I would... if it was an opinion on them. The problem is, they are officially seperate characters, only related by circumstance.
In fact, Ash has never been in a Japanese Pokemon game either. Just Pokemon Puzzle League. Red's been in all the rest.
I guess it's hard to describe an Other. They're meant to be the same body and possibly soul, but they are completely different due to having completely different lives. And while it's true Ash and Red shared some similarities, they... share nothing else but a very few things: They have all 8 Kanto Badges, some of the particular starter Pokemon, and... that's it. Beyond that, Red is one of the most powerful Trainers, while Ash... is one of the mediocre trainers.
Overall, they are similar, but just not the same. I think they were created from the same block, but that was it.
Also, I apologize for taking so long in replying.
