Örby is a residential area in Söderort, Stockholm Municipality, Sweden. It has an area of 159 hectares and 4,720 inhabitants.

Örby got its name from the Örby Manor (Örby slott), as does the neighbouring residential area of Örby slott. Örby was instituted as a so-called "municipalsamhälle" (a kind of borough within a rural municipality) within Brännkyrka in 1904. The area was amalgamated with the City of Stockholm in 1913 and the municipalsamhälle was dissolved. In the present administration of the city, it is part of the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör stadsdelsnämndsområde (borough).

Communications

Örby was served by trams between 1930 and 1951 (line 19, at the time called Örbybanan, "the Örby line"), but has now bus connections with the Stockholm Metro at the stations in Bandhagen and Högdalen as well as the Stockholm commuter rail station at Älvsjö.

Schools

The first school in Örby was called the "red school" because of its wall colour. It was built in 1904. This was replaced by Örby skola in 1915, designed by architect Georg A. Nilsson. It looks exactly like the schools in Gamla Enskede and Långbro and is sometimes mistaken for a church due to its size and shape.

Pokémon Red and Blue

Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version, originally released in Japan as Pocket Monsters: Red & Green (Japanese: ポケットモンスター 赤・緑, Hepburn: Poketto Monsutā Aka Midori), are role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. They are the first installments of the Pokémon series. They were first released in Japan in 1996 as Red and Green, with Blue (ポケットモンスター青, Poketto Monsutā Ao) being released later in the year as a special edition. They were later released as Red and Blue in North America, Europe and Australia over the following three years. Pokémon Yellow, a special edition version, was released roughly a year later. Red and Green have subsequently been remade for the Game Boy Advance as Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, released in 2004.

The player controls the main character from an overhead perspective and navigates him throughout the fictional region of Kanto in a quest to master Pokémon battling. The goal of the games is to become the champion of the Pokémon League by defeating the eight Gym Leaders, then the top four Pokémon trainers in the land, the Elite Four. Another objective is to complete the Pokédex, an in-game encyclopedia, by obtaining the 150 available Pokémon. The nefarious Team Rocket provide an antagonistic force, as does the player's childhood rival. Red and Blue utilize the Game Link Cable, which connects two games together and allows Pokémon to be traded or battled between games. Both titles are independent of each other but feature the same plot and, while they can be played separately, it is necessary for players to trade among the two in order to obtain all of the first 150 Pokémon. The 151st Pokémon (Mew) is available only through a glitch in the game or an official distribution by Nintendo.
