* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged. | * Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes.

** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the {{series|original}}. | ** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite.

Then, possibly, his updated initial profile front sprite was recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses that sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, as these games were originally scheduled for a March 1998 release according to the '''''Official Guidebook of Nintendo Spaceworld '97''''' (Japanese: '''NINTENDOスペースワールド'97オフィシャルガイドブック''') and the Nintendo Spaceworld 1997 website,<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/19980224225429/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/swgbsoft/swgb03.html#gb19 SPACEWORLD'97 出展 GAME BOYソフト]</ref> while Pokémon Yellow came out in September 1998, just months after Game Freak decided to delay them. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}. | ||
