Pokémon Red and Green (Japanese: ポケットモンスター 緑 ) is an RPG game for the Game Boy. The two games were released in Japan in February of 1996. The mascot of Green version is Venusaur while Charizard is the mascot of Red. The games were remade for Western audiences as Pokémon Red and Blue. Another remake was made titled Pokémon Blue for Japanese audiences only.

The wild and trade Pokémon of the English Pokémon Blue are based on those of the Japanese Pokémon Green. For example, in Pokémon Blue, a trainer can trade a Poliwhirl for a Jynx, just as in Pokémon Green.
