Description
Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue (known in Japan as
Pocket Monsters: Red and Pocket Monsters: Green) are the first two
installments of the Pokémon series of role-playing video games,
released for the Game Boy in Japan in 1996. They are two of the
best-selling video games of all time, having sold in excess of 31.3
million copies worldwide. Set in the fantasy world of Kanto,
the game's stories follow the progress of the central character in his
quest to become a Pokémon Master. Both games are independent of each
other but feature largely the same plot and, while both can be played
separately, it is ideal for the player to refer to each in order to
complete the game. In Japan, the release of Pocket Monsters: Blue came after the
release of the original Red and Green versions. It was originally made
available exclusively through the children's magazine CoroCoro Comic,
though it was released to the general public on October 10, 1999.
Pocket Monsters: Blue and Pokémon Blue are different games entirely.
Pokémon Red and Blue have subsequently been remade for the Game Boy
Advance into Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen. These, being
advanced generation games, serve to allow the player to obtain all of
386 currently-available Pokémon species created by the franchise.
