The plot of the game was basically the same. Red And Blue Versions, but it gave players a Pikachu out of the gate, let them catch all three starters, and even added in fights with Team Rocket’s Jesse and James.

As for the final backwards compatible Japanese title…that’s a little up in the air. Some sources claim the answer is Pony Canyon’s Shogi 3While others may point to One Piece: Maboroshi No Grand Line Boukenki. There’s enough of a debate about their exact release dates to create a reasonable margin of error. Nintendo was open to exclusive Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games in early 2002.
