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 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]], his name depends on the current game: '''Red'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Green'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''Blue'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Yellow'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''', '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|ブルー}}''', or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''). However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance:

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:

In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the player's name appears as '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}.
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 ''[[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 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}}) or '''Red'''{{sup/3|FRLG}} (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red''). 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.]].

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").

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 [[starter 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.

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 the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], 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 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 starter [[Mega Stone]]s.

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.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===
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.
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.


During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.
===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.


====Pokémon====
==In the spin-off games==
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{ga|Red's Pikachu|his Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.
===[[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]].


=====Round 1=====
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{Party/Single
{{main|Red (Masters)}}
|color={{red color}}
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.
|headcolor={{red color light}}
 
|bordercolor={{red color dark}}
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.

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.

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}}.

Red's [[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 starters, 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.

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 [[starter Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.

|vajp=Fumiko Orikasa

|desc={{p|Pikachu}} is one of Red's Pokémon and has been used by him in many of his battles.


Red encountered Pikachu while in [[Viridian Forest]]. He sent out his {{p|Bulbasaur}} against it, but {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a {{i|Poké Ball}} without battling. After catching it, Red immediately let it out its Poké Ball and had it battle a {{p|Caterpie}}.
==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.
Pikachu continued to travel with its Trainer throughout [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]], battling against Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.}}
** 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}}:
* When Red caught Pikachu, he was revealed to have already obtained at least two other Pokémon besides Bulbasaur.
** {{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.

==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 {{pkmn2|starter}} 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]], {{mas|Red}} is heard speaking several times.
::::In his [[Sygna Suit]] [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story, he speaks a single line:
:::::''"… … … … … … Words are unnecessary!"''
::::In Chapter 30, he speaks two lines:
:::::''"…I accept your challenge!"''
:::::''"Congratulations! You won!"''
::::Also in Chapter 30, Red's thoughts are heard once as well:
:::::''"{{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Leaf}}… Let's win this—together!"''
::::He speaks a single line in the {{DL|Special event|Blazing Battle with Ash}} [[special event]]:
:::::''"…I'll be waiting."''
::::He speaks a single line during the {{DL|Neo Champions|Three Trainers, Three Minds}} event:
:::::''"… … … Let's have a fun battle!"''
* 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 eight 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 ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.
