'''Pokémon Origins''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|{{j|THE ORIGIN}}|ジ・オリジン}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: The Origin'') is a miniseries that closely follows the plot of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Aesthetically it is based on the artwork, sprites, and other minor elements from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (and to a far lesser extent, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}), as well as including some unique features, such as Blue's green jacket and [[Mega Evolution]]. It stars {{OBP|Red|Origins}} as the protagonist and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} as Red's [[rival]].
