[@cumbertheevilsayain1022]

Snarby ikr? I get a weird feeling from it all the time!

[@techmo8397]

Snarby I got a good Idea!! Probably never going to happen, but it'd be cool if red actually used the exact same Pokemon you used when you played as red to defeat the champion. Like if you have the original game or the remake on your 3ds completed, it would find that data and base the fight off of YOUR PREVIOUS pokemon. Stats and all. That would be so dope

[@Benderofdemise]

Jonathan Vallejo99 that would be easy cause, I was six. I had a blast oise, victreebel, raichu, golbat that I can remember pokemon blue version.

Jonathan Vallejo99 That’s a really cool idea.

[@master2213]

No fuck that. I had Pikachu, Charizard, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Mewtwo.

[@henryknippling2408]

I just realized the reason red has three dots before the fight, is because he’s waiting for you to say something, because everyone he’s fought before has said something before the fight. And the reason he doesn’t say anything after is because he whited out. Like you do when you lose a fight in red and blue.

[@mauricioaguilar7227]

But theres a diferent context betwen games, in gen 2 it was a 100% serious battle against the champion of kanto to test strenght, so a serious ambience and encounter. In Unova it was a tournament so a more "formal" and fast encounter. And Alola is basically: "Hey pal, we are in vacations but that doesn't mean we gonna go easy on you" so is a more casual theme. In short, Doesn't need to be serious every theme that Red appears.

Where was Red's strong Pokemon level from G/S/C and/or HeartGold/SoulSliver. Man, they nerf him down. I just hope that in future Pokemon games, he becomes way stronger than before or at least have the level from Heart Gold and Soul Sliver.

Red got weaker after Pokémon soul silver and heart gold (where he was the true test of a trainers strength),but he was still very hard in black and white 2

[@CloudyNight2156]

Part of the excuse is weaker Red is the one from the mega evolution dimension were Oak created the Pokedex two years after Red had won the championship. Without the need to hunt for ever single pokemon, Red didn't get as much battle experience and suffered in this dimension as a result.

No, wrong they destroyed red after SoulSilver.

[@vedaryan334]

Red was strong mostly because of the huge level jump. Otherwise it was pretty easy. I played a rom hack of soulsilver called StormSilver, which in general is hard af, but kept the same red team with better movesets , levels and ai. And besides grinding, you can easily take out his team with Pokemon around ~4 levels lower than him. Which is for the rom hack. I'm pretty sure og soulsilver you can beat red with around 70 lvl Pokemon but then it will definitely feel like a good fight. Which is great but just increasing the level curve isn't a good style of difficulty Unlike Cynthia, which , without fairy types, at around the same levels , is pretty hard to deal with, especially in platinum

Gen 5 really has the most iconic graphics. I love the sprites and when they got animations i was so blown away. Heartgold and soul silver are still my favorite games. Gen 2 was the best one and i loved the red fight in that one.

[@ElTigreDelNorte_]

I find the GSC animation for Psychic to be so cool and my favorite throughout the series same with any of the beam moves. The sounds of them to me sound so cool and the beams really sound like your Pokémon just popped off and went for the kill lol

[@108dfrex2]

I want SS and HG red back

[@fingolfin3439]

Controller Rex then go buy it

[@solarpatchkids9739]

$29.99

SS/HG was the best game in my opinion

[@legendMarl]

😂😂

[@somewhereinsouthamerica5829]

1:52 Gen 2 psychic was in my opinion the best even to this day. Almost as if the move distorts reality while inflicting damage. Then add a super effective sound+full screen shake+plus the slow health bar glitch. Just perfect.

[@SignalRaptor_]

You know you got nerfed when they cut your theme from your fight.

[@SchumiJr.]

3:48 that critical was fenomenal! I love typhlosion

The psychic animation and sound was Badass back then.

[@Adakiyus]

Red is so cool man. Definitely my favorite protagonist with green and blue

[@s.inn_]

lmfao this happened today: My friend: Nerf isn’t a real thing. Its just an excuse for your favorite characters. Me *pulls up every battle with Red in games* My friend: But... Red’s Mega Evolution... MewTwo... Mew...?!

[@jerstumc5033]

How was it possible that many people didn't think that red was atop that mountain but they knew that HEART GOLD And SOUL SILVER were remakes of crystal, gold and silver from the GBC

[@jangchangplay]

Once in a lifetime, you come across one person for whom no words are necessary. You both just understand.

[@SussusAmogus-r4o]

this man completed all of this and got to red in all those game while somehow resisting the temptation to give his pokemons their own names. respect

[@user-tw2ij7ss2t]

People complaining about Red being nerfed in Sun/Moon obviously didn't try facing him for real in the Super Battles.

[@ShadowSpace56z]

Dude Red was more O.P in older gens .... than these ne games they nerfed him in super battle .. literally.. he's alot easier to defeat in new gen pokemon games

[@latenightswurmy6805]

Redx. Flare that’s why new Pokemon games are shit 👏

[@xiesie_xiesie]

Sure

[@LJSW12]

I stopped playing Pokemon after Gold (can't even remember this fight) so didn't realise Red was this absolute monster of a trainer. The theme song in HG / SS gave me chills. So intimidating and intense, like you know you're fighting an impossible battle.

[@ChromedRaZoR]

If you go talk to red in the alola region AFTER you face him in the battle tree then he'll give you alot of mega stones. Mainly based around the pokemon he used throughout the years

[@leonardofarias8843]

The original protagonist almost always comes back and his power is unparaleled

[@chuggaa100]

Leonardo Farias No though? I cannot think of an instance where that happens. You literally beat Red every time he shows up.

[@colonel1003]

Mr. ElectriDictator first that’s *you* beating him not the other protagonists and second it’s not canon if he actually fought them

[@Shelling_Ford]

The original one is by hands down the best red theme

[@plumtheking]

Title: Evolution of Pokemon Trainer Red Battles (2000 - 2017) Me: Best to Worst Red Battles (2000 - 2017)

[@NightNinja]

Man, it's a real shame how little tension the sun and moon battle has. I feel like even with the jump in graphics they could have EASILY still made red this mysterious and intimidating trainer that he was in the others, guess they just didn't feel like it. I guess to me it just sort of feels like a diservice to his chatracter for it to be such a laid back and chilled out fight.

[@SuPaRn0oB]

its really only laid back because they're on vacation. Red and Blue aren't taking the battle seriously because they're just battling you for funsies.

[@hctv8320]

I love gen 2 so much. The memories man, the memories.

[@hectorthe501st]

The real reason why Red is so strong is because he did the MissigNO glitch back in RGBY and the sixth item of his bag was a rare candy

[@jerstumc5033]

I can't understand could you explain to me more about this?

[@OncleS.A.M]

In the original games there is a glitch that you can perform that duplicates to a crazy amount the 6th item in your bag. Also it lets you catch " Missigno " ( or Missing Number ) with is a glitch pokémon that has the 000 slot in the Pokédex.​@@jerstumc5033

[@GhengizKanye]

>gengar held on using its focus sash >Gengar was buffeted by Hail >Gengar fainted

[@redshirt2031]

I miss the days when people barely had Internet. You had no clue what to find or expect. Took me a very long time to even find Red. Also my pkmn gold casette is kinda special, somehow I found a red Kingdra in the game, as in red skin instead of the usual blue. Am I the only one who has found some weird nonshiny colorpattern Pokemon in a normal way?

[@ischavandevoort9875]

It feels so good when you defeat red in the originals/HG and SS because the battles are actually pretty hard

[@Hoezi02]

I love the original GSC, but i gotta admit, they did one hell of job on the HGSS theme.

[@vaporterra]

This always will be one of my favorite Pokémon moments

[@sotassotas4800]

i stil get the chills. When you talk to Red, those dots and champion music. Shit fuckin nintendo knows what they are doing since then

[@OwenGTA]

first one never ceases to give me chills

[@TrooperClerk]

[@RedRulesEndiosau139]

The last Pokémon game ever will be one based on Red, like the original games👌

[@alexandrucalciu4806]

Gustavo Guzman Almanza you have no way of knowing it..

[@5yearsago404]

Gustavo Guzman Almanza maybe

[@flappyturtle472]

+Alexandru Calciu he was fucking right tho, holy shit

[@ToonRaider]

Flappy turtle no he wasn't. The new one may be somewhat of a reimagining of Yellow, and from that you can say he's Red, but Yellow is more or less based off the anime. But alright, we'll give it to you and say it's Red in his entirety in Yellow. That doesn't mean that Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are the last Pokémon games to be released EVER, as the original commenter said. But still, I get what you were saying, you just didn't explain your point.

[@flappyturtle472]

+ToonRaider yea i wasnt very serious

[@ma8ico]

Red's Epicness is still unreached

[@Dannykid8]

I know Red is a different character from Ash. But when your a kid and you first run into this guy let me tell you, this definitely feels like your fighting Ash and growing up watching the show everyday after school, this was a huge rush for me as a kid.

[@Daniel_Rodrigues_89]

Well, people love to say that but honestly, from somebody who saw Pokemon become a thing during the 90s, Ash IS Red's counterpart for the animation, obviously. Same story, roughly same design, same everything. They established him as a "separate character" of sorts much later, and even so, it's not as if they shared the same universe anyways. No wonder they decided to give Red a Pikachu in the games' universe.

[@DarkCloudLightFF7DCL]

There is something sad about watching Red lose so many times- like it was crazy as a kid as I lost to him a few times before beating him- though something about Red staying campion feels right

[@nostalgiaoverload9323]

It feels weird since Red was the first protagonist I played as. I’m 22 in college now and it’s like....watching him lose is like watching myself lose lol

[@iamjohnporter67]

GSC Red: .... HGSS Red: ....! BW 2 Red: ..... ..... SUMO and USUM Red: .......?!

[@alexts7872]

A great idea would be in hgss if you had inserted fire red or leaf green in your ds you could fight you own team(and your name written) which you had on your fire red copy but if you didnt have fire red or leaf green you could fight red with his normal team.

[@franciscorubalcaba861]

Na that's stupid

[@ani3168]

Hgss didn't have limits, they showed how powerful red can be without any damn restrictions every member is in the level 80-90 group when you've probably only had your STARTER reach level 66 by then Worst one definitely s/m and us/um nerfed the guy so damn hard

[@cubeonguitar]

Instead of "You are challenged by Pokémon Trainer Red", it should be "You challenged Pokémon Trainer Red" since your challenging him, you the player interacts with him to fight, he has no intention of fighting but you the player wants to fight.

[@sweetman6685]

Red rlly played himself at the beginning with that sunny day lol.

[@lawlestest]

0:15 right in the feels.

[@asscrumbsmcbumski8369]

Tbh Red's team was one of my favorites, only due to the kanto starters. I plan to get this game and use Gengar, Rydon, Shiny Venusaur, Shiny Charizard, Shiny Blastoise, and either Dragonite or Snorlax

[@fancypotato1873]

That Crystal battle was beautifully executed!

[@S4KMANIA]

that moment when the champion music is well known, not because of the champion battle, but because of an unrelated battle post-game

[@shironium]

I'm just glad that you can atleast see Red (and Blue in Sun and Moon) in the later versions of pokémon. I know they nerfed Red and his pokémons alot, but just think about it this way, Red just became very rusty after all this time.

[@designate_om]

Or his pokemon just got old

[@iiokrammii693]

you know, when I saw the red fight in pokemon sun and moon, how he aged but was still silent, I kinda felt bad for red. Idk why. I just felt really sorry for him.

[@seanathonhooper]

Videogamer54 Mii Because they nerfed tf outta him

[@prakshep-lifeisawesome3828]

At the last battle, Red realised how Ash felt while battling Tobias😂

[@shinylugia7052]

Why does red even have a talking animation in sun/moon/ultra sun/ultra moon?

[@nintendopower2374]

Shiny Lugia because he's red

[@danyyeltr4803]

Because he does talk, they just don't write dialogue for him

[@GilangPranoto]

Sound of Slience

[@xyzzy-dv6te]

@DanyyelTR Red speaks "Go, [pokemon name]" when sending out a Pokemon in RGBY/FRLG

[@fridaynightnicktoons6885]

Your profile name and picture is awesome

[@Pinnuck]

man the memories of red in HG and SS are amazing i havent played the newer version of the game but he doesnt fele as intimidating or powerful as the older games

[@Dangansona]

I hate battling Red, because whenever I see anyone vs him, including myself lol. I'm always rooting for him to win.

[@nostalgiaoverload9323]

I don’t even get mad when I lose to him because I’ve used every one of his Pokémon in my play through of red and leaf green, so it still feels like I’m winning oddly enough.
