The fire lizard couldn't fly back then, but I was able to surf on the turtle... Yeah blastoise is always the solid option.
But they were both deceived, for there was a third choice.
Blue had better Pokemon sprites (graphics).
So in Japan, it was originally Pokemon Red and Green. The original third version was Blue, with bug fixes and some updated Pokemon sprites.
Japanese Blue was used as the base of the international Red and Blue versions, but for some reason they included the original sprites in international Red version. Maybe to make more differences between international Red and Blue?
Yellow was actually a fourth version, lol.
This is also why the GBA remakes were Fire Red and Leaf Green.
Red and Blue had the same graphics outside of Japan. People seeing these boxes weren't choosing between sprite work.
In fact, going by the Japanese versions, it was Blue that we never got. Red and Blue outside of Japan were just reskinned Red and Green.
Hence why one of the trainers being able to talk about the Raichu that you traded him evolving -- it came from the script of the wrong version of the game (I'm guessing Blue) even though the games have the Red/Green trades (I think).
You might have known this, but adding for clarity that the west still got Red/Green under the hood but with Blue's sprites shared between both games.
The real choice was Yellow.
both. "gotta catch 'em all"
Pokemon red/green minimum requirements:
[x] Game boy
[x] Batteries

I always go with bulbasaur. He's always the right option
The right answer is Wartortle.
Wasn't much of a choice for some of us. Red was out of stock everywhere...
red was the best. it had the best exclusives.
