por que no los dos?
red was the best. it had the best exclusives.
Blue had Victreebel which is the best grass type behind Venusaur (Exeggutor is mid game and is really slow to lvl so less useful for a run) and Victreebel’s base 70 Speed gives Razor Leaf a 99.9% chance of landing a critical hit.
Also Meowth lets you farm money really easily which gives access to TMs.
Red has Arcanine as a standout but good fire types aren’t hard to come by and Scyther… but having the best bug type isn’t really doing anything.
Honestly I prefer Blue’s exclusives.
But they were both deceived, for there was a third choice.
Not at launch. Our only choices were red and blue.
both. “gotta catch 'em all”
Pokemon red/green minimum requirements:
[x] Game boy
[x] Batteries
[ ] Friends
Don’t need friends if you’ve got two game boys…
The right answer is Wartortle.
The real choice was Yellow.
That came out over a year later.
Yeah, it wasn’t even an option then and people who got yellow later were not immediately welcome.
Intro music wasn’t nearly as awesome and getting all the starters was kinda cheap.
Wasn’t much of a choice for some of us. Red was out of stock everywhere…
Blue had better Pokemon sprites (graphics).
So in Japan, it was originally Pokemon Red and Green. The original third version was Blue, with bug fixes and some updated Pokemon sprites.
Japanese Blue was used as the base of the international Red and Blue versions, but for some reason they included the original sprites in international Red version. Maybe to make more differences between international Red and Blue?
Yellow was actually a fourth version, lol.
This is also why the GBA remakes were Fire Red and Leaf Green.
Red and Blue had the same graphics outside of Japan. People seeing these boxes weren’t choosing between sprite work.
In fact, going by the Japanese versions, it was Blue that we never got. Red and Blue outside of Japan were just reskinned Red and Green.
Hence why one of the trainers being able to talk about the Raichu that you traded him evolving – it came from the script of the wrong version of the game (I’m guessing Blue) even though the games have the Red/Green trades (I think).
You might have known this, but adding for clarity that the west still got Red/Green under the hood but with Blue’s sprites shared between both games.
I always go with bulbasaur. He’s always the right option
the illusion of choice
POV you’re looking at Mr. Burns buying ketchup
Catsup
The yellow one
Fun fact, if given the choice of only primary colours, there will always be a bias towards blue.
Yellow and red makes us pay attention more, but blue gives the feeling of trust.
Why not both?
