The reason why I stay away from Japanese Pokemon Red/Green... (Game Boy) *Read description*
7NOTE: This is not a speedrun.
Have you ever wondered what Pokemon was like at its VERY origins? Well, look no further. While it is true that Red/Blue on the original Game Boy were the first games as far as international releases were concerned back in 1998, hardcore fans know that in Japan, however, even earlier versions of those games, called Red/Green, exist, and was made two years prior in '96. This is due to the fact that our original games were based on the Japanese BLUE re-issue release (but having Red/Green's encounter data). But JP Red/Green in particular are infamous for having MANY glitches and even worse sprite graphics (looking at you you, Mew) due to how they are not properly finished. It's a good reason Nintendo didn't specifically pick those games overseas, as it would've made the franchise less successful, and they fixed it further in Yellow - the true special edition.
For this video, Green is unsurprisingly chosen because most players see it as the only color game of Gen 1 never released for America/Europe, therefore overshadowing the other game by far in popular demand (some even saying it's the best Gen 1 game). Personally, despite the unique name, having Venusaur on the box art, and unless you want to see how the series truly started, it's really nothing special by itself, as it is just the alternate version of Japan's Red, and Yellow is way ahead in polishing. But it did, however, set the template for the LeafGreen remake. Red/Green are NOT Pokemon games within the original generation of the series I prefer to play; The Japanese titles' code, keeping the language barrier aside, are badly filled with bugs (worse so than international Red/Blue), there is a gamebreaking glitch where I could literally beat it in record time, which to me is not enjoyable considering Pokemon is an 𝗥𝗣𝗚 franchise like Final Fantasy. In the end, however, it is still worth putting this exclusive game into my channel, as Pokemon in its absolute oldest form can now be seen, and making my experience as Gen 1 veteran fully complete after 25 long years. Oh, and one more thing, the Lavender Town music myth from creepypasta is totally bogus.

Fun fact: Although the Japanese games were actually released in Feb. 27. 1996, the reason why the copyright year says 1995 is because they were originally planned to come out on December 21st of that year. That itself explains the same thing occurring in all later games and official merchandise.
