Red is a curious 11-year-old boy from Pallet Town in the beginning of his adventure. The [[Generation I]] instruction booklets explain that Red became interested in Pokémon after his best friend, [[Blue (game)|Blue]], stopped playing with him and became a bully.  By the end of the game, Red becomes the [[Pokémon Champion]] after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and his rival, Blue.
Red is a curious 11-year-old boy from Pallet Town in the beginning of his adventure. The [[Generation I]] instruction booklets explain that Red became interested in Pokémon after his best friend, [[Blue (game)|Blue]], stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two of them to his lab and gives them a choice of pokémonBlue, of course, eager to outdo Red, challenges him to a match as soon as they get them. Later, Professor Oak calls the boys back and gives them a mission: to fulfil his dream of completing the pokédex.  Blue arrogantly states that Red isn't necessary, then the two each start their own adventure.


Red's main conflict in the game, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves.  Red clashes with [[Team Rocket]] on many occasions throughout his quest, and eventually causes them to disband after defeating their leader, [[Giovanni]], in the [[Viridian City]] Gym.  
Red travels the whole of Kanto, filling in the pokédex and defeating Gym Leaders to get the skills he needs to continue, though his rival Blue is constantly one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede his progress. When Red eventually reaches the Elite Four, he finds that Blue has beaten him there yet again and has become the league champion.  Red defeats Blue in their final conflict, and becomes the champion himself, though he doesn't stay.
 
Red's main conflict in the game, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves.  Red clashes with [[Team Rocket]] at many times in his quest.  He defeats a group of grunts at Mt. Moon who are attempting to steal rare pokémon fossils, and defeats another group ahead at a brigde in Cerulean City.  Red protects the Pokémon Tower and Mr. Fuji in Lavender Town and destroys their hold on the Game Corner. After foils their plot to take over Silph Co., Red encounters Giovanni as the final Gym Leader back in Veridian City.  Upon defeating him, Red stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts would try to band together in Johto to try and revive te group.

By the [[Generation II]] games, he has presumably lost his [[Champion]] title earned in [[Generation I]] because [[Lance]] is a Champion instead of him. Red trains constantly on [[Mt. Silver]] and doesn't say anything to any [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] he may come across.
By the [[Generation II]] games, he has arguably become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Red trains constantly on [[Mt. Silver]] and doesn't say anything to any [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] he may come across. When Gold meets Red in Mt. Silver, Red has the highest leveled team an opponent has ever had in the series.
 
Red also appears in Pokémon Stadium 2 as the last trainer you face in the Kanto Gym Leader Challenge and the Johto Gym Leader Challenge.


Red is considered by some to be an ideal choice to represent the pokémon series in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, though the idea is not widely held.  Many do not support the inclusion of trainers in general, while supporters feel a trainer representative is necessary.  Nonetheless, it is unlikely that Red will appear in Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
