Red is Depressing (Pokemon)
SPOILERS? Maybe?
Think about it. I just made it to Mt. Silver in Soul Silver, and I've seen Red (aka player character in the first gen games) at the peak of the mountain. Now I haven't fought him yet as he'd whoop my ass easy (his Pokemon are leveled in the 80s, with Pikachu at 88, my highest mon that I've trained is at 57), but from what I've read, he doesn't talk to you, you fight, and then just disappears. Let's take a look at Mt. Silver. Both characters are at the very peak of a mountain; it's freezing, snowing, and so high up that there's probably little oxygen. HGSS takes place three years after the first gen games. The implication is that Red has been up there alone for three years. But after you beat him, he just disappears. tldr; Red cut off all ties from his family and friends and trained on Mt. Silver. He froze to death and you fight his ghost. At least that's what I think. :/ IDK, just food for thought.

Maybe he jumps off the mountain and dies after you beat him.

An interesting subplot Twi, but I doubt that's the way Game Freak envisioned it.

Who said he stood up there for three years? Maybe he just got there...
...or we caught up with him because we've been spying on him for three years. 0_o |

You get to rematch him if you beat the Elite Four again.

I'll never look at Pokemon the same way again.

Beautiful Alakazam, beautiful.
If there was a clapping emote, I'd use it.

I mean ffs, you just said the Pokemon games have a good story. What you just came up with here is way better than anything I've ever seen out of the Pokemon franchise. EDIT: Thinking about it more, if your interpretation is right this means Red is the biggest idiot ever. How does he think becoming a Pokemon Master and defeating the Elite 4 WON'T make him famous?

There is a story to Pokemon, like Red's backstory and G/S's rival character being Giovanni's son. The story is just very subtle.

Wait, since when is Gold's Rival the son of Giovanni? And when does Red have backstory outside of his Dad being a Pokemon trainer?

It would be like if beat Mike Tyson in a fight, and then I was surprised the press covered it. |

By time Red got his fifth or sixth badge or started beating Team Rocket he should have backed off, if we were to believe your interpretation of his (lack of) character. |
