Of interesting note are the old man trades in Cerulean City and Cinnabar Island. In the American versions of Red and Blue, when these men are traded with, they claim the Pokemon traded to them "went and evolved", despite the fact that this makes no sense whatsoever for Raichu (it coincidently did for Poliwhirl). This is explained by the text of the game being taken from the Japanese version of Blue, and in this version, the claim of evolution after those trades do indeed make sense. This also explains the presence of low leveled Tauros and Kangaskhan in Pika Cup R2 in Pokemon Stadium.
Another thing to note is that Pokemon only obtainable through in-game trades in Red and Green can be caught in the wild in Blue. Jynx is catchable in Seafoam, whereas Lickitung can be caught in the Safari Zone.
