Red's [[cross-canon counterparts|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 journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games, 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. 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 one {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well. | Red's [[cross-canon counterparts|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum.
