Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue were the first Pokémon games to be released in the US, on September 30, 1998. The Japanese equivalents were Pokémon Red and Green, released on February 27, 1996. A sister game with minor gameplay changes was released later, Pokémon Yellow.
The relationship between the English version of Pokémon Red and Blue with the Japanese version are a bit complex. A revision with improved gameplay and graphics, the Japanese Pokémon Blue was released on October 15, 1996. The English version of Pokémon Red and Blue are based on the Japanese Pokémon Blue's engine and graphics; and the English version of Pokémon Blue had the Japanese Pokémon Green's wild and trade Pokémon.
