* When Red is encountered in [[Mt. Silver]] during [[Generation II]], he has no speech, merely repeating an ellipsis before beginning the battle. This is a reference to the fact that during [[Generation I]] he is a silent protagonist, answering only "yes" or "no" questions. | * When Red is encountered in [[Mt.

* Just like there is hardly any information on {{Ash}}'s father, the same is true of Red's father, except for this one mention, when the player examines one of the SNES's in the [[Celadon Department Store]] in [[Generation I]]: ''"A sports game! Dad'll like that!"'', suggesting that he does have some kind of presence. | * Just like there is hardly any information on {{Ash}}'s father, the same is true of Red's father, except for this one mention, when the player examines one of the SNES's in the [[Celadon Department Store]] in [[Generation I]]: ''"A sports game!

* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team was at the highest level of any normal Trainer battle in the games (this excludes the Battle Tower and Battle Frontier, along with Stadium games and the like). His [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] had been the highest-leveled Pokémon one can face, as well, one level higher than {{p|Arceus}} in the wild. However, with the release of Platinum, the levels of the player's {{ga|Pearl|rival}}'s Pokémon have been boosted. Eventually his [[starter Pokémon]] will be level 85, and he has three other Pokémon that equal or exceed the level of Red's Pikachu. | * Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team was at the highest level of any normal Trainer battle in the games (this excludes the Battle Tower and Battle Frontier, along with Stadium games and the like).

His Pikachu is once again the highest-leveled trainer-owned Pokémon, too. | ||

*** This makes Red's {{p|Charizard}} the strongest Pokémon, stat-wise, in any generation, closely followed by whatever [[starter Pokémon]] Pearl has (Infernape would be the closest, falling short mere digits from surpassing Red's Charizard). | *** This makes Red's {{p|Charizard}} the strongest Pokémon, stat-wise, in any generation, closely followed by whatever [[starter Pokémon]] Pearl has (Infernape would be the closest, falling short mere digits from surpassing Red's Charizard). | ||

**In HeartGold and SoulSilver, all of the starter evolutions have the moves acquired only via [[move tutor]]. This references {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as they can only be done so through an old lady on [[Boon Island]]. | **In HeartGold and SoulSilver, all of the starter evolutions have the moves acquired only via [[move tutor]].

* An unused default name for Red in the [[Generation I]] games was "[[Nintendo|NINTEN]]". Conversely, {{ga|Blue}}'s unused default name is "{{wp|Sony|SONY}}". While normally unviewable, changing a few addresses within the game's code can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=308&o=0&p=20 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition, and may possibly reference the {{wp|Ninten|main character}} of another Nintendo RPG, {{wp|Mother (video game)|Mother}}. | * An unused default name for Red in the [[Generation I]] games was "[[Nintendo|NINTEN]]".
