The Spanish translation of the first generation Pokémon games is known for being very poor quality with many translation errors. One of the most remarkable mistakes is the translation of the move "Slam" into "Portazo", which actually means "Door Slam". This name remains even in the latest games (5th Generation).

The article "the" is used when announcing trainers for battle (for example, Charlie the Bug Catcher. It worked for typical trainers but not Gym Leaders, Elite Four, your rival, or link battles. A screenshot in the instruction manual of the English Red and Blue still contains the text "The Brock wants to fight!", possibly suggesting a late removal. The instruction manual also calls them Pokemon Leaders, instead of Gym Leaders.

Kingler's front-facing sprite erroneously depicts its claws as equal in size, when in reality the right claw is actually much smaller than the left.
Strangely enough, in the original Japanese Red and Green versions, the claws are their correct sizes. The claws are once again their correct sizes in Yellow version.
Additionally, the side that the larger claw appears on was changed after Generation I. The bigger claw became the left claw while the smaller claw became the right.

The blurb on the back of the boxes states that 139 different Pokémon can be obtained in each game without trading. This, however, includes all Pokémon that the player must choose between (i.e., both the Omanyte and Kabuto families are counted). Therefore, the true total of different Pokémon obtainable in one adventure without trading is 124, which excludes the two unchosen starter families, one Fossil family, two Eeveelutions, one of Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, and the four Pokémon that only evolve when traded.

Red and Blue's default names in the game's coding are Ninten and Sony, respectively, a reference to Nintendo's rivalry with Sony in the gaming industry, i.e. the Playstation vs. the N64.

There is a glitch where the player can fish in large statues found in gyms and Indigo Plateau, even being able to catch Pokemon. You can find Magikarps with the Old Rod, Poliwags and Goldeens with the Good Rod, and Krabbies, Psyducks, and Goldeens with the Super Rod. The Super Rod only works in the Cerulean City gym. You can also surf on these large statues, but no Pokemon will appear while surfing.

There were originally going to be 190 Pokemon instead of 151; 39 of them were later moved to Pokemon Gold and Silver. By checking the game's code, you can see the orders in which the Pokemon were entered into the game, Rhydon being first and ending with Victreebel. Since Ken Sugimori, the designer of the Pokemon, confirmed that Rhydon was the first Pokemon ever designed, it can also be inferred that the Pokemon were put into the game in the order in which they were originally intended to appear in the Pokedex. The ordering also proves that all 190 Pokemon were conceived before the original games' release.

The original Red and Green Versions were supposed to have a female trainer along with the male trainers, Red and Blue. She was most likely removed due to hardware restrictions, but is still seen on the official strategy guide and artwork. The character was used as the character 'Green' in the comic and 'Leaf' in the remake, FireRed and LeafGreen.

The three legendary birds (Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres) are puns on elements, as well as numbers in the Spanish language. Articuno is Arctic (ice) and uno (one), Zapdos is Zap (electricity) and dos (two), and Moltres is Molten (fire) and tres (three). This is also the order that they appear in the National Pokédex.
