This was, along with Pocket Monsters Red, the first Pokémon games ever released. It is a little bit different, though. That is because it had some flaws that people complained about that were fixed in Pocket Monsters Blue, or the Pokémon Red and Blue which were released in North America.

One main flaw with Green and Red are that there were many glitches, often gamebreaking.

There are some other flaws that were fixed in the North American releases, such as:

• During Oak’s lecture at the start of the game, the Nidorino’s cry actually belongs to a Nidorina.
• Missingno has an actual Pokedex entry, unlike in Blue where the entry is glitched up.
• The Pokémon only found through in-game trade were found in the wild in the Blue version.

We all know about the international releases of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue and the remakes of the Japanese Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green known as Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen as a worldwide release on the GBA. Japan did get a Pokémon Blue but the rest of the world did not get a Pokémon Green. For those hardcore fans that are curious enough to play the Japanese game, there is an English translation patch for Pokémon Green! The title screen has been updated, so the patch is complete now. Original Release date was 19 October 2007.

This patch is for a Pocket Monsters - Green Version (J) (V1.0) ROM. Pocket Monsters - Green Version (J) (V1.1) will not work. The file with [S] at the end is fine with this version.

Pokémon is Pocket Monsters in Japan.

Please note: Despite the patch version being labeled “1.0″, the only things that have been altered are items, NPCs, and other text up to and including the first NPC of Tokiwa (Viridian) Forest.
