Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue
This is perhaps the most misunderstood correlation in Pokémon. In the US, we only got Red and Blue, whereas in Japan they got Red, Blue, and Green. Some idiots claim that US Blue is Japan's Green. Some other idiots claim that the monsters in Green are split between the US Red and Blue. I'll tell you the truth. In the US, there is a limited edition version of Pokémon that only appeared in a few stores. Only a few hundred copies were ever made. That's right, I am talking about Pokémon Swedish Chef!

| In Pokémon Swedish Chef you are the head of the infamous Swedish Chef! |
Hard to believe? Yeah I know. It was quickly removed from the shelves when Jim Henson Productions sued Nintendo over the rights to the likeness of the Swedish Chef. Those fortunate to have purchased a copy beforehand experienced Pokémon in a light none of us ever will.
Instead of using pokéballs, the Swedish Chef simply threw his chef's hat over the pokémon to capture it. And his pokédex also has pokémon cooking recipes. Most importantly, Swedish Chef edition has Pokémon you cannot find in Red or Blue! The most infamous of which is Elmomon. Its giggle attack sends the opponent's pokémon into such a fit of terror that it immediately dies of heart failure! Unfortunately, if you have Red or Blue, this turns into a MissingNo. when traded.

| Look! An Elmomon! I must be very careful to catch this elusive pokémon! |
And now for what you've all been waiting for! Hard, core, NUDITY!
Pokémon Yellow
Executive at Nintendo: Mr. President sir! Don't you think we've made enough pokémon games and merchandise?!
President: Never! I won't stop till I have all of the Japanese children! And American too! Gotta catch 'em all!
Executive: Sir! Your eyes, they're....they're glowing! Why?! (Steps back terrified)
John Romero: (Steps into scene from nowhere) Muwahahahaha! Now he is in my control! He never wanted to release Pokémon Green! He said two was enough! The fool! Green forever!
Executive: (Runs away screaming)
So yeah. There you have it folks. Why we have a million Pokémon games and a million more to come. I can describe them all under here. See that description of Red and Blue? Well reread it, and you've just read the description for every pokémon game that will ever exist.
