We having a new anime beside the original one is already a big thing. Plus point if the anime doesn't feature Ash in it.
Nope, original take on the Generation I game. Still I good thing I suppose.

Jesus christ dude.
What crawled up your ass and died?
OT crap I probably shouldn't respond to aside, I'm absolutely loving all this genwunner love as of late. (Even if the new Mewtwo movie wasn't well...quite what I was expecting.) Hopefully this gets good enough ratings to pave the way for a better Pokemon anime that has no Ash in sight. I am totally not just stealth begging for a Pokemon Special anime, nosiree.
Uh, what?
I'm pretty sure his badass reputation comes from being the final boss in the 2nd Generation.
Judging by the Pikachu and all three starters being in Red's team in GSC, it's the canonical Red.
You're giving them too much credits. I work with some young chaps, and they are more and more hard to teach the job they need to do. One of them had all the trouble in the world just weighing a banana to figure out it's price yesterday... u_u
Found this on Google images while looking for a picture of sad Ash lol
OMG ITS BADASS RED I HATE YOU!! ARVHGHGHGGHGHH
Red did a pretty shitty job of destroying Team Rocket.Found this on Google images while looking for a picture of sad Ash lol

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I'd actually say I've got more nostalgia for Ash than Red honestly.
Probably because, you know, Ash was an actual character I recognized, while Red (or Brain...the misspelling of Brian) was just the character I played as who was me. Seeing Red in GS was cool, but I really can't say that the character was that memorable to me.
I wish they would've gone with the classic designs instead of the FR/LG-era designs. I barely recognized this dude as Red when I first saw him, Ash looks more like what people see Red as than this guy.

I wish the Red we were getting in the show looked more like this, but I'm just glad this is even a thing.
Oh yeah I forgot :/
That persona is just add oil to the mix. His badassness indeed originated from Gen II as hidden boss with the highest leveled Pokemon.

Well, to be fair, Team Rocket was completely disbanded in Kanto, and the only reason they still existed in Johto was because the top brass were idiots.

If this is an ongoing series, I wonder if they'll do multiple arcs on different games. Would be cool to see the adventures of Ethan/Lyra, Brendan/May, etc.
What do you want, another Sasuke? Red was never meant to look like a ruthless killer.
It's 2013. It's been almost 17 years since Red and Green were released in Japan. Most of these kids haven't played the Game Boy games. The younger ones may not even know what a Game Boy is. (I talked to some fourth graders in 2009, none of them knew what a Nintendo 64 was).

Has there been a stronger story trainer in the history of the series?

Would love it only you can trade.
Makes sense though. The red in the show is inexperienced, young and just starting his journey while the one that art is based on is Red after defeating Team Rocket, becoming a Pokemon champion and training in one of the most hostile regions for two/four years.
You know, I'm too have more childhood moment with Ash than Red. I played Red version exactly like he did in the anime with full team and such (still evolve them all of course). But as I grow, I began to see him more like nuissance. He doesn't grow old, keep his position as the lead character in the anime even though the game keep having new protagonists each generation. It just saturated me. Pokemon Special and Electric Tale of Pikachu just nail the coffin and now I hate him more than it should be. Even if this is a original anime that didn't feature Red or any protagonist from other game, I still happy because now i can watch a Pokemon anime that didn't have un-aging protagonist in it. Ash Ketchum have to rest. he deserved it. Or at least give a way for other protagonist to have screen time too.
Gameplay wise? Barry's team in DPPt have better team combination albeit with lower level (not a big difference), while Red's HGSS team despite being one of the highest leveled team in the game series, is have so many weakness that easy to exploit (Shedinja).

The real question: Is your Pokemon trainer in Pokemon Yellow Ash or Red?
to be technical, there is a yellow, who is a girl that has her own pikachu
And? They've shown GSC Pokemon in the first season of the anime...
I suppose to avoid confusion, he wouldn't receive Pikachu. Or at least, not as prominent as one in the original anime.
fist season try first freaking episode.. thats one of the reasons the first season was so hype so many pokemon that werent in the game but it made you search.

To be fair, the whole "baddass red with shadows covering his eyes" thing originates from Pokemon Gold & Silver's Red boss battle, not his playable appearance. And he's three years older there compared to his appearance in the original games. I don't think he should look or act like that in the beginning of his adventure.

Seems like it's going to follow the games, that doesn't mean it won't draw inspiration from the manga though hard to tell.
What if i told you RED is actually a ten year old kid with no personality and not the badass pokemon trainer teenagers believed they would become if they were in the Pokemon universe
No, original take on Generation I with no string attached to other media.
