 * According to the ''Pokémon Pokédex Collector's Edition'' (Prima's Official Pokémon Guide), Red and Blue were developed by a team of nine members.

-* Because the source code for {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, was used for the localization of the Japanese trio into Pokémon Red and Blue, translation errors were made for two of the [[List of in-game trades|in-game trades]].

 ** The old man who trades the {{player}} an {{p|Electrode}} on [[Cinnabar Island]] claims that the {{p|Raichu}} he received "went and [[Evolution|evolved]]". As Raichu does not have an evolved form, this makes no sense whatsoever, this was fixed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In the context of Pokémon Blue, it makes sense as the player trades away a {{p|Kadabra}}, which evolves through trade, for a {{p|Graveler}}.
 ** The old man that trades the player a {{p|Jynx}} in [[Cerulean City]] claims that the {{p|Poliwhirl}} he received "went and evolved". While Poliwhirl does evolve, it does not evolve by [[trade]] {{p|Politoed|in Generation I}} but rather through the use of a {{evostone|Water Stone}}. In the context of Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away a {{p|Haunter}} for a {{p|Machoke}}, which does evolve through trade.
