Pokémon Origins (Japanese: ポケットモンスター THE ORIGIN Pocket Monsters: The Origin) is a miniseries that first aired in its entirety in Japan on October 2, 2013 and premiered the first episode in English on Pokémon TV on November 15, 2013, with subsequent episodes to follow on November 18, 20, and 22, 2013. The plot is close to that of Pokémon Red and Green, but is aesthetically based on the artwork and sprites of, and features other minor elements from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen (and to a far lesser extent, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver), as well as some unique features, including Blue's green jacket and Mega Evolution. It stars Red as the protagonist and Blue as Red's rival.

The story is split into four episodes.
