Red is a young Trainer from [[Pallet Town]] who is on his way to see {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}} in order for him to begin his Pokémon Journey. He bumps into someone who he immediately recognizes as {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} and Green immediately recognizes him as well. It turns out that both of them are Trainers who are about to begin their journey. They end up becoming rivals and race to [[Professor Oak's laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. On his way to the lab, Red encounters a giant {{p|Nidoran♂}} who warns him to watch out for them as they are monsters. The male Nidoran breathes fire on Red when Red laughed at the advice. Red then encounters a violent male {{p|Clefairy}} and together they defeat the giant Nidoran♂ by accident. Red heads to the lab with Clefairy following him only to find out that Green got there first. After Green chose his Pokémon, Red noticed that Clefairy followed him to the laboratory. He chooses to travel with the Clefairy because he finds his antics amusing. Red is then given a [[Pokédex]] from Professor Oak and is sent on a quest to find out more about Pokémon.

With Clefairy still gone, Red decides to go fishing and puffs up. He notices a motorcycle from the distance and it was none other then Clefairy. Red was happy to see him. He noticed that Clefairy carried a bag containing a {{p|Marill}}. Due to Marill being a new species, he ran to Johto to find out.

Red arrived in [[New Bark Town]] and goes inside the lab there. Professor Oak gets a visit from him and introduces him to {{OBP|Gold|Pocket Monsters}}, {{OBP|Silver|Pocket Monsters}} and [[Professor Elm]]. Red is given an upgraded Pokédex from Professor Oak and a Pokégear. Professor Elm then gives Red an {{pkmn|Egg}}. He promises his two new friends, Gold and Silver, luck on their journeys as they set off. While journeying in Johto, Red gets a call from Professor Oak that a {{p|Chikorita}} was stolen and both wondered who would do such thing. Inside the house, Professor Oak plays the recording of the theft of Chikorita and Red deduces the fact that it wasn't Gold or Silver who stole the Chikorita. As Professor Elm came by, Red is shown an image of Clefairy being responsible even though Clefairy was innocent. Afterwards, Red and his Pokémon go searching for the missing Chikorita and find it in an alley. The mysterious Trainer also appears in the alley and reveals himself to Red as the one responsible for taking Chikorita. Red battles Chikorita since it was not willing to give up its Trainer. However, as Pikachu took it out with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, the mysterious Trainer reveals himself to be none other than Green and explains to Red the situation with Chikorita. After Green told the story, Chikorita allows Red to get it returned to Professor Oak's.

With all of the tough battles in Johto behind them, Red goes to a house to relax in and meets [[Professor Birch]], a professor from [[Hoenn]] who gives him which Pokémon he wants to start with. Red chooses {{p|Torchic}} due to its ditzy nature. However, before going to Hoenn, he returns Torchic to Professor Birch.

He continues his journey in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]], the sequel to Pokémon Pocket Monsters that takes place in Hoenn. Red meets some monks who accuse Clefairy of stealing dumplings. As they found the real thief, a {{p|Zigzagoon}}, Red goes searching for it and during the middle of the search, Clefairy destroys the monks's {{wp|taiko}}. During the parade, Red watches on as Clefairy became the taiko substitute. In Littleroot Town, he reunites with Professor Birch at a fishing lodge and challenges him to various contests, in which Professor Birch wins them all.

Red goes to a faraway place where he meets the Mew there. Mew traveled with him for a while until Clefairy went primitive. He then went to an unnamed location where he caught Scyther, Slugma, Shiftry and Alakazam in order to surprise Clefairy for a barbecue. Reaching the end of their trip in the Hoenn region, a {{p|Poliwhirl}} saves the group from a rock slide and then revealed to them that a Pokémon Ranger was the one who actually did it. Red chases after the Pokémon Ranger and Poliwhirl as he want to meet him. Red watched Clefairy wake up a Feraligatr in order for Red to get his wish. The Feraligatr chases Clefairy and attacks him with {{m|Slash}} and then walks off. Red did not believe that it would work but the Pokémon Ranger came by and another chase went on. As they got closer, the Pokémon Ranger was none other than an old man with a fishing rod to tie up Poliwhirl, much to Red's disappointment.

After his travels in Hoenn, Red continues his journey in [[Sinnoh]] in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}, the second sequel of Pokémon Pocket Monsters. During Red's first time in Sinnoh, he meets a {{p|Chatot}} and {{p|Bonsly}}, where Chatot give him a copy of {{game|Pearl}}. However, since Clefairy threw it in the air, Red had to race for it to get it back and it landed in a {{p|Sharpedo}}'s mouth. As Clefairy fought Sharpedo to get it back, the game flew out of Sharpedo's mouth and landed in Red's hands. As Red was enjoying it, Clefairy gets chased by Sharpedo. Red goes to a Pokémon Center afterwards where the nurse there mentions about an underground place that no one should go to. Red decides to check it out. The nurse calls on some Pokémon inside to force Red and his Pokémon to leave. However, Red found a treasure box which revealed Professor Oak's assignment that had terrible grades on them.

Red gets the middle part of his head shaved and completely hides it from his Pokémon until Clefairy took his hat. Clefairy tries to fix it up but it made Red look worse. After Red's hair grew back, he goes swimming and gets challenged to a race by {{p|Prinplup}}. Later, he meets [[Looker]] of the International Police who ends up chasing them when he got tired of Clefairy's antics. When Red gave up being chased by Looker, it was revealed that Looker had something to give them all this time. Red encounters Team Galactic again in a casino where he finds them in the basement. [[Charon]] is alerted about this and has his Pokémon attack him. However, Clefairy slams the door on them and Red frees the imprisoned Pokémon in the process. As Team Galactic got away, Red laughs as Tyrogue, Clefairy and Pikachu get stuck inside one of the slot machines, spitting out coins.

Red returned to Johto in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters HGSS|Kosaku Anakubo}}. He completes in the Pokéathlon where Professor Elm and his Sudowoodo were in charge of. During the Pokéathlon, Red's Pokémon does some various competitions there. Later, when he and his Pokémon were playing in the playground, one of the Team Rocket grunts lay out a piece of pie as a trap. As Clefairy went for the pie, Red went chasing after him and into Team Rocket's hideout. Inside, Professor Oak is also there while Red was trying to rescue Clefairy. Later, he watches when Tyrogue falls in love with the disguise Clefairy put on.

Red has his last travels with Tyrogue as he shares a loaf of bread with his Pokémon, which result them in fighting. As Tyrogue tells the group about his time with the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman of Johto and where they met, Red becomes sad about that. Red dumps out his bag and admires the badges he got from the Johto Gym Leaders. He then notices that Tyrogue is lifted in the air by his own mind. As Tyrogue was lifted in the air, Red meets Tyrogue's evolutions, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Hitmontop. Red has a picnic with them and Tyrogue chooses to stay with them. Accepting Tyrogue's choice, Red, Pikachu and Clefairy ride on their bikes into the sunset while Tyrogue stays with his evolutionary members.

Red went to the [[Unova]] region in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}. Professor Juniper was the first human Red met there. She asks him about choosing a starter Pokémon. Later, Red challenges Cilan, Chili and Cress to a Gym battle using his Clefairy and somehow wins when his Clefairy takes advantage of their Pokémon's attacks by turning them into tea. Red meets a {{TP|Red|Conkeldurr}} and it travels with him.
