In an episode of Flagrant, Paul made it clear which Pokemon game holds a special place in his heart. The first generation of Pokemon gaming, Pokemon Red and Blue, and later Pokemon Yellow as a special edition, is the edition Paul finds himself going back to continuously. Paul reveals that once every three years, he'll get the urge to buy a Gameboy Color and a copy of Pokemon Red or Pokemon Yellow to satisfy his monster-catching craving. For the social media sensation, the original release of the first 151 Pokemon is the one Paul finds to be the most appealing of all generations in existence.

Released to the world in 1998, Pokemon Red and Blue hit the market and became a global phenomenon for any child who convinced their parents to shell out enough money for a Gameboy and a copy of either Pokemon Red or Blue. Whether it's the simplistic battle mechanics, the collectible pocket monsters, or the catchy tunes of the soundtrack, the game had it all. In Japan, it sold over one million copies by the end of 1996
