Red foresaw that Indonesia would eventually be one of the settings of the game and be like "nope".

He never even speaks to any of those people, he's like Ryu, hermitmaxxing to ensure he stays at the top of his game undistracted by w*men

you can never truly be the master of pokemon if you let things like friends and mom take time out of your day

he was locked in, nothing wrong with that

>>734150143
>friends
Such as
>mom
He never talks to her

>>734150143
>none of his pokemon know fly or teleport.
Not only does he not even make an effort to go see his mom or Professor oak. He probably has to walk down that mountain every day just to get supplies.

>There's an old Chinese saying that goes: "A wandering mind finds no solace except afar". What it means is that someone who resigns from normal society naturally gravitates toward remote and distant places. Snake, no one has seen Red for three years... be careful while exploring up in those mountains, all right?

>>734150143
Presumably, characters do other shit when you're not actually in a battle with them.

Is masters ex good?

>>734150726
Professor oak? All the Gym leaders he met? His neighbor?

As if you hung around Red's friends or mom when it was you behind the wheel in Red/Blue/Yellow. He's just acting out his character pitch perfectly.

>>734150726
>Such as?
Gary,Oak, Bill, the Fighting type gym, the cruise ship guy and I think theres someone else im forgetting

>>734150143
He was unironically autistic

>>734150143
he's not there when you aren't there, you just happen to run into each other there every time you go there

>>734150143
>after kicking the shit out of everyone in his region he retires to a mountaintop to train his pokemon.
>Doesn't go off to new regions to find new challenges

Is Red retarded?

>>734152216
>>Doesn't go off to new regions to find new challenges
He does though.
He's in the PWT of bw2 and Alola.

>>734152341
He probably only went to Alola because Blue forced him to leave.

>>734152216
He already beat Johto region before you and your rival. He just didn't bother with being the champion. That's the suggested lore. He's monk-maxing in the mountains, typical martial arts meme in Japan for a person to become a "mountain hermit" for a while to train in the wilderness to become one with nature to gain its strength basically and isolate themselves from other distractions to gain peak enlightenment. Hahaha, the word plays write themselves. You zoomers who don't understand shinto/buddhist/martial arts themes just don't get Japanese culture and references like this.

>>734152341
In fact in Alola he's there with his old friend and it seems they are just on vacation when the tournament was happening.

>>734150143
He was on a training voyage. He did it to be able to endure harsh fighting conditions. Even Lance was jealous of this, which made him want to push himself and his Dragonite through endurance training.
t. Pokemon Masters lore

He also clearly didn't stay there his whole life, because he comes back in USUM and doesn't look like some hobo. Why do people exaggerate like he lived on the mountain? Ryu does the same shit in Street Fighter, and he actually looks like a hobo.

>>734152216
he does, that's what he's doing when you're not fighting him on the mountain. what, do you think he just sits there 24/7?

Don't be so retarded

>>734152563
Like I said, he probably has to come down from the top of mount silver every few days or so to go to the pokemon center and get supplies like food. The best possible location he could go would be Viridian where he could meet with his friends and his mom is right around the corner.

I knew they'd have trouble explaining him but come the fuck on.

ORAS and SM have established basically that every player's save file is an alternate timeline.

how does anyone, zoomer or no, look at that nu-Red and think it's an improved design?

I don't get what you mean.

Hasn't it always been GF's position that the remakes are part of a different universe (that became the 'main' universe as of XY) to explain shit like megastones?

>>734154071
Where does that Red design even come from? I've never seen it before. It doesn't look like the FRLG design or the Let's Go design.

Tbf nu-Red is supposed to be a gacha alt outfit to match his Charizard's mega with its EX color scheme. It just kinda became his default outfit in that game because it was his first and Charizard outfit.

The fuckers literlly couldnt stop themselves, could they?
Never mind the fact that Red is supposed to have Venusaur, Pikachu I get. But fucking Lizardon? fuck off.

>>734154649
goes hard as fuck but the color scheme is carrying

>>734150143
Red should've had a team of all level 100s, to show he reached the plateau of his strength.

Pokemon Masters.

Wow yeah that actually does look pretty good, looks horrible in his original color scheme though.

Its original Sugi artwork Red turned 3D for Pokemon Masters celebration of the 30th anniversary.

>>734154768
It isn’t manga Red

>>734155236
Red has Venusaur in Let's Go PE and I think in promotional art for RBY, he otherwise usually just has all three

Red saw
>The ghost of a dead Marowak
>Team Rocket selling Pokemon out of a casino
>The Mewtwo diaries
And decided to take a break from society.

Also happened to be reminded of this particular piece of fanart. The games weren't even consistent about his outfit back then!

>>734155236
Red picked Bulbasaur in the RB manual and all the promo art.
He has all three in GS (+ snorlax and lapras), meaning I suppose yellow is somehow canon.

Eitherway Red never had any sort of special connection to charizard and it's purely retroactive due to it popularity and you all know it.
