Is there any reason not to choose the 'definitive'

Because you can play FRLG and HGSS instead of Yellow and Crystal.
Also BW and BW2 are different games entirely, so you might as well play both.

No Mareep.

Not really aside from nostalgia purposes. Maybe Red/Blue instead of Yellow because it's different but not necessarily in a superior or inferior way.

1 suck dick though, Gen 5 wasn't even worth playing till B2W2

>>379637212
If you're going back to replay that gen, no. If you're playing them as they come out you'll want to have the most recent game for things like tournaments.

Red & Blue > Yellow

the only definitive edition I don't play is Yellow because I fucking hate being forced to have a Pikachu that can't evolve as my starter

How does emulation affect gen 2's date/time mechanics?
Is there any way to spoof a trade with a ROM to get a trade only evo?

The clock matches your computer's clock

Well you have to wait longer for it. Else than that no, they are superior in every way.
