After pressing the new game button, Dr. Oak will show up and talk to you about Pokémon. He doesn't say anything too important, but he does let you choose you and your rival's name. You'll notice there are preset names for you to choose from. ASH and JACK in Red, and GARY and JOHN are pretty normal. However, the first preset name will either be RED or BLUE depending on your version. Definitely a pair of odd names. After choosing your own name, he'll present you with his grandson who has apparently been your rival ever since you were babies. You can choose his name as well, only because Oak forgot. While you can have fun making his name as bad as can be, the slot in the first column again will be BLUE or RED (if you're playing Red your rival's name will be BLUE, if you're playing Blue it will be RED). So who are these characters? | |||

The main menu does not have many features at all. Upon pressing the you'll be brought to a screen with two options: NEW GAME and OPTION. NEW GAME will start a new game and get on with things.

Red and Blue
After pressing the new game button, Dr. Oak will show up and talk to you about Pokémon. He doesn't say anything too important, but he does let you choose you and your rival's name. You'll notice there are preset names for you to choose from. ASH and JACK in Red, and GARY and JOHN are pretty normal. However, the first preset name will either be RED or BLUE depending on your version. Definitely a pair of odd names. After choosing your own name, he'll present you with his grandson who has apparently been your rival ever since you were babies. You can choose his name as well, only because Oak forgot. While you can have fun making his name as bad as can be, the slot in the first column again will be BLUE or RED (if you're playing Red your rival's name will be BLUE, if you're playing Blue it will be RED). So who are these characters?
Red
Moving around
Moving around is in a grid/tile style. Moving up, right, down, or left will move one space in that direction.
For more information on this topic, visit the Controls section.
Battle
The whole game is centered around Pokémon battling. Battling consists of fighting an opposing trainer with Pokémon or fighting a wild Pokémon with your Pokémon.
For more information on this topic, visit the Battle page on Bulbapedia.
Items
To access the ITEM GUI, you have to press and click on the ITEMS tab. In other generation, this is called the PACK or the BAG. None of your items are organized at all, unlike future generations. Here's a complete list of all the items in the first generation of Pokémon(note that images of items do not appear in generation one games. However, pokeball sprites do appear and they all look like this.):
