The question is... why his pokeball is always hovering? does he has telekinesis like Erika?

>>57200945
are you on fucking drugs

>>57200929
The implications being..?

>>57200888
Kids had higher testosterone at the time so this is what they thought looked cool.

>>57200888
he sure looks like the kind of punk that swears a lot

>>57200888
Consequence of everyone thinking he was a mute emo from his gen 2 appearance which influenced how he appeared going forward. A good portion of his gen 1 art had him being a lot more emotive

Agreed, but in-game he looked uninterested or bored.
He's also taller than Green which I thought was interesting.

Red's slouching a little and his head's down. If he stands up straight, he's taller.

Originally, Red was an avatar. Like most silent protagonists, he was silent and had a neutral expression so you could project yourself onto him.

In Gen 2, they fucked it up by making him literally silent.

>>57201871
Except it's confirmed even in Gen 1 that he likes to talk, and we see him being the same chatty fuck in Alola. Gen 2 he's just surprised by some random asshole coming up and interrupting his training.

He talks in Alola?

>>57201898
he does in masters

Red talks a few times, he talks to the Copycat in Saffron, and has a couple random lines in Masters. Otherwise he just sort of stands there like a retard.

This, Johto ruined an otherwise basic character by trying to make him into this Persona reject with red eyes.

But only very very rarely, almost never.

He also has talked about his father being a power pros fan

>>57202148
His dad being a Japanese baseball player would explain why he's never around honestly.

Could Red ironically been the most talkative protagonist of pokemon?

>>57202420
If we're not counting Masters then he's around 2nd or 3rd. Ethan/Gold actually has a shitton of lines when talking to Pokemon and about random shit like looking in a mirror.

Most of the protags have dads, we just don't see them because they have non-Pokemon jobs. Norman is only important because he's a Gym Leader.

What do you think about this headcanon?:
Prior GSC/HGSS and after RGBY/FRLG Red was like Volkner, he felt bummed and dejected because he was unbeateable, and he felt bored because there was no real challenge for him anymore...

>>57203219
*unbeatable, sorry

I think that's the pretty obvious subtext of it all

he was at the only place with the highest level of challenge and yet it still wasn't enough

it's easy to believe he cares about nothing but battle and meaningful victories

>>57200888
Probably to make him look "cool", I dunno.

>>57203219
I'd like to think that, but he could have went to other regions, which we see him do later. I think he was mostly trying to hit Lv. 100 and it was the easiest place to do so.

With that said Volkner should have been the Champion for Platinum, missed opportunity.
