So why did he go to Mt. Silver?
To learn the truth about despair.
>Captured Mewtwo after becoming champ
>Tried to befriend it and eventually broke through its icy shell
>He along with Blue and Lance worked together to track down Giovanni and eliminate the Team Rocket remnants in Kanto
>Eventually realized Mewtwo's history and the reason it was so violent and angry
>Red gets pissed, he and Mewtwo go on a warpath to take down Giovanni
>Giovanni gets the fuck out of Kanto
>Disgusted by humans and pokemon battling he releases Mewtwo to let it experience freedom and then goes to Mt Silver to meditate or whatever
I always chalked it up to Red looking for a challenging opponent.
Seeing as you had to earn 16 badges to enter Mount Silver, anyone who manages to make the climb to the top is going to be worth Red's time.
I like to stick to that headcanon, anyway
>>25631844
Well, thats not too far away from the once headcanon notion that Gym leaders adjusted their parties and how intensely they battled based on how many badges their opponent already had.
Then Origins went and confirmed it.
To find a decent place to level his pokemon
>>25631864
That's not edgy enough, anon. Try again.
>>25631890
to find a decent place to level his pokemonvia means of yiffing
>>25631751
To be better than everyone.
>>25631842
Except Giovanni in the games had nothing to do with Mewtwo at all.
>Red defeats the elite four
>Captures Mew Two
>What about Mew.jpg?
>Spends years roaming every patch of thick grass and every slightly cavernous stretch of Kanto
>No luck
>Starts to cripple under his own expectations
>Can't face Prof. Oak
>Blue, becoming satisfied with his roll in the universe becomes just as well mannered and respectful as his grandfather.
>Starts banging Red's mom
>Can't go home again
>Desperate and neurotic, Red retreats to Mt. Silver.
>He waits there patiently, knowing only trainers worth their salt could reach him.
>And maybe someday that trainer will have it... what he's looking for.
Having no sense of direction after fulfilling Oaks dream of completing the Pokedex and becoming the Pokemon league champion, he runs off to the top of Mt. Silver because [/spoiler]it's so edgy and cool[/spoiler]. When he could have just went to other regions and capture more Pokemon, honestly.
>>25631917
Right, I forget about that because both the manga and anime did the whole team rocket thing
We're talking about Red, but honestly I'm more interested in this fucker
Cinnabar Island reveals him to be Dr. Fuji, which is indicated by checking a portrait of him on Cinnabar Island. My question is why did he leave Cinnabar for Lavender town? What purpose does being excited or bewildered seeing him so late into the game and why bring him up again if he isn't so important?
What's this niggers backstory?
mt silver has the highest leveled wild pokemon, so red went there to train because he's a trainer and that's what trainers do
pretty simple
>>25631751
It's his and Blue's main make out spot and you just happened to catch him waiting for Blue and Red had to make up an excuse on the fly so he says he was waiting for a challenger.
See they are trying to keep it a secret and no one would suspect the Viridian Gym Leader was ascending Mt. Silver to make out with his boyfriend.
Holy shit I should write this into a full story.
>>25631751
I feel as if Red was simply a complete and total dork who got too caught up in trying to be stronger and more capable that he forgot about everything else and didn't realize what he was doing.
He got too obsessed and didn't realize he was shutting everybody out of his life, including his own mother who he barely even called, causing her to worry.
>>25631976
Creating Mewtwo and then seeing whatever it did after being created gave him respect for life so he went to a spiritual place to help people and pokemon
>>25631976
>>25631751
Because he'll always be second best to you, Gold.
>>25631976
Fuji was a Pokémon reseacher who discover a Mew on Far away island, years ago.
>>25631751
To Train His Pokémon.
>>25631751
To hone his powers.
>>25631751
To be the very best, like no one ever was.also, to catch them - that was his real test, i guess
He was going to commit sudoku.
>>25632289
Mew wasnt discovered by Fuji. First one to ever see it, was Jessie's mother, Miyamoto, according to the Drama CD. Fuji was the principal researcher into Mewtwo's creation, probably alongside with Blaine (according to manga at least, no real prove about that). Miyamoto also, disappeared when she met Mew.
>>25631751
Who WOULDN'T go there? Place should be called EXP City
>>25631751
because edge
>>25635626
>Drama CD
Why did he disappear when you defeated him?
>>25635796
At least its canon, you know
Silent, Isolated and surrounded by powerful Pokemon that would wreck anyone who wasn't strong enough
Mt Silver is a Sanctuary for powerful trainers and Pokemon alike
>>25632001
so mr fuji/blaine cut of his moustache into 2 and paste it as eyebrows instead
>>25635908
>anime/movie/drama cd
>manga
>games
Those are three different canons though
>>25635805
Because he was you. He was your past self, the one who beat the league back in Gen 1 and ascended to become champion. At the climax of Gen 2, you must fight and defeat a representation of your past achievements.
>>25635805
When you lose a Pokemon Battle, you either white/black out, or scurry away to the Pokemon Center.
He serves as the "secret boss" archetype of jrpgs, pretty similar to what N is in bw2.
Sometimes I like to see N as Red's spiritual sucessor.
>>25631751
BECAUSE IT WAS THEREEEEEEEE
Well taking both the games and the ending to Origins at face value:
>Red beats the Elite Four
>Red catches all 150 Pokémon
>Red recalls reading about Mew in Pokémon Mansion
>Sets out on an epic adventure to try finding Mew that leads him all over the world and leaves several people, including his own mother wondering where Red is
>3 years later, Red has finally tracked Mew to Mt Silver
>Gets all the way up to the peak of Mt Silver but there's no Mew to be found
>Disappointed he turns to leave
>Just as he does this, Ethan, the new champion of Johto appears
The rest is common knowledge
>>25631751
>So why did he go to Mt. Silver?
To train?
>>25631751
To isolate himself from the normies.
>>25635805
>>25636001
>>25636036
>yfw Red was at the top of Mt. Silver because he couldn't find his way back down
>none of his Pokemon knew fly or rock climb so he was stuck there
>his Pokemon eventually grew too strong to be knocked out by any of the Pokemon on Mt. Silver
>Red stayed at the top of Mt. Silver waiting for the trainer that would beat his team and black him out back to the last Pokemon center he went to

THIS WAS THE ONLY THING THAT ANGERED ME ABOUT HG/SS, THE NAME RETCONS.

>>25639534
This.
Please learn the names. Its really not that Hard...they are on the cover of the game
>>25639578
I hope you enjoyed playing with either X or Y.
>>25631976
Many people died when Mewtwo left.
He went to Lavender Town for penance.
>>25631751
to train
>>25639602
I did
And all the others too
>>25631751
Because he's Redgy, he ain't gotta explain shit to the masses of plebians
>>25639534
>HIS
>NAME
>IS
>GOLD
He never had a name until HG/SS came along and named him Ethan.
Ethan is his one, true name
>>25631751
He's an edgelord.
Red is literally a kids devianart tier self-insert.
>>25639534
He didn't have a name before HGSS.
>>25639723
Do you even read yourself? Or you are just an average stupid
>>25631976
Lavender Town is the Florida of Pokemon. Things just go there to die.
>>25639897
His name was never Gold anon.
>>25636298
But you need to face N to progress in the post game, only way to get his legend and then Kyurem
And if you mean the Ferris Wheel fights, there was harder stuff in the game
>>25640100
You had to beat Red in HGSS to get the starters too, what's your point?
What does Red do after he gets beat?
>>25640210
>he gets beat
NOT CANON
>>25639534
>>25639723
>>25639768
>>25639946
My headcannon was that his first name is Ethan and his last name is Gold
Ethan Gold has a nice ring to it
>>25639499
Hmm. But didn't Red get all the TMs/HMs?
>>25639499
>DEEPEST LORE

This.
Same with every other protag. I assume Nate and Rosa have the same last name as Hilbert and Hilda (Black and White), but are just unrelated.

amateur hour here
>>25631863
This is why an origins version of GS would be great.
>>25636647
The retarded shading on that charizard makes him look flat, like he's got his lower jaw 2 inches to one side.
>>25631863
It would be cool to be able to do gyms in any order and have the difficulty be based on the number badges you already have.
I mean if Pokemon was more non-linear and HM use wasn't connected to badges.
>>25644277
where did you get the soprano from for silver?
>>25644379
>Calling other people amateurs
He can't use it outside, and if he uses it in a cave he appears at the entrance he last entered. So that wouldn't be helpful at all.

Kotone and the rival should be siblings
They should release a complete canon text of the games in the pamphlet of the next games. Say who won between Red and Ethan, say exactly what gender is the canon gender of each generation, exactly what Pokemon each player character caught in canon, the dates everything occured etc.

To get away from this thread
>>25631751
To mount Silver.
He's hot.
The Whispering of the old Pokegods made Red mad and in a last attemot of sanity he banished himself where no one would ever managd to go.
Red didn't go to Mt. Silver to become strong.It was the Wild Pokemon that went there that did.
>>25636647
Underrated post.
>>25647736
>manga
Norman's Japanese name and Haruka's Japanese name coincide. But, the birthday thing is pretty solid as well.
In my headcanon, at least, May would get a Torchic, making Brendan have a Mudkip.
>>25647491
>Kris Talmeth
It's a joke!
>>25644006
Not Jhoto HM's
He was homeless and it turned out pretty comf

that looks comfy
Because it's the final dungeon of the game and he's the final boss.

mt silver is that suicide forest at the base of mt fuji or whatever it is.

Well, if you played RBY, Red is you. So, why did you go up Mt. Silver? You should know that.
