* Because the script for {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, was used for the translation of the Japanese trio into Pokémon Red and Blue, translation errors were made for two of the [[in-game trade]]s.
* Because Pokémon Red and Blue are based on {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, rather than {{game|Red and Green|s}} and the Pokémon distribution and in-game trades are based off Red and Green, two of the [[in-game trade]]s do not match the text.
** 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 is not possible. 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 [[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.

While Poliwhirl received a [[trade]] evolution in [[Politoed]] in [[Generation II]], it only evolves by a [[Water Stone]] in Generation I. In the context of Japanese Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away a {{p|Haunter}} for a {{p|Machoke}}, which does evolve through trade.
* An error made during development causes the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} depicted during [[Professor Oak]]'s introductory lecture to be a {{p|Nidorino}} but with the [[cry]] of a {{p|Nidorina}}. This error was inherited from the Japanese Red, Green, and Blue games.

* The boxarts for Pokémon Red, {{game|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]] are the only three instances where the English ''Pokémon'' logo is shown partially covered by some element (in this case, Charizard's head).
