    probably have to find a friend there is not a glitch that I’m aware of that lets you obtain all of them

    I did complete the Pokédex as a kid back in the day, but it took lots of trading with just about everyone on the playground. Most people evolve their starters quickly, so finding someone with the first or mid stage starters could be a challenge. Eeveelutions were easier.

    The lack of breeding made it all even harder. Fortunately legendaries weren't version exclusive at that point.

    Pokémon Yellow did indeed give you one of each of the original starters. That made the whole thing easier.

    If you don't have copies of the other games or friends playing through Pokémon Red and Blue in 2024, another thing you could do is transfer them onto your save file, but you will need other hardware to extract and reinsert the save.

    How legitimately do you want to complete the Pokédex? Or do you just want all the starters?

    from what I heard the stadium route is not the greatest. Doesn't feel legitimate. So if you're okay with that.

    Or since you're out of luck trading with playground friends then focus on crafting the absolute best team you can and crush that competition.
