Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, it is revealed that Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. 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 Pokemon 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 {{p|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.

Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive a [[ribbon]].

Red's hat appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}}, possibly in reference to the anime or [[Pokémon Adventures]].

** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[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 {{series|original}}. This updated front sprite was then recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses the sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as these games were originally scheduled for a March 1998 release according to the '''''Official Guidebook of Nintendo Space World '97''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|NINTENDOスペースワールド'97オフィシャルガイドブック}}''') and the {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} 1997 website,<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/swgbsoft/swgb03.html SPACEWORLD'97 出展　GAME BOYソフト]</ref> while Pokémon Yellow only came out months after Game Freak decided to delay them, on September 1998. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}.

* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's party in [[Generation II]] featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series}} and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his Pikachu at [[level]] 81, beating the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Pokémon Platinum, {{ga|Barry}}'s party received a boost in level, putting his {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}} at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at levels as high as 100, the maximum possible. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's party a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping at level 88, Red recovered his status as the highest-leveled {{pkmn|Trainer}} opponent. [[Benga]] on [[Challenge Mode]], however, is a close second with a Level 85 on all 3 of his Pokemon. His levels are tied with Barry's on the weekend battles after beating the Champion 30 times.

** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".  

* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
