Game Boy

The original Japanese Pokemon Green was released in 1996 alongside Red as the starting point of the Pokemon series.

It represents the earliest form of the game, before later refinements, and stayed exclusive to Japan in its original state. Its Venusaur cover and distinct graphics make it a key historical reference for how the franchise began. Red, Blue and Yellow are also catalogued in the collection.
