Are they canon?

What is a canon?

>>32064028
Pokemon canonically has a multiverse, so yes.

Red has a Pikachu and all three starters in Gold/Silver. So yeah.

>>32064028
No, they are Rocket

Pretty much this.

I have a friend who practically seethes with rage every time Ash Greninja is brought up, and I gotta constantly tell him, dude, Pokemon's been pulling shit like this since Gen 1. It's a multiverse. Let it go.

Its funny that Red was inspiration for Ash but later on Red from Yellow/GSC and so on was based on Ash's anime adventures

>>32064028
They were. They aren't anymore.

When Yellow was released, it replaced RGB in canon, as remakes do. That made them canon to the game universe, though they are completely different to their anime counterparts.
Then came FRLG, which replaced Yellow. They weren't present in the games, and the Red that appeared after that has been FRLG Red, so it's safe to assume Yellow has become officially non-canon.

So to answer the question, up to GSC, they were. Now, they aren't.

But HGSS Red STILL has pikachu

Your friend sounds autistic.

And? What does that have to do with anything? That's his team. It could be anything. It has nothing to do with version.

I doubt it, but in case you're being stupid enough to argue that Red's STARTER was Pikachu, that's wrong. Red had no canon team in RGBY or FRLG. His team can consist of anything. But unlike Red, Blue does have a canon team.

Blue's team in Yellow consists of Pokemon like Cloyster, Magneton, Sandslash and Ninetails. Those are Pokemon he never uses again. In FRLG/RGB however, his team consists of Pokemon like Arcanine, Gyarados, Pidgeot and Rhydon. This is team, however, returns. This is definitive proof that Yellow is non-canon.
