They called Red "Satoshi", the Japanese name of his anime counterpart Ash, which is also the namesake of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of his default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before settling on the name "Red", one of the two original color versions of the games. | ||
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged. | * Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes.

** 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 {{wp|cap}} has the same division in the middle as {{Ash}}'s cap 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 in development at least a year prior to the release of Pokémon Yellow in Japan. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}. | ** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite.
