I checked the Japanese version of the book, and it says that 150 Pokémon have been registered as of 1996, not that the game takes place that year.

It is stated in the book, doesn't matter it's contradictory to the game, it could be a cooperation between Silph Co. and Cinnabar Lab

Porygon was actually created by the Cinnabar Lab, as stated in the game itself.

That quote ("As of 1996, thanks to the investigative and research efforts of Prof. Oak, 150 species of Pokémon have been discovered.") was taken out of context. Nowhere does it say that Red and Green are specifically set in 1996.

→Intro: even if there are multiple ways to translate, I believe unless there's an official translation (or there's another good reason), the page title should match our Japanese translation (either way); I also support just omitting the bold title in the leading sentence if there's no English title (as does the MoS, arguably)
