:It looks that, in the past, we used to keep Japanese Pokédex entries when new games had been released just in Japanese, not in English yet. For instance, please see [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pikachu_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&oldid=1337701#Pok.C3.A9dex_entries_4 this old 2011 revision of the Pokédex section] from the Pikachu article. It contains this Pokédex text from Pokémon Black and White: "{{tt|よわった なかまの ピカチュウに でんきをながし ショックをあたえて げんきを わけることも ある。|It occasionally uses an electric shock to recharge a fellow Pikachu that is in a weakened state.}}".
:I think Team Rocket Grunt seems to be proposing something along these lines, adding Japanese Pokédex entries for Pokémon Red and Green because they don't correspond with English G1 games.
:However, on the other hand, it looks like all the G1 Pokédex entries have been translated either in G1 English or in FRLG. So, instead of adding Japanese text, maybe we could at least explain the localization changes like this in the Pokémon articles:
:* In the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, each Pokémon shares the same Pokédex entry. This entry was left untranslated in the localized [[Generation I]] games, until it was reused in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]] and localized into other languages.
:* In the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], a new Pokédex entry was introduced for each Pokémon. This entry was translated for both {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and also reused in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon LeafGreen]] (sometimes with minor wording changes in the latter).
:* The {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}} was not released in English, but it uses the same Pokédex entries as the later game {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.
