Contents
Blurb
You've finally been granted your Pokémon trainer's license. Now, it's time to head out to become the world's greatest Pokémon trainer. It's going to take all you've got to collect 150 Pokémon in this enormous world. Catch and train monsters like the shockingly-cute Pikachu. Face off against Blastoise's torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing Pidgeot's stormy Gust. Trade with friends and watch your Pokémon evolve. Important--no single Pokémon can win it all. Can you develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight GYM Leaders and become the greatest Pokémon Master of all time?
Story
Like all main series Pokémon games, Red and Green features a young boy on his journey to defeat the eight gym leaders and the Elite Four in order to become a master. You start in Pallet Town where you will meet Professor Oak, and choose from one of three starter Pokémon. Later Pokémon will be available for capture later on the journey.
Gameplay
The Pokémon games are different from most RPGs by the fact that you must catch your "party" to battle other Pokémon. You may run into other trainers who will demand to fight. Winning fights against other trainers will give you money. In a couple of towns, there are gyms where you must defeat the gym leaders. Defeating a gym leader will earn you a badge. There are eight badges in all. Earning all eight will unlock the Elite Four. Defeating the Elite Four and the Champion will have you become the Champion and win the game.
You can also trade Pokémon with your friends using a link cable. Each version has version exclusive Pokémon that is only in that version, and must be traded to get in the other game.

Demo versions
Though no demo versions have been confirmed, the pre-release screenshot shown in the publication New Game Design with the unidentified border may have been from a trade show. The sprites on the cover of this book are from an actual much earlier prototype (non-known demo) of the game during the time the game was referred to as Capsule Monsters, and the full assets were allegedly leaked.

Virtual Console (Nintendo 3DS) | 2016 | Emulated ports for Nintendo 3DS, with the v1.1 release as the base game (the partial Select glitch fix will apply). Pocket Monsters Stadium support is no longer possible. Pokémon can now be uploaded to Poké Transporter. Trading and battling between these games as well as with Pikachu Version and Blue Version (as well as Japanese Gold/Silver via the Time Capsule feature) is possible with wireless communications, but only between Japanese versions (the original cartridge versions allowed communication with other languages but completely wrong data would be sent; often game freezes, and this could be exploited in specific ways, such as obtaining a Pokémon from remaining HP).
