glitch is far far easier on Yellow than it is on Red / Blue. So the main thing for me is how important you think Electabuzz is. I don't think it learns anything interesting. As for stuff like Fissure Machamp, you can get it on every game :P
