    Here's how it works:
    Japan makes Red and Green
    Japan makes Blue, which is basically just Pokemon v1.1.
    The world gets localized versions of Blue, and then make a slightly different version with the original Red's available pokemon.
    Yellow is more or less the same in Japan and the World, just locallized differently.
    By the time FireRed and LeafGreen came out, Game Freak was a lot better at programming and localization, so the same games released internationally with just the languages switched out.

I can tell you that Game Freak had developmental problems and the game was delayed and famously required Satoru Iwata's assistance, but as far as localizations go, I am unaware of significant differences. In fact, I think Iwata's help is why the game code is so solid.

      @Jake C, I'm a lot more inclined to believe he's a typical American stationed in post-WW2 Japan, since that also explains why nearly everyone is either female or a young or old male, with few non-senior adult males aside from Surge. This is further backed by the fact that Kanto is a real region in Japan (Tokyo), and has Gen 2 taking place in Johto, to the West of Kanto and with buildings that match real life Kyoto (to the West of Tokyo).

      Open your bag on the overworld and scroll down to the 7th item. Exit your bag and go into a Pokémon battle. Go to the fight menu and move the cursor to the last option. Press select. The move name will now be something different. Defeat the enemy and your Pokémon will be level 100

    Basically:
    In February 1996, Pokémon Red and Green were released in Japan. Just before release, Mew is added to the game, an extremely risky decision, since untested code could mess up the game. The games are in black-and-white, but have partial colour support when played on the Super Gameboy.
    In October 1996, Pokémon Blue is released in Japan, exclusive to subscribers of Coro Coro (a Japanese magazine). All pokémon sprites are changed, but not because of the animé, which isn't out yet. Some overworld sprites are also changed, and many glitches are removed. Cerulean Cave's layout is completely changed. This version allows you to catch pokémon only obtainable through in-game trades or evolution in Red and Green, such as Jynx and Rapidash.
    In April 1997, the Pokemon animé comes out. Like the games, it is hugely popular. In December 1997, the Pokémon seizure incident happens. This changes attitudes to flashing lights in media all around the world, particularly in Japan.
    In January 1998 the Super Gameboy 2 is released in response to complaints that the original Super Gameboy didn't contain a link cable port. In October 1998. the Gameboy Color is released.
    On September 12th, 1998, Pokémon Yellow is released in Japan. All pokémon sprites are once again updated, this time to look more like the animé. Backsprites in all versions are unchanged from the original Red and Green. Flashing lights for moves such as Thunderbolt and Explosion are toned down, due to new awareness after the animé inicident. It does not feature support for the upcoming Gameboy Color, but retains its predecessors' support for the Super Gameboy. Some of the overworld sprites are again updated. The story follows the animé a bit more, allowing you to obtain all three Red, Green and Blue starters. Jesse, James and Meowth also make an appearance.
    Just over two weeks later, Red and Blue are released in North America. These are based on Japanese Blue, but have the version differences (pokémon appearances, in-game trades, etc.) of Japanese Red and Green. This led to anomalies such as a trainer on Cinnabar Island saying that the Raichu you traded him "just went and evolved". In Japanese Blue, you traded him a Kadabra. In the localisation process, Game Freak introduced the now-infamous Missingno glitch, which allows you to catch pokémon next to Cinnabar Island that you shouldn't be, and also allows for item duplication. This exists only in the English-language version of Red and Blue. The mount of pokémon in boxes was reduced from 30 to 20, probably because of language issues. Also, in the localisation, the positions of Item and PKMN on the battle screen were switched.
    Pokémon Red and Blue were released in Europe on October 5th, 1999. Two weeks later, Pokémon Yellow was released in North America. This was identical to the Japanese version, but in addition to Super Gameboy support, it also added support for Gameboy Color, so the partial colour support that already existed for Super Gameboy is also supported on Gameboy Color. The Missingno glitch was fixed. Pokémon Yellow came out in Europe on June 16th, 2000.

    Besides the goofy sprites, some of the funniest things in the Green version (at least from what I've seen) are the absolutely goofy names for moves. Ledder is apparently Night Shade, and Explosion... isn't Explosion as we'd call it. I think Tackle is called Go All Out.

      @@ryangallagher9723 Actually that's not true, that's an urban myth in pokemon community. Pokemon Blue and Red in english were an enhanced version of first japanese Red and Green games mixed with the japanese Blue version, where there are slight changes and different sprites. In the original intro of Green/Red japanese versions appears a Nidorino against a Gengar, however in the Blue japanese version there's a Jigglypuff against a Gengar. Almost all dialogues for Red/Blue (USA) are also from Blue japanese version, however the gameplay are from the original Red/Green, that's why there are some mistakes, as the old man in Cinnabar Island saying that his Raichu has evolved. And more... Maybe we just needed the original japanese Red/Green/Blue translated into english and released internationally.

      A coding issue that they fixed in Blue, thankfully. For some weird reason, the game assumed if you had 'owned' more than one Pokémon (ie by evolving, though I suspect trading one in works as well), you had the Pokédex. They might actually have been aware of the issue on a basic level and that's why you can't obtain Poké Balls before you deliver the parcel. They just didn't think to test the other scenarios which would put you at a 'greater than 1' Pokémon Caught count.

    There are large graphical changes between the overworld tileset in R/G and BlueJP with the former looking pretty bare and the latter being way more detailed. Also pokeballs were added to window boxes alongside the town map border being removed. Gen II Kanto is mostly based off of the former.
    Yellows overworld partially reverts to R/G but with its own unique differences to things like water, doors, windows, signs, fences etc. Interior tileset is the same across all of Gen I.

    Hi there. I have some good questions. I downloaded the English translated Green Version rom through VisualBoy Advance on my computer. I understand that the original green version was in in Japanese so maybe that's why all the grammar is poor in the game. But what I wonder is why everytime when someone mentions the word 'Pokemon' it is replaced with the word 'PET'? And most importantly the attacks of my 'PETS' are renamed. Such as my Pikachu's thunderbolt being named 'electron shock' and it's growl being renamed 'chirps'. Same with tackle being renamed as "Go All Out' and string shot being "Spin Silk' and my items bag being called 'Goods'. The Pokedex is named Book and a lot of the 'PETS' are renamed as well. Is this what happens to an old Green Version game when translated? Like because it's so old that there were things that were named differently back then?
