I've discovered that Diamond and Pearl are almost exactly similar, and since they tend to be mentioned together I was wondering if Green and Red are also the "same" game, since they also tend to be mentioned together.
In other words, is Pokémon Green pretty much the same game as Pokémon Red?
Leaf Green and Fire Red are vastly similar :p
In fact they're the same as the red/blue versions that came out in those cartridges, same items trainers, gym leaders almost in the exact same positions as they were in red/blue ;x
How long has that dancing elephant been a smiley
Oh, so if I play Red and Blue, then I've technically experienced the very first installment, Green, as well?Quote:

Red = Blue (Fire Red = Leaf Green)
Gold = Silver = Crystal
Ruby = Sapphire = Emerald
Diamond = Pearl
Crystal and Emerald were added to the second and third generations after the initial games, so they had some other bonus stuff the originals didn't.
Edit: There was no Green version in the States until Leaf Green.
Thanks, guys.
Time to tackle them first installments! :D
In every generation of Pokemon there are two games released at first. The games are almost the same, but different pokemon are availabe. For instance, you can catch wild glameow in Pearl, but in diamond you can catch Stunky instead. The only generation where the plot changed was the third generation. In Ruby you faced team Magma, while in Sapphire you faced team Aqua.
The generations and games in each generation are
First(Kanto)
Red/Blue(Green in Japan)/Yellow
Second(Jhoto)
Gold/Silver/Crystal
Third
Hoenn
Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
Kanto(remakes of first gemeration)
Fire Red(remake of Red)/Leaf Green(Remake of Blue)
Fourth(Sinnoh)
Diamond/Pearl
qwertyxsora, would you please explain the first generation?
Do you mean that Green from Japan actually was released elsewhere, and they basically changed the name to Blue?
In that case, Green is the exactly same game as Blue? :confused:
...then this would mean that Japan has no Blue version, right?
I had completely forgotten about Yellow.Quote:

Isnt it always 2 versions are made, then they make a master version, example red and blue, then yellow, gold silver, then crystal.
Kanto = Pallet Town, Viridian City, etcQuote:

I wouldn't quite say they were master versions, just versions that we generally the same as the predecessors but with marked differences. E.g. in Yellow you've got Pikachu following you and you get all three starters, in Emerald you fight both Team Aqua and Magma, etcQuote:

This clears up the differences between red, blue and green.
Lol thats what i thought....x.x I remember getting all the colors back in the days all in Japanese before it was out in the States...
Eh. Apart from some relatively minor differences what I said was still generally right. They are essentially the same game.Quote:

I know the original Pokemon Green pokemon sprites look different than the original Red/Blue ones.
