Red and Green | Pokéshopper.net ★ For all your Pokémon needs!

Pokémon Red Version (Japanese: ポケットモンスター赤 Pocket Monsters: Red) and Pokémon Green Version (Japanese: ポケットモンスター緑 Pocket Monsters: Green) are the first video games in the Pokémon series of games. They are the first primary paired versions of Generation I, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the handheld Game Boy. They were first released in Japan on February 27th, 1996, and were later followed by the updated Pokémon Blue and the supplementary Pokémon Yellow.

Developed over the course of several years, Red and Green established several standards for later Pokémon games and sequels. They take place in the Kanto region, with the player having to collect eight Gym Badges to become the Pokémon Champion while also completing the Pokédex by collecting all 151 Pokémon. The game was a commercial success in Japan, which prompted the localization of Red and Green for an international release; the games were then released as Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue.

In 1999, the sequels to these games, Pokémon Gold and Silver, were released for the Game Boy Color. In 2004, Red and Green were remade for the Game Boy Advance as Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. In Japan, the original 1996 games, along with Blue and Yellow, were available on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console between the Pokémon 20th Anniversary on February 27th, 2016 and the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27th, 2023. The rerelease also allowed compatibility with Poké Transporter, a tool which can send Pokémon from Virtual Console copies of Pokémon to Pokémon Bank, where they can be withdrawn in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.

Pokémon Kanto Region

The Kanto region (Japanese:カントー地方 Kanto region)

Kanto is the first region introduced in the Pokémon universe and in the popular series, games and anime. It was then followed by Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and Paldea. It is modeled and named after the Kantō region of Japan, which includes, amongst other cities, the capital Tōkyō, where Game Freak is headquartered. Kanto is the only one that shares its name with a real-world location. The resemblance between the bay formations seen on the in-game map and the actual Sagami Bay, Suruga Bay, and Tokyo Bay formations is particularly striking. Kanto also has some elements of Chūbu.

There are ten major cities in Kanto.
