Spin-off first-generation titles include Pokémon Pinball an adaptation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game for Game Boy Color an on-rails photography simulator for Nintendo 64 titled Pokémon Snap a Nintendo 64 Pokémon-themed adaptation of Tetris Attack, Pokémon Puzzle League. These versions of the games take place within the fictional Kanto region, though the name "Kanto" was not used until the second generation. This first generation of games introduced the original 151 species of Pokémon (in National Pokédex order, encompassing all Pokémon from Bulbasaur to Mew), as well as the basic game concepts of capturing, training, battling and trading Pokémon with both computer and human players. Afterwards, a second enhanced remake, Pokémon Yellow, was released to use the color palette of the Game Boy Color and more of a stylistic resemblance to the popular Pokémon anime. The original Green version was not released outside Japan. When these games proved popular, an enhanced Blue version was released sometime after, and the Blue version was reprogrammed as Pokémon Red and Blue for international release.
