Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow Home
Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow were originally released between 1996 and 2000 for the Nintendo Game Boy. The original cartridges are able to trade and battle with each other, and with the Game Boy Color games Gold, Silver, and Crystal, using the Game Boy Link Cable. They are also able to communicate with the Nintendo 64 Stadium series using the Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak.
The games were released again in 2016, as digital downloads on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console. These versions of the games are also able to trade and battle with each other, as well as the 3DS rereleases of Gold, Silver, and Crystal, but are no longer able to communicate with any Pokémon Stadium game. The 3DS versions of the games are able to send Pokémon (one-way) to the 3DS application Pokémon Bank, from which they can be transferred to the 3DS games Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, and (one-way) the Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 application Pokémon HOME.
The first 151 Pokémon in the National Pokédex are obtainable in these games.
