Pokemon Red Version - JP Game Boy

Step into the origins of the Pokémon phenomenon with the Japanese version of Pokémon Red (ポケットモンスター 赤), originally released in 1996. This is one of the two original titles that started it all in Japan, alongside Pokémon Green. Unlike the international versions, Japan’s Red version features unique sprite designs, original Japanese text, and several early game mechanics that differ slightly from later adaptations. Train and battle using classic first-generation Pokémon as you make your way through the Kanto region. This cartridge is an essential addition for collectors, import fans, or anyone curious to experience the earliest version of Pokémon history as it was first introduced in Japan. Compatible with Japanese Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance systems.
