Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue are RPG games where you travel around the Kanto region catching wild Pokémon and training them to battle as part of your team. As you explore, you will visit many towns, battle other trainers and their Pokémon, complete your [[../Pokédex/]], and become the best Pokémon trainer.

==Overworld==
Upon starting the game, a white, silent screen will appear followed by copyright information and a [[Category:Game_Freak|GameFreak]] animation. Then, the music suddenly changes and a fight between a [[bulbapedia:Gengar|Gengar]] and a [[bulbapedia:Nidoran♂|Nidoran♂]] begins. After Nidoran♂ takes a final leap at Gengar, the music changes to a much happier tone, and the title screen will appear. The Pokémon logo comes in from above and a boy holding a [[bulbapedia:Pokéball|Pokéball]] appears. This boy is Red, the protagonist and character you play as in the [[bulbapedia:Generation I|Generation 1]] games. Next to him, various Pokémon sprites appear for a few seconds and then are replaced by a different sprite. When you press the {{gb|A}} button, the screen will go white again, but a text box will appear on the screen shortly after.  
You start off in Pallet Town where you live with your mom. Professor Oak lives nearby. You walk in a grid layout, moving up, down, left, or right. Through your adventures you'll visit many towns and meet many other characters.

==Characters==
===Red===
[[File:Pokemon FRLG Red.png|150px|left|thumb|Red artwork from Fire Red & Leaf Green.]]
Red is the first ever protagonist in any Pokemon game. He's only playable in the first generation of games and the remakes, but he does appear in Red, Blue and Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal, Heart Gold and Soul Silver, and Black 2 and White 2. He's also a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Stadium (japanese), and Stadium 2. Red is the most iconic member of the Pokemon franchise, often being appraised as the best Pokemon trainer ever. Ash Ketchum from the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon anime|anime]] is based off of this character.
====Appearance & Personality====
[[File:Pokemon RBY Red.png|right|thumb|Red sprite from Red/Blue/Yellow.]]
Red has extremely pale brown hair that looks grey, a red and white cap and grey eyes. Matching his cap, he wears a red, sleeveless jacket with a white collar and stripes. He has a black undershirt with a yellow backpack over his shoulders. He wears light blue shaggy jeans with black and red shoes. He appears to have a watch on his wrist and tosses a Pokéball in one hand and puts his hand in his pocket with the other. In earlier artwork of him, he had dark black hair. He has a fierce stern expression on his face and a solemn demeanor. In any of the Pokemon games, he never says a word. When dialogue does happen, the only text that appears is "..." He obviously likes to be alone. In fact, he sits on top of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Mt. Silver|Mt. Silver]] to train with his level 88 Pikachu. Most refer to him, even in regions outside Kanto, as the Champion, The Ultimate Pokemon Trainer, Hero of Kanto, and The Pokemon Champion.
{{-}}
===Blue===
[[File:Pokemon FRLG Blue.png|150px|left|thumb|Blue artwork from Fire Red and Leaf Green.]]
Blue Oak is the first ever rival in any Pokemon game and the grandson of Professor Oak. He's not a playable character, but he makes appearances in Red, Blue and Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal, Heart Gold and Soul Silver, and Black 2 and White 2. He also appears in Stadium 1 and 2. Although Blue is annoying and cocky, he's an amazing Pokemon Trainer who defeated the Elite 4. He's also good enough to be the best gym leader in Kanto in Geration 1. Gary Oak from the anime is based off of blue.
====Appearance & Personality====
[[File:Pokemon RBY Blue.png|right|thumb|Blue sprite from Red/Blue/Yellow]]
Blue has orange hair with a black shirt and shaggy, purple jeans. He has 2 purple wrist bands and is holding an Ultra Ball. He wears a pouch wrapped around his waist and a necklace with a some sort of precious stone hanging from it. He also wears black shows with a small amount of light blue. He has pretty long legs. Other artwork of him shows brown or pale brown hair, like Red's. Blue posseses a "bring it on" or "show me the best you got" expression on his face. He usually ends conversations with "Smell ya later!" He's a cocky, confident, and competitive young boy who seeks the same goals as Red. He has become the league champion for a short amount of time before Red claimed his spot. After the events of RBY, he took Giovanni's spot as the Viridian City Gym Leader. You can battle him in GSC and HGSS. He has no specific type, but hands you an Earth Badge anyways when you beat him. In GSC, he seems to had a change of personality by checking out the wreckage of [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar Island]] and saying, "Who are you? Well, it's plain to see that you're a trainer… My name's Blue. I was once the Champion, although it was for only a short time… That meddling Red did me in… Anyway, what do you want? You want to challenge me or something? …I hate to say it, but I'm not in the mood for a battle now. Take a good look around you… A volcano erupts, and just like that, a whole town disappears. We can go on winning and losing in Pokémon. But if nature so much as twitches, we can lose in a second. … That's the way it is… But, anyway, I'm still a trainer. If I see a strong opponent, it makes me want to battle. If you want to battle me, come to the Viridian Gym. I'll take you on then."

==Starting the game==
After press the NEW GAME button, the music will change and you'll be taken to a blank screen followed by Professor Oak fading in with a surprisingly stern look on his face. He says as follows:
"Hello there! Welcome to the world of POKéMON! My name is OAK! People call me the POKéMON PROF!" Professor Oak's sprite disappears and is replaced by a [[bulbapedia:Nidoran♂|Nidoran♂]]. "This world is inhabited by creatures called POKéMON! For some people, POKéMON are pets. Others use them for fights. Myself... I study POKéMON as a profession." The Nidoran♂'s sprite is replaced by Red's (you) sprite. "First, what is your name?" You now can create a '''NEW NAME''' or choose from the names '''RED''', '''ASH''', and '''JACK''' for your character. "Right! So your name is (playerName)!" Your sprite is replaced by another boy. This boy is [[bulbapedia:Blue (game)|Blue]], Red's rival throughout Generation I. "This is my grandson. He's been your rival since he was a baby. ...Erm, what's his name again?" You now can create a '''NEW NAME''' or choose from the names '''BLUE''', '''GARY''', and '''JOHN'''. "That's right! I remember now! His name is (rivalName)!" Blue will fade out and Red will fade back in. "(playerName)! Your very own legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with POKéMON await! Let's go!" A short animation plays of Red morphing into a small version of himself. The screen goes white, then you spawn in [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Pallet Town|Pallet Town]], playing video games.

To move around, press the UP, DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT buttons on the D-Pad. You cannot move directly diagonally.
