Does skipping the route 22 fight with Blue change his final team in Yellow?

Question

If you entirely just avoid the fight, does his final team change from if you do fight him? I haven't been able to find anything and I've searched for half an hour.
Please answer for Yellow, but other games would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Your rival's Eevee will be a Flareon if you skip this battle.

The rival starts with Eevee. He will eventually have a different team based around one of Eevee's Evolutions depending on how the player fares in the first two battles with the rival (the second being optional), at Professor Oak's Laboratory and Route 22.
If the player wins both, Eevee evolves into Jolteon.
If the player wins at the lab and loses or skips at Route 22, Eevee evolves into Flareon.
If the player loses at the lab, Eevee evolves into Vaporeon.

Thanks to sumwun for correcting me, I apparently can not read.

That's true for Red, Blue, Firered, and Leafgreen. The question asked about Yellow.
