Battling Red was the whole highlight of my Pokémon career.

Oak: Red go on top of MT. Silver
Red: *proceeds to wait up there for two years*

Ironically, Professor Oak is the original idea of this, because in Gen 1, he was originally planned to be the true final boss after defeating the Champion, much like how Red became for Gen 2.

Goku and Namona wishes they had a friend like Prof Oak.

Gary with 10 badges was so wild to us 😂😂😂

Red is the very best there ever was. He waits at the top of Mount Silver because he's the last "mountain" that you need to climb to be the best.

One of my favorite parts about Red is that they commit to the silent protagonist bit

[opoaxacan]

Getting my whole team shit stomped by a lv81 pikachu was peak gaming back in the day

[FlareBlitzBanana]

This theory makes a lot of sense since it would explain why Red just happened to be on top of a massive mountain for seemingly no reason.

[ElManReborn]

Imagine if after the iconic '...' it turned out Red had frozen to death

[ActivelyCurious]

Also whenever Gold defeats the elite 4 again, Red appears again for a battle. This is maybe stretching it a bit- but it's a fun headcanon. After their first fight Red and Gold agree to meet up every time after beating the elite 4 to test each other again.

As a kid I thought everytime I defeated red he would jump off the mountain.. but I guess he wasn't a sore loser.

[ianfinrir]

Words can't express how awesome it was to meet Red on top of Mt. Silver.

[rusttoyoung]

It's stated in the manga, that Red got hurt bad during his battle against the elite 4 (the manga is a lot more violent, it was not in any way, shape or form a battle like the games) and had to go to Mt. Silver because of the hotsprings there which could help him heal.

[lordaragon]

I just love how the elite 4 are usually OP and intimidating as heck in the anime/lore, but then you have the games where literally every single game, the elite 4 are demolished by a single 10yo with a max level starter and all the legendary Pokémon of the region 😅

[playfreenm]

the most iconic battle is people smashing the a button against the truck

[lol_devyn]

“Yea Red go up on Mt. Silver. No you won’t need a jacket I think it’s supposed to be 78 today”

[gabrielross]

“And Red wept, seeing as he had no more worlds left to conquer. So he climbed the mountain and let his strength fade into the cold until he could be challenged again.”

[cody]

Red wearing Pikachu like a neck pillow. What an absolute Villain!

It was a trip to see your old character from the previous game as the final and most powerful trainer in the game. It made my RBY second playthrough more interesting knowing how things are gonna play out and change in just a couple years.
