Pokemon Red and Blue have a strange development process that I'm sure many of us are at least somewhat familiar with. I will explain some of it here briefly so that my proposal makes more sense:
Pocket Monsters Red and Green were released in Japan on February 27, 1996.
Pocket Monsters Blue was released in Japan on October 15, 1996. This version contained an updated tileset for the overworld, different location data for otherwise unobtainable Pokemon (such as Jynx and Lickitung), and an altered Cerulean Cave layout.
Pokemon Red and Blue were then released in the United States on September 28, 1998 (and later internationally). This version was built off of the original Red and Green, using its location data, and Cerulean Cave layout. These games do use the updated tileset and in-battle sprites from Japanese Blue.
My proposition is to combine Pokemon Green and Pokemon Red/Blue into one game. While Japanese Blue's changes to Red/Green are significant, it is still cut from the same cloth as Red/Green. I have attached a sheet which includes the sprites from the original Red/Green, as well as the updated sprites from Japanese Blue/International Red/Blue.
My only goal here is to help organize these games, as the Pokemon Green page currently lacks the original tileset, and only has the Pokemon sprites, the SGB borders, and the Japanese title screens, which could feasibly be moved to the Pokemon Red/Blue page.
If the combining of these two games is not possible, I would still like to submit the attached sheet under both games' Pokemon section.
