Why didn't the US get Pokémon Green?

Pokémon Green was never released in America because the developers used the improved Japanese Pokémon Blue as the foundation for the international versions, combining its updated graphics, bug fixes, and engine with Pokémon availability from both Japanese Red and Green, releasing them as Pokémon Red and Blue for broader appeal and to avoid confusion. Green was essentially an older, glitchier version that didn't offer enough unique content to warrant a separate Western release when Blue already served as the superior base.
