No official confirmation and "source" is too vague to be considered reliable. The SV protagonists are also listed by their given names on the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet article, so I don't see why it shouldn't also apply here.
(→Core series: There's not much confirmation on these characters names, let's wait until launch or merch with their name is made.) |

In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]. They | In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]. They usually start their journey in their [[hometown]] by getting a [[starter Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is usually of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}. The region's resident [[Pokémon Professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex. Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, players can also choose their character's gender. Usually, they have [[rival]]s who begin their journey at about the same time. Players take part in several events, and meet a great number of Pokémon and people during their adventure. A common target is to conquer a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Several additional side-quests occur during and after each game's main plot. | ||
To date, only | To date, {{ga|Red}} is the only player character who has reappeared from an older generation in a role other than that of the player. In [[Generation II]] and the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes]], when {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, Red is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control. At the time of these games' respective releases, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|game}} was the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an in-game Trainer ({{ga|Barry}}'s fully evolved starter Pokémon temporarily surpassed the standard set in Gold and Silver until the release of their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver). Red reappeared in {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], and again in the [[Alola]]-based [[Generation VII]] games, as the leader of the [[Battle Tree]] with {{ga|Blue}}. | ||
