Talk:Pokémon Trainer

I just call him Ash because i only see Ash when i look at the guy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.241.247.30 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Even though he looks nothing like Ash, nor does Ash have Squirtle or Ivysaur. Do you call Ike Roy also?- Gargomon251 22:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

The last I heard Ash does have a Squirtle. But, not with him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by God180 (talk • contribs) 22:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Dude, his name is Red! Any Pokmon fan that is geeky enough to actually reserch the offical names of the RPG Charecters would know that! He is based on The Fire red/Leaf Green version Red. Also, Red IS NOT Ash and likwise with Blue and Gary.--User:Mudkipz 13:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't a pokemon fan at the time of Red or Blue so i just call him pokemon trainer. Unless i'm fighting him then i just refer to the pokemon he's using at the time. At one point Ash did have a squirtle and a charizard but he never had them at the same time and he never had an ivysaur. Speaking of which wonder why they picked those three pokemon.

The reason why he has those 3 pokemon is because Squirtle is the 1st form(before evolution), Ivysaur is the 2nd form(after evolution), and Charizard is the 3rd form(after 1rst evolution).65.1.42.165 15:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't answer my question in any way. I'm asking out of all the hundreds of pokemon out of all the choices why they chose those 3 first generation pokemon only. Carbonkirby 19:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Maybe because they're easily recognizable franchise classics? I dunno...They're all very different in play style while sharing a common theme... - Gargomon251 23:14, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

• The Pokémon Trainer, canonically named Red, is the only character in the Super Smash Bros. series to date who appears as both a main protagonist and final boss in his own universe.

• This is not true When Mario first apeared in Donkey Kong he was the protagonist. But In DK jr he wasthe final boss.--Ouroborosi 21:04, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I just noticed something about the pictures of May and Brendan. They have two colors, one for R/S and one for Emerald. The pictures in the article show a R/S version of them- should we incluse both? Raiespio (talk) 03:51, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Settlement

Hey! I recently started playing the very first pokemon game, pokemon red. You know how there's a lot of controversy about whether he's ash or not? Well here's the answer: He is. And he's also red. You see, like many RPGs at the time, in Pokemon Red, you can name your character any one of a group of given names. One of the names is Red, and another is Ash. Also, at the begining, you can choose your first pokemon from a group of three. Guess what they are: Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charamander. There. I hope I have settled the controversy around this guy. 98.117.158.220 01:19, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, that's not good enough proof. As far as we know, the option "Ash" as a name could be a reference to Ash from the TV show (since we all know kids would go nuts to name their guy the same as the famous guy without having to know how to spell it). And just because PT fights with the Kanto starters doesn't mean one of them is his starter (although it's likely) - he could have traded for them, for example.

You probably don't understand what I was trying to say. Here's what I meant:

1. It's OK to call the PK trainer "Ash", as he is.
2. I also was simply explaining the reason why those three pokemon were chosen.
