The relationship between the English version of Pokémon Red and Blue with their Japanese counterparts Red and Green is a bit more complex than the relationships of later translations. Originally, only Red and Green were released in Japan in early 1996, with Blue being released later as a [[third version]] in the second half of the year. While most would imagine, because English-speaking gamers only got Red and Blue, that Pokémon Green had no release outside of Japan, this is actually only half true. The English and international releases of Red and Blue actually use only the graphics and engine of the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], however, the availability of Pokémon, including the version-exclusive Pokémon, are exactly the same as that of Red and Green, with English Blue receiving Japanese Green's Pokémon. | The relationship between the English version of Pokémon Red and Blue with their Japanese counterparts Red and Green is a bit more complex than the relationships of later translations.

Another flaw in these 2 games are how the Pokémon look, or their ''sprites''. In Red and Blue, many Pokémon did not look like they did in the [[anime]] or in the future video games in the series. This problem was not overlooked in [[Pokémon Yellow]]. | Another flaw in these 2 games are how the Pokémon look, or their ''sprites''.
