You've finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer's license]]. Now, it's time to head out to become the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer. It's going to take all you've got to collect {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|150 Pokémon}} in this enormous world. Catch and train monsters like the shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}}. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}'s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}'s stormy {{m|Gust}}. [[Trade]] with friends and watch your Pokémon evolve. Important—no single Pokémon can win at all. Can you develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time? | You've finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer's license]].

Each game contains pre-recorded data on 151 different species of Pokémon, including {{p|Mew}}, a Pokémon unavailable to players of either game under normal conditions. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or [[glitches]]. Mew is the only Pokémon in these games that ''must'' be acquired through attending either a Nintendo sponsored event, [[Mew glitch|a glitch]], or [[cheating]]. | Each game contains pre-recorded data on 151 different species of Pokémon, including {{p|Mew}}, a Pokémon unavailable to players of either game under normal conditions.

==Connectivity== | |||
Players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges or battle with another cartridge using a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to each game of the pair and others require trading to evolve, making trading necessary to complete the [[Pokédex]]. The games can trade and battle with Western versions of Red, Blue, and {{game|Yellow}}. They can also trade with Western versions of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} via the [[Time Capsule]]. Red and Blue are completely incompatible with games from [[Generation III]] onward. | |||
Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game without causing corruption. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since neither game fully [[Character encoding in Generation I|encodes]] both {{wp|kana}} and the {{wp|Latin alphabet}} (only encoding one fully and the other partially). If a battle between a Japanese game and a non-Japanese game is attempted, the battle simply does not work, with the save files left unharmed. | |||
Red and Blue are compatible with {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}. While link battles are not possible directly between Pokémon Red and Blue and the Generation II games, a player may challenge a Generation II game using Pokémon Stadium 2. | |||
===Virtual Console=== | |||
The [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases use 3DS wireless communication as a substitute for the Game Link Cable. Japanese and non-Japanese Generation I core series games do not recognize each other when attempting to link them via 3DS wireless communication. | |||
Using [[Poké Transporter]], the entirety of Box 1 can be sent from the Generation I core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]] (regardless of language), from where they can be withdrawn in the [[Generation VII]] core series games. | |||
