(→‎Trivia: Again, this info is originally from the book "ポケモン・ストーリー" (ISBN-13: 978-4822241995). I already replaced Satoshi Tajiri with "they" because you didn't liked it and translated it carefully keeping this close to the original text. Also keep the information accurate and no speculation, we don't know what would have been different with 7 versions compared to Red & Green.)

* To encourage players to exchange Pokémon with each other, it was considered to turn the game into seven versions based on the seven rainbow colors. However, it was eventually decided to use two versions with [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] instead (based on the colors red and green from Mario and Luigi).<ref name="pokemon game history 10 legendary pokemon">[http://pokepoke31.blog.fc2.com/?mode=m&no=23 【ポケモンゲーム史10】「交換」の動機づけ | 参考・『ポケモン・ストーリー』] (Japanese)</ref><ref name="pokemon game history 10 legendary pokemon">[http://pokepoke31.blog.fc2.com/?mode=m&no=23 【ポケモンゲーム史10】「交換」の動機づけ | 参考・『ポケモン・ストーリー』] (Japanese)</ref>
* [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] suggested to turn the game into multiple versions separated by colors. The idea was to make seven versions in all rainbow colors, but they ended up with just two (based on the colors red and green from Mario and Luigi). [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] integrated different encounter rates and [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] to motivate "exchange".<ref name="pokemon game history 10 legendary pokemon">[http://pokepoke31.blog.fc2.com/?mode=m&no=23 【ポケモンゲーム史10】「交換」の動機づけ | 参考・『ポケモン・ストーリー』] (Japanese)</ref>

* The game's main characters, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue|Green}}, have several default names, among them サトシ ''Satoshi'' and シゲル ''Shigeru'', respectively. These names come from Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] and his friend and fellow Nintendo developer, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. In the English counterparts Red and Blue, the default names are Red and Blue. Alternative names that could be chosen were {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, after the anime characters that share the names Satoshi and Shigeru, respectively.
