Unlike later [[generation]]s, Red and Blue were not the same as their corresponding Japanese releases. Japan had gotten their first pair of Pokémon games as {{game|Red and Green|s}}, which in all aspects were the same as Red and Blue with the exception of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} sprite designs and more numerous bugs. When preparing the games for their English release, it was decided that Red & Green would be merged with Japan's already-released third version, {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, for its improved graphics, sound, and [[Dokokashira door glitch|lack of easily-accessed gamebreaking glitches]]. | Unlike later [[generation]]s, Red and Blue were not the same as their corresponding Japanese releases.
