He's only playable in the first generation of games and the remakes, but he does appear in Red, Blue and Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal, Heart Gold and Soul Silver, and Black 2 and White 2. He's also a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Stadium (japanese), and Stadium 2. Red is the most iconic member of the Pokemon franchise, often being appraised as the best Pokemon trainer ever. Ash Ketchum from the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon anime|anime]] is based off of this character.

He usually ends conversations with "Smell ya later!" He's a cocky, confident, and competitive young boy who seeks the same goals as Red. He has become the league champion for a short amount of time before Red claimed his spot. After the events of RBY, he took Giovanni's spot as the Viridian City Gym Leader. You can battle him in GSC and HGSS. He has no specific type, but hands you an Earth Badge anyways when you beat him. In GSC, he seems to had a change of personality by checking out the wreckage of [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar Island]] and saying, "Who are you? Well, it's plain to see that you're a trainer… My name's Blue. I was once the Champion, although it was for only a short time… That meddling Red did me in… Anyway, what do you want? You want to challenge me or something? …I hate to say it, but I'm not in the mood for a battle now. Take a good look around you… A volcano erupts, and just like that, a whole town disappears. We can go on winning and losing in Pokémon. But if nature so much as twitches, we can lose in a second. … That's the way it is… But, anyway, I'm still a trainer. If I see a strong opponent, it makes me want to battle. If you want to battle me, come to the Viridian Gym. I'll take you on then."
