They are two of the best-selling video games of all time. Set in the fantasy world of Kanto, the game's stories follow the progress of the central character in his quest to become a Pokémon Master. Both games are independent of each other but feature largely the same plot and, while both can be played separately, it is ideal for the player to refer to each in order to complete the game.

In Japan, the release of Pocket Monsters: Blue came after the release of the original Red and Green versions. It was originally made available exclusively through the children's magazine CoroCoro Comic, though it was released to the general public on October 10, 1999. Pocket Monsters: Blue and Pokémon Blue are different games entirely.

Pokémon Red and Blue have subsequently been remade for the Game Boy Advance into Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen. These, being advanced generation games, serve to allow the player to obtain all of 386 currently-available Pokémon species created by the franchise.

Gameplay

Like many console role-playing games, Pokémon Red and Blue are in third-person perspective, with players directly navigating the protagonist around their fictional universe, interacting with objects and people. As the player explores this world, they encounter different terrains, in which different Pokémon species reside. As the player randomly encounters one of these creatures, the play switches to a turn-based "battle scene", where characters must await their turns to attack.

A major aspect to the game is that of players developing and raising their Pokémon, by battling other Pokémon, both wild and owned by other Trainers. This experience point system, characteristic of all Pokémon video games and integral to these games, controls the physical properties of the Pokémon, including their battle statistics and hit points.

There are two main goals within the games, that of defeating the Elite Four (a series of highly skilled Trainers residing at the end of the game) and that of completing the Pokédex (capturing all of the different monsters). These are to be completed in that order, since many species cannot be captured until after the Elite Four are defeated.

Storyline

At the beginning of the games, the player can choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle as their starter Pokémon from Professor Oak. After that choice, they cannot catch the other two starters or their evolutions in the wild or by trading with in-game NPCs, so, to complete the Pokédex, the player must trade with other players in the real world. The basic story is to become the best trainer in all of Kanto; this is done by raising Pokémon, defeating Gym Leaders for Badges, and eventually challenging the Elite Four, the greatest Trainers in the land.
