Pokémon Red and Blue Versions, commonly shortened as Pokémon Red and Blue, are the first two international Pokémon releases. In Japan, the original pair were Pocket Monsters Red and Green, which were then followed by the enhanced version, Pocket Monsters Blue. Pokémon Yellow, which was based upon the anime series, would later be released internationally.

Internationally, the games were referred to as "Pokémon", as it is a Romanized contraction of the Japanese brand, "Poketto Monsutā" (Pocket Monsters).
