As the first [[remake]]s in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red and Green Versions}}, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games.

The [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for [[link cable]]s when trading between the two games (and later [[Pokémon Emerald Version]]). In later copies, it was sold separately.

The plot essentially follows the same storyline as [[Generation I]], with the {{player}} beginning in [[Pallet Town]]. After meeting [[Professor Oak]] while trying to leave for {{rt|1|Kanto}}, both the player and his or her [[rival]] are asked by Oak to choose a [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, from the desk near him. Oak allows the player to choose first and the [[rival]] quickly gets jealous, chooses the starter whose [[type]] weakens that of the player's, and challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}. During this Pokémon battle [[Professor Oak]] commentates.

After the battle has ended, Oak allows the two new Trainers to leave for their journey across [[Kanto]]. Stopping off in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|package}} has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed, the professor gives two [[Pokédex]]es, one for the player, and one for the rival, away to them, and sends them on their way. Viridian has a Gym; however, it is locked.
