Red travels all over Kanto, filling in the [[Pokédex]] and defeating [[Gym Leader]]s. His [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede his progress. When Red eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], he finds that Blue has beaten him to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League|league]] [[Pokémon champion|champion]].  Red defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the champion himself.

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

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

*When Red is encountered in [[Mt. Silver]] during [[Generation II]], he has no speech, merely repeating an ellipsis before beginning the battle. This is a reference to the fact that during [[Generation I]] he is a silent protagonist, answering only "yes" or "no" questions.

*Just like there is hardly any information on {{Ash}}'s father, the same is true of Red's father, except for this one mention, when the player examines one of the SNES's in the [[Celadon Department Store]] in [[Generation I]]: ''"A sports game! Dad'll like that!"'', suggesting that he does have some kind of presence.

*Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team was at the highest level of any normal Trainer battle in the games (this excludes the Battle Tower and Battle Frontier, along with Stadium games and the like). His {{p|Pikachu}} had been the highest-leveled Pokémon one can face, as well, one level higher than {{p|Arceus}} in the wild. However, with the release of Platinum, the levels of the player's {{ga|Pearl|rival}}'s Pokémon have been boosted, and {{P|Magikarp}} can be found as high as level 100 in the [[Resort Area]]. Eventually his [[starter Pokémon]] will be level 85, and he has three other Pokémon that equal or exceed the level of Red's Pikachu.

*An unused default name for Red in the [[Generation I]] games was "[[Nintendo|NINTEN]]". Conversely, {{ga|Blue}}'s unused default name is "{{wp|Sony|SONY}}". While normally unviewable, changing a few addresses within the game's code can allow for these names to appear.[http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=308&o=0&p=20] This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition, and may possibly reference the {{wp|Ninten|main character}} of another Nintendo RPG, {{wp|Mother (video game)|Mother}}.
