Please explain. He doesn't even run a good team.
Muh genwun
>>32019011
>pics probably made by women who want to fuck red
>Muh manchildren
Ok so imagine sun and moon red.
Now imagine him without a shirt on.
Thats why
>>32019052
It's also people who use the term Ashnime and are mad that Ash doesn't always win and naturally compare to player controlled Red, who always wins.
>>32019061
Pretty much everyone calls the pokémon anime Ashnime bro, don't go making assumptions where there is nothing to assume.
>>32019011
>He doesn't even run a good team
Of all the things about Red that more then anything else bothers me the most. Give the man a solid team Game Freak.
>>32019065
>/vp/ autists = everyone
You need to get out more.
>>32019011
>edgelord who doesn't speak
>is considered the strongest trainer ingame
it's obvious
>>32019011
People thinking that being taciturn = intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor
>>32019065
>pretty much everyone
aka people on this board
>is the original protagonist
>was originally the strongest NPC Trainer of all, though other surpass him in terms of teams, movesets and items, he still has better levels regardless
>infinitely more successful than his Anime Counterpart, Ash
>is canonically someone who doesn't say much if anything at all which makes him seem like a cool badass
>Fujoshits
There you go, OP.
It looks cool?
>>32019129
He has autism
>>32019011
Assuming you're not just trolling, watch Pokemon Origins. That's the reason I have a "hard-on" for red. It gave a more authentic feel to pokemon for me and actually reignited my interest in it.
>>32019339
>He thinks Pokemon Origins was good.
>>32019339
But Origins Red has a bland personality and is merely a vehicle for his Charizard to take the spotlight.
>>32019011
literally muh genwun
>>32019432
>Even Red needs to suck the orange lizard cock
Lucario really isn't that bad when you put him next to Charizard
>>32019441
Lucario is the In-lore Poster boy for Mega Evolution.
So eehhh, kinda just as bad.
>>32019339
This for me too. I liked Red in Generations. He was strong willed and stubborn trainer fixated on winning. Literally the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word "trainer" is Origins Red.
Yes, I don't like Red either.
At least in SM he looks ok, and not like an autistic edgelord as he is depicted in pretty much every fanart.
>>32019052
>this
people fail to realize just how many tumblrina hambeasts love red
>>32019103
You gonna look like a basement dweller that hasn't gotten out of the internet for too long if you use that word
>>32019129I prefer shotas, and crossdressing
t, fujo
>>32019061
But why not other protag? Back when I was a kid I treat him like a god or something, but as I got older I see him a bit overated, Iconic, but overated and start to less become a red fan as years go by.
>>32019011
Red has a better design than most, his journey was the simplest and trainer-like without being involved in some chosen one bullshit, he doesn't waste time playing around with friends and just does literally everything on his own, even taking on actual murderers. All of that apparently with a team of mostly shitmons, but shitmons he shares a close connection with.
He's literally the image of a trainer. The ideal version of a trainer everyone has in their mind. This is literally all he cares about. He does what he loves to do. He's not forced to save the universe, he isn't chosen to be a hero or chases after a Green haired faggot, he doesn't have a loli he loves. He is a trainer and cares about batttles, and is dedicated to just this one thing. That's it.
It's not hard to image why he would be popular. I'd compare his popularity to that of Goku or other characters of that sort. They're simple in nature, but the dedication and how they do this one thing makes them look "cool", like a hero. At least that's my reason for liking him.
>>32020287
Red being your character from kanto is so stupid, the point of pokemon is that you go on your own adventure and that you catch and discover your own team
Red seems like it's saying that there should be a canon team which is retarded. Red's entire exsistince is retarded.
>>32020474
I don't know what to say about that, honestly.
Personally, I don't care. I'm almost glad he has a canon team. You can still catch and use any Pokemon in Kanto. You don't have to use that team. It's like giving a protagonist a canon name or appearance. It's not going to dictate what name you should choose for your character or how you decide to use the customization.
>>32020474
I actually agree. I dislike when people talk about protags and how apparently all their actions in a game are all "canon". This is why I like the manga/anime. Because they give the protags other goals rather than just base it off what we do in games. Red however is the only protag that I can accept becoming "canon". I hope GF never trys to do that again.
he's the only player character to canon get his ass kicked, right?
>>32019052
>>32019914
girls can be manchildren too
I prefer this anon, yeah it's an asshole but, at least he is really handsome and can talk.
The pic is an official promotional art from Pkmn generations.
>>32020622
I like them both together. Blue in HGSS, where he wasn't with Red, was the most boring Blue has ever been for me. I don't even know why, but it just feels wrong.
>>32020573
That's like saying girls can rape or be sexist. They can't.
>>32020622
he doesn't use charizard, that alone makes him superior
He has the strongest team in the history of the Pokemon games
>>32019061
>people who use the term Ashnime
I hate those autist. I don't even care about the anime but that nomenclature is mongoloid.
>>32019061
Nigga I hate redgelord and the ashnime
>>32020826

>>32019061
People who think little of the anime just call it the ashnime on this board. Most of those people probably don't care if ash wins or not,. that's mostly people who are actually fans of the show.
>>32020826
Why is Special Red best Red by far?
>>32019494
>Lucario is the In-lore Poster boy for Mega Evolution
and yet Charizard has two
>>32019011
Its the mc of the games people played and you usually get attached to those, unless you're a /vp/ contrarian. As for the team remark, that's irrelevant, all ingame characters are bad at that.
And as for why he's treated like a badass, its what happens when the most recognizable human character in the franchise is the worst fictional character pretty much anything feels badass. If that bothers you, its up to you to help change who the most recognizable character is.
>>32020196
>red
>overrated
He's the first mc of the first product of the main product line if the franchise. He's not even close to what others would get in that position. Red is far from overrated. I do agree the other protags deserve recognition tho. All do.
>>32019090
Ash is technically more edgy tha red. Red speaks btw.
>>32020474
>Red's entire exsistince is retarded.
How do you propose playing gen 1 without an mc?
