Oh how I miss him.
>>59024377in theory the sm appearance was cool and in practice it RUINED EVERYTHING
>>59024377How do you want him to reappear? As the male protagonist in a game, as a final boss, as an opponent in a tournament, or what?
>>59024377>>59025639As the protagonist in a Legends game, my idea: he got separated from his original Team from HGSS, and now they are like Alpha Pokemon bosses that are bringing havoc, so he has to caught them again: Gmax PikachuMega Charizard XGmax SnorlaxMega VenusaurGmax LaprasMega Blastoiseall as bosses, it would feel like a more personal goal
>>59024377Fanart Red has never left us
>>59025731I'd say edgelord pixiv Red is pretty much dead.
>>59025818>edgelord pixiv Redwhat this mean?
>>59026858Pixiv Red is a fan interpretation that was popular to draw before XY was released.
>>59027407Pixiv Red is actually similar to SM Red in terms of personality but is differentiated from the other versions of Red because of his somber aura and crimson eyes.
>>59027418And his hair is never drawn spiky for some reason unlike every other version of Red
>>59027472Because he's based on popular male character trends of the time. Pokemon was always mainstream but in the period from gen 3 to gen 5 the fan base had a more otaku vibe than it does now.
>>59024377>>59027472>>59028004if GF really wanted Red to look different to Ash for some reason, i would have rather him to look similar to pixiv Red instead of just give him brown hair
>>59027407Anyone know what prompted this artistic take? Was it just one artist that started drawing Red this way, and it caught on? Or was it just because of this? >>59028004
>>59029425Probably Red on Mt Silver in gen 2.
>>59029425>popular trend like that anon said>his stoic face on his GSC sprite>"...">he takes Pokemon seriously unlike that loser Ashmost likely a combination of all of these
>>59024377Redgy was always just a funny thing but I miss OG/96 Red. His redesign for FRLG missed all the nuances of what little character he had.
>>59030425>>59030524So why did artists stop drawing him this way. Was it because of his updated appearance in Gen 7?
>>59031339That and Pokemon Origins giving Red a defined personality that was more expressive while still being distinct from Ash
>>59031339The trend had started dying down by then, and yea his gen 7 appearance gave people more to work with.
>>59031339>>59031370Pixiv is way less popular than it was in the past and SM Red also took his place and has the same type of fanart.
>>59024377Pixiv Red reminds me a lot to Toshiyuki Karasawa from Danshi koukousei no nichijou aaand the prince of tenis
>>59024407Why? I thought it was neat.
