[[Image:GSC Trainer Red.png|thumb|right|100px|Red sprite from Generation II]]
'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.
By the [[Generation II]] games, he has arguably become a [[Pokémon Master]]. It is assumed, however, that [[Lance]] defeated Red in the [[Pokémon League]], because now Lance is the Champion. Red trains constantly on [[Mt. Silver]] and doesn't say anything to any [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] he may come across.


==Pokémon==
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.
Red is technically the most highly-skilled Trainer in the Generation II series. His team is probably an advanced version from Pokémon Yellow.

[[Category:Game characters]]
While he had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') in several [[core series]] games where he appears as a [[non-player character]], in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and he is known by {{mas|Red|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He is also known by this name in the game data of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], but this is not seen in normal gameplay. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]].
 
In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the player name refers to the name of the current game: '''{{j|レッド}}'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|グリーン}}'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''{{j|ブルー}}'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''{{sup/1|Y}} (''Red'', ''Green'', ''Blue'', or ''Yellow''). However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance:
 
* In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:
*:「'''レッド'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Red''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|R}}
*:「'''グリーン'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Green''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|G}}
*:「'''ブルー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Blue''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|B}}
*:「'''イエロー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Yellow''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|Y}}
* In the English manuals (except his age is not mentioned in Pokémon Yellow's English manual):
*: ''"'''You''' are an 11-old boy [...]"''{{sup/1|RB}}
 
In the Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}}, he is named '''{{j|レッド}}''' (''Red'') in the Pokémon Red deck and '''{{j|グリーン}}''' (''Green'') in the Pokémon Green deck. The text {{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}} (''player character'') also appears on his card from both the Red and Green decks. However, in the Pokémon Blue and Yellow decks released later, he is unnamed and simply referred to with this Japanese text meaning "player character".
 
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the male player character is named '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, or '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}} (while the {{ga|Leaf|female player character}} is named Fire{{sup/3|FR}} or Leaf{{sup/3|LG}}).
 
He was also named '''Ash''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''' ''Satoshi'') in some early official media, sharing the name of {{Ash|his anime counterpart}}. This is also found in the list of default names. The Japanese version is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names.
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, the player is named '''サトシ''' (''Satoshi'') according to [[Game Freak]], in which his appearance (as well as [[Professor Oak]] and [[Giovanni]]) in the then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games was teased.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> This may indicate that this name was originally considered for this game character.
* In ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), the player is named '''Ash''' (while the rival is named Gary at this point).
* In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2000), he is usually named '''Red''' in several sections explaining the story and mechanics of the games, except he is also named '''Ash''' at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2001), some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out:
*: ''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4)
*: ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)
 
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], the male version of the character known only as "{{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}}" is based on Red.
 
He is also known by some other placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''[[Nintendo|Ninten]]'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|B}}; '''ゲーフリ1''' ''Gēfuri1''{{sup/1|Y}}). At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} were changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref>
 
* The English "'''Ninten'''" is short for [[Nintendo]], while the rival's placeholder name is "Sony" in those games. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
* The Japanese '''やまぐち''' (''Yamaguchi'') refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.
* The Japanese '''ゲーフリ''' (''Gēfuri'') and '''ゲーフリ1''' (''Gēfuri1'') refer to [[Game Freak]] (Japanese: ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').
 
In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named '''オサム''' (''Osamu'').<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスター ファイアレッド・リーフグリーン - Pokémon.co.jp]</ref>
 
In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, his placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo" (while his {{ga|Leaf|female counterpart}} is known as "Jaho" instead of "Hoja").
 
==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.
 
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.
 
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.
 
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.
 
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.
 
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.
 
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.
 
Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.
 
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.
 
===Pokémon===
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].
 
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.
 
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.
 
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.
 
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, including Pokémon that he's never used in any of his previous NPC appearances.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.
 
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.
 
==In the spin-off games==
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
====Pokémon Trainer====
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.
 
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.
 
====Other references====
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.
 
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Style (GO)}}
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].
 
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Red (Masters)}}
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (game)}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.
 
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.

==Quotes==
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}
 
==Optional names==
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

==In the TFG==
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.
 
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.
 
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====Main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.
 
Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.
{{-}}
 
====Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.
{{-}}
 
====Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].
 
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.
 
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.

==Trivia==
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref>
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.
