Beginning with {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and later joined by third version {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}} and special edition {{v2|Yellow}} in Japan, the Generation I games were developed beginning as early as 1990 from [[Capsule Monsters|an idea]] that [[Satoshi Tajiri]] had thought of and pitched to [[Nintendo]] with the help of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. The inspiration for many of the key mechanics introduced in this generation came from Tajiri's childhood interest in bug collecting, with the [[trading]] system between two [[Game Boy]]s being thought of when he imagined a caterpillar crawling across the [[link cable]] between two systems.
