Translated text:
The 30th anniversary of Pokémon begins! It's been 30 years since the release of "Pokémon Red and Green." Pokémon will celebrate its 30th anniversary on Friday, February 27, 2026. This year is going to be the best year yet! Stay tuned! #Pokémon30thAnniversary
Red and Blue, surely?
No. Red and green were released in Japan first. Only afterwards it was red/blue worldwide (and iirc in 98, not 96).
Red and Blue are the international releases of Gen 1 that came out about 2 years after Red/Green.
