The first two Pokémon games released were Pocket Monsters Red and Green. Both were exactly the same except for in‐game trades and available Pokémon.
After Pokémon became more popular, Pocket Monsters Blue was released. This had several changes and improvements. Bugs were fixed (and others introduced), Pokémon battle images were redrawn, and some cosmetic map changes were made—not in layout, just in appearance. However, Blue contained a redesigned Unknown Dungeon.
All non‐Japanese first‐gen games were based off of Pocket Monsters Blue. Pokémon Red and Blue were split from Pocket Monsters Blue, and their in‐game trades were changed to match those of Pocket Monsters Red and Green. Pokémon Red and Blue continued to use the battle sprites and overworld maps of Pocket Monsters Blue.
Shortly afterward, Pocket Monsters Yellow, based on Pocket Monsters Blue, was released in Japan. Foreign versions of Yellow were based off Pocket Monsters Yellow, and ever since then non‐Japanese games have been based off the corresponding Japanese version. In addition, Gold and Silver were derived from Yellow's source code, and Crystal was based of Gold and Silver's.
FireRed and LeafGreen were based off Red and Green's design. Among other things, this means that they use the original map of the Unknown Dungeon.
