Well on yellow you get your Evee at level 25 in Celadon so you can't evolve it early, so jolteon is pretty much useless till level 52 or if you saved the thunderbolt tm you get from Lt. Surge but like me i'm sure most people used it on their pikachu. So unless you can get lower level evee some how you have to raise a weak pokemon 27 level before you get any use out of Jolteon.
