* 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 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. | * The blurb on the back of the boxes states that 139 different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can be obtained in each game without trading.

In addition, after one walkthrough, a player may only physically end up with 120 different pokemon as the player looses the first 2 levels of their starter, the first level of their fossil and eevee. If a player playing red and a player playing blue pick different pokemon at every turn and trade at appropriate times, ie Charmander for Squirtle then back, Charmleleon for Wartortle and back, Charizard for Blastoise and back, Each fossil level and back, their Eevee evolutions and back and Hitmonchan/lee and back, then permanently trade the 11 exclusives and the 4 obtained by evolving, each players Pokedex will have 146 Pokemon while each player will physically end up with 135. | ||
* 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}}. | * The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} depicted during [[Professor Oak]]'s introductory lecture is a {{p|Nidorino}}.
