Further alterations made in the localization included the combination of Red, Green, and Blue into the English versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, using Red and Green's wild Pokémon encounter lists but Blue's slightly improved graphics. The simultaneous release of the games and {{pkmn|anime}} led to an almost-overnight surge in popularity, cementing the Pokémon franchise firmly as a Nintendo mainstay alongside {{smw|Mario (series)|Super Mario}} and {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}. | This generation was localized into English, with initial attempts to keep the Pocket Monsters name for international use blocked due to the {{wp|Monster in My Pocket}} franchise leading to the release as "Pokémon".

The games proved popular enough that, eight years after their original release, they received [[remake]]s in the form of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the original versions are incompatible with [[Generation III]] and onward. Pokémon Yellow received a remake twenty years after its original release in the form of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. | The games proved popular enough that, eight years after their original release, they received [[remake]]s in the form of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the original versions are incompatible with [[Generation III]] and onward.
