Red (game): Difference between revisions

==Trivia==

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

* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only in passing when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} in the [[Celadon Department Store]].

* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Stadium series]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} at level 81, beating the wild {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Platinum, however, the {{ga|Pearl|rival}}'s team receives a boost in level, putting his [[starter Pokémon]] at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at up to level 100. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's team a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping the list at level 88, Red is again the highest-leveled Trainer opponent (though wild Magikarp still are the highest level opponent Pokémon).

* In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, Pokémon Trainer is the second Pokémon character, after {{p|Pikachu}}, that didn't need to be unlocked.

*In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, somewhat ironically, Charizard is the slowest character, even though the {{p|Charmander}} evolution family has an exceptionally high Speed stat compared to the other two Kanto starters.

** Likewise, the four version mascots Red owns all know a special move that is somewhat exclusive to them in Generation IV: Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur know the elemental versions of {{m|Hyper Beam}}, only obtainable by talking to a woman on [[Boon Island]]'s [[Cape Brink]], while Pikachu knows Volt Tackle.

** Red's Pikachu's four moves are the same four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] knows presently in the anime: {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
