Pokemon: Red and Blue

A game developed by Game Freak.

''
'''Pokémon Red'''
''
and
''
'''Pokémon Blue'''
''
are the first installments of the
Pokémon
series of role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. They were first released in Japan in 1996 and later released in North America, Europe and Australia over the following three years.
Pokémon Yellow
, a special edition version, was released roughly a year later.
Red
and
Blue
have subsequently been remade for the Game Boy Advance as
Pokémon FireRed
and
LeafGreen
, released in 2004.
The player controls the main character from an overhead perspective and navigates him throughout the fictionalized region of Kanto in a quest to master Pokémon battling. The goal of the games is to become the Champion of the region by defeating the top four Pokémon trainers in the land, the Elite Four. Another objective is to complete the Pokédex, an in-game encyclopedia, by obtaining the 151 available Pokémon.
Red
and
Blue
also utilize the Game Link Cable, which connects two games together and allows Pokémon to be traded or battled with between games. Both titles are independent of each other but feature largely the same plot and, while they can be played separately, it is necessary for players to trade among the two in order to obtain all 151 Pokémon.
Red
and
Blue
received strong reviews; critics praised the multiplayer options, especially the concept of trading. They received an aggregated score of 89% on Game Rankings and are perennially ranked on top-game lists including at least four years on
IGN's Top 100 Games of All Time
. The games' releases marked the beginning of what would become a multi-billion dollar franchise, jointly selling millions of copies worldwide, and in 2009 they appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records under "Best selling RPG on the Game Boy" and "Best selling RPG of all time".
