In Platinum, however, the {{ga|Pearl|rival}}'s team receives a boost in level, putting his [[starter Pokémon]] at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at up to level 100. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's team a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping the list at level 88, Red is again the highest-leveled Trainer opponent (though wild Magikarp still are the highest level opponent Pokémon). | ||
** Although the rival's Pokémon were at a higher level, however, several of Red's Pokémon had higher stats, due to their species' higher [[base stats]], with his Charizard being the strongest (the rival's Infernape comes closest, mere points behind). | ** Although the rival's Pokémon were at a higher level, however, several of Red's Pokémon had higher stats, due to their species' higher [[base stats]], with his Charizard being the strongest (the rival's Infernape comes closest, mere points behind). | ||

* 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]]".
