Mankey and Primeape live the most sad and lonely existence. They basically spend their entire lives angry and alone.

Mankey : It can spontaneously become enraged. Everyone near it clears out as it rampages, and the resulting loneliness makes it angrier still.

Primeape: It has been known to become so angry that it dies as a result. Its face looks peaceful in death, however.

Why did they change the sprites from RG to RB? You'd think they'd want to do as little work as possible and re-use as much as they could

Because the US Red/Blue are based upon Japanese Blue, as opposed to the original Japanese Red/Green versions, IIRC.

That's not Pokemon Blue, that's Pokemon Yellow. While they kept the same sprite for the rear view of the player's Pokemon, the forward facing views were redone.

As goofy as a good number of those are, I gotta say there's something really cool about the Gen 1 Gastly line.

They should do a ghost type mankey based on this. Looks almost like wispy tendrils, tentacles or worms coming out of it. Could be bug/Fighting type mankey that has a parasite controlling it.

Yea. In Japan they had 4 games in gen 1

Red and Green
Blue was a slight update. Our red and blue's sprites are from that, but with wild pokemon of Red and Green.

And then Yellow

Is there much difference between JPN RG and US RB other than the sprites?

I never claimed otherwise.. or in fact even mentioned yellow as AlCalavicci asked the differences between JPN red/green and Blue.
