Within the Battle Tree itself, Red could be faced as a boss in Single Battles or teaming up with Blue in Multi Battles. |

In ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'', Red appeared as the last trainer whom players battle in the combined Gym Leader Castle. In ''[[Pokémon Colosseum]]'' and ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'', Red or Leaf appeared as the player's avatar when playing Battle Mode with a ''FireRed'' or ''LeafGreen'' game connected, depending on the gender chosen by the player. Additionally, one trailer for ''[[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]'' featured a battle between Red (using [[Deoxys]] in Attack Forme and [[Wailord]]) and Leaf (using [[Groudon]] and [[Pikachu]]), although the two were absent from the final game. | In ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'', Red appeared as the last trainer whom players battle in the combined Gym Leader Castle.

− | Red | + | Red and Leaf also appeared in ''[[Pokémon Masters EX]]''. Each of them formed parts of playable sync pairs that could be recruited at random through the game's Sync Pair Scout feature. First, Leaf and Eevee were made available starting in January 2020. Starting in August 2020, Sygna Suit variants of Red with Charizard and Leaf with Venusaur were first made available throughout limited time periods. Each of their Pokémon were capable of Mega Evolving through sync moves, with Red's Charizard becoming Mega Charizard X. A version of Red in his normal outfit (from ''FireRed''/''LeafGreen'') paired with a Snorlax was made available during limited time periods starting in September 2021, with the Snorlax possessing a [[Dynamax|Gigantamax]] factor. |
− | + | In keeping with Red's depiction in the main games, Red was depicted as being silent at most times in this game, aside from laughing and making reaction noises. There were some rare instances of him having some dialogue such as during his Sync Pair Story, when he briefly spoke to [[Flint (Pokemon)|Flint]] just to tell him that words were unnecessary, and Flint was left stunned by hearing Red speak. As for Leaf, she was depicted as a fellow inhabitant of Pallet Town who went on her own journey at the same time as Red and Blue. | |
− | + | Within the PML Arc of game's Main Story, Red and Leaf were both shown to have made it to the finals of [[Pokémon Masters League]] tournament, and Red was mentioned as having been a past opponent of [[Lear]]'s. Being defeated by Red in the past (after Red showed up at Lear's homeland during his travels) was what part of the reason why Lear started the PML, as an avenue in which he could get back at Red. Leaf made an appearance in Chapter 23, where she had a practice match with [[Elesa]] and helped [[Valerie]] to realize the feeling of being a Pokémon. It was ultimately shown that Red, Leaf and Blue made up a team together, and they were the last opponents faced in Chapter 30 of the Main Story, in the final match of the PML tournament. It was shown that prior to the battle, Red spoke up in order to acknowledge Blue's desire to have a battle. Ultimately, Red's team lost the championship battle to [[Scottie/Bettie]]'s team, and Red spoke again to congratulate them. | |

In the game's Villain Arc, Red was featured in the initial chapter "Kanto: Team Rocket Returns". He had initially gone missing for several days after investigating Team Rocket's activities on Pasio, but he resurfaced and turned out to have taken out half of Team Rocket's forces before going into hiding to recover. Red proceeded to work together with Blue and the other trainers in several battles against Giovanni and Team Rocket. At one point, he Gigantamaxed his Snorlax in order to destroy Team Rocket's base. Ultimately, they were forced to let Giovanni and Mega Mewtwo Y get away, as every time they got an upper hand against him in battle, Giovanni would force Mewtwo to push against its limits even more, and they did not want Mewtwo to get seriously hurt. | In the game's Villain Arc, Red was featured in the initial chapter "Kanto: Team Rocket Returns".

− | In the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Red has appeared as a playable fighter and has been referred to solely as "Pokémon Trainer". Rather than being directly playable, the Pokémon Trainer stands in the background of stages and switches between three Pokémon who are actually the playable fighters: [[Ivysaur]], [[Squirtle]] and [[Charizard]]. He was initially featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and was left out of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'' (in favor of making Charizard into a solo fighter) before returning as an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

− | *In the ''Pokémon'' anime, | + | *In the ''Pokémon'' anime, Ash Ketchum is based on the character of Red. Like Red, Ash has a rival named Gary who is based on Blue, although the battles between Ash and Gary usually resulted in stalemates or victories for Gary, until Ash finally defeated him in the Silver Conference at the end of the series based on the second generation games. Ash also battled Team Rocket constantly, but he never had a final battle with Giovanni or got the organization to disband. Unlike Red, Ash also had traveling companions such as [[Misty]] and [[Brock]], and he was also known for his [[Pikachu]] that did not stay in a Poké Ball, which has been his only companion to remain with him throughout each series. Instead of the Elite Four, Ash competed in a tournament at Indigo Plateau which he lost. In later series, he continued to journey through [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]] and the [[Alola Islands]], and he usually gained new traveling companions for each region. He won the championship of the Orange Islands, a region created for the anime, and eventually became the champion of Alola. For the 2020 ''Pocket Journeys'' series, Ash travels between several regions, including [[Galar]], while competing in a world championship. |

− | *Red | + | *Red is featured in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, being the main character of the original ''Red''/''Blue''/''Green'' arc and playing important roles in later arcs. In this arc he has both a [[Bulbasaur]] as his starter Pokémon and a rebellious Pikachu that he tames, and with the help of Blue and Green, as well as the good gym leaders such as Brock, Misty, [[Erika]] and [[Blaine]], he defeats Team Rocket. Afterwards he wins the Pokémon League championship by defeating Blue and aids Blaine in capturing the rebellious [[Mewtwo]]. Afterwards in the ''Yellow'' arc he is challenged by [[Bruno]] of the Elite Four, but it is a trap and he is frozen by [[Agatha]], but freed by [[Giovanni]]. He shows up to help the other trainers with the final battles against the Elite Four and defeats Bruno. In the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc, he recovers from the partial paralysis caused by the freezing at Mt. Silver, and turns down the Viridian City gym leader position after winning it. He goes to Johto to battle [[Pryce|the Mask of Ice]] and then is dragged off by Gold to train with him. Misty and Yellow are established as his two potential love interests. Red is once more featured on an adventure with Blue, Green and company in the ''FireRed''/''LeafGreen'' arc. Though the trainers are all turned into statues at the end of the arc, they are restored by [[Jirachi]]'s wish near the end of the ''Emerald'' arc, leading to all of the ten Pokédex-bearing trainers uniting against [[Archie]] and his artificial [[Kyogre]]. His specialty among the Pokédex trainers is shown to be Pokémon battling. |
