How to increase the Storage system in Pokemon Red?

Question

Hey guys,

I'm playing the old school Pokemon Red. However I am not able to deposit or withdrawal Pokemon from the storage box since it is full. I only have Bill box 1. Is there a possibility to increase the storage system with a box 2 in Pokemon red? If so, how do I do this?

Thanks in advance!

I know gen 1 is glitchy, but this is ridiculous. (How'd you even fill up the box after catching the 151 anyways?)

In Gen I, if you the box was full when you caught a Pokémon, instead of moving to Box 2 it would simply disappear.

"Congratulations! Mewtwo was caught!"
"Mewtwo was transferred to Box 1!"
"Box 1 is full. Mewtwo was lost forever. Screw you."

according to http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Storage_System#Core_series_games
"Starting in Generation V, the number of Boxes in the Pokémon Storage System is initially limited"
Gen V is Black and White, which is quite a bit after Pokemon Red
Which means you should have all of the boxes possible at the start of the game, which is 12

Answer 1

In Gen 1, there's an option to change the box when interacting with Bill's PC at a PC Station. It will require saving the game.
