Before the massive franchises, trading cards, anime series, and mobile apps, there was Pokémon Red & Blue—the very first Pokémon games that introduced players to the world of Kanto, a land teeming with adventure, wild creatures, and the dream of becoming a Pokémon Master. Released globally in the late 1990s for the Nintendo Game Boy, these titles defined a generation and laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time.
