Reverted to b&w
I know some people may not like this, but I reverted the image back to its original black and white rendition, which I think more truly reflects the monochromatic appearance of the original game. --

I was comparing the articles Pokemon Red and Blue with Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Fire and Leaf and didn´t understand why the Game Boy version screenshot was colored, me as a user, prefer the w & b version. --
Pink background
Can I ask why this picture is repeatedly reverted to a version where there is a pink background? I had updated the picture with color correction (so the background was white), but it has reverted back to an off-color version each time. --

Even the Super Game Boy didn't display this many colours if the game if the game did not specifically support it. I played Pokemon Red on Super Game Boy, and it never looked this good. As per Me2NiK, I concur that this is not truly Pokemon Red. --

Even if it is from a Super GameBoy or Pokemon Stadium game, that shouldn't matter as the original games are monochrome. The rationale for reverting to a colored version was that it "looks better", which ultimately is a matter of preference and shouldn't have any bearing. Personally, I think the monocrome version more accurately illustrates the game than a colored version from a later period. --
