About Pokémon Red and Blue
Pokémon Red and Blue started the series. They came out in Japan in February 1996 for Game Boy as Red and Green, a Blue version followed there later that year, and the pair reached North America in September 1998 as Red and Blue. The Kanto Pokédex lists 151 Pokémon, Bulbasaur to Mew. You choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, win eight Gym Badges, break up Team Rocket and beat the Elite Four, and Mewtwo waits in Cerulean Cave after that. Browse the original 151 below in any of nine languages.
Frequently asked questions
How many Pokémon are in Pokémon Red and Blue?
The Kanto Pokédex lists 151, Bulbasaur to Mew. Neither version has them all: each has 11 Pokémon the other lacks, so completing it means trading over a Game Link Cable. Mew was only ever given out at events.
What are the starter Pokémon in Red and Blue?
Bulbasaur (Grass), Charmander (Fire) and Squirtle (Water), from Professor Oak in Pallet Town. Your rival takes the one with the advantage over yours. Their final evolutions are Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise.
What's the difference between Red and Blue?
The wild Pokémon. Red exclusives: Ekans, Arbok, Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, Mankey, Primeape, Growlithe, Arcanine, Scyther and Electabuzz. Blue exclusives: Sandshrew, Sandslash, Vulpix, Ninetales, Meowth, Persian, Bellsprout, Weepinbell, Victreebel, Magmar and Pinsir. The story, the Gyms and the map are the same.
Where are Mewtwo and the legendary birds in Red and Blue?
Mewtwo is at the back of Cerulean Cave, at level 70, and the cave only opens once you are Champion. Articuno is in the Seafoam Islands, Zapdos in the Power Plant and Moltres on Victory Road, each at level 50. There is only one of each.
Are the types on this page the ones Red and Blue had?
Not all of them. This page shows each Pokémon's types as they are today. Red and Blue had 15 types: Dark and Steel arrived in Gold and Silver and Fairy in X and Y, so Magnemite was plain Electric and Clefairy was Normal. There was also a single Special stat, later split into Special Attack and Special Defense.
