'''''Pokémon''''' ('''''Red''''', '''''Blue''''', and ''Yellow'') is the first installment in of the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series of role-playing video games, released for [[Game Boy]] in Japan in 1996 and North America in 1998. Set in the fantasy world of [[Kanto]], the game's story follow the progress of the central character in his quest to capture and collect "Pocket Monsters" ("Pokémon" for short), and master battling. ''Pokémon'' is known for introducing a unique premise of coming being published in separate versions separated by the color of the cartridge. The first initial versions ''Red'' and ''Blue'' (''Green'' in Japan). Other versions would later be introduced (''Blue'' in Japan and ''Yellow''), however ''Red'' and ''Blue'' are generally considered the "main" versions most commonly referred to when referencing the original game. Both versions feature the same plot and basic gameplay, but contain slight differentials in certain monster appearances-- some being more common in one version over another, and others being exclusive to a version, requiring players to trade with players with the other version in order to collect all 150 species.
 
 
''Red'' and ''Blue'' have subsequently been remade for the Game Boy Advance as ''[[Pokémon FireRed|FireRed]]'' and ''[[Pokémon LeafGreen|LeafGreen]]''. These, are generally considered "advanced" generation games, serving to allow the player to obtain all of 386 then-available Pokémon species created by the franchise.
