Pokemon Red and Blue

The earliest version of Kanto was in the Gameboy classics, Pokemon Red and Blue. As a result Kanto was nothing more than black and white pixels. Back then it may have seemed like the map was big but by today’s standard it is surprisingly small.

Pokemon Yellow

Pokemon Yellow was very similar to Pokemon Red and Blue but encapsulated the story from the Pokemon anime. It was released on the Gameboy Color which meant the Kanto region had a little more colour to it. Cities were distinguished by various colours. For example, Cerulean City was blue and Lavender Town purple.

Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green

With Fire Red and Leaf Green utilising the improved Gameboy Advance hardware, Kanto had numerous colours for the first time.
