There wouldn’t be so much confusion if they just released Red and Green internationally

LGPE should have just retconned Blue Oak's name back to Green Oak.

This is also the reason why Bulbasaur's color is inconsistent between gens. For Japs, green and blue are different shades of the same color.

They wouldn’t have had to mess it up if Venusaur wasn’t so damn ugly they couldn’t put it on a box cover without fear of their game failing.

Literally doesn’t matter since its just a cosmetic change. All they had to do was take the game and call it whatever version they want, in this case Green for the west.

But Green/Leaf's canon starter is Bulbasaur.

Marketers figured Red and Green weren't as marketable as Red and Blue.

If this chart is anything to go by it shouldve been blue and green. Even green and purple wouldve had more appeal.

Probably a lot more to do with Blue being used as the base of the localization than that.

She was never appeared with Bulbasaur in any official media.
While Bulbasaur always appeared with Red except in Origins.

The same reason they gave Red the green starter and Blue the red starter. At the time, nobody gave a shit what Pokemon were assigned to whom. Only thing was constant was this: Rival (Blue) had to have a stronger starter than the player (Red). Red was given Bulbasaur because it's #1 in the dex. Red (character 1) gets starter 1. Rival (character 2) gets starter 2. And female gets starter 3 by default.
