Missing links

[deathwish2120]

Hi im new. im just getting into the games and ive done a little research on the games and i have to ask, why did pokemon green only out in japan, why isnt there a pokemo9n bronze, bronze silver gold, what bout water blue, and green rescue team. why have they left them out instead of releasing them

In Japan, the first games were Red and Green, followed by Blue which improved on their base. When they came to America, it was decided to release the two games under Blue's improvements so there was no need for Green.

Gold and Silver sounds better than Bronze and Silver. When Crystal was decided on, it sounded better than bronze which would have the connotation of being inferior to the first two despite being an updated version.

FireRed and LeafGreen is enough. We always get two versions of the games. Three would be needlessly pushing it.

In addition for Mystery Dungeon, the main difference is the system they are on (GBA for Red; DS for Blue) and there isn't a third handheld.
