[[Pokémon Adventures]] features many [[cross-canon counterpart]]s for most of the player and rival characters in the games, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s. The same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with {{adv|Giovanni}}. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. {{adv|Wally}}, the closest thing to a third main character, was dropped in favor of this new character designed entirely from scratch. As of the {{chap2|Diamond & Pearl}} and {{chap|Platinum}}s, only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region.
