When did the first 150 lightning came out?

The first 150 Pokémon were introduced in the original Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Green, which were released in Japan on February 27, 1996. These games featured the original Pokémon species, including the first 150, with Pikachu being the most recognizable among them. The franchise has since expanded significantly, but those original Pokémon laid the foundation for the series.
