Red (game)

Red (Japanese: レッド) also known as Fire (ファイア Fire) is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town, Kanto. He is the first character to be playable in the Pokémon series and his initial appearence is set in the Generation I main games. He has since then made various appearences in Pokémon media, including the Generation III remakes of Pokémon Red, Green and Blue, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Red is also known to be one of the final trainers you fight in the Generation II games.

In Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal, Red is fought at Mt. Silver, in which he has Pokemon similar to Ash of the anime (except for the fact the three starters are fully evolved compared to Ash only having one). Red also retakes this role in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver, he seems like a shady character who has strong Pokemon. Red is also a silent protagonist just like the main characters from the Mother series called Ninten, Ness and Lucas. Red Is the highest leveled trainer of any Pokemon game. Unlike Brendan, who is extremely quirky, Red is a very serious person, especially when he battles. This can be seen easily because he seldom smiles.

In the anime
Red does not appear himself in the anime, but Ash is his anime counterpart.

Manga
His first Pokémon was a Poliwag, which evolved into a Poliwhirl when saving him from drowning prior to the beginning of the story, and evolved once more into a Poliwrath in Buzz off, Electabuzz!

Red is eleven years old at the beginning of the Red, Green &amp; Blue chapter. He is first seen in A Glimpse of the Glow, when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to battle a wild Nidorino. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus Blue in the ninth annual Pokémon League tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both The Secret of Kangaskhan and Make Way for Magmar!. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in Suddenly Starmie. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB saga.

Red's special skill, as described by Professor Oak, is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the "Fighter" (戦う者Fighter). In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the Pokédex holders.

Pokémon
Gold, SIlver, and Crystal
