As usual, pokespe never misses when it comes to ending an arc. This is a perfect finale for gen 1.
Yellow is an interesting character, being the first "original" character. Granted i'm sometimes a bit bored while reading this arc, but it's still enjoyable nonetheless. The "select few viridian forest trainer being able to sense pokemon's thoughts" concept is cool. Red being the only one who hasn't known that yellow is a girl is still funny to this day. Yellow X Red? Yes please! Though i would like Red X Misty to sail. Also, hello Silver!
Overall, I would give this a 9/10. Definitely weaker than RGB, but still great. I was quite harsh on this arc before (rating it 8.3/10), maybe because i don't really like yellow at first, but she has grown on me while rereading this arc.
Current ranking: RGB > Y
Now, onto GSC, the longest arc, and the reason i've never been able to reread this cause i just stop around here usually.
