Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon beta

2024-01-18T17:44:43Z

Ultra Ray: That seems to be a wild Wingull passing above the player, which does occur in the final release, not a walking Pokémon.

{{move|Development leftovers of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}
{{incomplete|2=More pre-release and unused post-release content}}
This article lists the unused content of the [[Generation VII]] games {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

==Post-release==
===Pokémon===
{{DL|Pokémon X and Y beta|Eternal Flower Floette}} remains in the code of the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. It has its own Pokédex entry. Additionally, there are menu sprites for [[Cosplay Pikachu]] and Eternal Flower Floette, though neither of them are available in-game.

===Hidden Abilities===
Some Pokémon are programmed to have [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon; however, they cannot be legally obtained in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. These abilities are available in later generations with use of the [[Ability Patch]].

{{Ability/head|Ultra Sun}}
{{Ability/entry|game=7|485|Heatran|Fire|Steel|Flash Fire|None|Flame Body}}
{{Ability/entry|game=7|785|Tapu Koko|Electric|Fairy|Electric Surge|None|Telepathy}}
{{Ability/entry|game=7|786|Tapu Lele|Psychic|Fairy|Psychic Surge|None|Telepathy}}
{{Ability/entry|game=7|787|Tapu Bulu|Grass|Fairy|Grassy Surge|None|Telepathy}}
{{Ability/entry|game=7|788|Tapu Fini|Water|Fairy|Misty Surge|None|Telepathy}}
{{Ability/foot|Ultra Moon}}

===Shiny Pokémon===
For consistency, all Pokémon have {{Shiny}} variants, even if they cannot be obtained as Shiny. Some Shiny Pokémon, such as [[Pikachu in a cap]], are identical to their normal counterparts.

All Pikachu in a cap are programmed to not be Shiny, but due to a glitch, the {{DL|Pikachu in a cap|Partner Cap}} Pikachu can be Shiny. This is because the game erroneously checks if the correct combination of the Trainer ID and Secret ID would result in a Shiny Pokémon by using the player's data, even though this Pokémon's OT is not the player.

===Locations===
Akala Meadow exists as a [[List of locations by index number (Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon)|location name]] at index number 66 (0x0042). In the final game, [[Pink Nectar]] can be found at [[Royal Avenue]].
There are three unused rooms in the player's house; a washroom, a bathroom, and a garage. These rooms, also present in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, are revamped and retextured in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

</gallery>

===Silvally, Fire Pledge, and Water Pledge===
The games' data shows {{p|Silvally}} knowing {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Water Pledge}}. However, a [[List of glitches (Generation VII)#Silvally Move Tutor glitch|glitch]] prevents Silvally from learning both moves. {{m|Grass Pledge}} is unaffected by this glitch.

===Murkrow and Punishment===
The data shows {{p|Murkrow}} knowing {{m|Punishment}} as an [[Egg Move]], but neither Murkrow nor its evolution {{p|Honchkrow}} can learn this move in the final version.

{{p|Vullaby}} and {{p|Mandibuzz}} are in the {{egg3|Flying}} and can learn Punishment, but cannot pass down the move due to being female-only.

A Festival Farewell?]]'' (the episode she mentions only Pumpkaboo remembered her birthday), making her 26 years old as of XY.
** In the Japanese version of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Jessie says that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to get focused on romance while James adds that he and Jessie are 5 years older than that.
** In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', {{p|Necrozma}}'s aura causes all the adults to feel lazy and lethargic, with no effect on children and teenagers. This affects Jessie and James, confirming that they are adults.

== Edit warring ==

Please do not continually revert other users, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you've asked someone why they've reverted you, you should wait for their response rather than revert their edits anyway, as that shows impatience. Manga is not my area, but Ataro must have a reason for reverting you, so wait for his response rather than continually reverting anyone that undoes your edit. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:11, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

== Excessive editing ==

You've been editing your post at Ataro's talk page for numerous times in a very short span of time.
:1) You're not supposed to edit posted talk page posts, unless if it's to correct a typo or alike.
:2) If you want to add something to a post you've already made, do not edit the earlier post but make a new one.
:3) Most importantly, use the preview button. That way, you'll avoid making mistakes that need fixing. 
Thank you. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 01:18, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

== Timeline for Pokémon Adventures ==

Hello! I was wondering what your source was for the time between the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire and Diamond & Pearl chapters being at most two years. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 04:03, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

:Dia and Pearl watched the comedy show live 8 years before the Diamond & Pearl chapter, when they were 4. In the Mt. Silver training chapter (which is immediately after the Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter), the exact same show is on TV, meaning DP is at most 8 years later. GSC is 3 years after the Red, Green & Blue chapter, so DP is at most 11 years after RGB. The Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire chapter is set 9 years after RGB. [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 12:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

== [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] ==

Hi! You removed this line from [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]].
* The introduction states that Pokémon Red and Green take place in 1996, the same year the games were released.
I will be adding it back in, as it is listed on page 8 within the book's introduction. (Here is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McB4lCnAips&t=175s link to a video] that translated the text too, if you can't read Japanese). ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 14:14, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

:That's misinformation, I checked the Japanese book (https://archive.org/details/pocket-monsters-encyclopedia-96) and it says 150 Pokémon haver been registered as of 1996, not that the games take place in 1996. [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 14:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

::An argument can be made that these 150 Pokemon were discovered by the player for Professor Oak. Moltres's entry says that there's uncertainty if it even exists, but later in Bill's lecture he claims to own one. Also, at the very end of this lecture the 151st Pokemon gets discovered, which is probably Mew that also gets to be discovered in the games (by Oak's team at least, Fuji knew about it before, but it was a secret, Mewtwo is said to be an urban legend).--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 18:26, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

:::It literally is speculation, what's left to resolve? By the way, an argument can be made that Looker's codename during his backstory with Anabel means that the gap between generations II/IV and V is no more than 6 years. Anyway, Bulbapedia's character profiles should stick to the facts. [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 15:03, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
::::Why do you think the player collects Pokemon for Pokedex if Professor Oak have data for all Pokemon already? In case for Looker, he could just not use his codename with Sinnoh player. Secret agents can use different names for different mission to not get exposed.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 15:44, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
::::: To collect data on the already discovered Pokémon, which fits with the mechanics of getting a National Pokédex (and with the lack of it). Again, character profiles should stick to the facts. [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 22:02, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::When the player has 150 Pokemon in their Pokedex, Professor Oak says "Your Pokédex is entirely complete Congratulations!". In the book, 151st Pokemon is being discovered. That means the games can't be happening after 1996.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 22:51, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::: Professors still say your Pokédex is complete without mythicals in the later generations, and the Bill part of that lecture clearly breaks the fourth wall. [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 10:39, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::::Later generations don't claim exactly how many Pokemon are discovered and the part about Bill is your speculation.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 10:57, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::::: No, it isn't, Bill in the same lecture mentions some Pokémon being exclusive to the Red game and others being exclusive to the Green game. [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 13:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::Bill is an in-universe character and the Pokemon discovery happened in-universe. Also, Pinsir and Electabuzz's entries explain version exlusive Pokemon as affinity to green and red colors.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 13:36, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::Bill literally says "you can only choose one from Bulbasaur, Squirtle or Charmander in the beginning, and you can only get them in trades except what you choose. Also, in the Red Version and the Green Version, the Pokémon that appear are a bit different, so trade is indispensable." (特に最初に登場するフシギソウ、ゼニガメ、ヒトカゲなんかはどれかひとつしか選べなくて、自分が選んだもの以外は交換でしか手に入りません。また、レッドバージョンとグリーンバージョンでは、登場するポケモンがちょっと違うので、そのためにも「交換」が欠かせないわけです。). This is clearly not in-universe. [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 14:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::Trading exists in-universe and you can't get other starters in the games through other means.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 15:58, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::: Choosing between Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander in the games is not a thing for trainers in general, only for the player character. I mentioned that to show Bill talking to us (the players), not an in-universe audience. Most importantly, he literally mentions the game's different versions. [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 16:18, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::::This is the only way to get different starters so it's part of the canon that there are multiple choices of starters happening in different universes which are connected through trading. The red and green distinction is incorporated to the in-universe lore through Pokemon's preference described in entries of Electabuzz and Pinsir. You can think of it like butterfly effect that thinking about red made you choose path where you only meet Electabuzz.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 16:53, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

== Gold, Silver, and Crystal's ages ==

Hi, I saw that you were the one who added {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}}'s ages in the ORAS arc, and I'm wondering how you came to the conclusion that they're all 17. According to [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/243136986997719041/614224648518893572/tumblr_inline_p6581vqASD1u8ynmj_1280_3.jpg?ex=653ae847&is=65287347&hm=a995b3e0274079dd2d585ad9278399b1107dd8a9c18dcb69a64bc6a074541bfc& PokéSPedia's timeline], these three are 13 in FRLG, which is three years before HGSS. Gold and Silver are also 13 in the Emerald arc, though Crystal is 14 because her birthday has now passed. So, FRLG and Emerald both take place in the year that Gold, Silver, and Crystal turn 14.

Meanwhile, the Salamence incident was nine years before ORAS and five years before RS. Emerald is one year after RS, meaning that Emerald → ORAS is three years. So, HGSS and ORAS both take place in the same year—the year that Gold, Silver, and Crystal turn 17. However, since ORAS takes place during winter (January-March), and HGSS comes before it, HGSS must also take place during winter. That means they're all 16, as none of them have hit their 17th birthday. Do you agree with that conclusion, or is there a flaw in my logic somewhere? [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 18:21, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

:ORAS takes place in the Winter that begins in December of the same year as HGSS and ends in February/March of the following year. This means Crystal and Gold were definitely 17, but Silver might still have been 16. [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 12:31, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
::ORAS takes place over ten days; we know that because of the meteorite countdown. How could it last from December-February/March? Also, Silver's birthday is December 24th; if you assume that it starts at the very beginning of winter, then it would last from December 21st-31st. Silver's birthday would have passed during that timeframe. If that was Silver's 17th birthday, then it would be like 4 and a half years since RS...which I ''guess'' you could still call 4 years after RS. In that case, they should all have 16-17 as their age in ORAS, since the arc could be in February/March (before any of them have turned 17) or December (after Gold and Crystal have turned 17, and Silver's birthday occurs during the arc). [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 01:35, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

:::I didn't mean that ORAS takes place from December to February/March, I meant that it takes place sometime in Winter, and Winter begins in December and ends in February/March. Silver was 16 or 17 or both, so I put his age as "16-17". [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 03:27, 29 October 2023 (UTC):
::::My bad, I misunderstood what you were saying. After mapping out all the years and ages, I think I get where the confusion is here. I've been operating under the assumption that the Salamence incident happened 9 calendar years prior to ORAS, so ORAS couldn't take place during the winter that Silver turns 17 because that would put it 10 years after the Salamence incident. But noting that the Salamence incident happens towards the end of the year (since it happens after Red has become Champion), the length of time between the incident and the winter that Silver turns 17 would be about 9 years. If it's true that Ruby and Sapphire are 15 and Emerald is 14 in ORAS, then this second interpretation would be correct.
::::However, looking at the history of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald's pages, their ages in ORAS were added by a user in June 2015, which was before we had confirmation that ORAS took place during winter. That user didn't cite a source, and they put Sapphire's age at 14, which makes me think that they just added 3 to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald's ages as of Emerald arc rather than finding some official source stating their ages. So, my new question is: is there an official source giving Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald's age in the ORAS arc? Or are those ages just ancient conjecture? [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 22:15, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
::::: Their PokéSPedia profiles give their ages (15, 15 and 14). The profiles of Red, Green, Gold, Silver and Crystal only give their ages up to Emerald and HGSS, but their ORAS ages can be calculated from the manga itself.

The series has only been released for {{wp|Handheld game console|handheld systems}}, though this includes the [[Nintendo Switch]], which is both a handheld and a home console.

Counting paired games as a single release, there are currently 22 core series games released in Japanese, 21 in European languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian), 15 in Korean, and 7 in Chinese (both simplified and traditional). Counting each game individually, there are currently 38 core series games released in Japanese, 37 in European languages, 28 in Korean, and 13 in Chinese.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was standard for the Western releases of the core series games to include the label ''Version'' in their title, although this was seldom used by the Japanese releases. In Japanese, Korean, and formerly in Chinese, the series is called the '''Pocket Monsters Series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシリーズ'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917190255/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/ ゲームポケットモンスターシリーズ | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト] (archive)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ GAME LIST]</ref>, Korean: '''포켓몬스터 시리즈'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200805135605/https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=game-game_list&GameGroup=P 포켓몬 공식 사이트] (archive)</ref>, Chinese: '''精靈寶可夢系列 / 精灵宝可梦系列'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIVoUw0h20w&t=9m30s Nintendo SpotLight E3 2017 (附中文字幕) - YouTube]</ref>). Core series games, except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], all contain the full name ''Pocket Monsters'' in their Japanese title, whereas [[side series]] and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'' instead. While the Japanese releases of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] use ''Pocket Monsters'' in English subtitles, they use ''Pokémon'' in {{wp|kana}} in their Japanese names.

In English, the core series has officially been referred to as the '''main series''', '''Pokémon RPG series''', or '''core series''' in official marketing materials.<ref name="English names" group="note"/> However, all Western releases of games use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'', regardless of whether they are core series games or spin-off games.

The Pokémon Video Game Championships are conducted using the core series games.

==Classification==
===Content model===
While there are no strict rules that make a game a core series game, and previously assumed rules are continuously broken, the games generally have a similar plot structure and {{cat|Game mechanics|mechanics}}.

The {{player}} begins the game in a small town or city of a given [[region]], having no {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of their own. Through a course of events, the player receives a [[starter Pokémon]], usually from the region's [[Pokémon Professor]]; there are almost always three starter Pokémon to choose from, with one {{t|Grass}} [[type]], one {{t|Fire}} type, and one {{t|Water}} type, and a character who will become the player's [[rival]] will typically choose (or already have) another member of the trio based on the player's choice.

After this point, the player begins to journey across the entire region (which contains several settlements like cities and towns, themselves usually connected by [[route]]), {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} any [[wild Pokémon]] they choose to, and using a [[party]] they assemble to take on other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Most regions have eight [[Gym Leader]]s that the player must defeat in order to obtain a [[Badge]] from each one, though in games set in the [[Alola]] region, the player instead participates in the [[island challenge]], and in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], they defeat five frenzied [[noble Pokémon]]. In addition to repeated interactions with their rival, the player must also stop the plans of a [[villainous team]], which often involve the manipulation of [[Legendary Pokémon]].

After all eight Gym Leaders have been defeated or the island challenge has been completed, the player can enter the [[Pokémon League]], where the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the region awaits challengers. However, a series of Trainers known as the [[Elite Four]] must usually be defeated in succession before the Champion can be fought. The Champion is often introduced prior to the player's Pokémon League challenge, and may aid the player on their adventure. After defeating the Champion, the player becomes a Champion themself, which is usually honoured by their entry into the [[Hall of Fame]]. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the only game in the core series to not feature the Pokémon League in any form.

The player's defeat of the Champion can be considered the ending of the game, as it is followed by the [[credits]] being shown. However, there is always post-game content that the player gains access to after this. Often, there is a post-game plotline and locations and facilities that could not be previously accessed become available. Since {{game|Crystal}}, there is usually at least one facility specifically dedicated to {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. The overarching goal is to obtain many species of Pokémon in order to complete the [[Pokédex]]. In the first two generations, every Pokémon species in the game has to be obtained in order to complete the Pokédex, and the player is awarded a [[diploma]] for achieving this. From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation VI]], there are two separate Pokédexes, each with their own diploma as a reward for completing them: the [[regional Pokédex]], which only contains the Pokémon native to the region the game is set in, and the [[National Pokédex]], which is unlocked in the post-game and contains every Pokémon in the game. Starting in [[Generation VII]], the games only contain a regional Pokédex, the completion of which usually rewards the player with a diploma, while the National Pokédex is confined to companion applications like [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]].

===Release model===
While releases continue to break patterns, the release of core series games tends to follow a pattern.

When a [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] begins, a pair of games is always released. These paired versions feature virtually the same storyline as each other, but the [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|available Pokémon]] differ, and some other elements are usually slightly different. This encourages [[Trade|trading]], as it is required in order to complete the [[Pokédex]].

Most generations feature an "upper version"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CldWM5ornc Nintendo UK YouTube]: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Introduction – Episode 4 – A new Pokémon adventure awaits</ref> title—often referred to by fans as a "third version"—a follow-up game or pair of games released after the first games of the generation that takes place in the same [[region]] with added features. These games typically both share and lack certain regional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were available in one or both of the original paired versions; thus, a {{player}} of an upper version must link together with the original pair to complete the regional Pokédex as well. On the contrary, upper versions typically contain certain Pokémon from different regions that are unavailable in the original pair, thus being more helpful in completing the [[National Pokédex]]. Until [[Generation VII]], only a single third version following an original pair was ever released at a time; [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] were the first of these games to be released as a pair. Unlike other generations, [[Generation V]] opted for a sequel story instead, while [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VIII]], and [[Generation IX]] entirely forwent follow-up games set in the same region, the latter two instead providing additional features to the original pair of games via paid {{wp|downloadable content}}.

Sometimes, a secondary set of paired versions that are [[remake]]s of earlier titles may also be released.

===Pokémon===
Most [[generation]]s introduce {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from previously released Pokémon. [[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are almost always included, and frequently appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[Legendary trio|trios]]. All generations also introduce at least one [[Mythical Pokémon]], which are almost always [[Event Pokémon|event-exclusive]] upon being introduced but may become available through other means in later generations.

In all generations, there are some Pokémon that cannot be encountered until after the {{player}} becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}. These are often Legendary Pokémon, such as {{p|Mewtwo}}. These Pokémon may or may not be part of the game's [[regional Pokédex]].

Before the release of a new generation, new Pokémon are often used to promote the new {{pkmn|games}} by including them in the {{pkmn|anime}} or in [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].

===Box art===
The box art for each game features one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which was introduced in that [[generation]] (or, in the case of [[remake]]s, the generation of the original games). This Pokémon is referred to by fans as a [[game mascot]], and with the exception of [[Kanto]]- and [[Hisui]]-based games, it is always the [[Legendary Pokémon]] available in that game at the climax of the storyline.

In terms of the artwork itself, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and all region releases of the initial paired games of each generation from [[Generation III]] to {{Gen|VII}} use their game mascot's original [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork for their box art, whereas all other core series games use specially made artwork.

The titles in the Japanese games typically use some shade of red and blue for either the characters or outlines of the characters. This is most likely in reference to the first internationally released core games of Pokémon Red and Blue. The DLC Expansion Passes for Pokémon Sword and Shield use green and yellow, likely in reference to both {{game|Red and Green|s}}, along with {{game|Yellow}}.

==List of core series games==
In {{pmin|South Korea}}, only {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released prior to the foundation of Nintendo of Korea and Pokémon Korea in 2006. The first core series game release after this was {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in 2008.

In {{pmin|Greater China}}, the first core series game release was [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] in 2016.

Several pieces of content in the core series Pokémon games depend on the games having a timeline, but a complete timeline cannot be drawn from the games themselves. Series producer [[Junichi Masuda]], in an interview with GameInformer on October 24, 2019, stated that [[Game Freak]] doesn't apply a timeline to the [[Pokémon world]] rigorously.<ref group="note">[https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/game-freak-talks-sword-and-shields-champion-wild-area-interactions-and-more] '''Masuda:''' ''It starts to get a little complicated if you pay too much attention to timelines. Like, there might be a professor that appears and it wouldn’t make sense at all if we applied that kind of timeline logic. So we try not to apply it too rigorously. Maybe one hint is that if a character is appearing with Professor Oak, they’re living in the same era. Rather than some series where it makes sense to have the timeline progress as you go and the story evolve, the approach that Pokémon takes is expanding the world, like what the regions are, and making it richer as we go. Rather than a timeline, it’s more of a physical space thing.''</ref>

On May 7, 2014, Game Freak employee [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]]'s Twitter account posted a timeline of the core series Pokémon games.<ref name="Matsumiya">[https://archive.is/D9iPz archive.is] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref> However, the tweet was subsequently deleted. Matsumiya also stated that the specific amount of time between the games is a mystery;<ref>"''Elapsed time is secret. Imagine freely!''" - Toshinobu Matsumiya. May 10, 2014. [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/465154051173130240?t=ehkMxBfeYTuJrZgEZGPaJA&s=19 Twitter]</ref> however, there are some mentions of how much time has passed in the games.

The plots of {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Red, Green|s}}, {{pkmn|Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{pkmn|Emerald Version|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]] are contemporaneous, as revealed in Matsumiya's tweet. They are then followed by the plots of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{pkmn|Crystal Version|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{pkmn|Platinum Version|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]] three years later; although Matsumiya's tweet suggests that they are also contemporaneous, the dialogue of [[Jasmine]] and [[Cynthia]] provides conflicting evidence on which games occur first.<ref name="Jasmine" group="note">'''Jasmine''': "I'm thinking maybe I should participate in this Contest in Sinnoh to try and be more vibrant." '''[[Erika]]''': "How did it go?" '''Jasmine''': "I couldn't bring myself to go to the Contest."</ref><ref name="Cynthia" group="note">'''Cynthia in HeartGold and SoulSilver''': "This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..." '''Cynthia in Platinum''': "No...! I'm so sorry I took so long. I think I finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, Dialga and Palkia appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--Giratina! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina."</ref> {{game|Black and White|s}} are set some years after this, as evidenced by [[Caitlin]] having visibly aged and Cynthia and the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] referencing previous events. [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] are set two years after Black and White, and are contemporaneous with {{g|X and Y}}, also revealed by Matsumiya's tweet. [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] take place two years after the events of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, as revealed by concept art of [[Grimsley]].<ref>Pokémon Sun and Moon Grimsley [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref> {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s placement is more vague, with little direct connection to other games, though the [[Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Type: Null}} in Sword mentions that stolen research notes led to the creation of more Type: Null,<ref group="note">'''Pokédex from Sword:''' ''Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the [[Galar]] region.''</ref> which could imply that they take place after the events of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, as only three Type: Null exist in those games. {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} take place after the events of Pokémon Sword and Shield, as revealed by the presence of a copy of ''[[Sonia's Book|Galar: A History]]'', which was published during the events of Sword and Shield, at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is established to be set long before all other games in the series, taking place in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Hisui|distant past]].

{{p|Porygon}}'s Pokédex entries in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon state that it was created 20 years ago,<ref name="Porygon" group="note">'''Pokédex from Sun:''' ''Roughly 20 years ago, it was artificially created, utilizing the latest technology of the time.'' Pokédex from Ultra Sun: ''This Pokémon was created using the cutting-edge science of 20 years ago, so many parts of it have since become obsolete.'' Pokédex from Ultra Moon: ''It was built 20 years ago by scientists who dreamed of exploring space. Their dreams have yet to come true.''</ref> and [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] states that Porygon was created in 1995 and that 150 Pokémon have been discovered as of 1996 <ref group="note">'''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]''': ''As of 1996, thanks to the investigative and research efforts of Prof. Oak, 150 species of Pokémon have been discovered.'' ''#118. Porygon: In 1995, Silph Co., which undertakes R&D into Pokémon and related products, successfully applied state-of-the-art technology to create this manmade Pokémon.''</ref>, meaning Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon take place 19 years after Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. From this information and the lengths of the gaps between other games in the series, it can be calculated that the gap between [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}} and Pokémon Black and White is 12 years long.

Although [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are remakes of Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} are known to have already finished their journeys years ago, and [[Mina]]'s age mentioned in her concept art would suggest that the games are set a maximum of 6 years before Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon,<ref>Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! [[Mina]] [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref><ref group="note">'''[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]''': "I mean, we have to move on from being [[Trial Captain|captains]] when we turn 20 anyway." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]])</ref> implying that they take place later than the original game. However, this is contradicted by [[Sabrina]] having a vision of meeting a special Trainer in three years, referencing the [[Player character|protagonist]] of Generation II, suggesting these games do not necessarily adhere to the timeline of the rest of the core series.

Although Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, they contain some references to features from the original games as having been present about a decade ago,<ref group="note">'''A {{tc|Bug Catcher}} in [[Rustboro City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]''': I heard that Pokémon Centers had two stories up until around 10 years ago! And they used to have a special area called a “Pokémon Cable Club”!" '''A {{tc|Battle Girl}} in [[Dewford Gym]]''': "A long time ago at Dewford Gym, it was always dark inside. We trained our minds by practicing in the dark!" '''An old man in [[Fallabor Town]]'s [[Contest Hall]]''': I just love making [[Pokéblock]]s! In the old days it used to take four of us to make a Pokéblock with this machine. A machine that was used to mix {{Berries}} in this region long ago." '''A man on [[Mt. Pyre]]''': "This used to be a desolate place. The ground had holes here and there, and I used to fall in!" '''{{ho|Mom}}''': "The [[Litleonids]], hmm? I remember going to see them with your dad 11 years ago when they last passed by!" (12 in the Japanese and Korean versions) '''[[Norman]]''': "Hmm? Is that an [[Eon Ticket]] you have there? Hm...it’s been a good 11 years since I last saw a ticket like this..."</ref> while others have not yet come about, such as the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which is under construction. Despite this, the remakes are implied to happen at the same point as the original games, as the [[Royal Unova]] and a device to visually reproduce the dreams of Pokémon having not yet been created reveals them to be before Pokémon Black and White<ref group="note">([[Oceanic Museum]]) '''“The Royal Unova”''' ''“A model of the sunset cruiser currently being built in the Unova region. It’s scheduled to be complete in — years.” The number is too faint to be read.''</ref><ref group="note">'''[[Devon Corporation|Devon]]'s scientist''': "I'm trying to develop a device that visually reproduces the dreams of Pokémon... And I’ve heard that my [[Fennel|rival]], who lives [[Unova|far away]], is doing the same research! I can't lose this race."</ref> and [[Mr. Bonding]] gaining [[O-Power]]s reveals them to be before Pokémon X and Y.<ref group="note">'''Mr. Bonding''': "HEY! This...this power! This power is incredible! I feel tied to these [[Old guys|old men]] with such strong bonds now! I feel like a totally different man!"</ref>

The specific years of events are not mentioned in the games themselves, but 1996, the year Pokémon Red and Green were released, is referenced in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon on Red's shirt, which features a symbol resembling the number "96". Pokémon Gold and Silver are known to occur three years later, also aligning with their release in 1999. Another reference to the passage of time in real life appears in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, in which [[Norman]] mentions having seen the [[Eon Ticket]] 11 years earlier, referencing how long had passed from the item's original distribution in 2003 to the release of the games. Similarly, the description of the [[Member Card]] mentions that the last date marked on it was 50 years ago; the date shown on the card's official artwork (1958.12.1) is exactly 50 years prior to its first distribution.

Furthermore, some of the games mention the existence of {{pkmn|multiverse|multiple alternate universes}}.

The 2002 trademarks were filed around the same time as trademarks for Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl, and are all the English names of minerals written in {{wp|katakana}} ({{wp|topaz}}, {{wp|tourmaline}}, {{wp|amethyst}}, {{wp|Moonstone (gemstone)|moonstone}}, and {{wp|white gold}}). The 2008 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Red, Green, and Blue, and are all the Japanese names of colors written with a single {{wp|kanji}}. The 2009 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Black, White, and Scarlet, and are all the English names of colors written in katakana. Of these, {{wp|vermilion}}, {{wp|crimson}}, and {{wp|Scarlet (color)|scarlet}} are shades of red.

Contrary to what is sometimes reported, the name '''WaterBlue''' was not trademarked by Nintendo, Creatures, or Game Freak. However, Game Freak's [[Junichi Masuda]] did mention "WaterBlue" in 2004 in a blog post explaining the company's choice of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|"FireRed" and "LeafGreen"}} as both the Japanese and international titles for the remakes of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/2004/08/index.html 増田部長のめざめるパワー]</ref><ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2004/08/index.html HIDDEN POWER of masuda]</ref>

Jun why isn't Jun included in this article seeing how he is the main Rival in Diamond and Pearl {{unsigned|DSDark}}

:He is, there's just no sprite of him uploaded yet. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 03:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

:No, it's not. Psychic is 1x against Grass. If you compared this to a {{type|Psychic}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}}, that would be the case as Bulbasaur is part {{type|Poison}}. Treecko is only Grass, therefore it doesn't apply.

== Rival ==

The article is about TRAINER CLASS named Rival, not sort of characters. Brendan, May, Wally, Lucas, Dawn and Barry never had this title so they shouldn't be there. Maybe there should be a separate article on Rivals (character) and Rival (the class). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:43, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

== May and Brendan - Psuedo Rivals? ==

I don't think May and Brendan should be in the same category as Dawn and Lucas. You never battle Dawn and Lucas. May and Brendan are a different story. I don't think Dawn and Lucas should even be on this page. They are not rivals, AT ALL. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:25, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

== Wally - a Pseudo Rival! ==

He should be classified as pseudo-rival. He's simply an odd-one out in the rivals category. He has a preset name, doesn't get a starter, doesn't seem to own Pokedex, doesn't count as main game character and, the most important, he NEVER starts any heated rivalry with the player. The player meets him... three times, IIRC. His role in the game is MUCH SMALLER than opposite-gender player's. Indeed, he's much stronger than him/her, but that does NOT make him a true rival. Not every strong trainer is a rival. Bear with it, THERE IS NO TRUE RIVAL IN R/S/E. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
:Personally, I don't believe there are any "pseudo rivals" in RSE. You just have two rivals. That's it. With Brendan/May and Wally combined, you have the equivalent of what is a true rival. The only pseudo rivals are Dawn and Lucas. If you fight a trainer repeatedly on your quest, then they're a rival. Period. Calling them pseudo just because they aren't the last ones we fight or because they don't have a true starter is stupid. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Silver.. ==

His first sprite is still there,what about [http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee357/Pichu_Chu/con01_img04.jpg this] one? I think it's from the Nintendo site,or maybe it's the Pokemon site(I can't recall). Is the picture too small? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 22:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah, too small, probably. We'll wait on a bigger image. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:19, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Wally and Brendan/May ==

I would say that Wally is a pseudo rival and Brendan/May the real rival. I mean, Blue, Silver and Pearl all live in the same town as the player, own a starter Pokémon from the professor, and you get to battle them during the game multiple times. The same applies for Brendan/May, except that they don't battle the player anymore after about 6 badges. Wally is totally different to the others, you have to battle him only twice during the game, he doesn't own a starter Pokémon and doesn't live in the same town. If you consider him a rival, you should also consider Steven Stone a rival (which is stupid, of course), since you meet him several times and in the end also battle with him. --[[User:Bisasam|Bisasam]] 09:35, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

== Kotone and Hibiki/Gold ==

I completely and utterly fail to see how these two count as pseudo-rivals. You never battle them, or tag battle with them, or even see any of their Pokemon besides that Marill they play with.

I haven't played with a male PC yet, so I don't know what Kotone does, but in HG Hibiki just calls me up and tells me some lie about taking some Pokemon somewhere to see something interesting. That's all. 8( [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 08:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

== Ronald ==

Wouldn’t Ronald from the TCG be classed as a rival? Mark and Mint are included in the player character section. I would add him myself but I don’t know how to work tables. [[User:Kingofall42|Kingofall42]] 11:33, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

==Y in end of each name ==
shouldn't we add that most of the main rivals names end in Y (Gary, Wally, Barry) only silver was left and he is unnamed he could have a name ending in Y (ok it's just speculation).[[User:Badwolf1234|Badwolf1234]] 14:32, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
:No, that's not important enough to really mention... -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 14:34, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

== Wally vs. May/Brendan ==

Why is Wally, who only battles the player twice with a Pokemon that isn't even a starter as the lead member of his team, considered to be the player's rival, even though May or Brendan battle the player regularly with their starter being the traditional advantageous choice against the player's? May and Brendan even get their own battle theme, like almost all the other rivals, whereas Wally doesn't. They seem to fit the classic description of a "rival" way more than Wally does, even though he battles the player in Victory Road and can be battled again after that. Regardless, my question boils down to this: why him and not them? Is it just because they're the player character that isn't chosen that they're just lumped together with Lucas/Dawn and Ethan/Lyra? [[User:Teamrocketspy621|Teamrocketspy621]] 20:25, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree. I think Brendan/May are more of rivals and not "pseudo-rivals" until the end where Wally steps up. I think both characters, that is Brendan/May and Wally, are both rivals. Neither are considered pseudo because the both challenge the player continuously, unlike Dawn/Lucas and Ethan/Lyra who only aid the player. I think Brendan/May should be moved out of that "pseudo" box. [[User:Pocketfanmk|Pocketfanmk]] 00:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:I also support this. Brendan/May had the Starter Pokémon that trumps yours, were fought at regular intervals...The only thing keeping Wally as the Rival is that he fights you at Victory Road, but that's only because by then your real rival had quit being a Trainer back in Lilycove.
:So yeah, move Brendan/May out of the pesuo-rival box. [[User:Reign|Reign]] 01:03, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

== (trainer class) ==

Is that really needed? This page talks about the entire existence of rivals in all of Pokémon, while calling it a trainer class leans toward the games. I'm for a split. [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 22:59, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, I don't know why I moved it... —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:52, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

== Pseudo rivals? ==

I don't think we should continue using this ambiguous term. The images suggest the difference between "main rivals" and "pseudo rivals" is that the second group are simply player characters, but, well, those would simply be player characters (already included in that article) and NPC's (they already appear in their region NPC template), though not necessarily rivals. The wording in the article seems to suggest that Wally isn't a main rival because he doesn't have a starter whose typing weakens the player's, but then where does Bel fit in? Blue in Yellow? In short, I think we should just stick with a simple, concise definition for a rival in the games. From [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rival Wiktionary], a rival is
::''A competitor (person, team, company, etc.) who is well known to another and has similar skills and achievements. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of a competitor.''
Taking from that, I think the following is a nice definition for "Pokémon game rival":
::''A Rival is a recurring character, introduced early in the games, who challenges the player repeatedly in different points of his or her journey and whose Pokémon's levels progress roughly at the same rate as the player's.''
So basically, two things are important: that they are well known to each other (introduced early), and that they have similar skills and achievements (levels progress at same rate). This would leave as rivals: {{ga|Blue}}, {{ga|Silver}}, {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}, [[Wally]], {{ga|Barry}}, [[Cheren]], and [[Bel]] (basically those in the template), and we would eliminate the vague and contradictory "pseudo rival" term. Anyone agree? '''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 20:11, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
:And give Lucas, Dawn, Ethan, and Lyra the boot? Hell yes I am all for it. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 20:38, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia about similar pokemon ==
''Ash has at least one species of Pokémon each of his major rivals own. Gary captured a Krabby, Paul uses a Torterra and Gliscor, Barry uses a Staraptor and Heracross, and Shooti uses a Janovy.''

I think without mentioning Snivy this line can lead to confusion that Ash has a Janovu, while he has no (at least as of now) because of the word "[[species]]". So basicly Snivy should be noted because it is the real tie between the two of them, not Janovu. --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 16:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

== N ==

Well, I think N should be considered a rival, because he battles you most of the times and is in the {{pkmn|Trainer}} class. Can I change the Unova section? {{unsigned|MickBooterhood}}
:He seems like a rival, but he actually is the king of Team Plasma, just like Giovanni is the leader of Team Rocket, that's why it isn't in here, or so I guess. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 13:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
::N isn't a rival, he is an evil team leader. Using the Trainer class "{{PK}}{{MN}}Trainer" doesn't make someone a rival. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:07, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Yes, but it is different from other bosses... He doesn't get close to the player and voluntarily asks it to have a 'friendly' battle, and even N does it often. At first we don't really know that he's the king, so from the start it could be the third rival... {{unsigned|MickBooterhood}}
:Perhaps he is meant to appear to be a rival at the first few encounters then you realize he is not a rival at all. Regardless, that is just speculation, and N is not a rival. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:01, 5 February 2011 (UTC

== Blue's sprite ==

Why is Blue's FireRed and LeafGreen sprite being used instead of his HeartGold and SoulSilver sprite? Because he is not a rival in that game? {{unsigned|Spearbeedrill15}}
::Yes. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

== Team Magma/Aqua (Manga) ==

Those don't really seem to fit in with the article in my opinion...or maybe the wording needs to be changed, because they're not individual characters like is mentioned in the Adventures section. It just seems strange that they're the only teams on the entire page. [[User:Toujours|Toujours]] 00:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

== Rivalry (not the ability) ==

About those rivals mentioned in the article, the Article just expresses them as Rivals. I think we should make an article about the development of what became the relationship between them, in many cases the rivalry is the clash of their personalities, but the article could express the main reason of the rivalry: Ash and Gary is the broken Pokéball, Burgundy being a rival just for revenge at her loss for Cilan. The article could be not just limited to the human rivalry: Ash's Oshawott and Dawn's Piplup; Ash's Infernape and Paul's Electivire; the classic example of Zangoose and Seviper; Groudon and Kyogre; Tornadus and Thundrus; Heatmor and Durant; and so on... What do you think?

+I've read Pokémon Adventures and I saw on chapther a Zangoose and a Seviper fighting, but when they spotted Ruby and the Swimmer they attacked them insead of each other, the Swimmer mentioned that despite being bitter enemies, their rivalry is sacred, is it notable enough to put on the article or the article I'm planning?--[[User:Igor Castro Chucre|Igor ]] ([[User talk:Igor Castro Chucre|talk]]) 23:11, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

So Calem/Serena are obviously one of the rival characters, however, shauna seems to fit the role in the same way bianca did. She gets a pokemon the same time you do, choosing the starter weak to yours, and she is even the first one that you battle. She starts her adventure the same time you do (like all rivals).

Don't they count as rivals? Trevor's your rival in completing the Pokédex (an unorthodox rivalry, but still a rivalry), and you face off with not only him but both N and Tierno multiple times in battle throughout your journeys...

::I don't like Trevor and Tierno being included. (Put simply, I mostly just think they don't fit; they're too ''weird''.) I wouldn't be surprised if the anime has said something like "It's cool having lots of rivals", but I don't really agree with that; I think there should only be one - maybe two - "actual" rivals. If that means making a requirement to only count characters who battle you frequently - i.e., cutting out Wally and Shauna - I'd be okay with that (I'm not that fond of Shauna being here either).
::FWIW, I also haven't completed the main game at this point, so maybe I'd change my view a bit after the battle that's supposed to be on Route 19. ...For Shauna, at least. Trevor and Tierno are still weird. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:17, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

::I don't think that Wally should be cut out, I can understand the others, but wally is much more of a rival than Brendan/May. Brendan/May quit being a trainer long before the end of the game. While Wally continues to battle you 'til the very end and is the character that you can rematch after beating the elite four (just like almost every rival so far). I think Wally was designed to be the rival character while Brendan/May were player characters that just acted as secondary rivals (they are like Dawn/Lucas in Sinnoh games, but you battle them a few times).
::I think that if Shauna, Trevor, and Tierno were not classified as rivals, then there should be a new classification for characters like them, as well as Ethan/Lyra, Dawn/Lucas, and N. They are all significant companion/rival-like characters, so it would make sense to make a new fandom term for these characters. I know Pseudo-rivals used to be a thing but isn't because it was redundant, but there are a lot more characters that can fit that title now.

:::I think I'd like having something like "primary rivals" (the character who "counter-picked" the player and chose the starter that the player's is weak to) and "secondary rivals" (more or less any "rival-like" friends or acquaintances who the player battles repeatedly over the course of the game). Because I really think there's a bit of a problem when the characters who counter-picked the player aren't differentiated from whoever else broadly fits the description of "rival".
:::If it were all up to me, I'd just say the "secondary" rivals shouldn't be on this page at all.

::::I wouldn't say that the trainer who counter-picks your starter is the primary rival. Mostly because that means that Brendan and May would be primary rivals, when the rival between them ends. And by ends, I mean it ends before the rival even has their counter-picked starter fully evolved. Also, that would mean that Bianca is a secondary rival to Cheren, when the game introduces both characters in the same way, and they both fit equal amounts of other requirements of being a rival. I think if we went with a "primary" and "secondary" rival system, then the rematch characters (Blue, Silver, Wally, Barry, Cheren, Bianca, Hugh, and Serena/Calem) should be primary, considering that the rivalry never ends (since you can rematch them at any point). This would mean that the non-rematch rivals (Brendan/May, possibly N?, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor) would be secondary. I know that people tend to disagree on Brendan/May versus Wally, however Wally is the character that can be rematched, while Brendan/May literally aren't even trainers anymore by Lilycove, let alone rivals. Also, Wally may only have two canonized battles, but Brendan/May only have four (and that's all they get, while Wally could end up being 10+).

== Gladion ==

Should Gladion be considered a rival? He can be fought before the League like other rivals, and his Silvally changes type to be super effective against the Player's starter. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 00:04, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

::I don't think that makes too much of a difference: Most rivals are fought shortly before the eight Gym (Bianca and Shauna/Tierno/Trevor, although this has only happened in games that had other rivals, admittedly), shortly before Victory Road (Blue and Cheren), inside of Victory Road (Silver, Wally, Hugh, and Calem/Serena), or shortly before challenging the Pokémon League (Barry and Hau).

:::It's definitely a tough call. But I think the strongest case to be made against including him as a rival is that unlike past rivals (even ones who don't use typical starters like Wally, Tierno, and Trevor), Gladion is not encountered at or near the beginning of your journey—rather, you don't encounter him for the first time until you have already cleared an entire island's trial and grand trial. —[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 16:17, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
::::The problem with that argument is that it ignores all of the other evidence that proves he is a rival. In another instance, during the Battle Royale, you verse both him and Hau as if they are your rival. Interestingly, the professor is also one you verse, with him holding the starter that counters your own Pokemon as well when you verse him at the Pokemon League. This brings up an argument for the Professor being your rival as well. You meet him in the beginning, he has the starter Pokemon that counters you when you verse him in the Pokemon League. In this case, the Professor also lacks one requirement for being a rival just like Gladion. So if Gladion is the rival, so is the professor since both lack one of the "requirements". One lacks the "meets during the beginning of the journey" and the other lacks "beats the island challenges with you." Another thing to consider is that the first Island is actually just a "tutorial" since its a drastically different Pokemon game. That you meet Gladion on the second Island when your adventure truly begins. [[User:TuxKick|TuxKick]] ([[User talk:TuxKick|talk]]) 19:08, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

::: I personally feel that he is a rival because he still battles you multiple times throughout the story, has a signature Pokemon that evolves near the end (Type: Null) and counters your starter by changing Silvally's type. He might not have a normal starter, but neither do Wally, Tierno, and Trevor, and they're still considered your rivals. Much like the rivals from XY and ORAS, as well as fellow rival Hau, near the end of the story he is able to use a battle ability that had previously just been limited to just the PC (Z-moves).

Administrative authority DOES trump a discussion of ordinary users - but a discussion of ordinary users can convince the administrators to change their mind, if they have good enough arguments.
In this case, Gladion definitely falls into the role of a rival. The "similar goal" criteria is a terrible one, given that a character's "goal", in Pokémon is just words. Whether or not a character is a rival should be judged on their actions instead. Gladion is one of your peers, a young trainer who's still relatively new to training and who grows in experience over the course of the story. Hho repeatedly challenges you to battle over the course of the main story; largely for the sole purpose of testing his strength against you (not to keep you from thwarting his plans. Narratively speaking, he clearly plays the role of a rival. --[[User:Evil Figment|Evil Figment]] ([[User talk:Evil Figment|talk]]) 15:50, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

The rivals, this way, are in the same style as the player characters, which makes sense because the rival and the player are supposed to be interconnected like that. Also, I never really liked how Rivals were labeled with a specific region. It just made them like champions, and Hugh made it so a region could have different rivals at different times. Plus, Wally appears outside of Hoenn. So should this at least be considered? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 22:48, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

:Also, consider adding the Let's Go rival to your proposed table above to keep it up to date with ongoing events, but without the color2 template so it doesn't link to anything undesired (like ??? automatically redirecting to [[???

== N re-evaluated as a rival ==

I think N fits the criteria perfectly to be considered a rival and I would propose we add him to the page. I've seen no good arguments to the contrary except that N is a member of an evil team which I feel should not disqualify him from being considered as so is Gladion and yet he is generally considered a rival character amongst most of the fandom. [[User:Nightfall217|Nightfall217]] ([[User talk:Nightfall217|talk]]) 02:01, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
:The things is though, is that to be a rival, the character must strive for a same or similar goal as the player, typically by different methods. N doesn't do that. His goals are very different from the players, and while this puts them at odds with each other, it is not in a way that makes them rivals. However, in Gladion's case, he initally antagonizes the character, but then switches over to sharing goals, stop Lusamine and keep Nebby safe. He additionally has a team that adapts to the player's starter choice, and while that's not a necessity, it is certainly an extra tick of favour towards him being a rival.

== Proper definition of a rival and correct categorization ==

This article blows my mind when I read it. A couple of characters who are considered rivals do not fit the description presented in the article. I will quote a fragment of the current version: ''A rival is one of the main characters in the Pokémon games that is well known to the protagonist and has similar skills, goals, and achievements.''
This simple sentence means that whoever is your rival should strive for the same objective while possessing actual strength to compete with you. Having this with mind, I will write what is mind-boggling to me.

'''1. Shauna.''' She's a girl who starts the journey with you but fails to find a reason for it other than having fun. She neither plans to complete the Pokedex nor defeat the champion nor become strong unlike the player. There is basically no reason to include her on the list unless you change the definition of a rival to "a recurring character that battles the player sometimes". However, that definition would create even more problems since people like Sycamore would count. '''In my opinion, she should be removed from the list.'''

'''2. Tierno.''' Similarly to Shauna, he starts the journey with the player. The difference between him and Shauna is that he has a goal but it's different to the player's. It means he doesn't compete with you in anything. His team is honestly garbage as well so you can't say with a straight face that he has similar skills to the player. '''In my opinion, he should be removed from the list.'''

'''3. Trevor/May/Brendan.''' I am including all three in this point since all of them are similar. Their objective isn't exactly to beat the player or to defeat the champion but rather to fill the Pokedex. Since one of your goals in all main games is to do this, '''it's perfectly understandable to consider them rivals'''. Just like in the above-mentioned definition, they have similar goals and achievements (skills may be debatable but it's trivial). I only put this point here because I see people questioning Trevor's rival status.

Bottom line, Shauna and Tierno should be classified exactly the same as Lillie. Travelling companions rather than rivals. The only other solution I see to this incorrect categorization is to change the whole definition. Good luck with the latter though, since you may accidentally create something that includes N as a rival.- [[User:Celeb|Celeb]] ([[User talk:Celeb|talk]]) 13:08, 02 May 2020 (UTC)

:Well, for me, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor aren't technically rivals, but friends, since that's what their battle theme in the official soundtrack is called, Battle! (Friend), though that matters little for this discussion. In my opinion, the definition of Rival is either a trainer who starts their adventure at the same time as the player, regardless of the goals they develop later '''[May/Brendan, Bianca, Shauna, Tierno, Trevor]''', or a Trainer (not necessarily a bad guy) met at some point on the adventure whose goals are explicitly the same as or similar to the player, but with the express intent to be better than the player at said goal '''[--Starts with player: Blue, Silver, Barry, Cheren, Hugh, Serena/Calem, Hau, Hop. --Starts later: Wally, Gladion, Bede, Marnie, Klara/Avery]'''. While you may think said definition could include N, it does not, as N's goal is not shared with the player, N wanted to free pokémon, follow his truths/ideals, while the player in black/white went out to stop him as a representative of the opposite force and to prove that trainers and pokémon should be together. They fight, not because they strive for the same thing, but because they represent opposite ideologies, hence why they have opposing Unova dragons. Even though their battling is often amicable, this still doesn't make them rivals. Instead, they are opposites, amicable enemies, forces of opposition that will fight till the end of time.
:In the case of Gladion however, while he is initially is a pseudo-member of team skull he quickly switches over to being a companion, and once the player reaches Mount Lanakila his dialogue almost explicitly states that he wishes to be a better trainer than the player: "…If you two are going to get even stronger, then I guess I can't let down my guard yet.", "Keep winning. Maybe I'll see you again if you do."
:AND! during his title defense battles in Sun/Moon he explicitly calls himself the player's rival: ""What does a Pokémon Trainer really need to be successful? I guess everyone might have their own answer. But for me... I want the strongest rival for myself." While in UsUm there is an additional line after his first one: "I trained for a long time trying to figure that out." Showing that he trained himself specifically to try and prove himself better than the player.
:Those dialogues alone clearly make Gladion more of a Rival than N, even regardless of the fact that Gladion fits my proposed criteria and N does not. Even though Gladion's goals are not static during the game, this does not disqualify him from growing into the role of a rival.

:Also, while the first criteria I've provided certainly seems more like it describes a Travelling companion, all of the provided examples battle with the player at least once, at some point do want to be better than the player at something and are recurring enough to make them signifigant on the level of a rival, even if most of them grow out of being the player's rival [Brendan/May & Bianca go on to become assistants to professors, while Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor sorta fade from being a rival to follow their own goals separate from the player] making them the opposite of Gladion's case.

:That is... definitely a point. I'm not sure how much weight to give said point, but it absolutely has some weight, even if only a little bit. [[User:Nikkie2571|Nikkie2571]] ([[User talk:Nikkie2571|talk]]) 04:26, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
::The term "rival" always had some form of subjectivity to it, and there was never a definition for them aside from 1 or 2 characters having the rival trainer class in the games. However, N does indeed have similar traits as to what a rival would usually, such as being battled throughout the game. Pokemon Masters giving the rivals theme skill, is one of the few times any of these characters have been labeled as a rival. However, characters like Serena and Calem seem to lack the rival theme skill in Masters. On another note, the Sync Pair stories section has their own character listings, and tends to organizes them by Player character then rival, then gym leader, and so on so forth. N's grouped with the Unova villains, while Blue has the champion spot instead of rival, however, Lillie is mushed between Hau and Gladion in the Alola rival spots, which implies that Lillie is a rival despite her lacking the rival theme skill. I feel like the overall definition of a rival is very muddied, and I think mentions of these things should at least mentioned on the page, even if the characters aren't on the main table. I'm not really even sure how much Masters should have an impact on the pages here, but there's clearly some form of canoncity with how characters are interpreted within Masters.

== Tina's classification ==

I know not a lot of people know much about Tina from Pokémon Masters EX (I've been meaning to expand the explanation of her role in the games, but haven't gotten around to it yet), but I really don't think she should be considered a rival. She didn't compete in the first PML, she can't be battled in any main story or event area, and she didn't arrive on Pasio until long after the player did. She could be considered ''Paulo's'' rival, since they came from the same hometown and started their journeys at the same time and all, but I wouldn't call her a rival to the ''player''. So, I think she should be removed from the list of rivals, and at best it can be mentioned that she and Paulo have a rivalry. (Though personally I don't think we should be mentioning rivalries between NPCs; if we were to note every time a character calls another character their rival, this page would be ridiculously long.)

== PE should be between SMUSUM and SS ==

Why is Trace between Blue and Silver instead of between Gladion and Hop? [[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 16:29, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・グリーン''' ''Green Ōkido'') is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the rival's name depends on the current game: '''Green'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Red'''{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Blue'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|レッド}}''', or '''{{j|ブルー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the rival's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Gary'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. Blue's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series games==
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.

In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a starter Pokémon from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.

Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].

In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.

While he does not appear in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.

After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the Kanto starter Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.

He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1''), <sc>Rival2</sc> (Japanese: ライバル2 ''Rival 2''), and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.
* Blue's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} were able to progress without receiving a starter Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player gets their starter Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's starter from this point onwards.
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|anime counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a gym slogan.
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].
* In Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are evolved by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his starter, {{p|Eevee}}.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The rival is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and {{ga|Red|the player}} is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The rival is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and the player is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]]
** The rival is once again named '''Red''', while the player is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The rival is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and the player is named Yellow, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), {{ga|Red}} and Blue are named "{{Ash}}" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Blue and {{ga|Red}}:
** The unused default name for Blue in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc> while Red's is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 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 {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]], which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Blue and Red differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Blue's unused default name is いしはら ''Ishihara'' while Red's is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi''. Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time, while Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Blue and Red are, respectively, クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]] and ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Blue was initially named ギャラ夫 ''Gyarao'', a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref>
* In the game data of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Blue's default name is internally "Terry".

'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・グリーン''' ''Green Ōkido'') is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the rival's name depends on the current game: '''Green'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Red'''{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Blue'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|レッド}}''', or '''{{j|ブルー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the rival's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Gary'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. Blue's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series games==
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.

In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a starter Pokémon from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.

Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].

In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.

While he does not appear in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.

After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the Kanto starter Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.

He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1''), <sc>Rival2</sc> (Japanese: ライバル2 ''Rival 2''), and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.
* Blue's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} were able to progress without receiving a starter Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player gets their starter Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's starter from this point onwards.
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|anime counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a gym slogan.
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].
* In Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are evolved by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his starter, {{p|Eevee}}.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The rival is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and {{ga|Red|the player}} is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The rival is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and the player is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]]
** The rival is once again named '''Red''', while the player is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The rival is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and the player is named Yellow, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), {{ga|Red}} and Blue are named "{{Ash}}" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Blue and {{ga|Red}}:
** The unused default name for Blue in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc> while Red's is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 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 {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]], which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Blue and Red differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Blue's unused default name is いしはら ''Ishihara'' while Red's is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi''. Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time, while Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Blue and Red are, respectively, クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]] and ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Blue was initially named ギャラ夫 ''Gyarao'', a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref>
* In the game data of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Blue's default name is internally "Terry".

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], his name depends on the current game: '''Red'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Green'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''Blue'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Yellow'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''', '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|ブルー}}''', or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the player's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Ash'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. He was also named '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''') in early official media. Red's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|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 {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|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 [[Parcel|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 Leader]]s 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 Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; 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 [[Team Rocket Hideout|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 {{type|Ghost}} 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 [[Gym Leader|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 {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|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 {{pkmn|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, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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 {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto starter [[Mega Stone]]s.

Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.

===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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|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 {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, including Pokémon that he's never used in any of his previous NPC appearances.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
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.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|Red (Masters)}}
Red appears in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], forming a [[sync pair]] with his {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (game)}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].]]
====Pokémon Trainer====
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}

Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.

Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.

====Other references====
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Style (GO)}}
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} were released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].

==Quotes==
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}

==Optional names==
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

==In the TFG==
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.

* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.

The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====Main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
Red's [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], 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 {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[starter Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

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

Pikachu continued to travel with its Trainer throughout [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]], battling against Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.}}

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

====Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure====
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]
Red debuted as a silhouette in [[JBA5]]. He then physically debuted in [[JBA6]]. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} after [[Jō]]'s battle with the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]]. Jō later encountered Red when he reached the top of [[Mt. Silver]], ready to battle him.

==Trivia==
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|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]].
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|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 {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** 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 [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.
* 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 {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref>
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Sygna Suit]] {{mas|Red}} is heard speaking several times.
::::In his [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story, he speaks a single line:
:::::''"… … … … … … Words are unnecessary!"''
::::In Chapter 30, he speaks two lines:
:::::''"…I accept your challenge!"''
:::::''"Congratulations! You won!"''
::::Also in Chapter 30, Red's thoughts are heard once as well:
:::::''"{{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Leaf}}… Let's win this—together!"''
::::He speaks a single line in the {{DL|Special event|Blazing Battle with Ash}} [[special event]]:
:::::''"…I'll be waiting."''
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of eight so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|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.
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The player is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and {{ga|Blue|his rival}} is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The player is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and his rival is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]].
** The player is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and his rival is once again named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The player is named '''Yellow''' (Japanese: '''{{j|イエロー}}''' ''Yellow''), and his rival is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}:<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>
*** 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 {{wp|Chief executive officer|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 {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|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 then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before deciding on the name "Red", named after one of the two original paired game versions of [[Generation I]].
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the [[Nintendo Space World]] 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen at the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named "Osamu" (Japanese: オサム).<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスターファイアレッド・リーフグリーン]</ref>
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), Red and {{ga|Blue}} are named "Ash" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], his name depends on the current game: '''Red'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Green'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''Blue'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Yellow'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''', '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|ブルー}}''', or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the player's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Ash'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. He was also named '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''') in early official media. Red's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|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 {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|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 [[Parcel|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 Leader]]s 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 Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; 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 [[Team Rocket Hideout|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 {{type|Ghost}} 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 [[Gym Leader|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 {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|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 {{pkmn|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, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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 {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto starter [[Mega Stone]]s.

Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.

===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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|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 {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, including Pokémon that he's never used in any of his previous NPC appearances.

==In the side series games==
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be 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.

During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.

====Pokémon====
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{ga|Red's Pikachu|his Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
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.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|Red (Masters)}}
Red appears in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], forming a [[sync pair]] with his {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (game)}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].]]
====Pokémon Trainer====
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}

Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.

Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.

====Other references====
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Style (GO)}}
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} were released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].

==Quotes==
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}

==Optional names==
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

==In the TFG==
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.

* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.

The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====Main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
Red's [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], 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 {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[starter Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

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

====Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure====
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]
Red debuted as a silhouette in [[JBA5]]. He then physically debuted in [[JBA6]]. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} after [[Jō]]'s battle with the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]]. Jō later encountered Red when he reached the top of [[Mt. Silver]], ready to battle him.

==Trivia==
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|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]].
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|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 {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** 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 [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.
* 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 {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref>
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Sygna Suit]] {{mas|Red}} is heard speaking several times.
::::In his [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story, he speaks a single line:
:::::''"… … … … … … Words are unnecessary!"''
::::In Chapter 30, he speaks two lines:
:::::''"…I accept your challenge!"''
:::::''"Congratulations! You won!"''
::::Also in Chapter 30, Red's thoughts are heard once as well:
:::::''"{{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Leaf}}… Let's win this—together!"''
::::He speaks a single line in the {{DL|Special event|Blazing Battle with Ash}} [[special event]]:
:::::''"…I'll be waiting."''
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of eight so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|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.
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The player is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and {{ga|Blue|his rival}} is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The player is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and his rival is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]].
** The player is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and his rival is once again named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The player is named '''Yellow''' (Japanese: '''{{j|イエロー}}''' ''Yellow''), and his rival is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}:<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>
*** 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 {{wp|Chief executive officer|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 {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|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 then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before deciding on the name "Red", named after one of the two original paired game versions of [[Generation I]].
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the [[Nintendo Space World]] 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen at the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named "Osamu" (Japanese: オサム).<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスターファイアレッド・リーフグリーン]</ref>
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), Red and {{ga|Blue}} are named "Ash" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.

'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・グリーン''' ''Green Ōkido'') is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the rival's name depends on the current game: '''Green'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Red'''{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Blue'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|レッド}}''', or '''{{j|ブルー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the rival's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Gary'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. Blue's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series games==
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.

In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a starter Pokémon from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.

Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].

In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.

While he does not appear in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.

After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the Kanto starter Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.

Much like Blue, Gary was initially very arrogant, but mellowed out after he was defeated by his rival during the [[Silver Conference]].

Instead, he has decided to become a Pokémon researcher like his grandfather, and is currently a part of [[Project Mew]].

====Pokémon Origins====

Blue prominently appeared in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]''. At the beginning of the episode, he was the subject of the [[Elite Four]]'s latest conversation, where they described him as a very strong Trainer who was the first in a long time to have collected eight Gym [[Badge]]s. He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1''), <sc>Rival2</sc> (Japanese: ライバル2 ''Rival 2''), and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.
* Blue's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} were able to progress without receiving a starter Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player gets their starter Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's starter from this point onwards.
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|anime counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a gym slogan.
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].
* In Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are evolved by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his starter, {{p|Eevee}}.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].

[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The rival is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and {{ga|Red|the player}} is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The rival is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and the player is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]]
** The rival is once again named '''Red''', while the player is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The rival is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and the player is named Yellow, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), {{ga|Red}} and Blue are named "{{Ash}}" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Blue and {{ga|Red}}:
** The unused default name for Blue in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc> while Red's is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 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 {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]], which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Blue and Red differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Blue's unused default name is いしはら ''Ishihara'' while Red's is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi''. Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time, while Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Blue and Red are, respectively, クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]] and ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Blue was initially named ギャラ夫 ''Gyarao'', a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref>
* In the game data of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Blue's default name is internally "Terry".

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], his name depends on the current game: '''Red'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Green'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''Blue'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Yellow'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''', '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|ブルー}}''', or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the player's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Ash'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. He was also named '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''') in early official media. Red's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|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 {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|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 [[Parcel|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 Leader]]s 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 Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; 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 [[Team Rocket Hideout|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 {{type|Ghost}} 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 [[Gym Leader|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 {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|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 {{pkmn|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, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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 {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto starter [[Mega Stone]]s.

Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.

===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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|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 {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, including Pokémon that he's never used in any of his previous NPC appearances.

==In the side series games==
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be 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.

During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.

====Pokémon====
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{ga|Red's Pikachu|his Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
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.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|Red (Masters)}}
Red appears in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], forming a [[sync pair]] with his {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (game)}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].]]
====Pokémon Trainer====
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}

Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.

Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.

====Other references====
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Style (GO)}}
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} were released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].

==Quotes==
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}

==Optional names==
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

==In the TFG==
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.

* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.

The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====Main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
Red's [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], 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 {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[starter Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

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

Red appeared in ''[[PT02|The Pancham Who Wants to Be a Hero]]''. He was the {{pkmn|Trainer}} of an {{p|Arcanine}} that became the hero of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pancham}} ever since it stopped an {{p|Impidimp}} from stealing Pancham's [[Berry]].

Red was briefly mentioned in ''[[GB02|Falkner The Bird Keeper's Challenge!!]]'' by [[Professor Oak]], who said that {{GnB|Gold}} looks similar to him. However, due to the manga ending soon after Gold reaches [[Cianwood City]], Red was never physically seen.

====Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure====
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]
Red debuted as a silhouette in [[JBA5]]. He then physically debuted in [[JBA6]]. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} after [[Jō]]'s battle with the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]]. Jō later encountered Red when he reached the top of [[Mt. Silver]], ready to battle him.

==Trivia==
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|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]].
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|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 {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** 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 [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.
* 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 {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref>
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Sygna Suit]] {{mas|Red}} is heard speaking several times.
::::In his [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story, he speaks a single line:
:::::''"… … … … … … Words are unnecessary!"''
::::In Chapter 30, he speaks two lines:
:::::''"…I accept your challenge!"''
:::::''"Congratulations! You won!"''
::::Also in Chapter 30, Red's thoughts are heard once as well:
:::::''"{{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Leaf}}… Let's win this—together!"''
::::He speaks a single line in the {{DL|Special event|Blazing Battle with Ash}} [[special event]]:
:::::''"…I'll be waiting."''
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of eight so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|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.
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The player is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and {{ga|Blue|his rival}} is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The player is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and his rival is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]].
** The player is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and his rival is once again named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The player is named '''Yellow''' (Japanese: '''{{j|イエロー}}''' ''Yellow''), and his rival is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}:<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>
*** 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 {{wp|Chief executive officer|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 {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|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 then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before deciding on the name "Red", named after one of the two original paired game versions of [[Generation I]].
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the [[Nintendo Space World]] 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen at the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named "Osamu" (Japanese: オサム).<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスターファイアレッド・リーフグリーン]</ref>
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), Red and {{ga|Blue}} are named "Ash" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.

'''Caitlin''' (Japanese: '''カトレア''' ''Cattleya'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]]. She is also the head of the [[Battle Castle]] in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} that appeared in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==In the core series games==
In {{3v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, Caitlin is the employer of [[Darach]] and oversees his [[Battle Castle]] {{pkmn|battle}}s. She is responsible for determining how many {{DL|Battle Castle|Castle Points|CP}} the {{player}} should receive depending on the outcome of the battle. She is said to be the most important person in the Battle Castle and acts like its princess.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Caitlin appears as a member of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Unova]]; she traveled to the [[region]] alone in order to develop her skills further. It is revealed that she possesses some sort of psychic powers, and that in the past, she had an explosive temper that would erupt if she lost a battle causing her psychic powers to cause a lot of damage. This is the reason why [[Darach]] fought in her place in [[Generation IV]].<ref>Caitlin: "''In the past, when I battled, the force of my emotions shook me greatly. When my power awoke, I came close to destroying everything around me. That weak person no longer exists... Still, sometimes, my determination fails.''"</ref> It may also explain why she was quite impatient, as she demanded that Darach give the player Castle Points "at once!" after each victory in the Battle Castle.

She later appears in a villa that she is lending to [[Cynthia]], as do the other female [[Gym Leader]]s and Elite Four members. She also mentions her time at the [[Battle Castle]] while in the villa.

===Main series===
[[File:BWS2 Caitlin.png|thumb|250px|Caitlin in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Caitlin debuted in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', where she participated in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against {{an|Cynthia}} in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite how powerful the two Trainers were, the time limit put on the battle ended before either of their Pokémon could be defeated, making the match a draw.

She briefly reappeared in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', where she was part of the Junior Cup's closing ceremony.

====Character====
Caitlin aims to battle with grace and elegance. Though she looks confident on the outside, it is implied she is still struggling to become an [[Elite Four]] member by her close friend and mentor {{an|Cynthia}}, as seen during the {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]''.

===GOTCHA!===
Caitlin briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Caitlin Pt Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Caitlin in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
====={{chap|Platinum}}=====
Caitlin first appeared alongside her valet [[Darach]] when she misheard {{adv|Looker}} referring to {{adv|Platinum}} as "Lady" as talking to her. When Looker tried to tell her about the mistake, Darach's Gallade immediately attacked him, stripping him down to his underwear. She later watched Platinum and Darach battle at the Battle Castle and scolded Darach when he was defeated. It is later revealed that Caitlin has gained a desire to battle after watching Platinum's battle against Darach. This desire to fight causes her latent psychic powers to awaken and go out of control while Caitlin crazily mutters the word "fight" over and over. She is calmed down by Darach when he offers her some tea.

====={{chap|Black & White}}=====
[[File:Unova Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|270px|left|Caitlin in the ''Black & White'' chapter]]
It is revealed that she has become a member of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. She reappears in the {{un|Pokémon League}}, when the Elite Four assemble before the tournament started. As they discuss [[Alder]]'s recent defeat by the hands of {{adv|N}}, the Elite Four inquire what to do about [[Team Plasma]]. Caitlin chooses to let Team Plasma continue their speeches, as they're technically not doing anything wrong. Despite defending Team Plasma's freedom of speech, Caitlin feels that their kidnapping of the Gym Leaders is too much and needs to be stopped. By using the ability of her Gothitelle and her own psychic powers, Caitlin begins to communicate with the Gym Leaders to try and find their current location. She is unable to determine the Gym Leader's location, but Caitlin is able to find out that they are alright. She travels to the location of {{adv|Black}}'s Gym battle against [[Drayden]] to relay a message to Black from the Gym Leaders.

The four then watch as spectators for the tournament before their battles can begin. Although the tournament is won by Black, the event is interrupted by Team Plasma, who attacks the stadium by surrounding it with [[N's Castle]]. The Elite Four travel on Shauntal's {{p|Golurk}} to try and confront N at the top of the castle, but they are attacked by [[Colress|Hood Man]], who uses {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Tornadus}}, {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Thundurus}}, and {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Landorus}} against them to try and figure out how to activate the three Pokémon's Therian Formes. During the commotion, Black accidentally crashes onto Golurk and lands on the Elite Four. Caitlin reveals to Black that she had encountered his {{p|Munna}}, [[Musha]], right before they went to prepare for the Elite Four battles. Black was told by N that Musha had left because he no longer liked the taste of Black's dreams, but Caitlin reveals that Musha had really left to find some way to evolve and get stronger. With the Moon Stone received from Caitlin, Musha evolved into its final form, {{p|Musharna}} right before it returned to Black.

'''An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター図鑑''' ''Pocket Monsters Illustrated Book'') is a Japanese Pokémon illustrated guidebook that was released in April 1996, shortly after the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the first Pokémon games. It was produced by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and published by {{wp|Famitsu}}.

The book includes illustrations of the Pokémon, as well as biological information about Pokémon and their habitats.

==Title==
The word 図鑑 ''zukan'' in this book's title refers to an illustrated reference book or a {{wp|field guide}}. It is normally localized as [[Pokédex]] in English Pokémon media, especially ポケモン図鑑 (''Pokémon Zukan'').

==Editions==
The book was reprinted numerous different times. The book's final page specifies the book's edition and release date, as well as the release date of the first edition. The differences between the different editions (if any) are unknown.

==Trivia==
* In the lore provided by this book, it is described how Pokémon study was started by a 16th century French author named "Baron Tajirin". This character is named after Pokémon's creator, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. Later in the introduction, it is said that a certain "Professor Nishinomori" was the father of Japanese Pokémon study, "Nishinomori" being a combination of the names of [[Koji Nishino]] and [[Ken Sugimori]], both of whom played a key role in the development of Pokémon Red and Green.
** Professor Nishinomori's descendant appeared in the anime in the episode ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''. The English dub named him [[Professor Westwood V]], with "Westwood" being a literal translation of "Nishinomori" (Nishi meaning west and Mori meaning forest or woods).
* The introduction states that in Baron Tajirin's time only 30 Pokémon had been discovered. This is likely a reference to how, when developing Pokémon Red and Green, Satoshi Tajiri thought the Game Boy carts would only have room for 30 Pokémon, which was described in Tajiri's biographical manga.
* The introduction states that 150 Pokémon have been discovered through the work of [[Professor Oak]] as of 1996.
* The fact that researchers have been arguing over {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s classification for six years appears to be a nod to how Pokémon Red and Green took six years to develop.
* {{p|Charmander}}'s entry describes how smokers use its tail's flame to light up their cigarette, something which was later shown off in a [https://twitter.com/HiResPokemon/status/1167095102508085250 set of playing cards] illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno and published in Corocoro Comics in late 1996.
* In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', the Pokédex mentions that {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Scyther}} can both distinguish colors, and that they are enraged by the color red, details which were only seen in this book. Prior to the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]], they were both [[Version-exclusive Pokémon#Generation I|exclusive to Red]].
* {{p|Snorlax}}'s entry contains an overt reference to Koji Nishino, as it describes how it got its Japanese name because it is capable of digesting moldy food. Indeed, "Kabi" is the Japanese word for mold, and Snorlax got its Japanese name "Kabigon" because it is a caricature of Nishino, who was said to eat pretty much anything he found, even if it was moldy.
* In {{p|Squirtle}}'s entry, its habitat is described as unknown, perhaps because [[starter Pokémon]] can't be found in the wild. As for its "long neck", it has never been seen, but was still mentioned a handful of times across the series, such as in its Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon Sword Pokédex entries, and in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]''.
* {{p|Oddish}}'s entry has [[Oddish (Pokémon)#Trivia|its Japanese alias name]] アルキメンデス ''Arukimendesu'' and states that it spreads pollen as it walks, instead of seeds as described in many of its Pokédex entries such as Red and Blue ones.
* The entry for {{p|Kangaskhan}} refers to female Kangaskhan only, implying the existence of male Kangaskhan.
* The nickname "gangster of the sea" in {{p|Tentacruel}}'s entry was only ever mentioned in the anime, by Ash's Pokedex in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''.
* As mentioned in {{p|Doduo}}'s entry, this Pokémon ''does'' have wings, though they are extremely small, much like real-life kiwi birds. They were only referenced in its ''Yellow'' and ''Let's Go'' Pokédex entries.
* The short story mentioned in {{p|Kadabra}}'s entry, "The Metamorphosis", is an overt reference to Franz Kafka's "{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}", in which a man wakes up one morning, only to realize that he's turned into a giant insect. Here, the little boy's story is presented as being fiction, whereas the in-game Pokédex entries tell it as if it really happened.
* In {{p|Moltres}}' entry, the idea of drinking phoenix blood to gain immortality isn't taken from any real-life myth, but is rather an homage to "{{wp|Phoenix (manga)|Phoenix}}", a manga series by {{wp|Osamu Tezuka}}.
* The entry for members of the Nidoran lines makes direct reference to {{p|Nidoran♀}}'s ability to produce Eggs, and {{p|Nidorina}}'s inability to do so. This is consistent to Nidorina and {{p|Nidoqueen}} being unable to breed ever since the {{pkmn|breeding}} mechanic was introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (which would be released years later). Baby Nidoran are also mentioned, and they were later seen on a [https://hirespokemon.tumblr.com/post/176993460046/my-nidobabies-ah-those-simpler-times-when-you 1997 ad for ''Pokémon Battoen''.]
* In its entry, {{p|Porygon}} is said to have been created by [[Silph Co.]] in 1995.
* According to an illustration, {{p|Golduck}} is the fastest swimmer of the Kanto Pokémon, reaching speeds above 90 kilometres per hour. Additionally, {{p|Dewgong}}'s swim speed is somewhere between 30 km/h and 60 km/h.
* During the entries for Pokémon which evolve through trade evolution, it is mentioned that researchers are not certain what could be triggering these Pokémon's evolution, implying that during the events of Pokémon Red and Green, trade evolution is a phenomenon not described or documented yet by science. The same thing also happens for Pokémon which evolve by evolutionary stone, with the given Pokémon's description only making note that its evolution appears to require "a special stone".

Ultra Ray: Undo revision 3748582 by Team Rocket Grunt (talk) Removing fan speculation.

{{protect|of continuous counter-productive edit-warring that has been going on for nearly a year}}

And I believe that not only have we managed to make these titles great entry games for those who are new to the Pokémon RPG series, but at the same time, really provide a new and fresh experience that long-time fans of the series will enjoy. So it's really my hope that all sorts of people will give these games a try. So that concludes my introduction today for Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, but before I go I would like to say just one more thing. So at GameFreak we're also hard at work on another all-new core series Pokémon RPG, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.''</ref> is the game series for [[Nintendo]] video game systems, which follow the standard model of a {{player}}'s journey through a specific [[region]] to catch and raise {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, battle {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, fight [[Villainous team|crime]], and earn recognition (usually by collecting [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s) until they are acknowledged as the [[Pokémon Champion|strongest Trainer]]. The series has only been released for {{wp|Handheld game console|handheld systems}}, though this includes the [[Nintendo Switch]], which is both a handheld and a home console.

Counting paired games as a single release, there are currently 22 core series games released in Japanese, 21 in European languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian), 15 in Korean, and 7 in Chinese (both simplified and traditional). Counting each game individually, there are currently 38 core series games released in Japanese, 37 in European languages, 28 in Korean, and 13 in Chinese.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was standard for the Western releases of the core series games to include the label ''Version'' in their title, although this was seldom used by the Japanese releases. In Japanese, Korean, and formerly in Chinese, the series is called the '''Pocket Monsters Series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシリーズ'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917190255/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/ ゲームポケットモンスターシリーズ | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト] (archive)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ GAME LIST]</ref>, Korean: '''포켓몬스터 시리즈'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200805135605/https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=game-game_list&GameGroup=P 포켓몬 공식 사이트] (archive)</ref>, Chinese: '''精靈寶可夢系列 / 精灵宝可梦系列'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIVoUw0h20w&t=9m30s Nintendo SpotLight E3 2017 (附中文字幕) - YouTube]</ref>). Core series games, except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], all contain the full name ''Pocket Monsters'' in their Japanese title, whereas [[side series]] and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'' instead. While the Japanese releases of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] use ''Pocket Monsters'' in English subtitles, they use ''Pokémon'' in {{wp|kana}} in their Japanese names.

In English, the core series has officially been referred to as the '''main series''', '''Pokémon RPG series''', or '''core series'''<ref name="English names" group="Notes"/> in official marketing materials. However, all Western releases of games use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'', regardless of whether they are core series games or spin-off games.

The Pokémon Video Game Championships are conducted using the core series games.

==Classification==
===Content model===
While there are no strict rules that make a game a core series game, and previously assumed rules are continuously broken, the games generally have a similar plot structure and {{cat|Game mechanics|mechanics}}.

The {{player}} begins the game in a small town or city of a given [[region]], having no {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of their own. Through a course of events, the player receives a [[starter Pokémon]], usually from the region's [[Pokémon Professor]]; there are almost always three starter Pokémon to choose from, with one {{t|Grass}} [[type]], one {{t|Fire}} type, and one {{t|Water}} type, and a character who will become the player's [[rival]] will typically choose (or already have) another member of the trio based on the player's choice.

After this point, the player begins to journey across the entire region (which contains several settlements like cities and towns, themselves usually connected by [[route]]), {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} any [[wild Pokémon]] they choose to, and using a [[party]] they assemble to take on other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Most regions have eight [[Gym Leader]]s that the player must defeat in order to obtain a [[Badge]] from each one, though in games set in the [[Alola]] region, the player instead participates in the [[island challenge]], and in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], they defeat five frenzied [[noble Pokémon]]. In addition to repeated interactions with their rival, the player must also stop the plans of a [[villainous team]], which often involve the manipulation of [[Legendary Pokémon]].

After all eight Gym Leaders have been defeated or the island challenge has been completed, the player can enter the [[Pokémon League]], where the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the region awaits challengers. However, a series of Trainers known as the [[Elite Four]] must usually be defeated in succession before the Champion can be fought. The Champion is often introduced prior to the player's Pokémon League challenge, and may aid the player on their adventure. After defeating the Champion, the player becomes a Champion themself, which is usually honoured by their entry into the [[Hall of Fame]]. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the only game in the core series to not feature the Pokémon League in any form.

The player's defeat of the Champion can be considered the ending of the game, as it is followed by the [[credits]] being shown. However, there is always post-game content that the player gains access to after this. Often, there is a post-game plotline and locations and facilities that could not be previously accessed become available. Since {{game|Crystal}}, there is usually at least one facility specifically dedicated to {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. The overarching goal is to obtain many species of Pokémon in order to complete the [[Pokédex]]. In the first two generations, every Pokémon species in the game has to be obtained in order to complete the Pokédex, and the player is awarded a [[diploma]] for achieving this. From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation VI]], there are two separate Pokédexes, each with their own diploma as a reward for completing them: the [[regional Pokédex]], which only contains the Pokémon native to the region the game is set in, and the [[National Pokédex]], which is unlocked in the post-game and contains every Pokémon in the game. Starting in [[Generation VII]], the games only contain a regional Pokédex, the completion of which usually rewards the player with a diploma, while the National Pokédex is confined to companion applications like [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]].

===Release model===
While releases continue to break patterns, the release of core series games tends to follow a pattern.

When a [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] begins, a pair of games is always released. These paired versions feature virtually the same storyline as each other, but the [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|available Pokémon]] differ, and some other elements are usually slightly different. This encourages [[Trade|trading]], as it is required in order to complete the [[Pokédex]].

Most generations feature an "upper version"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CldWM5ornc Nintendo UK YouTube]: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Introduction – Episode 4 – A new Pokémon adventure awaits</ref> title—often referred to by fans as a "third version"—a follow-up game or pair of games released after the first games of the generation that takes place in the same [[region]] with added features. These games typically both share and lack certain regional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were available in one or both of the original paired versions; thus, a {{player}} of an upper version must link together with the original pair to complete the regional Pokédex as well. On the contrary, upper versions typically contain certain Pokémon from different regions that are unavailable in the original pair, thus being more helpful in completing the [[National Pokédex]]. Until [[Generation VII]], only a single third version following an original pair was ever released at a time; [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] were the first of these games to be released as a pair. Unlike other generations, [[Generation V]] opted for a sequel story instead, while [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VIII]], and [[Generation IX]] entirely forwent follow-up games set in the same region, the latter two instead providing additional features to the original pair of games via paid {{wp|downloadable content}}.

Sometimes, a secondary set of paired versions that are [[remake]]s of earlier titles may also be released.

===Pokémon===
Most [[generation]]s introduce {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from previously released Pokémon. [[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are almost always included, and frequently appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[Legendary trio|trios]]. All generations also introduce at least one [[Mythical Pokémon]], which are almost always [[Event Pokémon|event-exclusive]] upon being introduced but may become available through other means in later generations.

In all generations, there are some Pokémon that cannot be encountered until after the {{player}} becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}. These are often Legendary Pokémon, such as {{p|Mewtwo}}. These Pokémon may or may not be part of the game's [[regional Pokédex]].

Before the release of a new generation, new Pokémon are often used to promote the new {{pkmn|games}} by including them in the {{pkmn|anime}} or in [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].

===Box art===
The box art for each game features one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which was introduced in that [[generation]] (or, in the case of [[remake]]s, the generation of the original games). This Pokémon is referred to by fans as a [[game mascot]], and with the exception of [[Kanto]]- and [[Hisui]]-based games, it is always the [[Legendary Pokémon]] available in that game at the climax of the storyline.

In terms of the artwork itself, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and all region releases of the initial paired games of each generation from [[Generation III]] to {{Gen|VII}} use their game mascot's original [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork for their box art, whereas all other core series games use specially made artwork.

The titles in the Japanese games typically use some shade of red and blue for either the characters or outlines of the characters. This is most likely in reference to the first internationally released core games of Pokémon Red and Blue. The DLC Expansion Passes for Pokémon Sword and Shield use green and yellow, likely in reference to both {{game|Red and Green|s}}, along with {{game|Yellow}}.

==List of core series games==
In {{pmin|South Korea}}, only {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released prior to the foundation of Nintendo of Korea and Pokémon Korea in 2006. The first core series game release after this was {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in 2008.

In {{pmin|Greater China}}, the first core series game release was [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] in 2016.

Several pieces of content in the core series Pokémon games depend on the games having a timeline, but a complete timeline cannot be drawn from the games themselves. Series producer [[Junichi Masuda]], in an interview with GameInformer on October 24, 2019, stated that [[Game Freak]] doesn't apply a timeline to the [[Pokémon world]] rigorously.<ref group="Notes">[https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/game-freak-talks-sword-and-shields-champion-wild-area-interactions-and-more] '''Masuda:''' ''It starts to get a little complicated if you pay too much attention to timelines. Like, there might be a professor that appears and it wouldn’t make sense at all if we applied that kind of timeline logic. So we try not to apply it too rigorously. Maybe one hint is that if a character is appearing with Professor Oak, they’re living in the same era. Rather than some series where it makes sense to have the timeline progress as you go and the story evolve, the approach that Pokémon takes is expanding the world, like what the regions are, and making it richer as we go. Rather than a timeline, it’s more of a physical space thing.''</ref>

On May 7, 2014, Game Freak employee [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]]'s Twitter account posted a timeline of the core series Pokémon games.<ref name="Matsumiya">[https://archive.is/D9iPz archive.is] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref> However, the tweet was subsequently deleted. Matsumiya also stated that the specific amount of time between the games is a mystery;<ref>"''Elapsed time is secret. Imagine freely!''" - Toshinobu Matsumiya. May 10, 2014. [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/465154051173130240?t=ehkMxBfeYTuJrZgEZGPaJA&s=19 Twitter]</ref> however, there are some mentions of how much time has passed in the games.

The plots of {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Red, Green|s}}, {{pkmn|Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{pkmn|Emerald Version|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]] are contemporaneous, as revealed in Matsumiya's tweet. They are then followed by the plots of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{pkmn|Crystal Version|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{pkmn|Platinum Version|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]] three years later; although Matsumiya's tweet suggests that they are also contemporaneous, the dialogue of [[Jasmine]] and [[Cynthia]] provides conflicting evidence on which games occur first.<ref name="Jasmine" group="Notes">'''Jasmine''': "I'm thinking maybe I should participate in this Contest in Sinnoh to try and be more vibrant." '''[[Erika]]''': "How did it go?" '''Jasmine''': "I couldn't bring myself to go to the Contest."</ref><ref name="Cynthia" group="Notes">'''Cynthia in HeartGold and SoulSilver''': "This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..." '''Cynthia in Platinum''': "No...! I'm so sorry I took so long. I think I finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, Dialga and Palkia appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--Giratina! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina."</ref> {{game|Black and White|s}} are set some years after this, as evidenced by [[Caitlin]] having visibly aged and Cynthia and the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] referencing previous events. [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] are set two years after Black and White, and are contemporaneous with {{g|X and Y}}, also revealed by Matsumiya's tweet. [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] take place two years after the events of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, as revealed by concept art of [[Grimsley]].<ref>Pokémon Sun and Moon Grimsley [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref> {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s placement is more vague, with little direct connection to other games, though the [[Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Type: Null}} in Sword mentions that stolen research notes led to the creation of more Type: Null,<ref group="Notes">'''Pokédex from Sword:''' ''Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the [[Galar]] region.''</ref> which could imply that they take place after the events of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, as only three Type: Null exist in those games. {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} take place after the events of Pokémon Sword and Shield, as revealed by the presence of a copy of ''[[Sonia's Book|Galar: A History]]'', which was published during the events of Sword and Shield, at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is established to be set long before all other games in the series, taking place in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Hisui|distant past]].

{{p|Porygon}}'s Pokédex entries in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon state that it was created 20 years ago,<ref name="Porygon" group="Notes">'''Pokédex from Sun:''' ''Roughly 20 years ago, it was artificially created, utilizing the latest technology of the time.'' Pokédex from Ultra Sun: ''This Pokémon was created using the cutting-edge science of 20 years ago, so many parts of it have since become obsolete.'' Pokédex from Ultra Moon: ''It was built 20 years ago by scientists who dreamed of exploring space. Their dreams have yet to come true.''</ref> and [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] states that Porygon was created in 1995 and that 150 Pokémon have been discovered as of 1996 <ref group="Notes">'''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]''': ''As of 1996, thanks to the investigative and research efforts of Prof. Oak, 150 species of Pokémon have been discovered.'' ''#118. Porygon: In 1995, Silph Co., which undertakes R&D into Pokémon and related products, successfully applied state-of-the-art technology to create this manmade Pokémon.''</ref>, meaning Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon take place 19 years after Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. From this information and the lengths of the gaps between other games in the series, it can be calculated that the gap between [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}} and Pokémon Black and White is 12 years long.

Although [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are remakes of Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} are known to have already finished their journeys years ago, and [[Mina]]'s age mentioned in her concept art would suggest that the games are set a maximum of 6 years before Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon,<ref>Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! [[Mina]] [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref><ref group="Notes">'''[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]''': "I mean, we have to move on from being [[Trial Captain|captains]] when we turn 20 anyway." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]])</ref> implying that they take place later than the original game. However, this is contradicted by [[Sabrina]] having a vision of meeting a special Trainer in three years, referencing the [[Player character|protagonist]] of Generation II, suggesting these games do not necessarily adhere to the timeline of the rest of the core series.

Although Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, they contain some references to features from the original games as having been present about a decade ago,<ref group="Notes">'''A {{tc|Bug Catcher}} in [[Rustboro City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]''': I heard that Pokémon Centers had two stories up until around 10 years ago! And they used to have a special area called a “Pokémon Cable Club”!" '''A {{tc|Battle Girl}} in [[Dewford Gym]]''': "A long time ago at Dewford Gym, it was always dark inside. We trained our minds by practicing in the dark!" '''An old man in [[Fallabor Town]]'s [[Contest Hall]]''': I just love making [[Pokéblock]]s! In the old days it used to take four of us to make a Pokéblock with this machine. A machine that was used to mix {{Berries}} in this region long ago." '''A man on [[Mt. Pyre]]''': "This used to be a desolate place. The ground had holes here and there, and I used to fall in!" '''{{ho|Mom}}''': "The [[Litleonids]], hmm? I remember going to see them with your dad 11 years ago when they last passed by!" (12 in the Japanese and Korean versions) '''[[Norman]]''': "Hmm? Is that an [[Eon Ticket]] you have there? Hm...it’s been a good 11 years since I last saw a ticket like this..."</ref> while others have not yet come about, such as the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which is under construction. Despite this, the remakes are implied to happen at the same point as the original games, as the [[Royal Unova]] and a device to visually reproduce the dreams of Pokémon having not yet been created reveals them to be before Pokémon Black and White<ref group="Notes">([[Oceanic Museum]]) '''“The Royal Unova”''' ''“A model of the sunset cruiser currently being built in the Unova region. It’s scheduled to be complete in — years.” The number is too faint to be read.''</ref><ref group="Notes">'''[[Devon Corporation|Devon]]'s scientist''': "I'm trying to develop a device that visually reproduces the dreams of Pokémon... And I’ve heard that my [[Fennel|rival]], who lives [[Unova|far away]], is doing the same research! I can't lose this race."</ref> and [[Mr. Bonding]] gaining [[O-Power]]s reveals them to be before Pokémon X and Y.<ref group="Notes">'''Mr. Bonding''': "HEY! This...this power! This power is incredible! I feel tied to these [[Old guys|old men]] with such strong bonds now! I feel like a totally different man!"</ref>

The specific years of events are not mentioned in the games themselves, but 1996, the year Pokémon Red and Green were released, is referenced in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon on Red's shirt, which features a symbol resembling the number "96". Pokémon Gold and Silver are known to occur three years later, also aligning with their release in 1999. Another reference to the passage of time in real life appears in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, in which [[Norman]] mentions having seen the [[Eon Ticket]] 11 years earlier, referencing how long had passed from the item's original distribution in 2003 to the release of the games. Similarly, the description of the [[Member Card]] mentions that the last date marked on it was 50 years ago; the date shown on the card's official artwork (1958.12.1) is exactly 50 years prior to its first distribution.

Furthermore, some of the games mention the existence of {{pkmn|multiverse|multiple alternate universes}}.

The 2002 trademarks were filed around the same time as trademarks for Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl, and are all the English names of minerals written in {{wp|katakana}} ({{wp|topaz}}, {{wp|tourmaline}}, {{wp|amethyst}}, {{wp|Moonstone (gemstone)|moonstone}}, and {{wp|white gold}}). The 2008 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Red, Green, and Blue, and are all the Japanese names of colors written with a single {{wp|kanji}}. The 2009 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Black, White, and Scarlet, and are all the English names of colors written in katakana. Of these, {{wp|vermilion}}, {{wp|crimson}}, and {{wp|Scarlet (color)|scarlet}} are shades of red.

Contrary to what is sometimes reported, the name '''WaterBlue''' was not trademarked by Nintendo, Creatures, or Game Freak. However, Game Freak's [[Junichi Masuda]] did mention "WaterBlue" in 2004 in a blog post explaining the company's choice of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|"FireRed" and "LeafGreen"}} as both the Japanese and international titles for the remakes of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/2004/08/index.html 増田部長のめざめるパワー]</ref><ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2004/08/index.html HIDDEN POWER of masuda]</ref>

And I believe that not only have we managed to make these titles great entry games for those who are new to the Pokémon RPG series, but at the same time, really provide a new and fresh experience that long-time fans of the series will enjoy. So it's really my hope that all sorts of people will give these games a try. So that concludes my introduction today for Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, but before I go I would like to say just one more thing. So at GameFreak we're also hard at work on another all-new core series Pokémon RPG, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.''</ref> is the game series for [[Nintendo]] video game systems, which follow the standard model of a {{player}}'s journey through a specific [[region]] to catch and raise {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, battle {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, fight [[Villainous team|crime]], and earn recognition (usually by collecting [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s) until they are acknowledged as the [[Pokémon Champion|strongest Trainer]]. The series has only been released for {{wp|Handheld game console|handheld systems}}, though this includes the [[Nintendo Switch]], which is both a handheld and a home console.

Counting paired games as a single release, there are currently 22 core series games released in Japanese, 21 in European languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian), 15 in Korean, and 7 in Chinese (both simplified and traditional). Counting each game individually, there are currently 38 core series games released in Japanese, 37 in European languages, 28 in Korean, and 13 in Chinese.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was standard for the Western releases of the core series games to include the label ''Version'' in their title, although this was seldom used by the Japanese releases. In Japanese, Korean, and formerly in Chinese, the series is called the '''Pocket Monsters Series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシリーズ'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917190255/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/ ゲームポケットモンスターシリーズ | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト] (archive)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ GAME LIST]</ref>, Korean: '''포켓몬스터 시리즈'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200805135605/https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=game-game_list&GameGroup=P 포켓몬 공식 사이트] (archive)</ref>, Chinese: '''精靈寶可夢系列 / 精灵宝可梦系列'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIVoUw0h20w&t=9m30s Nintendo SpotLight E3 2017 (附中文字幕) - YouTube]</ref>). Core series games, except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], all contain the full name ''Pocket Monsters'' in their Japanese title, whereas [[side series]] and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'' instead. While the Japanese releases of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] use ''Pocket Monsters'' in English subtitles, they use ''Pokémon'' in {{wp|kana}} in their Japanese names.

In English, the core series has officially been referred to as the '''main series''', '''Pokémon RPG series''', or '''core series'''<ref name="English names" group="Notes"/> in official marketing materials. However, all Western releases of games use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'', regardless of whether they are core series games or spin-off games.

The Pokémon Video Game Championships are conducted using the core series games.

==Classification==
===Content model===
While there are no strict rules that make a game a core series game, and previously assumed rules are continuously broken, the games generally have a similar plot structure and {{cat|Game mechanics|mechanics}}.

The {{player}} begins the game in a small town or city of a given [[region]], having no {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of their own. Through a course of events, the player receives a [[starter Pokémon]], usually from the region's [[Pokémon Professor]]; there are almost always three starter Pokémon to choose from, with one {{t|Grass}} [[type]], one {{t|Fire}} type, and one {{t|Water}} type, and a character who will become the player's [[rival]] will typically choose (or already have) another member of the trio based on the player's choice.

After this point, the player begins to journey across the entire region (which contains several settlements like cities and towns, themselves usually connected by [[route]]), {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} any [[wild Pokémon]] they choose to, and using a [[party]] they assemble to take on other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Most regions have eight [[Gym Leader]]s that the player must defeat in order to obtain a [[Badge]] from each one, though in games set in the [[Alola]] region, the player instead participates in the [[island challenge]], and in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], they defeat five frenzied [[noble Pokémon]]. In addition to repeated interactions with their rival, the player must also stop the plans of a [[villainous team]], which often involve the manipulation of [[Legendary Pokémon]].

After all eight Gym Leaders have been defeated or the island challenge has been completed, the player can enter the [[Pokémon League]], where the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the region awaits challengers. However, a series of Trainers known as the [[Elite Four]] must usually be defeated in succession before the Champion can be fought. The Champion is often introduced prior to the player's Pokémon League challenge, and may aid the player on their adventure. After defeating the Champion, the player becomes a Champion themself, which is usually honoured by their entry into the [[Hall of Fame]]. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the only game in the core series to not feature the Pokémon League in any form.

The player's defeat of the Champion can be considered the ending of the game, as it is followed by the [[credits]] being shown. However, there is always post-game content that the player gains access to after this. Often, there is a post-game plotline and locations and facilities that could not be previously accessed become available. Since {{game|Crystal}}, there is usually at least one facility specifically dedicated to {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. The overarching goal is to obtain many species of Pokémon in order to complete the [[Pokédex]]. In the first two generations, every Pokémon species in the game has to be obtained in order to complete the Pokédex, and the player is awarded a [[diploma]] for achieving this. From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation VI]], there are two separate Pokédexes, each with their own diploma as a reward for completing them: the [[regional Pokédex]], which only contains the Pokémon native to the region the game is set in, and the [[National Pokédex]], which is unlocked in the post-game and contains every Pokémon in the game. Starting in [[Generation VII]], the games only contain a regional Pokédex, the completion of which usually rewards the player with a diploma, while the National Pokédex is confined to companion applications like [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]].

===Release model===
While releases continue to break patterns, the release of core series games tends to follow a pattern.

When a [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] begins, a pair of games is always released. These paired versions feature virtually the same storyline as each other, but the [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|available Pokémon]] differ, and some other elements are usually slightly different. This encourages [[Trade|trading]], as it is required in order to complete the [[Pokédex]].

Most generations feature an "upper version"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CldWM5ornc Nintendo UK YouTube]: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Introduction – Episode 4 – A new Pokémon adventure awaits</ref> title—often referred to by fans as a "third version"—a follow-up game or pair of games released after the first games of the generation that takes place in the same [[region]] with added features. These games typically both share and lack certain regional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were available in one or both of the original paired versions; thus, a {{player}} of an upper version must link together with the original pair to complete the regional Pokédex as well. On the contrary, upper versions typically contain certain Pokémon from different regions that are unavailable in the original pair, thus being more helpful in completing the [[National Pokédex]]. Until [[Generation VII]], only a single third version following an original pair was ever released at a time; [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] were the first of these games to be released as a pair. Unlike other generations, [[Generation V]] opted for a sequel story instead, while [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VIII]], and [[Generation IX]] entirely forwent follow-up games set in the same region, the latter two instead providing additional features to the original pair of games via paid {{wp|downloadable content}}.

Sometimes, a secondary set of paired versions that are [[remake]]s of earlier titles may also be released.

===Pokémon===
Most [[generation]]s introduce {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from previously released Pokémon. [[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are almost always included, and frequently appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[Legendary trio|trios]]. All generations also introduce at least one [[Mythical Pokémon]], which are almost always [[Event Pokémon|event-exclusive]] upon being introduced but may become available through other means in later generations.

In all generations, there are some Pokémon that cannot be encountered until after the {{player}} becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}. These are often Legendary Pokémon, such as {{p|Mewtwo}}. These Pokémon may or may not be part of the game's [[regional Pokédex]].

Before the release of a new generation, new Pokémon are often used to promote the new {{pkmn|games}} by including them in the {{pkmn|anime}} or in [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].

===Box art===
The box art for each game features one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which was introduced in that [[generation]] (or, in the case of [[remake]]s, the generation of the original games). This Pokémon is referred to by fans as a [[game mascot]], and with the exception of [[Kanto]]- and [[Hisui]]-based games, it is always the [[Legendary Pokémon]] available in that game at the climax of the storyline.

In terms of the artwork itself, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and all region releases of the initial paired games of each generation from [[Generation III]] to {{Gen|VII}} use their game mascot's original [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork for their box art, whereas all other core series games use specially made artwork.

The titles in the Japanese games typically use some shade of red and blue for either the characters or outlines of the characters. This is most likely in reference to the first internationally released core games of Pokémon Red and Blue. The DLC Expansion Passes for Pokémon Sword and Shield use green and yellow, likely in reference to both {{game|Red and Green|s}}, along with {{game|Yellow}}.

==List of core series games==
In {{pmin|South Korea}}, only {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released prior to the foundation of Nintendo of Korea and Pokémon Korea in 2006. The first core series game release after this was {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in 2008.

In {{pmin|Greater China}}, the first core series game release was [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] in 2016.

Several pieces of content in the core series Pokémon games depend on the games having a timeline, but a complete timeline cannot be drawn from the games themselves. Series producer [[Junichi Masuda]], in an interview with GameInformer on October 24, 2019, stated that [[Game Freak]] doesn't apply a timeline to the [[Pokémon world]] rigorously.<ref group="Notes">[https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/game-freak-talks-sword-and-shields-champion-wild-area-interactions-and-more] '''Masuda:''' ''It starts to get a little complicated if you pay too much attention to timelines. Like, there might be a professor that appears and it wouldn’t make sense at all if we applied that kind of timeline logic. So we try not to apply it too rigorously. Maybe one hint is that if a character is appearing with Professor Oak, they’re living in the same era. Rather than some series where it makes sense to have the timeline progress as you go and the story evolve, the approach that Pokémon takes is expanding the world, like what the regions are, and making it richer as we go. Rather than a timeline, it’s more of a physical space thing.''</ref>

On May 7, 2014, Game Freak employee [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]]'s Twitter account posted a timeline of the core series Pokémon games.<ref name="Matsumiya">[https://archive.is/D9iPz archive.is] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref> However, the tweet was subsequently deleted. Matsumiya also stated that the specific amount of time between the games is a mystery;<ref>"''Elapsed time is secret. Imagine freely!''" - Toshinobu Matsumiya. May 10, 2014. [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/465154051173130240?t=ehkMxBfeYTuJrZgEZGPaJA&s=19 Twitter]</ref> however, there are some mentions of how much time has passed in the games.

The plots of {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Red, Green|s}}, {{pkmn|Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{pkmn|Emerald Version|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]] are contemporaneous, as revealed in Matsumiya's tweet. They are then followed by the plots of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{pkmn|Crystal Version|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{pkmn|Platinum Version|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]] three years later; although Matsumiya's tweet suggests that they are also contemporaneous, the dialogue of [[Jasmine]] and [[Cynthia]] provides conflicting evidence on which games occur first.<ref name="Jasmine" group="Notes">'''Jasmine''': "I'm thinking maybe I should participate in this Contest in Sinnoh to try and be more vibrant." '''[[Erika]]''': "How did it go?" '''Jasmine''': "I couldn't bring myself to go to the Contest."</ref><ref name="Cynthia" group="Notes">'''Cynthia in HeartGold and SoulSilver''': "This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..." '''Cynthia in Platinum''': "No...! I'm so sorry I took so long. I think I finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, Dialga and Palkia appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--Giratina! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina."</ref> {{game|Black and White|s}} are set some years after this, as evidenced by [[Caitlin]] having visibly aged and Cynthia and the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] referencing previous events. [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] are set two years after Black and White, and are contemporaneous with {{g|X and Y}}, also revealed by Matsumiya's tweet. [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] take place two years after the events of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, as revealed by concept art of [[Grimsley]].<ref>Pokémon Sun and Moon Grimsley [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref> {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s placement is more vague, with little direct connection to other games, though the [[Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Type: Null}} in Sword mentions that stolen research notes led to the creation of more Type: Null,<ref group="Notes">'''Pokédex from Sword:''' ''Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the [[Galar]] region.''</ref> which could imply that they take place after the events of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, as only three Type: Null exist in those games. {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} take place after the events of Pokémon Sword and Shield, as revealed by the presence of a copy of ''[[Sonia's Book|Galar: A History]]'', which was published during the events of Sword and Shield, at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is established to be set long before all other games in the series, taking place in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Hisui|distant past]].

{{p|Porygon}}'s Pokédex entries in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon state that it was created 20 years ago,<ref name="Porygon" group="Notes">'''Pokédex from Sun:''' ''Roughly 20 years ago, it was artificially created, utilizing the latest technology of the time.'' Pokédex from Ultra Sun: ''This Pokémon was created using the cutting-edge science of 20 years ago, so many parts of it have since become obsolete.'' Pokédex from Ultra Moon: ''It was built 20 years ago by scientists who dreamed of exploring space. Their dreams have yet to come true.''</ref> and [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] states that Porygon was created in 1995 and through the discovery time of 151st Pokémon it can be concluded that the Pokémon Red and Green games are happening in 1996<ref group="Notes">''#118. Porygon: In 1995, Silph Co., which undertakes R&D into Pokémon and related products, successfully applied state-of-the-art technology to create this manmade Pokémon.''</ref>, meaning Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon take place 19 years after Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. From this information and the lengths of the gaps between other games in the series, it can be calculated that the gap between [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}} and Pokémon Black and White is 12 years long.

Although [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are remakes of Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} are known to have already finished their journeys years ago, and [[Mina]]'s age mentioned in her concept art would suggest that the games are set a maximum of 6 years before Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon,<ref>Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! [[Mina]] [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref><ref group="Notes">'''[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]''': "I mean, we have to move on from being [[Trial Captain|captains]] when we turn 20 anyway." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]])</ref> implying that they take place later than the original game. However, this is contradicted by [[Sabrina]] having a vision of meeting a special Trainer in three years, referencing the [[Player character|protagonist]] of Generation II, suggesting these games do not necessarily adhere to the timeline of the rest of the core series.

Although Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, they contain some references to features from the original games as having been present about a decade ago,<ref group="Notes">'''A {{tc|Bug Catcher}} in [[Rustboro City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]''': I heard that Pokémon Centers had two stories up until around 10 years ago! And they used to have a special area called a “Pokémon Cable Club”!" '''A {{tc|Battle Girl}} in [[Dewford Gym]]''': "A long time ago at Dewford Gym, it was always dark inside. We trained our minds by practicing in the dark!" '''An old man in [[Fallabor Town]]'s [[Contest Hall]]''': I just love making [[Pokéblock]]s! In the old days it used to take four of us to make a Pokéblock with this machine. A machine that was used to mix {{Berries}} in this region long ago." '''A man on [[Mt. Pyre]]''': "This used to be a desolate place. The ground had holes here and there, and I used to fall in!" '''{{ho|Mom}}''': "The [[Litleonids]], hmm? I remember going to see them with your dad 11 years ago when they last passed by!" (12 in the Japanese and Korean versions) '''[[Norman]]''': "Hmm? Is that an [[Eon Ticket]] you have there? Hm...it’s been a good 11 years since I last saw a ticket like this..."</ref> while others have not yet come about, such as the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which is under construction. Despite this, the remakes are implied to happen at the same point as the original games, as the [[Royal Unova]] and a device to visually reproduce the dreams of Pokémon having not yet been created reveals them to be before Pokémon Black and White<ref group="Notes">([[Oceanic Museum]]) '''“The Royal Unova”''' ''“A model of the sunset cruiser currently being built in the Unova region. It’s scheduled to be complete in — years.” The number is too faint to be read.''</ref><ref group="Notes">'''[[Devon Corporation|Devon]]'s scientist''': "I'm trying to develop a device that visually reproduces the dreams of Pokémon... And I’ve heard that my [[Fennel|rival]], who lives [[Unova|far away]], is doing the same research! I can't lose this race."</ref> and [[Mr. Bonding]] gaining [[O-Power]]s reveals them to be before Pokémon X and Y.<ref group="Notes">'''Mr. Bonding''': "HEY! This...this power! This power is incredible! I feel tied to these [[Old guys|old men]] with such strong bonds now! I feel like a totally different man!"</ref>

The specific years of events are mentioned in [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], but not in the games themselves. The year 1996, when Pokémon Red and Green were released, is referenced in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon on Red's shirt, which features a symbol resembling the number "96". Pokémon Gold and Silver are known to occur three years later, also aligning with their release in 1999. Another reference to the passage of time in real life appears in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, in which [[Norman]] mentions having seen the [[Eon Ticket]] 11 years earlier, referencing how long had passed from the item's original distribution in 2003 to the release of the games. Similarly, the description of the [[Member Card]] mentions that the last date marked on it was 50 years ago; the date shown on the card's official artwork (1958.12.1) is exactly 50 years prior to its first distribution.

Furthermore, some of the games mention the existence of {{pkmn|multiverse|multiple alternate universes}}.

The 2002 trademarks were filed around the same time as trademarks for Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl, and are all the English names of minerals written in {{wp|katakana}} ({{wp|topaz}}, {{wp|tourmaline}}, {{wp|amethyst}}, {{wp|Moonstone (gemstone)|moonstone}}, and {{wp|white gold}}). The 2008 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Red, Green, and Blue, and are all the Japanese names of colors written with a single {{wp|kanji}}. The 2009 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Black, White, and Scarlet, and are all the English names of colors written in katakana. Of these, {{wp|vermilion}}, {{wp|crimson}}, and {{wp|Scarlet (color)|scarlet}} are shades of red.

Contrary to what is sometimes reported, the name '''WaterBlue''' was not trademarked by Nintendo, Creatures, or Game Freak. However, Game Freak's [[Junichi Masuda]] did mention "WaterBlue" in 2004 in a blog post explaining the company's choice of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|"FireRed" and "LeafGreen"}} as both the Japanese and international titles for the remakes of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/2004/08/index.html 増田部長のめざめるパワー]</ref><ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2004/08/index.html HIDDEN POWER of masuda]</ref>

'''Bianca''' (Japanese: '''ベル''' ''Bel'') is a Pokémon Trainer from the [[Unova]] region.

She is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}} and an [[Professors' aides|Assistant Pokémon Professor]] to [[Professor Juniper]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

==In the core series games==
===Role===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
Like the player, Bianca lives in the starting town of [[Nuvema Town]], and is also a childhood friend of the {{player}} (and soon-to-be [[rival]]). Though being described as 'flighty' by Professor Juniper and [[Cheren]], she also has a strong and determined side, which she demonstrates by embarking on a [[Pokémon journey]] despite [[Bianca's father|her father]]'s strong opposition. This is emphasized in [[Nimbasa City]], where her father disallows her to become a Pokémon Trainer. With the help of Nimbasa City [[Gym Leader]] [[Elesa]], Bianca convinces her father to let her follow her dream.

In keeping with the theme of truth and ideals often seen in Black and White, Bianca represents those who pursue truth—this is highlighted when [[N]] comments that Bianca had to face the truth that not everyone can become stronger. She often admits that she is not a strong Trainer compared to the player and Cheren and thinks about what she ''can'' do in life (whereas Cheren is seen to ponder about what he ''should'' do). Later in the game, she decides to research and learn more about Pokémon with Juniper. Even though she is not as strong in battles as her childhood friends, Bianca discovers that by becoming a Pokémon researcher, she too can make valuable contributions to the Pokémon world.

Like the player and Cheren, Bianca receives a [[starter Pokémon]] as a gift from Professor Juniper at the start of the game; she chooses the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's starter Pokémon. The player encounters Bianca on several occasions, where she often challenges the player to a battle.

After the player has defeated [[Alder]] twice, she will be around to battle them on weekends in Nuvema Town.

====[[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]====
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Bianca appears as Professor Juniper's assistant, giving the {{player}} his or her [[starter Pokémon]]. She, after not seeing him for two years, will also be reunited with Cheren in [[Aspertia City]].

She appears several times throughout the game, generally running errands for Professor Juniper, such as looking for {{p|Tynamo}} in [[Chargestone Cave]]. She will accompany the player as a [[Multi Battle|tag partner]] on the player's first visit to [[Reversal Mountain]] while she investigates the Pokémon {{p|Heatran}}.

She can be called on the [[Xtransceiver]] to figure out the player's current [[Friendship]] level with Pokémon in his or her party. After the player has defeated the {{pkmn|Champion}}, she can also figure out whether a Pokémon in the player's party has reached its effective cap in [[effort values]] for any stat (252), or overall (510).

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Bianca catches a Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Bianca in the anime]]
{{main|Bianca (anime)}}
Bianca appears as a recurring character in the {{pkmn|anime}}. She is a friendly [[rival]] of {{Ash}} and occasional {{ashfr|traveling companion}}. She is clumsy and hasty, but genuinely goodhearted and cares deeply for her Pokémon and the friends she makes on her journey. [[Bianca's father|Her father]] did not allow her to travel for some time, causing her to be slightly inexperienced for her age, but she doesn't take the opportunity for granted. She occasionally runs errands for [[Professor Juniper]], one of which was bringing Ash his [[Badge]] case.

She and the two boys discovered a little girl with her {{p|Minccino}} taken by Team Plasma. Bianca stayed behind with the girl while Touya went after the Grunts responsible for taking Minccino.

Later, after Touya defeated the two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s's {{p|Woobat}} and {{p|Watchog}}, Bianca reunited with him and received a call from Cheren via the [[Xtransceiver]]. He told her and Touya to come to the [[Icirrus Gym]]. The two went to Icirrus Gym and Cheren informed them about the situation in the Gym. Later, the four went to [[Dragonspiral Tower]] to stop N. While Touya went after N, Bianca and the others stayed behind to battle some Team Plasma Grunts who were preventing them from going after N.

==Trivia==
* Bianca, [[Cheren]], and [[N]] are the only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in {{2v2|Black|White}} with animated battle sprites.
* When Black and White were first released, Bianca was widely misreported to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{un|Pokémon League}}.
* Bianca is the first rival who chooses the [[starter Pokémon]] with a type disadvantage to the {{player}}'s starter Pokémon.
* Bianca is the first female rival who isn't also a [[player character]], and the first female character to always act as a rival regardless of the player character's gender.
* In Black and White, whenever the player defeats Bianca, she always leaves in the direction that the player just came from. This is the opposite of Cheren, who always heads in the direction of the player's next objective.
* In Black and White, Bianca always defeats every [[Gym]] after the player and Cheren.
* In Black and White, if the player character manages to beat Bianca in their first battle without taking any damage, Cheren will make a note on how the player somehow won without taking any damage. As the scenario is highly unlikely to ever happen, the dialog is next to impossible to actually trigger.

'''Cheren''' (Japanese: '''チェレン''' ''Cheren'') is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}}, and the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Aspertia City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Aspertia Gym]], in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. As a Gym Leader, he [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{Badge|Basic}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
===Role===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
Cheren is a childhood friend of the {{player}} who also lives in the starting town of [[Nuvema Town]]. As he holds a greater degree of knowledge about Pokémon than his friends and tends to offer the player advice during the course of their journey, his comments are often witty and intellectual. He also misunderstands [[Bianca]]'s humor often, to her dismay. While [[Professor Juniper]] describes him as being very honest, she also remarks that he can be 'a little difficult'; his impatience in particular is often seen throughout the earlier stages of his journey. He is also described as being quite judgmental by [[Alder]].

In keeping with the theme of truth and ideals often seen in Black and White, Cheren represents those who pursue ideals—more precisely, as [[N]] pointed out in [[Chargestone Cave]], the ideal of strength. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}} and he always strives to become stronger. However, when Alder asked him for the first time why he strives to become stronger, he was quite unsure of his reasons. He then starts to ponder to himself how to do so—something that Alder said he used to do with his partner Pokémon as well—and what exactly it means to be strong. Alder also remarked that Cheren is a lot like [[Marshal]].

Like the player and Bianca, Cheren receives a [[starter Pokémon]] as a gift from [[Professor Juniper]] at the start of the game. He always chooses the starter with a [[type]] advantage over the player's starter. The player will encounter and battle him several times throughout the game. After the main storyline, Cheren can be found on {{rt|5|Unova}}. After talking to him there, he moves to {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}, where he can be battled once a day.

====[[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]====
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Cheren is the new {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] in [[Aspertia City]], the player's hometown. He gives away the {{Badge|Basic}}, replacing [[Lenora]]. Trainers who defeat Cheren will receive the Basic Badge, along with {{TM|83|Work Up}}. Outside of battle, Cheren works as a teacher at the Aspertia Trainer School, with one of his pupils being {{tc|Lass}} Serena in the [[Aspertia Gym]], according to her.

Cheren appears numerous times throughout the game, such as in {{ci|Driftveil}} and [[Opelucid City]], as well as {{rt|21|Unova}}. He gives the player and [[Hugh]] advice and guidance on the current situation, such as the freezing of Opelucid City, where [[Drayden]] learns of Cheren's ascension to the position of Aspertia Gym Leader.

After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Cheren can be found at [[Pinwheel Forest]], investigating the activities of [[Team Plasma]]. He will accompany the player as a [[Multi Battle]] partner. After encountering [[Gorm]], Cheren will thank the player with an [[Upgrade|Up-Grade]] and then return to the [[Aspertia Gym]].

He can be called on the [[Xtransceiver]] to give the player advice on types and {{Abilities}}.

===Main series===
[[File:Cheren anime.png|thumb|250px|Cheren in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Cheren was mentioned by [[Professor Juniper]] in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', where she explained that he was a new [[Gym Leader]] located at [[Aspertia City]]. Cheren physically appeared in ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met him at the [[Aspertia Gym]], where they learned that he was also a teacher at the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], which was located at the [[Gym]]. When {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} accidentally caused loud noises on the School's PA, making all the School's Pokémon run wildly around, Ash, Iris, and Cilan helped Cheren to gather them.

Finally, only a {{p|Shinx}} was left. When it was too scared to come closer, Cheren went to it, and, ignoring its {{t|Electric}} shocks, managed to calm it down. Afterwards, Cheren agreed to have an unofficial {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash. Ash used his {{AP|Oshawott}}, while Cheren used his {{p|Herdier}}. Cheren eventually won the battle, with Herdier taking Oshawott out with a [[super effective]] {{m|Thunder Fang}}.

Cheren made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

Cheren appeared in the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer]]. He first had a Gym battle against {{ga|Rosa}}, using his {{p|Stoutland}} against her {{p|Serperior}}. He had a little difficulty after Stoutland was hit by Serperior's {{m|Slam}}. However, he managed to have Stoutland overcome {{m|Frenzy Plant}} using {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Rosa then commented that she was just getting started in the battle, and Cheren agreed with her. Later on, he was seen with {{ga|Nate}} and [[Hugh]] on the [[Plasma Frigate]]. As {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s surrounded the three of them, Cheren commented on how bothersome they were and prepared to battle them.

===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
[[File:Cheren PBW.png|thumb|150px|Cheren in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
Cheren is friends with both [[Monta]] and Bianca. He is very knowledgeable about Pokémon, which Monta dislikes. Anywhere Monta slips up he won't hesitate to tell him the right way.

He first appears with Bianca when Monta is attempting to capture a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Patrat}} and {{p|Watchog}}. Monta is just about to capture the Watchog which Cheren tells him that it is not the right way. He explains to Monta to remember that when two Pokémon come out at the same time, one should knock out the one they don't want before they can get the one that they do want. Cheren suddenly decides for all of them to take their Pokémon journey together, which a man on his bike overhears. He starts insulting them making him and Monta angry.

He uses Tepig in a Double Battle with Monta's {{p|Snivy}} against a Biker King's {{p|Braviary}}, it looks like they were about to lose, but they uses a combination attack which Cheren thinks of, fainting Braviary. Cheren battles Monta in ''[[PBW2|The Key to Triple Battles]]'' using his Tepig, {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Basculin}} against Monta's {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and {{p|Roggenrola}}. He starts off with a lecture about [[Triple Battle]]s. With his great knowledge of triple battles he gives Monta a hard time, but is eventually defeated. He has traveled with Monta and Bianca from time to time.

Cheren battles Monta in ''[[PBW8|The Birth of the Best Pokémon Trainer!]]'' in a Single and Triple Battle. Even though the Single Battle was easier for Monta, Cheren gave him a hard time in the Triple Battle.

It goes in with a Fire Pledge with {{m|Grass Pledge}} creating the combination needed to defeat Braviary.

It battles Monta in ''[[PBW2|The Key to Triple Battles]]'' with {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Basculin}} against Monta's {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Roggenrola}}. It starts off with an Ember on Snivy, before taking a hit for Basculin by switching places with it, not hurting it much. But seconds later, Panpour uses {{m|Surf}} fainting it.

Tepig reappeared as an {{p|Emboar}} where it fought with Monta's {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Victini}} and {{p|Zekrom}} in the Single and Triple Battle.

===Pocket Monsters B2 W2 ~ A New Legend ~===
Cheren was going after [[Arata]] when he was trying to protect a {{p|Keldeo}} in a forest located in [[Aspertia City]]. Due to Arata's cowardly personality, he sent out his {{p|Samurott}} to reveal where he was hiding. After Arata explained what he was doing with Keldeo, two Team Plasma Grunts arrived with their ambition on catching Keldeo. When Cheren got knocked out from the grunts's {{p|Eelektross}}, he was saved by his friend, [[Hiro]], who disbanded the team not too long ago. As Hiro arrived, Cheren wondered why he didn't keep in touch.

===Pocket Monsters BW: Meetings with the Legends===
Cheren appeared as a supporting character and a friend of {{OBP|Touya|MWL}} in [[Pocket Monsters BW: Meetings with the Legends]]. He was first seen going up to Touya after Touya had a discussion with [[N]] about their dreams. Cheren, Touya, and [[Bianca]] discussed about the speech [[Team Plasma]] delivered. When two Team Plasma grunts took a little girl's {{p|Minccino}}, Cheren decided to go after Ghetsis and the rest of Team Plasma to see what they're going to do next.

He headed to [[Icirrus City]] where he gave Touya and Bianca a call on the [[Xtransceiver]] to come over to the [[Icirrus Gym|Gym]]. He explained to the two that Team Plasma were about to make [[Brycen]] release his Pokémon. While Team Plasma began their assault in [[Dragonspiral Tower]], Cheren, Bianca, and Brycen stayed behind to take the grunts on.

==Trivia==
* Cheren's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|真理を　求める　者|The Person who Seeks Truth}}.
* Cheren, [[Bianca]], and [[N]] are the only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in {{2v2|Black|White}} with animated battle sprites.
* In Black and White, whenever the player defeats Cheren, he always leaves in the direction of the player's next objective. This is the opposite of Bianca, who always heads in the direction that the player just came from.
* Cheren is the only Gym Leader who gives out a [[Badge]] previously given out by another Gym Leader in a different [[Gym]].
* Cheren is the only {{type|Normal}} Gym Leader in the {{pkmn|anime}} that {{Ash}} did not have a [[rematch]] with after losing a {{pkmn|battle}}.
* In Black and White, if the player character manages to beat Bianca in their first battle without taking any damage, Cheren will make a note on how the player somehow won without taking any damage. As the scenario is highly unlikely to ever happen, the dialog is next to impossible to actually trigger.

'''Wally''' (Japanese: '''ミツル''' ''Mitsuru'') is one of the two [[rival]] characters in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], the other being {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}. He is the first rival not to be the {{player}}'s first {{pkmn|battle}}, and the first rival not to receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from the selection of starters presented to the player. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Wally in his later battles possesses a {{p|Gallade}} that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] with his handmade wooden Mega Pendant, which holds his [[Key Stone]]. The Mega Pendant is shaped like a Gallade's head.

Wally is a young, sickly boy who lives in [[Petalburg City]]. Despite his illness, his dream is to train {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In his room, in Petalburg City, there are a lot of books about how to raise and battle with Pokémon covered in sticky notes, a notebook which has been written and erased again and again and a terrestrial globe with pins in places in the [[Kalos]] and [[Unova]] regions, suggesting that he has been wanting to go outside and catch Pokémon for a long time.

==In the core series games==
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, and Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], Wally is a sickly young boy who first appears in [[Petalburg City]], asking [[Norman]], the [[Petalburg Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]], to help him catch a Pokémon before he moves to [[Verdanturf Town]] to live with his aunt and uncle. This is because Verdanturf is in a remarkably clean area and might improve Wally's sickness. Norman asks his child, the {{player}}, to assist Wally and loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. Using this Pokémon, Wally is able to capture a {{p|Ralts}}. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after catching his Ralts, Wally will give the player a new app for their [[PokéNav]] as thanks, the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}}.

Wally shows up again later in [[Mauville City]], pleading with his uncle to let him challenge [[Wattson]]. He battles the player to prove his strength but loses. He decides his uncle is right but says he will train to become stronger.

Wally eventually runs away from home and challenges the player at {{ho|Victory Road}}, seemingly recovered from his illness. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he remains at Victory Road and can be [[rematch]]ed after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].

In the [[remake]]s of Ruby and Sapphire, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Wally's Ralts eventually evolves into a {{p|Gallade}} instead of a {{p|Gardevoir}}. At some point in the game, Wally also obtains a [[Key Stone]] and {{DL|Key Stone|Appearance|Mega Pendant}}, allowing his Gallade to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. He is also revealed to have obtained all eight badges before the player meets Wally at Victory Road as he becomes a Certified Trainer at every Gym. The player can follow Wally's progress on the Hoenn News Network and see his name on the Gym statues starting from the time [[Mt. Chimney]] is explored.

In the [[Delta Episode]], Wally is being harassed by Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} who attempts to steal his [[Key Stone]]. Wally thanks the player when the player defeats Courtney/Matt, but reveals that his Key Stone had already disappeared before the Admin had arrived. At the end of the Delta Episode, Wally leaves his home again, with his Key Stone having been returned by the player.

Later on, Wally arrives at the [[Battle Resort]] with an S. S. Ticket from Norman and grows stronger through his time at the Battle Resort. Wally re-battles the player at the [[Battle Maison]] but can only be battled again once the player has beaten one of the {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s in a Super Battle. Wally can also be selected as a partner for the [[Multi Battle]] challenge at the Battle Maison. Through his time at the Battle Maison, Wally is revealed to have met a lot of people who have helped him grow as a Trainer. He is revealed to be a strategic, enthusiastic Trainer who studies various move combinations and the allocation of base stats, who is willing to change his team make-up and Pokémon's moves to become stronger.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Wally appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent the player can battle and subsequently recruit.

==Trivia==
* His illness is never explained, but his symptoms appear to clear up in clean air, suggesting that it is either {{wp|acute bronchitis}} or {{wp|asthma}}.
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Wally challenges the {{player}} near the exit of {{ho|Victory Road}}, whereas in {{v2|Emerald}}, he is met after crossing the first bridge. Despite this, the [[rematch]]es with him occur near the end of Victory Road, regardless of the game.
* In the [[Generation III]] games, it is possible for the capture tutorial to end with Ralts [[fainting]]. This can only happen if Zigzagoon is generated with 11 Attack, and the wild Ralts has a [[Nature]] that lowers Defense, an {{IV}} of 3 or less in HP, and 9 or less in Defense. With all this, Zigzagoon can do a maximum of 10 damage with its first {{m|Tackle}}, and after {{m|Growl}} is used on it, 7 with its second. This makes for a total of 17 damage, just enough to knock out Ralts. However, the game continues on as if it had been caught. Accounting for the odds of suitable stats, two maximum damage rolls, no Tackle misses and no potential speed tie losses, the probability of Ralts being knocked out is about 1 in 200,322.
** In the Generation III games, it is also possible for Wally to catch a {{Shiny}} Ralts in the tutorial. However, it will not stay Shiny in subsequent battles.
{{YouTubeVid|xERTYBk3Txk|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|tcg grass}}
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after the player defeats [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]], Wally is listed as a certified Trainer at all [[Hoenn]] Pokémon [[Gym]]s.
** As the player visits [[Lavaridge Town]] after these events, all Gyms from that point onward (including the [[Petalburg Gym]]) list Wally's name first, while Wally's name appears after the player's name at the first three Gyms.
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when Wally is battled on Victory Road, he gets his own battle theme, unlike in the original games. This later becomes his encounter theme when he is rematched at the [[Battle Resort]].
* Wally shares his Italian name with [[Grant]]: they both go by the name of Lino.
* Prior to {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, Wally shared his Chinese name with {{ga|Dawn}}.
* Before the catching tutorial, Wally is given a {{i|Poké Ball}} by [[Norman]], as he appears to not have any. In Generation III, this is true, but in [[Generation VI]], Wally is shown to have 15 Poké Balls in his [[Bag]] during the tutorial.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], his name depends on the current game: '''Red'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Green'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''Blue'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Yellow'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''', '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|ブルー}}''', or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the player's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Ash'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. He was also named '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''') in early official media. Red's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|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 {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|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 [[Parcel|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 Leader]]s 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 Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; 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 [[Team Rocket Hideout|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 {{type|Ghost}} 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 [[Gym Leader|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 {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|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 {{pkmn|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, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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 {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto starter [[Mega Stone]]s.

Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.

===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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|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 {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, including Pokémon that he's never used in any of his previous NPC appearances.

==In the side series games==
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be 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.

During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.

====Pokémon====
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{ga|Red's Pikachu|his Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
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.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|Red (Masters)}}
Red appears in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], forming a [[sync pair]] with his {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (game)}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].]]
====Pokémon Trainer====
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}

Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.

Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.

====Other references====
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Style (GO)}}
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} were released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].

==Quotes==
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}

==Optional names==
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 24 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

==In the TFG==
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.

* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.

The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====Main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
Red's [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], 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 {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[starter Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

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

====Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure====
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]
Red debuted as a silhouette in [[JBA5]]. He then physically debuted in [[JBA6]]. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} after [[Jō]]'s battle with the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]]. Jō later encountered Red when he reached the top of [[Mt. Silver]], ready to battle him.

==Trivia==
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|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]].
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|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 {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** 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 [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.
* 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 {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref>
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Sygna Suit]] {{mas|Red}} is heard speaking several times.
::::In his [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story, he speaks a single line:
:::::''"… … … … … … Words are unnecessary!"''
::::In Chapter 30, he speaks two lines:
:::::''"…I accept your challenge!"''
:::::''"Congratulations! You won!"''
::::Also in Chapter 30, Red's thoughts are heard once as well:
:::::''"{{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Leaf}}… Let's win this—together!"''
::::He speaks a single line in the {{DL|Special event|Blazing Battle with Ash}} [[special event]]:
:::::''"…I'll be waiting."''
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of eight so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|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.
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The player is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and {{ga|Blue|his rival}} is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The player is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and his rival is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]].
** The player is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and his rival is once again named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The player is named '''Yellow''' (Japanese: '''{{j|イエロー}}''' ''Yellow''), and his rival is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}:<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>
*** 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 {{wp|Chief executive officer|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 {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|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 then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before deciding on the name "Red", named after one of the two original paired game versions of [[Generation I]].
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the [[Nintendo Space World]] 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen at the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named "Osamu" (Japanese: オサム).<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスターファイアレッド・リーフグリーン]</ref>
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), Red and {{ga|Blue}} are named "Ash" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.

The series has only been released for {{wp|Handheld game console|handheld systems}}, though this includes the [[Nintendo Switch]], which is both a handheld and a home console.

Counting paired games as a single release, there are currently 22 core series games released in Japanese, 21 in European languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian), 15 in Korean, and 7 in Chinese (both simplified and traditional). Counting each game individually, there are currently 38 core series games released in Japanese, 37 in European languages, 28 in Korean, and 13 in Chinese.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was standard for the Western releases of the core series games to include the label ''Version'' in their title, although this was seldom used by the Japanese releases. In Japanese, Korean, and formerly in Chinese, the series is called the '''Pocket Monsters Series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシリーズ'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917190255/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/ ゲームポケットモンスターシリーズ | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト] (archive)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ GAME LIST]</ref>, Korean: '''포켓몬스터 시리즈'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200805135605/https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=game-game_list&GameGroup=P 포켓몬 공식 사이트] (archive)</ref>, Chinese: '''精靈寶可夢系列 / 精灵宝可梦系列'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIVoUw0h20w&t=9m30s Nintendo SpotLight E3 2017 (附中文字幕) - YouTube]</ref>). Core series games, except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], all contain the full name ''Pocket Monsters'' in their Japanese title, whereas [[side series]] and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'' instead. While the Japanese releases of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] use ''Pocket Monsters'' in English subtitles, they use ''Pokémon'' in {{wp|kana}} in their Japanese names.

In English, the core series has officially been referred to as the '''main series''', '''Pokémon RPG series''', or '''core series'''<ref name="English names" group="Notes"/> in official marketing materials. However, all Western releases of games use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'', regardless of whether they are core series games or spin-off games.

The Pokémon Video Game Championships are conducted using the core series games.

==Classification==
===Content model===
While there are no strict rules that make a game a core series game, and previously assumed rules are continuously broken, the games generally have a similar plot structure and {{cat|Game mechanics|mechanics}}.

The {{player}} begins the game in a small town or city of a given [[region]], having no {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of their own. Through a course of events, the player receives a [[starter Pokémon]], usually from the region's [[Pokémon Professor]]; there are almost always three starter Pokémon to choose from, with one {{t|Grass}} [[type]], one {{t|Fire}} type, and one {{t|Water}} type, and a character who will become the player's [[rival]] will typically choose (or already have) another member of the trio based on the player's choice.

After this point, the player begins to journey across the entire region (which contains several settlements like cities and towns, themselves usually connected by [[route]]), {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} any [[wild Pokémon]] they choose to, and using a [[party]] they assemble to take on other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Most regions have eight [[Gym Leader]]s that the player must defeat in order to obtain a [[Badge]] from each one, though in games set in the [[Alola]] region, the player instead participates in the [[island challenge]], and in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], they defeat five frenzied [[noble Pokémon]]. In addition to repeated interactions with their rival, the player must also stop the plans of a [[villainous team]], which often involve the manipulation of [[Legendary Pokémon]].

After all eight Gym Leaders have been defeated or the island challenge has been completed, the player can enter the [[Pokémon League]], where the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the region awaits challengers. However, a series of Trainers known as the [[Elite Four]] must usually be defeated in succession before the Champion can be fought. The Champion is often introduced prior to the player's Pokémon League challenge, and may aid the player on their adventure. After defeating the Champion, the player becomes a Champion themself, which is usually honoured by their entry into the [[Hall of Fame]]. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the only game in the core series to not feature the Pokémon League in any form.

The player's defeat of the Champion can be considered the ending of the game, as it is followed by the [[credits]] being shown. However, there is always post-game content that the player gains access to after this. Often, there is a post-game plotline and locations and facilities that could not be previously accessed become available. Since {{game|Crystal}}, there is usually at least one facility specifically dedicated to {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. The overarching goal is to obtain many species of Pokémon in order to complete the [[Pokédex]]. In the first two generations, every Pokémon species in the game has to be obtained in order to complete the Pokédex, and the player is awarded a [[diploma]] for achieving this. From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation VI]], there are two separate Pokédexes, each with their own diploma as a reward for completing them: the [[regional Pokédex]], which only contains the Pokémon native to the region the game is set in, and the [[National Pokédex]], which is unlocked in the post-game and contains every Pokémon in the game. Starting in [[Generation VII]], the games only contain a regional Pokédex, the completion of which usually rewards the player with a diploma, while the National Pokédex is confined to companion applications like [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]].

===Release model===
While releases continue to break patterns, the release of core series games tends to follow a pattern.

When a [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] begins, a pair of games is always released. These paired versions feature virtually the same storyline as each other, but the [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|available Pokémon]] differ, and some other elements are usually slightly different. This encourages [[Trade|trading]], as it is required in order to complete the [[Pokédex]].

Most generations feature an "upper version"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CldWM5ornc Nintendo UK YouTube]: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Introduction – Episode 4 – A new Pokémon adventure awaits</ref> title—often referred to by fans as a "third version"—a follow-up game or pair of games released after the first games of the generation that takes place in the same [[region]] with added features. These games typically both share and lack certain regional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were available in one or both of the original paired versions; thus, a {{player}} of an upper version must link together with the original pair to complete the regional Pokédex as well. On the contrary, upper versions typically contain certain Pokémon from different regions that are unavailable in the original pair, thus being more helpful in completing the [[National Pokédex]]. Until [[Generation VII]], only a single third version following an original pair was ever released at a time; [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] were the first of these games to be released as a pair. Unlike other generations, [[Generation V]] opted for a sequel story instead, while [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VIII]], and [[Generation IX]] entirely forwent follow-up games set in the same region, the latter two instead providing additional features to the original pair of games via paid {{wp|downloadable content}}.

Sometimes, a secondary set of paired versions that are [[remake]]s of earlier titles may also be released.

===Pokémon===
Most [[generation]]s introduce {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from previously released Pokémon. [[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are almost always included, and frequently appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[Legendary trio|trios]]. All generations also introduce at least one [[Mythical Pokémon]], which are almost always [[Event Pokémon|event-exclusive]] upon being introduced but may become available through other means in later generations.

In all generations, there are some Pokémon that cannot be encountered until after the {{player}} becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}. These are often Legendary Pokémon, such as {{p|Mewtwo}}. These Pokémon may or may not be part of the game's [[regional Pokédex]].

Before the release of a new generation, new Pokémon are often used to promote the new {{pkmn|games}} by including them in the {{pkmn|anime}} or in [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].

===Box art===
The box art for each game features one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which was introduced in that [[generation]] (or, in the case of [[remake]]s, the generation of the original games). This Pokémon is referred to by fans as a [[game mascot]], and with the exception of [[Kanto]]- and [[Hisui]]-based games, it is always the [[Legendary Pokémon]] available in that game at the climax of the storyline.

In terms of the artwork itself, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and all region releases of the initial paired games of each generation from [[Generation III]] to {{Gen|VII}} use their game mascot's original [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork for their box art, whereas all other core series games use specially made artwork.

The titles in the Japanese games typically use some shade of red and blue for either the characters or outlines of the characters. This is most likely in reference to the first internationally released core games of Pokémon Red and Blue. The DLC Expansion Passes for Pokémon Sword and Shield use green and yellow, likely in reference to both {{game|Red and Green|s}}, along with {{game|Yellow}}.

==List of core series games==
In {{pmin|South Korea}}, only {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released prior to the foundation of Nintendo of Korea and Pokémon Korea in 2006. The first core series game release after this was {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in 2008.

In {{pmin|Greater China}}, the first core series game release was [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] in 2016.

Several pieces of content in the core series Pokémon games depend on the games having a timeline, but a complete timeline cannot be drawn from the games themselves. Series producer [[Junichi Masuda]], in an interview with GameInformer on October 24, 2019, stated that [[Game Freak]] doesn't apply a timeline to the [[Pokémon world]] rigorously.<ref group="Notes">[https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/game-freak-talks-sword-and-shields-champion-wild-area-interactions-and-more] '''Masuda:''' ''It starts to get a little complicated if you pay too much attention to timelines. Like, there might be a professor that appears and it wouldn’t make sense at all if we applied that kind of timeline logic. So we try not to apply it too rigorously. Maybe one hint is that if a character is appearing with Professor Oak, they’re living in the same era. Rather than some series where it makes sense to have the timeline progress as you go and the story evolve, the approach that Pokémon takes is expanding the world, like what the regions are, and making it richer as we go. Rather than a timeline, it’s more of a physical space thing.''</ref>

On May 7, 2014, Game Freak employee [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]]'s Twitter account posted a timeline of the core series Pokémon games.<ref name="Matsumiya">[https://archive.is/D9iPz archive.is] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref> However, the tweet was subsequently deleted. Matsumiya also stated that the specific amount of time between the games is a mystery;<ref>"''Elapsed time is secret. Imagine freely!''" - Toshinobu Matsumiya. May 10, 2014. [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/465154051173130240?t=ehkMxBfeYTuJrZgEZGPaJA&s=19 Twitter]</ref> however, there are some mentions of how much time has passed in the games.

The plots of {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Red, Green|s}}, {{pkmn|Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{pkmn|Emerald Version|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]] are contemporaneous, as revealed in Matsumiya's tweet. They are then followed by the plots of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{pkmn|Crystal Version|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{pkmn|Platinum Version|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]] three years later; although Matsumiya's tweet suggests that they are also contemporaneous, the dialogue of [[Jasmine]] and [[Cynthia]] provides conflicting evidence on which games occur first.<ref name="Jasmine" group="Notes">'''Jasmine''': "I'm thinking maybe I should participate in this Contest in Sinnoh to try and be more vibrant." '''[[Erika]]''': "How did it go?" '''Jasmine''': "I couldn't bring myself to go to the Contest."</ref><ref name="Cynthia" group="Notes">'''Cynthia in HeartGold and SoulSilver''': "This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..." '''Cynthia in Platinum''': "No...! I'm so sorry I took so long. I think I finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, Dialga and Palkia appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--Giratina! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina."</ref> {{game|Black and White|s}} are set some years after this, as evidenced by [[Caitlin]] having visibly aged and Cynthia and the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] referencing previous events. [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] are set two years after Black and White, and are contemporaneous with {{g|X and Y}}, also revealed by Matsumiya's tweet. [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] take place two years after the events of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, as revealed by concept art of [[Grimsley]].<ref>Pokémon Sun and Moon Grimsley [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref> {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s placement is more vague, with little direct connection to other games, though the [[Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Type: Null}} in Sword mentions that stolen research notes led to the creation of more Type: Null,<ref group="Notes">'''Pokédex from Sword:''' ''Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the [[Galar]] region.''</ref> which could imply that they take place after the events of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, as only three Type: Null exist in those games. {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} take place after the events of Pokémon Sword and Shield, as revealed by the presence of a copy of ''[[Sonia's Book|Galar: A History]]'', which was published during the events of Sword and Shield, at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is established to be set long before all other games in the series, taking place in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Hisui|distant past]].

{{p|Porygon}}'s Pokédex entries in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon state that it was created 20 years ago,<ref name="Porygon" group="Notes">'''Pokédex from Sun:''' ''Roughly 20 years ago, it was artificially created, utilizing the latest technology of the time.'' Pokédex from Ultra Sun: ''This Pokémon was created using the cutting-edge science of 20 years ago, so many parts of it have since become obsolete.'' Pokédex from Ultra Moon: ''It was built 20 years ago by scientists who dreamed of exploring space. Their dreams have yet to come true.''</ref> and [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] states that Porygon was created in 1995 and that 150 Pokémon have been discovered as of 1996 <ref group="Notes">'''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]''': ''As of 1996, thanks to the investigative and research efforts of Prof. Oak, 150 species of Pokémon have been discovered.'' ''#118. Porygon: In 1995, Silph Co., which undertakes R&D into Pokémon and related products, successfully applied state-of-the-art technology to create this manmade Pokémon.''</ref>, meaning Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon take place 19 years after Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. From this information and the lengths of the gaps between other games in the series, it can be calculated that the gap between [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}} and Pokémon Black and White is 12 years long.

Although [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are remakes of Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} are known to have already finished their journeys years ago, and [[Mina]]'s age mentioned in her concept art would suggest that the games are set a maximum of 6 years before Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon,<ref>Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! [[Mina]] [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref><ref group="Notes">'''[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]''': "I mean, we have to move on from being [[Trial Captain|captains]] when we turn 20 anyway." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]])</ref> implying that they take place later than the original game. However, this is contradicted by [[Sabrina]] having a vision of meeting a special Trainer in three years, referencing the [[Player character|protagonist]] of Generation II, suggesting these games do not necessarily adhere to the timeline of the rest of the core series.

Although Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, they contain some references to features from the original games as having been present about a decade ago,<ref group="Notes">'''A {{tc|Bug Catcher}} in [[Rustboro City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]''': I heard that Pokémon Centers had two stories up until around 10 years ago! And they used to have a special area called a “Pokémon Cable Club”!" '''A {{tc|Battle Girl}} in [[Dewford Gym]]''': "A long time ago at Dewford Gym, it was always dark inside. We trained our minds by practicing in the dark!" '''An old man in [[Fallabor Town]]'s [[Contest Hall]]''': I just love making [[Pokéblock]]s!

Hm...it’s been a good 11 years since I last saw a ticket like this..."</ref> while others have not yet come about, such as the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which is under construction. Despite this, the remakes are implied to happen at the same point as the original games, as the [[Royal Unova]] and a device to visually reproduce the dreams of Pokémon having not yet been created reveals them to be before Pokémon Black and White<ref group="Notes">([[Oceanic Museum]]) '''“The Royal Unova”''' ''“A model of the sunset cruiser currently being built in the Unova region.

This power is incredible! I feel tied to these [[Old guys|old men]] with such strong bonds now! I feel like a totally different man!"</ref>

The specific years of events are not mentioned in the games themselves, but 1996, the year Pokémon Red and Green were released, is referenced in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon on Red's shirt, which features a symbol resembling the number "96". Pokémon Gold and Silver are known to occur three years later, also aligning with their release in 1999. Another reference to the passage of time in real life appears in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, in which [[Norman]] mentions having seen the [[Eon Ticket]] 11 years earlier, referencing how long had passed from the item's original distribution in 2003 to the release of the games. Similarly, the description of the [[Member Card]] mentions that the last date marked on it was 50 years ago; the date shown on the card's official artwork (1958.12.1) is exactly 50 years prior to its first distribution.

Furthermore, some of the games mention the existence of {{pkmn|multiverse|multiple alternate universes}}.

The series has only been released for {{wp|Handheld game console|handheld systems}}, though this includes the [[Nintendo Switch]], which is both a handheld and a home console.

Counting paired games as a single release, there are currently 22 core series games released in Japanese, 21 in European languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian), 15 in Korean, and 7 in Chinese (both simplified and traditional). Counting each game individually, there are currently 38 core series games released in Japanese, 37 in European languages, 28 in Korean, and 13 in Chinese.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was standard for the Western releases of the core series games to include the label ''Version'' in their title, although this was seldom used by the Japanese releases. In Japanese, Korean, and formerly in Chinese, the series is called the '''Pocket Monsters Series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシリーズ'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917190255/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/ ゲームポケットモンスターシリーズ | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト] (archive)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ GAME LIST]</ref>, Korean: '''포켓몬스터 시리즈'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200805135605/https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=game-game_list&GameGroup=P 포켓몬 공식 사이트] (archive)</ref>, Chinese: '''精靈寶可夢系列 / 精灵宝可梦系列'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIVoUw0h20w&t=9m30s Nintendo SpotLight E3 2017 (附中文字幕) - YouTube]</ref>). Core series games, except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], all contain the full name ''Pocket Monsters'' in their Japanese title, whereas [[side series]] and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'' instead. While the Japanese releases of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] use ''Pocket Monsters'' in English subtitles, they use ''Pokémon'' in {{wp|kana}} in their Japanese names.

In English, the core series has officially been referred to as the '''main series''', '''Pokémon RPG series''', or '''core series'''<ref name="English names" group="Notes"/> in official marketing materials. However, all Western releases of games use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'', regardless of whether they are core series games or spin-off games.

The Pokémon Video Game Championships are conducted using the core series games.

==Classification==
===Content model===
While there are no strict rules that make a game a core series game, and previously assumed rules are continuously broken, the games generally have a similar plot structure and {{cat|Game mechanics|mechanics}}.

The {{player}} begins the game in a small town or city of a given [[region]], having no {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of their own. Through a course of events, the player receives a [[starter Pokémon]], usually from the region's [[Pokémon Professor]]; there are almost always three starter Pokémon to choose from, with one {{t|Grass}} [[type]], one {{t|Fire}} type, and one {{t|Water}} type, and a character who will become the player's [[rival]] will typically choose (or already have) another member of the trio based on the player's choice.

After this point, the player begins to journey across the entire region (which contains several settlements like cities and towns, themselves usually connected by [[route]]), {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} any [[wild Pokémon]] they choose to, and using a [[party]] they assemble to take on other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Most regions have eight [[Gym Leader]]s that the player must defeat in order to obtain a [[Badge]] from each one, though in games set in the [[Alola]] region, the player instead participates in the [[island challenge]], and in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], they defeat five frenzied [[noble Pokémon]]. In addition to repeated interactions with their rival, the player must also stop the plans of a [[villainous team]], which often involve the manipulation of [[Legendary Pokémon]].

After all eight Gym Leaders have been defeated or the island challenge has been completed, the player can enter the [[Pokémon League]], where the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the region awaits challengers. However, a series of Trainers known as the [[Elite Four]] must usually be defeated in succession before the Champion can be fought. The Champion is often introduced prior to the player's Pokémon League challenge, and may aid the player on their adventure. After defeating the Champion, the player becomes a Champion themself, which is usually honoured by their entry into the [[Hall of Fame]]. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the only game in the core series to not feature the Pokémon League in any form.

The player's defeat of the Champion can be considered the ending of the game, as it is followed by the [[credits]] being shown. However, there is always post-game content that the player gains access to after this. Often, there is a post-game plotline and locations and facilities that could not be previously accessed become available. Since {{game|Crystal}}, there is usually at least one facility specifically dedicated to {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. The overarching goal is to obtain many species of Pokémon in order to complete the [[Pokédex]]. In the first two generations, every Pokémon species in the game has to be obtained in order to complete the Pokédex, and the player is awarded a [[diploma]] for achieving this. From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation VI]], there are two separate Pokédexes, each with their own diploma as a reward for completing them: the [[regional Pokédex]], which only contains the Pokémon native to the region the game is set in, and the [[National Pokédex]], which is unlocked in the post-game and contains every Pokémon in the game. Starting in [[Generation VII]], the games only contain a regional Pokédex, the completion of which usually rewards the player with a diploma, while the National Pokédex is confined to companion applications like [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]].

===Release model===
While releases continue to break patterns, the release of core series games tends to follow a pattern.

When a [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] begins, a pair of games is always released. These paired versions feature virtually the same storyline as each other, but the [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|available Pokémon]] differ, and some other elements are usually slightly different. This encourages [[Trade|trading]], as it is required in order to complete the [[Pokédex]].

Most generations feature an "upper version"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CldWM5ornc Nintendo UK YouTube]: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Introduction – Episode 4 – A new Pokémon adventure awaits</ref> title—often referred to by fans as a "third version"—a follow-up game or pair of games released after the first games of the generation that takes place in the same [[region]] with added features. These games typically both share and lack certain regional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were available in one or both of the original paired versions; thus, a {{player}} of an upper version must link together with the original pair to complete the regional Pokédex as well. On the contrary, upper versions typically contain certain Pokémon from different regions that are unavailable in the original pair, thus being more helpful in completing the [[National Pokédex]]. Until [[Generation VII]], only a single third version following an original pair was ever released at a time; [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] were the first of these games to be released as a pair. Unlike other generations, [[Generation V]] opted for a sequel story instead, while [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VIII]], and [[Generation IX]] entirely forwent follow-up games set in the same region, the latter two instead providing additional features to the original pair of games via paid {{wp|downloadable content}}.

Sometimes, a secondary set of paired versions that are [[remake]]s of earlier titles may also be released.

===Pokémon===
Most [[generation]]s introduce {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from previously released Pokémon. [[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are almost always included, and frequently appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[Legendary trio|trios]]. All generations also introduce at least one [[Mythical Pokémon]], which are almost always [[Event Pokémon|event-exclusive]] upon being introduced but may become available through other means in later generations.

In all generations, there are some Pokémon that cannot be encountered until after the {{player}} becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}. These are often Legendary Pokémon, such as {{p|Mewtwo}}. These Pokémon may or may not be part of the game's [[regional Pokédex]].

Before the release of a new generation, new Pokémon are often used to promote the new {{pkmn|games}} by including them in the {{pkmn|anime}} or in [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].

===Box art===
The box art for each game features one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which was introduced in that [[generation]] (or, in the case of [[remake]]s, the generation of the original games). This Pokémon is referred to by fans as a [[game mascot]], and with the exception of [[Kanto]]- and [[Hisui]]-based games, it is always the [[Legendary Pokémon]] available in that game at the climax of the storyline.

In terms of the artwork itself, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and all region releases of the initial paired games of each generation from [[Generation III]] to {{Gen|VII}} use their game mascot's original [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork for their box art, whereas all other core series games use specially made artwork.

The titles in the Japanese games typically use some shade of red and blue for either the characters or outlines of the characters. This is most likely in reference to the first internationally released core games of Pokémon Red and Blue. The DLC Expansion Passes for Pokémon Sword and Shield use green and yellow, likely in reference to both {{game|Red and Green|s}}, along with {{game|Yellow}}.

==List of core series games==
In {{pmin|South Korea}}, only {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released prior to the foundation of Nintendo of Korea and Pokémon Korea in 2006. The first core series game release after this was {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in 2008.

In {{pmin|Greater China}}, the first core series game release was [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] in 2016.

Several pieces of content in the core series Pokémon games depend on the games having a timeline, but a complete timeline cannot be drawn from the games themselves. Series producer [[Junichi Masuda]], in an interview with GameInformer on October 24, 2019, stated that [[Game Freak]] doesn't apply a timeline to the [[Pokémon world]] rigorously.<ref group="Notes">[https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/game-freak-talks-sword-and-shields-champion-wild-area-interactions-and-more] '''Masuda:''' ''It starts to get a little complicated if you pay too much attention to timelines. Like, there might be a professor that appears and it wouldn’t make sense at all if we applied that kind of timeline logic. So we try not to apply it too rigorously. Maybe one hint is that if a character is appearing with Professor Oak, they’re living in the same era. Rather than some series where it makes sense to have the timeline progress as you go and the story evolve, the approach that Pokémon takes is expanding the world, like what the regions are, and making it richer as we go. Rather than a timeline, it’s more of a physical space thing.''</ref>

On May 7, 2014, Game Freak employee [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]]'s Twitter account posted a timeline of the core series Pokémon games.<ref name="Matsumiya">[https://archive.is/D9iPz archive.is] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref> However, the tweet was subsequently deleted. Matsumiya also stated that the specific amount of time between the games is a mystery;<ref>"''Elapsed time is secret. Imagine freely!''" - Toshinobu Matsumiya. May 10, 2014. [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/465154051173130240?t=ehkMxBfeYTuJrZgEZGPaJA&s=19 Twitter]</ref> however, there are some mentions of how much time has passed in the games.

The plots of {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Red, Green|s}}, {{pkmn|Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{pkmn|Emerald Version|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]] are contemporaneous, as revealed in Matsumiya's tweet. They are then followed by the plots of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{pkmn|Crystal Version|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{pkmn|Platinum Version|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]] three years later; although Matsumiya's tweet suggests that they are also contemporaneous, the dialogue of [[Jasmine]] and [[Cynthia]] provides conflicting evidence on which games occur first.<ref name="Jasmine" group="Notes">'''Jasmine''': "I'm thinking maybe I should participate in this Contest in Sinnoh to try and be more vibrant." '''[[Erika]]''': "How did it go?" '''Jasmine''': "I couldn't bring myself to go to the Contest."</ref><ref name="Cynthia" group="Notes">'''Cynthia in HeartGold and SoulSilver''': "This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..." '''Cynthia in Platinum''': "No...! I'm so sorry I took so long. I think I finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, Dialga and Palkia appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--Giratina! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina."</ref> {{game|Black and White|s}} are set some years after this, as evidenced by [[Caitlin]] having visibly aged and Cynthia and the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] referencing previous events. [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] are set two years after Black and White, and are contemporaneous with {{g|X and Y}}, also revealed by Matsumiya's tweet. [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] take place two years after the events of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, as revealed by concept art of [[Grimsley]].<ref>Pokémon Sun and Moon Grimsley [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref> {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s placement is more vague, with little direct connection to other games, though the [[Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Type: Null}} in Sword mentions that stolen research notes led to the creation of more Type: Null,<ref group="Notes">'''Pokédex from Sword:''' ''Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the [[Galar]] region.''</ref> which could imply that they take place after the events of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, as only three Type: Null exist in those games. {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} take place after the events of Pokémon Sword and Shield, as revealed by the presence of a copy of ''[[Sonia's Book|Galar: A History]]'', which was published during the events of Sword and Shield, at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is established to be set long before all other games in the series, taking place in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Hisui|distant past]].

{{p|Porygon}}'s Pokédex entries in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon state that it was created 20 years ago,<ref name="Porygon" group="Notes">'''Pokédex from Sun:''' ''Roughly 20 years ago, it was artificially created, utilizing the latest technology of the time.'' Pokédex from Ultra Sun: ''This Pokémon was created using the cutting-edge science of 20 years ago, so many parts of it have since become obsolete.'' Pokédex from Ultra Moon: ''It was built 20 years ago by scientists who dreamed of exploring space. Their dreams have yet to come true.''</ref> and [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] states that Porygon was created in 1995 and that 150 Pokémon have been discovered as of 1996 <ref group="Notes">'''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]''': ''As of 1996, thanks to the investigative and research efforts of Prof. Oak, 150 species of Pokémon have been discovered.'' ''#118. Porygon: In 1995, Silph Co., which undertakes R&D into Pokémon and related products, successfully applied state-of-the-art technology to create this manmade Pokémon.''</ref>, meaning Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon take place 19 years after Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. From this information and the lengths of the gaps between other games in the series, it can be calculated that the gap between [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}} and Pokémon Black and White is 12 years long.

Although [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are remakes of Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} are known to have already finished their journeys years ago, and [[Mina]]'s age mentioned in her concept art would suggest that the games are set a maximum of 6 years before Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon,<ref>Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! [[Mina]] [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref><ref group="Notes">'''[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]''': "I mean, we have to move on from being [[Trial Captain|captains]] when we turn 20 anyway." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]])</ref> implying that they take place later than the original game. However, this is contradicted by [[Sabrina]] having a vision of meeting a special Trainer in three years, referencing the [[Player character|protagonist]] of Generation II, suggesting these games do not necessarily adhere to the timeline of the rest of the core series.

Although Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, they contain some references to features from the original games as having been present about a decade ago,<ref group="Notes">'''A {{tc|Bug Catcher}} in [[Rustboro City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]''': I heard that Pokémon Centers had two stories up until around 10 years ago! And they used to have a special area called a “Pokémon Cable Club”!" '''A {{tc|Battle Girl}} in [[Dewford Gym]]''': "A long time ago at Dewford Gym, it was always dark inside. We trained our minds by practicing in the dark!" '''An old man in [[Fallabor Town]]'s [[Contest Hall]]''': I just love making [[Pokéblock]]s! In the old days it used to take four of us to make a Pokéblock with this machine. A machine that was used to mix {{Berries}} in this region long ago." '''A man on [[Mt. Pyre]]''': "This used to be a desolate place. The ground had holes here and there, and I used to fall in!" '''{{ho|Mom}}''': "The [[Litleonids]], hmm? I remember going to see them with your dad 11 years ago when they last passed by!" (12 in the Japanese and Korean versions) '''[[Norman]]''': "Hmm? Is that an [[Eon Ticket]] you have there? Hm...it’s been a good 11 years since I last saw a ticket like this..."</ref> while others have not yet come about, such as the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which is under construction. Despite this, the remakes are implied to happen at the same point as the original games, as the [[Royal Unova]] and a device to visually reproduce the dreams of Pokémon having not yet been created reveals them to be before Pokémon Black and White<ref group="Notes">([[Oceanic Museum]]) '''“The Royal Unova”''' ''“A model of the sunset cruiser currently being built in the Unova region. It’s scheduled to be complete in — years.” The number is too faint to be read.''</ref><ref group="Notes">'''[[Devon Corporation|Devon]]'s scientist''': "I'm trying to develop a device that visually reproduces the dreams of Pokémon... And I’ve heard that my [[Fennel|rival]], who lives [[Unova|far away]], is doing the same research! I can't lose this race."</ref> and [[Mr. Bonding]] gaining [[O-Power]]s reveals them to be before Pokémon X and Y.<ref group="Notes">'''Mr. Bonding''': "HEY! This...this power! This power is incredible! I feel tied to these [[Old guys|old men]] with such strong bonds now! I feel like a totally different man!"</ref>

The specific years of events are not mentioned in the games themselves, but Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia states that Pokémon Red and Green occur in 1996, the year of their release. This year is referenced in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon on Red's shirt, which features a symbol resembling the number "96". Pokémon Gold and Silver are known to occur three years later, which would place them in 1999, also aligning with their release year. Another reference to the passage of time in real life appears in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, in which [[Norman]] mentions having seen the [[Eon Ticket]] 11 years earlier, referencing how long had passed from the item's original distribution in 2003 to the release of the games. Similarly, the description of the [[Member Card]] mentions that the last date marked on it was 50 years ago; the date shown on the card's official artwork (1958.12.1) is exactly 50 years prior to its first distribution.

Furthermore, some of the games mention the existence of {{pkmn|multiverse|multiple alternate universes}}.

The 2002 trademarks were filed around the same time as trademarks for Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl, and are all the English names of minerals written in {{wp|katakana}} ({{wp|topaz}}, {{wp|tourmaline}}, {{wp|amethyst}}, {{wp|Moonstone (gemstone)|moonstone}}, and {{wp|white gold}}). The 2008 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Red, Green, and Blue, and are all the Japanese names of colors written with a single {{wp|kanji}}. The 2009 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Black, White, and Scarlet, and are all the English names of colors written in katakana. Of these, {{wp|vermilion}}, {{wp|crimson}}, and {{wp|Scarlet (color)|scarlet}} are shades of red.

Contrary to what is sometimes reported, the name '''WaterBlue''' was not trademarked by Nintendo, Creatures, or Game Freak. However, Game Freak's [[Junichi Masuda]] did mention "WaterBlue" in 2004 in a blog post explaining the company's choice of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|"FireRed" and "LeafGreen"}} as both the Japanese and international titles for the remakes of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/2004/08/index.html 増田部長のめざめるパワー]</ref><ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2004/08/index.html HIDDEN POWER of masuda]</ref>

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], his name depends on the current game: '''Red'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Green'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''Blue'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Yellow'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''', '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|ブルー}}''', or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the player's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Ash'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. He was also named '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''') in early official media. Red's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|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 {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|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 [[Parcel|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 Leader]]s 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 Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; 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 [[Team Rocket Hideout|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 {{type|Ghost}} 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 [[Gym Leader|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 {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|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 {{pkmn|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, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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 {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto starter [[Mega Stone]]s.

Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.

===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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|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 {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, including Pokémon that he's never used in any of his previous NPC appearances.

==In the side series games==
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be 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.

During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.

====Pokémon====
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{ga|Red's Pikachu|his Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
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.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|Red (Masters)}}
Red appears in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], forming a [[sync pair]] with his {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (game)}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].]]
====Pokémon Trainer====
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}

Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.

Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.

====Other references====
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Style (GO)}}
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} were released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].

==Quotes==
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}

==Optional names==
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 24 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

==In the TFG==
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.

* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.

The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====Main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
Red's [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], 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 {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[starter Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

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

* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|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]].
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|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 {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** 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 [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.
* 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 {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref>
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Sygna Suit]] {{mas|Red}} is heard speaking several times.
::::In his [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story, he speaks a single line:
:::::''"… … … … … … Words are unnecessary!"''
::::In Chapter 30, he speaks two lines:
:::::''"…I accept your challenge!"''
:::::''"Congratulations! You won!"''
::::Also in Chapter 30, Red's thoughts are heard once as well:
:::::''"{{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Leaf}}… Let's win this—together!"''
::::He speaks a single line in the {{DL|Special event|Blazing Battle with Ash}} [[special event]]:
:::::''"…I'll be waiting."''
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of eight so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|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.
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The player is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and {{ga|Blue|his rival}} is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The player is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and his rival is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]].
** The player is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and his rival is once again named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The player is named '''Yellow''' (Japanese: '''{{j|イエロー}}''' ''Yellow''), and his rival is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}:<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>
*** 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 {{wp|Chief executive officer|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 {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|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 then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before deciding on the name "Red", named after one of the two original paired game versions of [[Generation I]].
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the [[Nintendo Space World]] 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen at the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named "Osamu" (Japanese: オサム).<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスターファイアレッド・リーフグリーン]</ref>
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), Red and {{ga|Blue}} are named "Ash" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.

An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS

2023-07-05T14:30:19Z

Ultra Ray: I checked the Japanese version of the book, and it says that 150 Pokémon have been registered as of 1996, not that the game takes place that year.

'''An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター図鑑''' ''Pocket Monsters Illustrated Book'') is a Japanese Pokémon illustrated guidebook that was released in April 1996, shortly after the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the first Pokémon games. It was produced by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and published by {{wp|Famitsu}}.

The book includes illustrations of the Pokémon, as well as biological information about Pokémon and their habitats.

==Title==
The word 図鑑 ''zukan'' in this book's title refers to an illustrated reference book or a {{wp|field guide}}. It is normally localized as [[Pokédex]] in English Pokémon media, especially ポケモン図鑑 (''Pokémon Zukan'').

==Editions==
The book was reprinted numerous different times. The book's final page specifies the book's edition and release date, as well as the release date of the first edition. The differences between the different editions (if any) are unknown.

==Trivia==
* In the lore provided by this book, it is described how Pokémon study was started by a 16th century French author named "Baron Tajirin". This character is named after Pokémon's creator, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. Later in the introduction, it is said that a certain "Professor Nishinomori" was the father of Japanese Pokémon study, "Nishinomori" being a combination of the names of [[Koji Nishino]] and [[Ken Sugimori]], both of whom played a key role in the development of Pokémon Red and Green.
** Professor Nishinomori's descendant appeared in the anime in the episode ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''. The English dub named him [[Professor Westwood V]], with "Westwood" being a literal translation of "Nishinomori" (Nishi meaning west and Mori meaning forest or woods).
* The introduction states that in Baron Tajirin's time only 30 Pokémon had been discovered. This is likely a reference to how, when developing Pokémon Red and Green, Satoshi Tajiri thought the Game Boy carts would only have room for 30 Pokémon, which was described in Tajiri's biographical manga.
* The fact that researchers have been arguing over {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s classification for six years appears to be a nod to how Pokémon Red and Green took six years to develop.
* {{p|Charmander}}'s entry describes how smokers use its flame's tail to light up their cigarette, something which was later shown off in a [https://twitter.com/HiResPokemon/status/1167095102508085250 set of playing cards] illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno and published in Corocoro Comics in late 1996.
* In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', the Pokédex mentions that {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Scyther}} can both distinguish colors, and that they are enraged by the color red, details which were only seen in this book. Prior to the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]], they were both [[Version-exclusive Pokémon#Generation I|exclusive to Red]].
* {{p|Snorlax}}'s entry contains an overt reference to Koji Nishino, as it describes how it got its Japanese name because it is capable of digesting moldy food. Indeed, "Kabi" is the Japanese word for mold, and Snorlax got its Japanese name "Kabigon" because it is a caricature of Nishino, who was said to eat pretty much anything he found, even if it was moldy.
* In {{p|Squirtle}}'s entry, its habitat is described as unknown, perhaps because [[starter Pokémon]] can't be found in the wild. As for its "long neck", it has never been seen, but was still mentioned a handful of times across the series, such as in its Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon Sword Pokédex entries, and in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]''.
* {{p|Oddish}}'s entry has [[Oddish (Pokémon)#Trivia|its Japanese alias name]] アルキメンデス ''Arukimendesu'' and states that it spreads pollen as it walks, instead of seeds as described in many of its Pokédex entries such as Red and Blue ones.
* The entry for {{p|Kangaskhan}} refers to female Kangaskhan only, implying the existence of male Kangaskhan.
* The nickname "gangster of the sea" in {{p|Tentacruel}}'s entry was only ever mentioned in the anime, by Ash's Pokedex in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''.
* As mentioned in {{p|Doduo}}'s entry, this Pokémon ''does'' have wings, though they are extremely small, much like real-life kiwi birds. They were only referenced in its ''Yellow'' and ''Let's Go'' Pokédex entries.
* The short story mentioned in {{p|Kadabra}}'s entry, "The Metamorphosis", is an overt reference to Franz Kafka's "{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}", in which a man wakes up one morning, only to realize that he's turned into a giant insect. Here, the little boy's story is presented as being fiction, whereas the in-game Pokédex entries tell it as if it really happened.
* In {{p|Moltres}}' entry, the idea of drinking phoenix blood to gain immortality isn't taken from any real-life myth, but is rather an homage to "{{wp|Phoenix (manga)|Phoenix}}", a manga series by {{wp|Osamu Tezuka}}.
* The entry for members of the Nidoran lines makes direct reference to {{p|Nidoran♀}}'s ability to produce Eggs, and {{p|Nidorina}}'s inability to do so. This is consistent to Nidorina and {{p|Nidoqueen}} being unable to breed ever since the {{pkmn|breeding}} mechanic was introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (which would be released years later). Baby Nidoran are also mentioned, and they were later seen on a [https://hirespokemon.tumblr.com/post/176993460046/my-nidobabies-ah-those-simpler-times-when-you 1997 ad for ''Pokémon Battoen''.]
* In its entry, {{p|Porygon}} is said to have been created by [[Silph Co.]] in 1995.
* According to an illustration, {{p|Golduck}} is the fastest swimmer of the Kanto Pokémon, reaching speeds above 90 kilometres per hour. Additionally, {{p|Dewgong}}'s swim speed is somewhere between 30 km/h and 60 km/h.
* During the entries for Pokémon which evolve through trade evolution, it is mentioned that researchers are not certain what could be triggering these Pokémon's evolution, implying that during the events of Pokémon Red and Green, trade evolution is a phenomenon not described or documented yet by science. The same thing also happens for Pokémon which evolve by evolutionary stone, with the given Pokémon's description only making note that its evolution appears to require "a special stone".

'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・グリーン''' ''Green Ōkido'') is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the rival's name depends on the current game: '''Green'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Red'''{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Blue'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|レッド}}''', or '''{{j|ブルー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the rival's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Gary'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. Blue's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series games==
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.

In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a starter Pokémon from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.

Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].

In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.

While he does not appear in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.

After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the Kanto starter Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.

Much like Blue, Gary was initially very arrogant, but mellowed out after he was defeated by his rival during the [[Silver Conference]].

Blue prominently appeared in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]''.

He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1''), <sc>Rival2</sc> (Japanese: ライバル2 ''Rival 2''), and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.
* Blue's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} were able to progress without receiving a starter Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player gets their starter Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's starter from this point onwards.
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|anime counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a gym slogan.
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].
* In Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are evolved by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his starter, {{p|Eevee}}.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The rival is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and {{ga|Red|the player}} is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The rival is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and the player is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]]
** The rival is once again named '''Red''', while the player is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The rival is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and the player is named Yellow, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), {{ga|Red}} and Blue are named "{{Ash}}" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Blue and {{ga|Red}}:
** The unused default name for Blue in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc> while Red's is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 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 {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]], which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Blue and Red differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Blue's unused default name is いしはら ''Ishihara'' while Red's is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi''. Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time, while Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Blue and Red are, respectively, クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]] and ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Blue was initially named ギャラ夫 ''Gyarao'', a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref>
* In the game data of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Blue's default name is internally "Terry".

Core series

2023-07-05T14:25:35Z

Ultra Ray: Removed fan speculation.

{{protect|of continuous counter-productive edit-warring that has been going on for nearly a year}}

I believe all of these things kind of illustrate how these games have evolved in somewhat of a different direction compared to the traditional main series Pokémon RPGs. And my goal for these games is really to create a Pokémon RPG for everyone. And I believe that not only have we managed to make these titles great entry games for those who are new to the Pokémon RPG series, but at the same time, really provide a new and fresh experience that long-time fans of the series will enjoy. So it's really my hope that all sorts of people will give these games a try. So that concludes my introduction today for Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, but before I go I would like to say just one more thing. So at GameFreak we're also hard at work on another all-new core series Pokémon RPG, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.''</ref> is the game series for [[Nintendo]] video game systems, which follow the standard model of a {{player}}'s journey through a specific [[region]] to catch and raise {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, battle {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, fight [[Villainous team|crime]], and earn recognition (usually by collecting [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s) until they are acknowledged as the [[Pokémon Champion|strongest Trainer]]. The series has only been released for {{wp|Handheld game console|handheld systems}}, though this includes the [[Nintendo Switch]], which is both a handheld and a home console.

Counting paired games as a single release, there are currently 22 core series games released in Japanese, 21 in European languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian), 15 in Korean, and 7 in Chinese (both simplified and traditional). Counting each game individually, there are currently 38 core series games released in Japanese, 37 in European languages, 28 in Korean, and 13 in Chinese.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was standard for the Western releases of the core series games to include the label ''Version'' in their title, although this was seldom used by the Japanese releases. In Japanese, Korean, and formerly in Chinese, the series is called the '''Pocket Monsters Series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシリーズ'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917190255/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/ ゲームポケットモンスターシリーズ | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト] (archive)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ GAME LIST]</ref>, Korean: '''포켓몬스터 시리즈'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200805135605/https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=game-game_list&GameGroup=P 포켓몬 공식 사이트] (archive)</ref>, Chinese: '''精靈寶可夢系列 / 精灵宝可梦系列'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIVoUw0h20w&t=9m30s Nintendo SpotLight E3 2017 (附中文字幕) - YouTube]</ref>). Core series games, except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], all contain the full name ''Pocket Monsters'' in their Japanese title, whereas [[side series]] and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'' instead. While the Japanese releases of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] use ''Pocket Monsters'' in English subtitles, they use ''Pokémon'' in {{wp|kana}} in their Japanese names.

In English, the core series has officially been referred to as the '''main series''', '''Pokémon RPG series''', or '''core series'''<ref name="English names" group="Notes"/> in official marketing materials. However, all Western releases of games use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'', regardless of whether they are core series games or spin-off games.

The Pokémon Video Game Championships are conducted using the core series games.

==Classification==
===Content model===
While there are no strict rules that make a game a core series game, and previously assumed rules are continuously broken, the games generally have a similar plot structure and {{cat|Game mechanics|mechanics}}.

The {{player}} begins the game in a small town or city of a given [[region]], having no {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of their own. Through a course of events, the player receives a [[starter Pokémon]], usually from the region's [[Pokémon Professor]]; there are almost always three starter Pokémon to choose from, with one {{t|Grass}} [[type]], one {{t|Fire}} type, and one {{t|Water}} type, and a character who will become the player's [[rival]] will typically choose (or already have) another member of the trio based on the player's choice.

After this point, the player begins to journey across the entire region (which contains several settlements like cities and towns, themselves usually connected by [[route]]), {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} any [[wild Pokémon]] they choose to, and using a [[party]] they assemble to take on other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Most regions have eight [[Gym Leader]]s that the player must defeat in order to obtain a [[Badge]] from each one, though in games set in the [[Alola]] region, the player instead participates in the [[island challenge]], and in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], they defeat five frenzied [[noble Pokémon]]. In addition to repeated interactions with their rival, the player must also stop the plans of a [[villainous team]], which often involve the manipulation of [[Legendary Pokémon]].

After all eight Gym Leaders have been defeated or the island challenge has been completed, the player can enter the [[Pokémon League]], where the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the region awaits challengers. However, a series of Trainers known as the [[Elite Four]] must usually be defeated in succession before the Champion can be fought. The Champion is often introduced prior to the player's Pokémon League challenge, and may aid the player on their adventure. After defeating the Champion, the player becomes a Champion themself, which is usually honoured by their entry into the [[Hall of Fame]]. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the only game in the core series to not feature the Pokémon League in any form.

The player's defeat of the Champion can be considered the ending of the game, as it is followed by the [[credits]] being shown. However, there is always post-game content that the player gains access to after this. Often, there is a post-game plotline and locations and facilities that could not be previously accessed become available. Since {{game|Crystal}}, there is usually at least one facility specifically dedicated to {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. The overarching goal is to obtain many species of Pokémon in order to complete the [[Pokédex]]. In the first two generations, every Pokémon species in the game has to be obtained in order to complete the Pokédex, and the player is awarded a [[diploma]] for achieving this. From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation VI]], there are two separate Pokédexes, each with their own diploma as a reward for completing them: the [[regional Pokédex]], which only contains the Pokémon native to the region the game is set in, and the [[National Pokédex]], which is unlocked in the post-game and contains every Pokémon in the game. Starting in [[Generation VII]], the games only contain a regional Pokédex, the completion of which usually rewards the player with a diploma, while the National Pokédex is confined to companion applications like [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]].

===Release model===
While releases continue to break patterns, the release of core series games tends to follow a pattern.

When a [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] begins, a pair of games is always released. These paired versions feature virtually the same storyline as each other, but the [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|available Pokémon]] differ, and some other elements are usually slightly different. This encourages [[Trade|trading]], as it is required in order to complete the [[Pokédex]].

Most generations feature an "upper version"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CldWM5ornc Nintendo UK YouTube]: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Introduction – Episode 4 – A new Pokémon adventure awaits</ref> title—often referred to by fans as a "third version"—a follow-up game or pair of games released after the first games of the generation that takes place in the same [[region]] with added features. These games typically both share and lack certain regional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were available in one or both of the original paired versions; thus, a {{player}} of an upper version must link together with the original pair to complete the regional Pokédex as well. On the contrary, upper versions typically contain certain Pokémon from different regions that are unavailable in the original pair, thus being more helpful in completing the [[National Pokédex]]. Until [[Generation VII]], only a single third version following an original pair was ever released at a time; [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] were the first of these games to be released as a pair. Unlike other generations, [[Generation V]] opted for a sequel story instead, while [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VIII]], and [[Generation IX]] entirely forwent follow-up games set in the same region, the latter two instead providing additional features to the original pair of games via paid {{wp|downloadable content}}.

Sometimes, a secondary set of paired versions that are [[remake]]s of earlier titles may also be released.

===Pokémon===
Most [[generation]]s introduce {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from previously released Pokémon. [[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are almost always included, and frequently appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[Legendary trio|trios]]. All generations also introduce at least one [[Mythical Pokémon]], which are almost always [[Event Pokémon|event-exclusive]] upon being introduced but may become available through other means in later generations.

In all generations, there are some Pokémon that cannot be encountered until after the {{player}} becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}. These are often Legendary Pokémon, such as {{p|Mewtwo}}. These Pokémon may or may not be part of the game's [[regional Pokédex]].

Before the release of a new generation, new Pokémon are often used to promote the new {{pkmn|games}} by including them in the {{pkmn|anime}} or in [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].

===Box art===
The box art for each game features one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which was introduced in that [[generation]] (or, in the case of [[remake]]s, the generation of the original games). This Pokémon is referred to by fans as a [[game mascot]], and with the exception of [[Kanto]]- and [[Hisui]]-based games, it is always the [[Legendary Pokémon]] available in that game at the climax of the storyline.

In terms of the artwork itself, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and all region releases of the initial paired games of each generation from [[Generation III]] to {{Gen|VII}} use their game mascot's original [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork for their box art, whereas all other core series games use specially made artwork.

The titles in the Japanese games typically use some shade of red and blue for either the characters or outlines of the characters. This is most likely in reference to the first internationally released core games of Pokémon Red and Blue. The DLC Expansion Passes for Pokémon Sword and Shield use green and yellow, likely in reference to both {{game|Red and Green|s}}, along with {{game|Yellow}}.

==List of core series games==
In {{pmin|South Korea}}, only {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released prior to the foundation of Nintendo of Korea and Pokémon Korea in 2006. The first core series game release after this was {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in 2008.

In {{pmin|Greater China}}, the first core series game release was [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] in 2016.

Several pieces of content in the core series Pokémon games depend on the games having a timeline, but a complete timeline cannot be drawn from the games themselves. Series producer [[Junichi Masuda]], in an interview with GameInformer on October 24, 2019, stated that [[Game Freak]] doesn't apply a timeline to the [[Pokémon world]] rigorously.<ref group="Notes">[https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/game-freak-talks-sword-and-shields-champion-wild-area-interactions-and-more] Masuda: ''It starts to get a little complicated if you pay too much attention to timelines. Like, there might be a professor that appears and it wouldn’t make sense at all if we applied that kind of timeline logic. So we try not to apply it too rigorously. Maybe one hint is that if a character is appearing with Professor Oak, they’re living in the same era. Rather than some series where it makes sense to have the timeline progress as you go and the story evolve, the approach that Pokémon takes is expanding the world, like what the regions are, and making it richer as we go. Rather than a timeline, it’s more of a physical space thing.''</ref>

On May 7, 2014, Game Freak employee [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]]'s Twitter account posted a timeline of the core series Pokémon games.<ref name="Matsumiya">[https://archive.is/D9iPz archive.is] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref> However, the tweet was subsequently deleted. Matsumiya also stated that the specific amount of time between the games is a mystery;<ref>"''Elapsed time is secret. Imagine freely!''" - Toshinobu Matsumiya. May 10, 2014. [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/465154051173130240?t=ehkMxBfeYTuJrZgEZGPaJA&s=19 Twitter]</ref> however, there are some mentions of how much time has passed in the games.

The plots of {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Red, Green|s}}, {{pkmn|Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{pkmn|Emerald Version|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]] are contemporaneous, as revealed in Matsumiya's tweet. They are then followed by the plots of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{pkmn|Crystal Version|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{pkmn|Platinum Version|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]] three years later; although Matsumiya's tweet suggests that they are also contemporaneous, the dialogue of [[Jasmine]] and [[Cynthia]] provides conflicting evidence on which games occur first.<ref name="Jasmine" group="Notes">'''Jasmine''': "I'm thinking maybe I should participate in this Contest in Sinnoh to try and be more vibrant." '''[[Erika]]''': "How did it go?" '''Jasmine''': "I couldn't bring myself to go to the Contest."</ref><ref name="Cynthia" group="Notes">'''Cynthia in HeartGold and SoulSilver''': "This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..." '''Cynthia in Platinum''': "No...! I'm so sorry I took so long. I think I finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, Dialga and Palkia appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--Giratina! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina."</ref> {{game|Black and White|s}} are set some years after this, as evidenced by [[Caitlin]] having visibly aged and Cynthia and the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] referencing previous events. [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] are set two years after Black and White, and are contemporaneous with {{g|X and Y}}, also revealed by Matsumiya's tweet. [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] take place two years after the events of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, as revealed by concept art of [[Grimsley]].<ref>Pokémon Sun and Moon Grimsley [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref> {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s placement is more vague, with little direct connection to other games, though the [[Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Type: Null}} in Sword mentions that stolen research notes led to the creation of more Type: Null,<ref group="Notes">Pokédex from Sword: ''Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the [[Galar]] region.''</ref> which could imply that they take place after the events of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, as only three Type: Null exist in those games. {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} take place after the events of Pokémon Sword and Shield, as revealed by the presence of a copy of ''[[Sonia's Book|Galar: A History]]'', which was published during the events of Sword and Shield, at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is established to be set long before all other games in the series, taking place in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Hisui|distant past]].

{{p|Porygon}}'s Pokédex entries in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon state that it was created 20 years ago,<ref name="Porygon" group="Notes">Pokédex from Sun: ''Roughly 20 years ago, it was artificially created, utilizing the latest technology of the time.'' Pokédex from Ultra Sun: ''This Pokémon was created using the cutting-edge science of 20 years ago, so many parts of it have since become obsolete.'' Pokédex from Ultra Moon: ''It was built 20 years ago by scientists who dreamed of exploring space. Their dreams have yet to come true.''</ref> and the same games mention that Anabel fell through an Ultra Wormhole 10 years ago. From this and the lengths of the gaps between other games in the series, it can be calculated that the gap between Generation II/IV and Pokémon Black and White is between 3 and 13 years long.

Although [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are remakes of Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} are known to have already finished their journeys years ago, and [[Mina]]'s age mentioned in her concept art would suggest that the games are set a maximum of 6 years before Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon,<ref>Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! [[Mina]] [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref><ref group="Notes">'''[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]''': "I mean, we have to move on from being [[Trial Captain|captains]] when we turn 20 anyway." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]])</ref> implying that they take place later than the original game. However, this is contradicted by [[Sabrina]] having a vision of meeting a special Trainer in three years, referencing the [[Player character|protagonist]] of Generation II, suggesting these games do not necessarily adhere to the timeline of the rest of the core series.

Although Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, they contain some references to features from the original games as having been present about a decade ago,<ref group="Notes">'''A {{tc|Bug Catcher}} in [[Rustboro City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]''': I heard that Pokémon Centers had two stories up until around 10 years ago! And they used to have a special area called a “Pokémon Cable Club”!" '''A {{tc|Battle Girl}} in [[Dewford Gym]]''': "A long time ago at Dewford Gym, it was always dark inside. We trained our minds by practicing in the dark!" '''An old man in [[Fallabor Town]]'s [[Contest Hall]]''': I just love making [[Pokéblock]]s! In the old days it used to take four of us to make a Pokéblock with this machine. A machine that was used to mix {{Berries}} in this region long ago." '''A man on [[Mt. Pyre]]''': "This used to be a desolate place. The ground had holes here and there, and I used to fall in!" '''{{ho|Mom}}''': "The [[Litleonids]], hmm? I remember going to see them with your dad 11 years ago when they last passed by!" (12 in the Japanese and Korean versions) '''[[Norman]]''': "Hmm? Is that an [[Eon Ticket]] you have there? Hm...it’s been a good 11 years since I last saw a ticket like this..."</ref> while others have not yet come about, such as the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which is under construction. Despite this, the remakes are implied to happen at the same point as the original games, as the [[Royal Unova]] and a device to visually reproduce the dreams of Pokémon having not yet been created reveals them to be before Pokémon Black and White<ref group="Notes">([[Oceanic Museum]]) '''“The Royal Unova”''' ''“A model of the sunset cruiser currently being built in the Unova region. It’s scheduled to be complete in — years.” The number is too faint to be read.''</ref><ref group="Notes">'''[[Devon Corporation|Devon]]'s scientist''': "I'm trying to develop a device that visually reproduces the dreams of Pokémon... And I’ve heard that my [[Fennel|rival]], who lives [[Unova|far away]], is doing the same research! I can't lose this race."</ref> and [[Mr. Bonding]] gaining [[O-Power]]s reveals them to be before Pokémon X and Y.<ref group="Notes">'''Mr. Bonding''': "HEY! This...this power! This power is incredible! I feel tied to these [[Old guys|old men]] with such strong bonds now! I feel like a totally different man!"</ref>

The specific years of events are not mentioned in the games themselves, but 1996, the year Pokémon Red and Green was released, is referenced in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon on Red's shirt, which features a symbol resembling the number "96". Pokémon Gold and Silver are known to occur three years later, also aligning with their release year. Another reference to the passage of time in real life appears in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, in which [[Norman]] mentions having seen the [[Eon Ticket]] 11 years earlier, referencing how long had passed from the item's original distribution in 2003 to the release of the games. Similarly, the description of the [[Member Card]] mentions that the last date marked on it was 50 years ago; the date shown on the card's official artwork (1958.12.1) is exactly 50 years prior to its first distribution.

Furthermore, some of the games mention the existence of {{pkmn|multiverse|multiple alternate universes}}.

The 2002 trademarks were filed around the same time as trademarks for Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl, and are all the English names of minerals written in {{wp|katakana}} ({{wp|topaz}}, {{wp|tourmaline}}, {{wp|amethyst}}, {{wp|Moonstone (gemstone)|moonstone}}, and {{wp|white gold}}). The 2008 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Red, Green, and Blue, and are all the Japanese names of colors written with a single {{wp|kanji}}. The 2009 trademarks were filed alongside trademarks for Black, White, and Scarlet, and are all the English names of colors written in katakana. Of these, {{wp|vermilion}}, {{wp|crimson}}, and {{wp|Scarlet (color)|scarlet}} are shades of red.

Contrary to what is sometimes reported, the name '''WaterBlue''' was not trademarked by Nintendo, Creatures, or Game Freak. However, Game Freak's [[Junichi Masuda]] did mention "WaterBlue" in 2004 in a blog post explaining the company's choice of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|"FireRed" and "LeafGreen"}} as both the Japanese and international titles for the remakes of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/2004/08/index.html 増田部長のめざめるパワー]</ref><ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2004/08/index.html HIDDEN POWER of masuda]</ref>

'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・グリーン''' ''Green Ōkido'') is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the rival's name depends on the current game: '''Green'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Red'''{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Blue'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|レッド}}''', or '''{{j|ブルー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the rival's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Gary'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. Blue's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series games==
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.

In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a starter Pokémon from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.

Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].

In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.

While he does not appear in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.

After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the Kanto starter Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.

He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1''), <sc>Rival2</sc> (Japanese: ライバル2 ''Rival 2''), and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.
* Blue's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} were able to progress without receiving a starter Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player gets their starter Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's starter from this point onwards.
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|anime counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a gym slogan.
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].
* In Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are evolved by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his starter, {{p|Eevee}}.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The rival is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and {{ga|Red|the player}} is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The rival is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and the player is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]]
** The rival is once again named '''Red''', while the player is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The rival is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and the player is named Yellow, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), {{ga|Red}} and Blue are named "{{Ash}}" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Blue and {{ga|Red}}:
** The unused default name for Blue in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc> while Red's is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 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 {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]], which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Blue and Red differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Blue's unused default name is いしはら ''Ishihara'' while Red's is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi''. Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time, while Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Blue and Red are, respectively, クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]] and ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Blue was initially named ギャラ夫 ''Gyarao'', a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref>
* In the game data of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Blue's default name is internally "Terry".

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], his name depends on the current game: '''Red'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''Green'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''Blue'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''Yellow'''{{sup/1|Y}} (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''', '''{{j|グリーン}}''', '''{{j|ブルー}}''', or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''). In the English game manuals from this generation, the player's name is absent from the story but appears as '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''Ash'''{{sup/1|Y}} in screenshots. He was also named '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''') in early official media. Red's definitive name was introduced when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation II]] games.

Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|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 {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|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 [[Parcel|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 Leader]]s 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 Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; 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 [[Team Rocket Hideout|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 {{type|Ghost}} 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 [[Gym Leader|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 {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|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 {{pkmn|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, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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 {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto starter [[Mega Stone]]s.

Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.

===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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|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 {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|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 and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra 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.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, including Pokémon that he's never used in any of his previous NPC appearances.

During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
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.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|Red (Masters)}}
Red appears in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], forming a [[sync pair]] with his {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (game)}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].]]
====Pokémon Trainer====
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}

Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.

Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.

====Other references====
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Style (GO)}}
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} were released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].

==Quotes==
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}

==Optional names==
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 24 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

==In the TFG==
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.

* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.

The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====Main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
Red's [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], 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 {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|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 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[starter Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.
{{-}}

====Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

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

====Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure====
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]
Red debuted as a silhouette in [[JBA5]]. He then physically debuted in [[JBA6]]. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} after [[Jō]]'s battle with the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]]. Jō later encountered Red when he reached the top of [[Mt. Silver]], ready to battle him.

==Trivia==
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|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]].
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|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 {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** 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 [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.
* 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 {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref>
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Sygna Suit]] {{mas|Red}} is heard speaking several times.
::::In his [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story, he speaks a single line:
:::::''"… … … … … … Words are unnecessary!"''
::::In Chapter 30, he speaks two lines:
:::::''"…I accept your challenge!"''
:::::''"Congratulations! You won!"''
::::Also in Chapter 30, Red's thoughts are heard once as well:
:::::''"{{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Leaf}}… Let's win this—together!"''
::::He speaks a single line in the {{DL|Special event|Blazing Battle with Ash}} [[special event]]:
:::::''"…I'll be waiting."''
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of eight so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|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.
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]

* The Trainer's Guide released with each [[Generation I]] game tells a short story about the player character and his rival. However, they have different names in each Japanese manual:
** The player is named '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''), and {{ga|Blue|his rival}} is named Green, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red]].
** The player is named '''Green''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''), and his rival is named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]].
** The player is named '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''), and his rival is once again named Red, in the Japanese manual of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The player is named '''Yellow''' (Japanese: '''{{j|イエロー}}''' ''Yellow''), and his rival is named Blue, in the Japanese manual of {{game|Yellow}}.
** The names of the player character and the rival are not mentioned in the English manuals.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}:<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>
*** 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 {{wp|Chief executive officer|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 {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|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 then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before deciding on the name "Red", named after one of the two original paired game versions of [[Generation I]].
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the [[Nintendo Space World]] 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen at the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named "Osamu" (Japanese: オサム).<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスターファイアレッド・リーフグリーン]</ref>
* In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), Red and {{ga|Blue}} are named "Ash" and "{{Gary}}", their counterparts from the anime.
