The Pokémon Trainer returned in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

− | *In the | + | *In the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum is based on the character of Red. Like Red, Ash has a rival, Gary, who is based on Blue, although the battles between Ash and Gary usually result in stalemates or victories for Gary, until Ash finally defeats him in the Silver Conference. Ash is also battling Team Rocket constantly, but he never battles Giovanni and convinces him to reform. Unlike Red, Ash also has traveling companions such as [[Misty]] and [[Brock]], and he is also known for his [[Pikachu]] that does not stay in a Pokéball and has been the only companion to accompany Ash throughout every series. Instead of the Elite Four, Ash competes in a tournament at indigo Plateau and loses. The only championship that he's won has been in the Orange Islands, a region created for the anime. He continues to journey through [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]] and the [[Alola Islands]]. |

− | *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 Borck, 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. |
