Pokemon Green
 
Yes, green is a real game, it was just never released in the USA. It was officially the first pokemon game in history to hit Japan's market in February of 1995! Discussion of this game can take place here, as I have seen no other threads in this section about it! To all of you who post G/C/S/R/B/Y, you are all missing Green! Anyone who has pokemon green, or wants to know about it, discuss it here! Its photo's are also included here:

I know they are low end graphics, but it plays just like R/B/Y, so anyone who likes R/B/Y should take a look at green!

It looks pretty much the same as R/B/Y, but less advanced.
But, it does show how much Pokemon has improved over the years.

The storyline wouldn't be much different either, would it?

Nope, not much different, btw I didn't see a post about it, and it seemed everyone forgot about it...its kinda cool seeing how much pokemon has advanced, right?

Charliezard November 4th, 2008 7:02 PM

Weren't green and red released together with blue coming later with improved sprites and what not?

invisible-chan November 4th, 2008 7:09 PM

It's pointless to get it or emulate it though. Why bother when you have Blue and Red(actually, they are both Japanese Blue Version. Red was different).

Outlander November 4th, 2008 7:38 PM

I remember seeing this game is a japanese anime store in the mall a long time ago

coolcatkim22 November 4th, 2008 7:43 PM

Yeah, I played it on a rom. It's pretty good, although I can't understand a word they're saying.

bubblewrap November 4th, 2008 8:22 PM

If I'm not mistaken, Green and Red came out in Japan, as practically the same, then Blue came out, which was the American Red and Blue. Then Yellow came out, and after that everything was the same with Japan. Right?
Also, I looked at the Pokemon Green sprites online, they look wierd...
Mew has like a funky head bump thing. xD

Yeah, Blue was the same game with bug/sprite fixes.

Azzurra November 4th, 2008 8:28 PM

Green's sprites look more real life inspired than the anime.
For example, the Squirtle sprite from Green Version looks more lifelike than one from Diamond version.

Why wasn't the game released in English? I don't get it.

Easy, there wasn't any reason to make it.

Probably because Pokemon was a new franchise and they only wanted to go worldwide when it got popular.
Just guessing, though.

Ninja Tree November 5th, 2008 4:48 PM

I own Pokemon Green and it's pretty hard to play without knowing Japanese.(or playing r/b so much that you know what's going on)

Fluffy Clouds November 5th, 2008 5:09 PM

What I heard about why Green wasn't released in the US was because of the total amount of glitches in it. I can't remember how many. On YouTube, you can find a ton of videos on glitches in that game.

Note that I heard this reason from somebosy else, and it might be an opinion. I don't know, though.

Just to clear alot of newb questions, Pokemon Green was never released outside of Japan, instead they released Pokemon Blue. Similarly, Japan never got their hands on Blue version. Both regions had Red version however.

Japanese games had different sprites for the pokemon. But apart from that, there is no difference between the two.

No, that's not right... In Japan, Red and Green were released first. Blue was released after, and then Yellow was released after that. Blue enhanced the graphics of the original Red and Green in a way. And, when the games were released in America, they were based off Blue and rebranded as Red and Blue.

When fire red and leaf green versions came out I knew there has to be green somewhen.

I've read somewhere that USA who was going to translate the original RG versions found english-fying pokemon red too tedious and could not bear to continue to green, so they decided to make it red/blue instead of red/green.

What does fying mean?

Any ways, from what I can tell is. They took the in-game trades, game corner Pokemon prizes and exclusive Pokemon from GR and put it in B.

When I say english-fying I meant translating the games into english. Now I wonder what could have happened if green was released in USA. Probably the exclusive are the same as JP Blue?

IIMarckus November 6th, 2008 10:58 PM

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.

I found an English version of Green! Too bad the translation is terrible and there is Squrt and Bulba and Charm...

In the Japanese versions, nicknames and species names are limited to five characters (because Japanese by nature requires fewer characters to say something compared to English). Official English translations expand this to ten, but unofficial ROM hacks generally stick with the original limit.

Im working on a translation patch right now. check it out.

Yeah, it sucks but it's fine. Also, it's been translated, if anyone wants the...... wait a minute... ROM's aren't allowed here, duh. Sorry, nearly broke the law, I don't need another infraction, so I won't.
