'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''') is the main [[Player character|playable character]] in the [[Generation I]] games and is the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes. In Generation III, his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

==Story==
[[Image:Game character red.png|thumb|left|Red from Generation I]]
Red is a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. The [[Generation I]] instruction booklets explain that Red became interested in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when {{prof|Oak}} calls the two of them to his lab and gives them each a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. Blue challenges Red to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives them each a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill his dream of capturing every type of Pokémon.

Red travels all over Kanto, filling in the [[Pokédex]] and defeating [[Gym Leader]]s. His [[rival]] Blue constantly stays 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 to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League|league]] {{pkmn|champion}}. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the champion himself.

Red's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Red clashes with [[Team Rocket]] many times in his quest. He defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[fossil]]s, and defeats another member ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]], as well as a member that stole a TM from a citizen of Cerulean City. Red protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After he foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Red encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Red stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Red on [[Chrono Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to try and revive the group.

By the [[Generation II]] games, Red is no longer the Champion and [[Lance]] has taken his place. Red's title is simply "[[Pokémon Trainer]]" in this generation. He trains constantly on [[Mt. Silver]] and doesn't say anything to any {{pkmn|Trainer}}s he may come across (which could be a nod to the fact that Red never really spoke in previous games). When {{ga|Gold}} or {{ga|Kris}} meets Red in Mt. Silver, Red has the strongest [[party]] of Pokémon (with static levels) an NPC opponent had ever had in the series, including a Level 81 {{p|Pikachu}}, until {{ga|Pearl}}'s team in {{game|Platinum}}. However, Red regains the honor in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with his Pikachu being a whopping Level 88.

Red also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] as the last trainer players face in the combined [[Gym Leader Castle]], after the defeat of all of the others.

==Pokémon==
Red is the most highly skilled Trainer in the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games he appears in. His team references {{game|Yellow}}, which is based on the {{pkmn|anime}}, causing many to call him {{Ash}}.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[Image:Pokemon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|Red about to switch Pokémon.]]
[[Image:Red Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his [[Pokémon]].]]
Red's hat actually was the first object that made an appearance in the Smash Bros. series, worn as one of the alternate outfits of {{p|Pikachu}}.

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Red himself appears in Brawl, in his [[Generation III]] design, here named [[Pokémon Trainer]] (his actual name is not given in the game). He stands in the background and sends his Pokémon into the fight, which are alternated between {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} in that order; each is a member of one of the [[Kanto]] {{Pkmn2|starter}} [[evolution]] families. His main stage, as well as {{p|Pikachu}}'s, is {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium 2|stage}}, {{DL|Spear Pillar|In Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Spear Pillar}} and [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Pokémon Stadium]]. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.

Instead of fighting like other characters in the game, Red battles using his [[Party|team]]. Their moves are as follows. Note that all three Pokémon's Final Smashes combine to form {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

In terms of gameplay, Squirtle is very quick and good at rapid-fire close range attacks, but light and easily KO'ed. Ivysaur is a good all-around fighter with balanced range and abilities but is poor in mid-air maneuvers. Charizard is very powerful and its attacks have lots of knockback, but it is very slow - its flying and gliding abilities make it excellent at returning to the stage, however.

His Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}. It is a combination of Squirtle's Hydro Pump, Ivysaur's SolarBeam, and Charizard's Fire Blast.

====Subspace Emissary====
The Pokémon Trainer is first encountered by [[wp:Lucas (Mother 3)|Lucas]] in The Ruined Zoo. For most of the game, the two are paired together. Pokémon Trainer's mission is to capture Charizard and Ivysaur while Lucas's is to save [[wp:List of EarthBound characters|Ness]]. On their way to the Ruins, the two are ambushed by {{wp|Wario}}, who is eventually defeated by the two. Later in The Ruined Hall, they are attacked by Galleom. Once defeated, it sets off a timer bomb. Lucas saves Pokémon Trainer and they are then both saved by {{wp|Meta Knight}} who carries them away from the explosion, which sucks up Wario's trophy into Subspace. From then on the two join Meta Knight, [[wp:Fire Emblem|Marth, and Ike]] on their quest to take down the Subspace Army.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
:'''{{wp|Solid Snake}}:''' ''"[[Pokémon Trainer]]... That's the guy giving [[Move|orders]] behind a Pokémon, right?"''
:'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Roy Campbell|Roy Campbell]]:''' ''"Right, and this Pokémon Trainer is [[Caught Pokémon|controlling]] {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. They represent {{t|water}}, {{t|grass}}, and {{t|fire}}, and they're all [[Damage modification|powerful]]."''
:'''Solid Snake:''' ''"So he makes his Pokémon fight while he sits back and watches. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me."''
:'''Roy Campbell:''' ''"It's not like that, Snake. Those Pokémon wouldn't know what to do if the Pokémon Trainer [[Wild Pokémon|wasn't there giving orders]]. In every {{pkmn|battle}}, there's a soldier doing the fighting, and a commander telling him what to do. By working together as a [[Party|team]], they accomplish much more than either could on their own. So let's do this together, partner."''
:'''Solid Snake:''' ''"...Yeah... Whatever you say, Colonel."''

====Trophy information====
=====Pokémon Trainer=====
A person who [[Pokémon Breeder|raises Pokémon]] and [[Pokémon training|trains]] them as [[Party|partners]] in battle. In battle, a Trainer gives [[Move|orders]] to the Pokémon and uses [[item]]s. It's not an exaggeration to say {{pkmn|battle}}s can be won or lost on a Trainer's [[Damage modification#Critical hit|single strategic move]]. Trainers pour their [[Happiness|hearts]] into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming [[Pokémon Master]]s.
=====Triple Finish=====
The Final Smash of the Pokémon Trainer. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard join forces to simultaneously use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|SolarBeam}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This is the only time all three of them appear on the screen together, so this move boasts the strength of three in one. A window will appear on the screen saying "It's {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}}!" when the attack hits.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Counterparts==
[[Ash Ketchum]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} and [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga was designed based on Red. Furthermore, Ash's name comes from one of the optional names for Red. This has caused many fans to mistake Red for his anime counterpart. However, they are analogous but not the same and using one's name for the other is always a mistake. There are also many fans that believe that the main hero from {{game|Yellow}} is Ash. This is also untrue. {{game|Yellow}}'s protagonist is still Red but slightly redesigned to look more similar to Ash, much like the storyline was designed to be closer to the anime. In other words, Ash in the anime is based on Red in the game series, but this cannot imply after all that they are the same. Although this idea is of the most debatable topics in Pokémon, thinking about the analogy between the two characters is more convenient than considering them totally similar.

Another anime counterpart could be [[Ritchie]], another character with a [[Sparky|Pikachu]], who some see as a "perfect" manifestation of Ash, and a more closely-designed character to the original Red.

Other counterparts include {{Special|Red}} from Pokémon Special manga, {{OBP|Satoshi|Zensho}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga, [[Isamu Akai]] from {{ma|Pocket Monsters}} manga, who also made a cameo appearance in anime, and [[Shū]] from [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga.

==Trivia==
* When Red is encountered in [[Mt. Silver]] during [[Generation II]], he has no speech, merely repeating an ellipsis before beginning the battle. This is a reference to the fact that during [[Generation I]] he is a silent protagonist, answering only "yes" or "no" questions.
* Just like there is hardly any information on {{Ash}}'s father, the same is true of Red's father, except for this one mention, when the player examines one of the SNES's in the [[Celadon Department Store]] in [[Generation I]]: ''"A sports game! Dad'll like that!"'', suggesting that he does have some kind of presence.
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team was at the highest level of any normal Trainer battle in the games (this excludes the Battle Tower and Battle Frontier, along with Stadium games and the like). His [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] had been the highest-leveled Pokémon one can face, as well, one level higher than {{p|Arceus}} in the wild. However, with the release of Platinum, the levels of the player's {{ga|Pearl|rival}}'s Pokémon have been boosted. Eventually his [[starter Pokémon]] will be level 85, and he has three other Pokémon that equal or exceed the level of Red's Pikachu.
** Furthermore, wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found as high as level 100 in the [[Resort Area]].
** Even though Pearl's Pokémon are higher leveled, some of Red's Pokémon are stronger stat-wise.
*** This makes Red's {{p|Charizard}} the strongest Pokémon, stat-wise, in any generation, closely followed by whatever [[starter Pokémon]] Pearl has (Infernape would be the closest, falling short mere digits from surpassing Red's Charizard).
****In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Red's Pikachu has jumped to level 88, once again taking the rank of highest leveled Trainer-owned Pokémon.
* In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, Pokémon Trainer is the second Pokémon character, after {{p|Pikachu}}, that didn't need to be unlocked.
* Red's first team is based on the {{pkmn2|starter}}s of the [[Generation I]] games: {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, (from respectively {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} of R/B) {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Espeon}} (respectively Pikachu and {{p|Eevee}} of Yellow). {{p|Snorlax}} seems to be a filler.
**However, it can be noted that in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red has switched Espeon with Lapras, which proves his team is based of Yellow, with Lapras received in the [[Silph Co.]] and Snorlax caught.
**In HeartGold and SoulSilver, all of the starter evolutions have the moves acquired only via [[move tutor]]. This references {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as they can only be done so through an old lady on [[Boon Island]].
* 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}}.
* The majority of his Japanese default names from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} are shared with {{ga|Lucas}}. The same is true of their respective {{ga|Leaf|female}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}}.
* The three Kanto starter Pokémon used in his [[Generation II]] battle all have moves that appeared on their {{TCG|Base Set}} cards.
* Along with Professor Oak and Blue, Red has appeared in all the Generations of the Pokémon games. Counting remakes, this also makes him the only player character in all four Generations.
* In 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.
** It should also be noted that, as like HeartGold and SoulSilver take place after FireRed and LeafGreen, the Orange Islands arc in the anime took place after Ash returned from the Indigo Plateau and before he journeyed to Johto.
** Also, Red's Pikachu has the same moveset as Ash's Pikachu currently in the anime. Despite this, Red is still not the same character as Ash.
