* The American staff in charge of localizing the games tried to change the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} designs; however, [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] refused the proposal.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/taidan1/page03.html スペシャル対談/3]</ref>

* The blurb on the back of the boxes states that 139 different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can be obtained in each game without trading. This, however, includes all Pokémon that the player must choose between (i.e., both the {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Kabuto}} families are counted). Therefore, the true total of different Pokémon obtainable in one adventure without trading is 124, which excludes the two unchosen starter families, one Fossil family, two Eeveelutions, one of Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, and the four Pokémon that only evolve when traded.  In addition, the amount of Pokemon a player can PHYSICALLY end up with after one adventure without trading is 120 because the player loses the first two levels of their starter ie if they have Blastoise at the end of the game, they no longer have Squirtle and Wartortle, the first level of their fossil and they lose Eevee after evolving it.  If a player playing Red version and a player playing Blue version were to pick different Pokemon throughout their games and trade at all appropriate times ie Charmander for Squirtle and back then Charmeleon for Ivysaur and back, etc, etc, each will end up with a Pokedex of 146, still losing 1 starter family and an Eevee evolution.  Each player can PHYSICALLY own 135, only getting to keep the eleven version exclusives and the four Pokemon evolved by trading.  The players can keep the other starter, the other fossil, Eevee's other evolution and Hitmonchan/lee, but they would lose theirs in the process.

* The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} depicted during [[Professor Oak]]'s introductory lecture is a {{p|Nidorino}}. However, the [[cry]] that plays belongs to {{p|Nidorina}}. This is actually a mistake that was carried over from the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} as well as from the {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}.
