Red (Japanese: レッド Red) is the canon name of the player character in the Generation I games Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow and the male choice in their Generation III remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, where his female counterpart is Leaf. Prior to Generation II, he was officially referred to as Satoshi (Japanese: サトシ).

Red is known throughout as the Champion from Pallet Town, as well as the living legend for his defeat of Team Rocket in Kanto during his quest. He is the final opponent in the Generation II games Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, their Generation IV remakes Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and Pokémon Stadium 2. He is a participant in the Pokémon World Tournament's Champions Tournament in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and works as a boss of the Battle Tree in the Generation VII games Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.

In the games

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old (10 in the European releases) boy from Pallet Town. According to the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, Blue, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games Professor Oak says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a starter Pokémon. Red has a choice of a Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle^GRBFRLG. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it^GRBFRLG. In Pokémon Yellow, Red was originally intended to get an Eevee, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a Pikachu that Professor Oak caught earlier^Y. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.

After Red has made his way to Viridian City to the north and taken a package back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a Pokédex with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the Gym Leaders in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.

Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, Team Rocket, several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on Route 24; and another lone member who has stolen a TM from a family in Cerulean City. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their hideout beneath the Celadon Game Corner and encountering their boss, Giovanni. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the Silph Scope that Giovanni leaves behind to battle Ghost-type Pokémon and save Mr. Fuji in the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town, who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented Master Ball from the Silph Co. President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the Leader of the Viridian Gym, his final obstacle before the Elite Four of Indigo Plateau. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the Earth Badge. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through Victory Road and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the Indigo League. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the Champion of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern Sevii Islands, lead by Executive Archer, Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.

Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of Mt. Silver, where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.

Eventually, Ethan, Kris, or Lyra arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a Pokémon Trainer. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.

Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the Champions Tournament of the Pokémon World Tournament in the Unova region. In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of Alola's Battle Tree along with Blue. When Elio or Selene first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red^SMUSUM or Blue^USUM is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto starter Mega Stones.

Red makes an appearance in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. If the player has defeated at least 6 Master Trainers and has 6 Pokémon in their party, Red can be found by the Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the title of Battle Master to the player before leaving, though he will reappear for a rematch each time the player defeats the Elite Four.

Red also appears in Pokémon Stadium 2. He can battled in the Kanto Gym Leader Castle after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.

Pokémon

As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during Generation I. In Generation III, he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the National Pokédex.

When he is encountered as an opponent in Generation II and Generation IV, Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his Pikachu at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the Legend Ribbon.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, he can be fought in the Pokémon World Tournament's Champions Tournament, using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the Battle Tree proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by Pikachu from Super Smash Bros. Melee onward, possibly in specific reference to Pokémon Yellow Version (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Main article: Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)

Red himself appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by Michele Knotz in the English version and 半場友恵 Tomoe Hanba in the Japanese version.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Though Red does not return as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, his Charizard returns as an individual fighter. Instead, Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Red returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, alongside Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. He is once again referred to by the title of "Pokémon Trainer" and has his Pokémon battle instead of directly fighting. Additionally, Leaf is featured as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title.

In other games

Red makes an appearance in both Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of Pokémon Battle Revolution, having a Double Battle against Leaf, using a Deoxys in its Attack Forme and a Wailord. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

Counterparts

In the anime

In the main series

Main article: Ash Ketchum

Main article: Ash Ketchum (M20)

Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart

Red's anime counterpart, introduced in the first episode, is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the core series games, as well as the Orange Archipelago south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto and Generation V during Unova, and being joined by the anime counterparts of May, Dawn, and Serena during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a Pikachu, inspiring Pokémon Yellow's creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning one as well.

Red has another anime counterpart, an alternate Ash Ketchum, who appeared in I Choose You! and The Power of Us; these Sun & Moon movies are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash.

Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in Pokémon Generations. He first appeared in The Adventure, where he caught a Pikachu in Viridian Forest. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various wild and Legendary Pokémon.

Red briefly reappeared at the end of The Challenger, having just defeated the Elite Four at Indigo Plateau, and preparing to challenge Blue for the title of the Champion.

Like in the core series games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.

Main article: Red's Pikachu (game)

Pikachu is one of Red's Pokémon and has been used by him in many of his battles.

Red encountered Pikachu while in Viridian Forest. He sent out his Bulbasaur against it, but caught it in a Poké Ball without battling. After catching it, Red immediately let it out its Poké Ball and had it battle a Caterpie.

Pikachu continued to travel with its trainer throughout Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos, battling against Pokémon such as Wooper, Vigoroth, Probopass, Regigigas, Volcarona, and Noivern.

• When Red caught Pikachu, he was revealed to have already obtained at least two other Pokémon besides Bulbasaur.

Trivia

Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak

Concept art of original series Ash's hat

• In the Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters (Japanese: ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック) from 1997, Game Freak teased the supposed appearances of Red, Professor Oak, and Giovanni in the upcoming Pokémon Gold and Silver games. They called Red Satoshi (Japanese: サトシ), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart Ash, which is also the namesake of the 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.
  • Ethan's name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the Nintendo Space World 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver.
• Red's title screen and profile front sprites from Pokémon Red and Green correspond to his earlier Capsule Monsters artwork instead of his final Generation I artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in Pokémon Blue but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
  • In Pokémon Yellow, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match Ash Ketchum, his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as Ash's hat from the original series.
• Ash's hat in the original series of the anime was initially designed to be similar to Red's hat from Pokémon Red and Green before undergoing several changes until the final design.
• Red's party in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen:
  • Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, and Pikachu are the game mascots of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original Kanto plot;
  • Espeon could have been obtained as an Eevee in Celadon City, and Eevee notably serves as Blue's starter in Pokémon Yellow;
  • Lapras is given away by a Silph Co. employee shortly before Team Rocket is defeated there;
  • Two Snorlax are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to Fuchsia City. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking Route 12 (now blocking the entrance to Diglett's Cave) is available to the player, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking Route 16.
    • All of these Pokémon are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: Pikachu is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the Bulbasaur obtained in Cerulean City; Blastoise can be evolved from the Squirtle obtained in Vermilion City; Charizard can be evolved from the Charmander obtained on Route 24; and Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events.
    • In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their Generation III signature moves: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn and Hydro Cannon, respectively, while Pikachu knows Volt Tackle. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that Ash's Pikachu used during the Diamond & Pearl series of the anime: Volt Tackle, Quick Attack, Iron Tail, and Thunderbolt.
  • In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of Ash Ketchum throughout most of the Orange Islands anime arc (Ash's Bulbasaur and Squirtle were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
• At level 88, Red's Pikachu in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of battle facilities.
  • However, in Pokémon Black and White, the level of Lass Dye's Whimsicott^B/Lilligant^W in Nacrene City is variable and can exceed that of Red's Pikachu, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is traded to her.
• When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of ellipses before beginning the battle. This is a reference to his silent role in Generation I, as he only answered choice questions like Yes or No. This unique characteristic remains in later generations, especially in the remakes.
  • In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Blue sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
    • Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
  • Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to Copycat in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:

<Player>: Hi!
Do you like POKéMON?

<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.

<Player>: Huh?
You’re strange!

COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?
But, that’s my favorite hobby!

Similarly, after giving Copycat a Poké Doll and receiving TM31^RGBY or having her teach Mimic to a compatible Pokémon^FRLG in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:

<Player>: Hi!
Thanks for earlier!

<Player>: Pardon?

<Player>: Is it that fun to mimic my
every move?

COPYCAT: You bet!
It’s a scream!

This implies that Red is speaking.

• Hidden data in the Generation I games reveals placeholder names for Red and Blue:
  • The unused default name for Red in the English Generation I games is Ninten while Blue's is Sony. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few memory addresses in RAM can allow for these names to appear as shown here. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. Ninten is also the default name of the main protagonist of Mother, a game developed by Creatures, Inc..
  • In the Japanese Generation I games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between Pokémon Red and Green and Pokémon Blue and then between the latter and Pokémon Yellow:
    • In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち Yamaguchi while Blue's is いしはら Ishihara. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to Tsunekazu Ishihara, the current president and CEO of The Pokémon Company and who was the games' producer at the time.
    • In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ Gēfuri, an abbreviation of Game Freak's name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク Gēmu Furīku), and クリチャ Kuricha, a reference to Creatures, Inc.
    • In Pokémon Yellow, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
• Much like there is minimal information on his anime counterpart's father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an SNES at the Celadon Department Store in the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
• In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only Trainer who uses the battle transition effect from Generation II.
• All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a Pikachu, excluding Satoshi from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his one into a Raichu.
• Along with Blue, Lance, and the Generation I and III Kanto Gym Leaders (excluding Giovanni and Koga), Red has appeared in almost every generation of the Pokémon games, with six out of seven so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
• Red and Lance share the same unique Champion battle music in Johto-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's Champions Tournament.
• Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.
