Talk:Pokémon Red and Blue/Version Differences

Sucks
Here's a suggestion for the organization. Something along the lines of a heading for "Version Differences" documenting glitches fixed. Another heading for "Localization Changes" with subheadings for "(Translation) Errors", "Censorship", "Details Lost in Translation".

Also, it is of my opinion that the intentional differences between Japanese Red and Green vs. Japanese Blue need not be documented. I already removed the sprites, and hope that Game Corner and others will follow suit. However, the unused (is it unused in every Gen 1 release?) Butterfree for Beedrill trade does need to remain; however, the other trade information is worthless in my opinion.

I also feel that the Unknown Dungeon/Cerulean Cave maps don't belong. At the very least, the Yellow version and FireRed/LeafGreen version don't belong, as Yellow is a different game and FireRed/LeafGreen's is as similar to Red/Green's as any other map in FireRed/LeafGreen is to it's Red/Blue counterpart. Has it been stated why the change was made between Japanese Red/Green and Japanese Blue?

Finally, in a comment in the article is There are minor differences in the credits between the North American English and European English versions of Red and Blue. Are there? I've downloaded every ROM I could get my hands on, but there doesn't seem to be any alternate English versions. I'm pretty sure American, Canadian, European, and Australian English versions are the exact same.

Versions
Here is a list of versions. This can help determine, for example, which European versions have certain glitches fixed. These are listed based on their base code. Note how the European versions are grouped. This is because they seem to share a more similar code base (they share the same character table, and certain glitches fixed in Spanish is also fixed in Italian). How can we incorporate this into the article?


 * 1) Japanese Red/Green 1.0
 * 2) Japanese Red/Green 1.1
 * 3) Japanese Blue
 * 4) English Red/Blue
 * 5) German and French Red/Blue
 * 6) Spanish and Italian Red/Blue

Details Lost or Changed in Translation
Why, if I may ask, do we have this? I thought we didn't cover changes in translation since that is kind of what happens when you translate a game into another languages. If this is an example, thousands of others are to follow. -- Sheeza 11:44, 3 January 2013 (EST)


 * See also the "this page sucks" at the top of the page. No one ever told me about this rule, and when I split all this off from the main article, this felt like the smartest way to organize it. Also no one ever told me whether or not we cover that, but all those examples were already in the main article when I split it. I'd like some more official word on this.
