Red (game)

Red (Japanese: レッド) is a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town, Kanto. He is the first main 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 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 evolved). Red also retakes this role in HeartGold and SoulSilver. In games other than the Kanto based games, particularly Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver, he seems like a shady character who has strong Pokemon. Red is also a silent protagonist.
