^ In Japan, the first games were Red and Green, so the protagonist and rival are Red and Green, while a third person introduced to have someone with each starter was Blue. However, when released outside of Japan, the games were changed to Red and Blue, so the third person had to be named Green instead. Either way, Yellow is Yellow.

Actually, Blue was the third version in Japan, which had some fixes compared to the original Red and Green. The international Red and Blue were based on the Japanese Blue. Yellow is a fourth version made after the success of the anime.

Now we're cooking. This feels like Blue grew up since her game though and then met Yellow during her own adventure.

Is this to celebrate Green finally showing up in a Pokemon game?
Also, I know there's a lot of purists in this site, but let's go with the western naming so everyone involved knows who are people talking about.

I'm not complaining, since I wouldn't understand the tag if it were different, but it is pretty funny that the name in the tag and the name in the picture are different.
