Nintendo is pitting Pokémon Red and Blue fans against each other

Nintendo wants to know which Pokémon version you're willing to fight for

Hot off its Super Bowl 50 appearance, Pokémon is pitting another two teams against each other to settle a 20-year-old debate once and for all: Red or Blue?

The theme of the upcoming Splatfest - a regular multiplayer event in Splatoon, where players fight for one of two opposing sides - tasks players with representing their favorite original Pokémon game.

The event is global, though Japanese players get to rep Pokémon Green instead of Blue, as Green and Red were the original lineup before the games went international in 1998.

The re-release of the classic Pokémon games hit the Nintendo eShop on February 27, and will present fans of catching them all yet another chance to demonstrate which version is their favorite.
