The original Japanese Pokemon Red was released in 1996 together with Green as the foundation of the Pokemon universe.
It introduced the core mechanics of catching, training and trading that everything else was built on, which makes it one of the most influential handheld releases ever. The matching Green, the later Blue and Yellow are also catalogued in the collection.
