Well considering Ash never won a Pokemon league and the fact that he never really earned his badges? Yeah Red is way cooler.

Shame Red is missing a personality :lol

That, and Tobias literally served no purpose other than being a giant middle finger

in vain when Pokemon first started and was planned what then got made into the now the Pokemon adventure manga. is still stupid reason on keeping ash ten. and going to all the region. I mean they said kids would get confused if they changed the main hero. but I mean this was back when Pokemon started in japan and they had two superhero show that change team every year. ( look at super sentai and Kamen rider) why would Pokemon be any different?

Thankfully, the Pokemon Origins movie fixes that...which actually surprised me how much I ended up enjoying that.

What? No it didn't :lol
He was as bland and lifeless in that as he is in the games.

At least he talked...

And caught legendaries.

And he became even more of a generic protagonist than Ash himself...

3 of whom were caught off screen.

Red has accomplished more than Ash. I'm not trying to deny that. It just doesn't make him an interesting or better character.

^ What about his characterization in Pokemon Adventures manga if you don't mind me asking?
