Pokémon Origins (Japanese: ポケットモンスター THE ORIGIN Pocket Monsters: The Origin) is a miniseries that first aired in its entirety in Japan on October 2, 2013 and premiered the first episode in English on Pokémon TV on November 15, 2013, with subsequent episodes following on November 18, 20, and 22, 2013. The plot closely follows that of Pokémon Red and Green, but is aesthetically based on the artwork, sprites and other minor elements from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen (and to a far lesser extent, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver), as well as including some unique features, such as Blue's green jacket and Mega Evolution. It stars Red as the protagonist and Blue as Red's rival.
The story is split into four episodes.
