The 1975 manga
Both this article and a page on PokéCharms have information on a manga released in 1975 called Capsule Monsters which, according to these pages, was the precursor to what eventually became Pokémon Red and Green. Lately I've been curious about the source of this information, doing several Google searches and even looking through a book about Satoshi Tajiri that I recently ordered from Amazon.co.jp, but so far I haven't found anything.
Now, it's likely that I haven't looked hard enough, but part of me has doubts about the existence of this manga. Anyone care to direct me to a source so I can set aside these doubts? Woopert 21:08, 9 September 2005 (CDT)
