### Red, Green, and Blue

In *Red, Green and Blue*, Red who is a curious, young boy aged eleven (with European releases giving his age as 10) from Pallet Town. He was also once friends with Blue, the grandson of Pallet Town's local Pokemon expert, Professor Oak but as revealed via the instruction manuels, Red gained an interest in Pokemon once Blue stopped playing with him, instead choosing to begin bullying him instead. However, this contradicts Professor Oak's claim in the games that the two have in fact been rivals since they were both infants.

One day, as Red prepares to leave his home to begin his Pokemon journey, he is stopped from leaving the town by Oak who tells him he needs a Pokemon for his own protection. Upon being brought to the lab where Blue is, Oak gives the two a choice between the three Kanto starters: Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle.

Depending on the starter Pokemon Red picks, Blue will soon choose his own starter Pokemon but one that has a type advantage over Red's starter Pokemon.

After both have chosen their respective Pokemon, they will battle one another with Blue wanting to challenge Red as he believes his starter Pokemon can beat Red's Pokemon.

Once that has ended, Red makes his way to Route 1, eventually reaching Viridian City where he arrives at the Poke Mart to receive a Parcel that he then brings back to Oak in Pallet Town.

With Blue arriving seconds later, Oak tells the two trainers about a dream of his when he was young which was to use his Pokemon to create a full guide on the Pokemon in the Kanto region but due to his old age, Oak can no longer accomplish his goal, something he wants both Red and Blue to do for him instead.

Upon obtaining a Town Map from Daisy Oak, Professor Oak's granddaughter and Blue's older sister, Red leaves Pallet Town and begins traveling all over the Kanto region, capturing and training various Pokemon.

He also starts gathering the eight Gym Badges by defeating the Gym Leaders and regularly meets Blue who usually challenges him to a battle, Blue being one step ahead of Red and showing up to stall Red's progress.

During his journey, Red learns of a group of Pokemon thieves called Team Rocket. He first meets them when they're searching for and attempting to steal fossils inside Mt. Moon.

Upon arriving in Cerulean City, Red heads north to the Nugget Bridge on Route 24 and defeats the Trainers as well as a Team Rocket Grunt who was hoping to recruit new members for the organization. He soon meets another Grunt hiding in the grounds of a house, having stolen the TM, Dig from a man who resides in Cerulean with his wife.

Red soon discovers Team Rocket are plotting something and manages to gain access to their underground base which is hidden beneath Celadon City's Game Corner or Rocket Corner. His journey through the hideout brings him face-to-face with Giovanni, the boss and leader of Team Rocket whom Red defeats in battle, forcing Team Rocket to abandon their hideout in Celadon.

Using the Silph Scope he'd obtained from Giovanni, Red heads into the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town and learns Mr. Fuji, the elderly caretaker is being held hostage by some Grunts. By defeating them, Red frees Mr. Fuji and causes the Rockets to flee from the Tower while also ensuring the ghost of the Marowak who Team Rocket also murdered, leaving her baby Cubone an orphan can finally head to the afterlife, her spirit having been calmed.

Red heads into Saffron City and learns that Team Rocket has not only taken control of the city but also the Silph Company who are planning on using the Master Ball, a Poke Ball that can catch any Pokemon without fail. He meets Giovanni in the Silph President's office and defeats him again, causing Giovanni to flee and end Team Rocket's control of Saffron, resulting in Saffron returning to normal.

Having gotten seven Badges, Red heads to the Viridian Gym to get his final badge where he discovers Giovanni is the Gym Leader he must defeat in order to get to the Elite Four in the Indigo Plateau.

Red eventually prevails, earning the Earth Badge while Giovanni disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

After making it through the Victory Road and the Indigo Plateau, Red then challenges Kanto's Elite Four consisting of four trainers and a Champion. He defeats the Ice trainer Lorlei, the Fighting trainer Bruno, the Ghost Trainer Agatha and the Dragon Trainer Lance before he challenges the Champion who he soon discovers is none other than his rival, Blue who defeated the Elite Four before Red ever set foot in the Indigo Plateau, making Blue the Champion of Kanto.

However, Blue's reign as Champion is short-lived as Red soon defeats him in battle, becoming the new Kanto Champion.

After that, Red opts to continue on with his training rather than stay at the Indigo Plateau as a Champion.

### Gold, Silver, and Crystal

In *Gold and Silver* and *Crystal*, after becoming the Kanto Champion upon defeating his rival, Blue, Red became a wandering Trainer with his journey eventually taking him to Mt. Silver where he spends his days and nights training his Pokemon team alone. He presumably remains there for three years and is also revealed to have become so distant from his mom that he does not talk to her via phone anymore.

When the player character gets the opportunity to go to Kanto after defeating the Elite Four and Champion Lance, they can visit Red's house in Pallet Town with his mom greeting them and then telling them Red has been away for a long and that he hasn't called so she doesn't know where he is or what he's doing. She also reveals she worries about him, even though people say that no word is proof is he's doing fine. Talking to her again has her commenting that she worries about Red getting hurt or sick but he's a boy and she also voices her pride at the fact he's doing what he wants to do.

Upon gaining access to Mt. Silver after collecting all 16 Gym Badges from both the Johto and Kanto regions, the player character can make their way through the mountain and ultimately challenge Red to a battle with Red disappearing whenever he's defeated.

He has Pokémon similar to Ash of the anime (except for the fact that all three starters are fully evolved compared to Ash only having one fully evolved).

### Black 2 and White 2

In *Black 2 and White 2*, Red finally returns to public life when he participates in the Pokémon World Tournament. Meaning he has appeared in at least one game in all generations, except for the sixth and eighth generations in which he didn't reappear (We will have to wait and see if Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl / Legends: Arceus gives us a surprise).

### Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon

When the player character first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and will battle one of them. After Red or Blue has been properly defeated, Red will reward the player by giving them a full set of Kanto starter Mega stones, allowing the player to Mega Evolve the Kanto starters in their party.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Red who is now visibly older and wearing a new set of clothes travels to Alola along with Blue, the two former Champions having been invited to work as bosses of Alola's Battle Tree.

### Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

Red can be battled at the top of the Indigo Plateau, near the entrance after defeating at least 6 Master Trainers with the player character also having six Pokemon in their party.

Similarly to *HeartGold and SoulSilver*, Red will rematch the player when he/she beats the Elite Four.

Unlike the original games, Red like Blue completed their journeys and even defeated the Elite Four years before the player character began their journey. He can be challenged to a battle and like all the Master Trainer battles in Let's Go, Pikachu and Let's Go, Eevee, the player must defeat Red without using any Items from their bag.

Upon being defeated, Red grants the player the title of Battle Master before leaving. Like the other games, he will reappear for a rematch every time the player has successfully beaten the Elite Four.
