Pokémon Red and Blue were the games that started it all in America. People slowly started buying the games and soon it was such a big hit that they even made a cartoon out of it which just made it a bigger success. The basic object of the games is to capture all 150 Pokémon and collect all 8 gym badges while trying to fight off your rival. Prof. Oak would give you a basic Pokémon in the beginning: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Charmander. Then it was all up to you. Soon people learned about the 151’s Pokémon, Mew!
