'''Red''' is one of the most badass [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the entire [[Pokémon]] series. He first appeared in [[Pokémon 1]] and has made his mark on [[Kawachan|all of us]] ever since. He was even [[awesome]] enough to be featured in [[Super Smash Bros.]] [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]. How cool is that? Anyways, Red is [[Green]]'s rival and his [[female]] version (and good friend) is [[Leaf]]. In addition to being awesome in all the Pokémon games, Red also plays heavy roles in [[Super Smash Bros.: Secrets of the Heart]] and [[Pikachu and Squirtle]].

== Appearances ==

=== Pokémon 1 ===
In Pokémon 1, Red is the leading man (with Leaf being the leading [[girl]]), who sets out on his very own quest to become a Pokémon Trainer. As such, he must run about the [[Kanto]] region defeating the [[8]] [[Gym leader]]s and collecting badges from them, so that he may participate in the [[Pokémon League]] and defeat the [[Elite Four]] and become the [[Champion]]. However, his [[rival]] Green is always one step ahead of him, and is constantly picking on him throughout the embarkment. Thankfully, there were friendly people like [[Bill]] to help him along the way. He also ultimately screwed up [[Team Rocket]]'s [[plans to take over the World]], leaving [[Giovanni]] no choice but to cut his loses and take [[over 9000]] dollars from TR and bail outta there. Despite being evil, Red had a little fun [[gamble|gambling]] in their [[casino]] anyway. 

At the end of the road, though lies an ultimate shocker: Green was the champion!!! And apparently, he had been waiting a long ass time for him, too. So Red, Leaf and Green fought an [[epic battle]] that Green [[fail]]ed at. Red then became the champion. However, he cast it aside as if it were a [[Sonic Medallion|worthless medal]] and went on [[as if nothing ever happened]], continuing to have a [[impossibility|normal life]]. Implied is that he kept frequent close contact with Leaf, Bill, and even Green [[for some reason]].

=== [[Pokémon 2]] ===
And here, what Red did after he rejected champion-hood became clear. After realizing being normal was making his Pokémon [[fat]] and [[lazy]], he decided to kick his training up by going to [[Mt. Silver]] and beating the snot out of [[ridiculously high-level]]ed [[Misdreavus]]. Later, [[Gold]]/[[Krys]]/[[Lyra]] come upon him in the cave, training his ass off. Then The four face off in a battle more [[epic]] than Red's own champion battle.

Through pure, sheer, [[dumb luck|dumb-ass luck]], Gold somehow won. Red passes out for some reason and disappears. After that, it is presumed he wakes up alive and well and decides he needs to back off for a little while. As all experts sorta know, whenever [[you]]'d beat the Elite Four, you'll find him there again. Probably looking for a less boring way to level [[grind]]?

==== [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] ====
In this spin off, Red appeared at the end of the Kanto [[Gym leader castle]]. However, unlike Green, he didn't get his own tower, just a small cave (called Mt Silver, for reasons beyond [[stupid]]ity). Here, Red battles [[you]] with a fairly tame team as opposed to his uber strong one from G/S/C.

=== Heart Gold and Soul Silver ===
Nothing has changed in the remakes except that thanks to some skewed leveling up techniques, Red has once again become the most powerful [[Pokémon trainer]] on [[the whole damn planet]], even surpassing [[Pearl]]'s stupid [[Pokémon Platinum]] team. his Pikachu was raised from level 82 to 87. Unfortunately, his uber [[Espeon]] was replaced by a pathetic [[Lapras]].

=== Brawl ===
Red appears as a Playable character in Brawl. However, Brawl failed epically by calling him "Pokémon Trainer".

=== Pikachu and Squirtle ===
{{PAS Spoilers}}
Red plays a very heavy role in Pikachu and Squirtle's main story.
Before [[Pikachu]] stumbled onto [[Poké Island]], he was under ownership of Red, who cared for him greatly. After being seriously injured in a battle, Pikachu is taken to a [[Pokémon Center]] for treatment. However, Pikachu and the [[Chansey]] nurse both run away, leaving Red almost [[trauma]]tized.

Later, Red is kidnapped by one of [[Lord Meowth]]'s lackeys, [[Gengar]] and is locked away inside the [[Lighthouse]], where Gengar plans on [[Dream Eater|Dream Eating]] him to [[death]]. However, Pikachu defeats Gengar. After a quick verbal exchange, Red realizes who Pikachu is, and a happy moment ensues. Red then joins the team against Lord Meowth. He is lusted after by [[Jynx]].

As a party member, Red specializes in combat attacks, and cannot perform many [[Tag-Team Moves]] with his friends. However, shortly after joining, Red gains the ability to use [[Fire]] in his attacks, and he starts with the ability to boost items effectiveness by [[20]]%.

Interestingly, Red is not in the Human story of the game. Instead, his anime counterpart, [[Ash Ketchum]] hogs the spotlight.
However, Red is able to utilize both size/age Transformations, whereas Ash can only utilize the [[Chibi]] form.

=== Other Appearances ===
As mentioned above, Red appears in the Smash Series' Secrets of the Heart, where he is teamed up with [[Princess Peach]] and is trying to find out what the [[Heart of Innocence]] is.

He also appears in random Pokémon comics drawn and written by [[User:Chao|Chao]] and his Mom. Here, Red is a frequently appearing trainer. Usually, he is stalked by the reoccurring Jynx, and always finds that his company knows something he doesn't.
