Overview
Red is the player-character Pokémon trainer that first appeared in the orignal Pokémon Red and Blue, and Yellow, as well as the remakes FireRed and LeafGreen. He is a young boy from Pallet Town who sets off on a journey to defeat the eight Gym Leaders of the Kanto region. Along the way, he faces opposition from his childhood friend and rival Blue, and takes down the criminal organization Team Rocket. He eventually defeats the Elite Four and Blue one final time to become Champion of the Indigo League.
Three years later, as depicted in Pokémon Gold and Silver, as well as Crystal and the remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red seems to have stepped down as Indigo League Champion, with Lance taking his place. He often trains in isolation on the highest point of Mt. Silver, where the new protagonist, Ethan/Kris/Lyra can challenge him and his powerful Pokémon team. Red is the strongest trainer that can be battled in the game.
Red's most recent appearance is in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. While visiting Unova, Red enters the Pokémon World Tournament in the Champions Tournament, where he can be challenged by Nate/Rosa.
