If Pokemon Trainer/Red ever returns to Smash do you think they'll use his S&M design?
Depends if they ever will bring back transformations in Smash, though I kind of doubt they will.

As for Red. They will probably stick with his more recognisable FireRed/LeafGreen design but I guess we could always see his Sun/Moon design as an alt. But to be honest, I'd kind of prefer to see the other trainers as an alt for him even though that might be a little too much for something that's mostly cosmetic for a character you can't even directly play as....

Honestly I'm not a fan of the design of Sun/Moon Red.

Maybe because he's barely recognizable as such now.
His design does look a little off though, can't exactly pinpoint on what...

Its the shirt. Red looks fine, but its the shirt that throws you off. And a bit of maturity to the face.

Other then that- Red still has that cap, which has always been his identification.

I bet the reason Red still wears the cap is because he's prematurely balding already

I felt like Red looked a bit off too, but now I see what it is. He looks like he's wearing a shirt he had when he was still ten, seriously, how small is that thing? His hair just looks... weird as well. The jacket was a key part of his look too.

Red looks weird to me because he kinda looks like he let himself go.

Blue looks older, sure, but he has the same style he had when he was younger.

Red just looks like he stopped caring about his appearance after a certain point. Maybe he's bored of the world of Pokémon battling because he keeps winning?

Decidueye is an infinitely superior name than "Robinroot" or whatever people called it before. Grass/Ghost is a lot better than Grass/Flying, and it gets Mean Look with damage but I'm not sure how good will that move be.

Incineroar is not Fire/Fighting; finally people can stop complaining about the type. It's not even that bad (neutrality to Stealth Rock is good). Fire/Dark is interesting regardless and I hope it gets Tough Claws because STAB TC Knock Off is lit.

Primarina is also a better name than "Entermaid." Water/Fairy is really good (see Azumarill) and if it's supposed to be a bulky special attacker it might have some use. Would be pretty funny if it got Pixilate Hyper Voice. At least it gets to have Scald since it's a Water-type. No Aurora Veil though, lol

The Tapu look cool. Honestly thought Tapu Bulu would be Fire/Fairy.

Cosmog is cute.

And I guess the Battle Tree is Alola's Battle Maison.

wow you all are a tough crowd to please. Tbh, I think Red looks fine. he looks like did grow up. he look about hmm 20?
There isn't really anything wrong with how he looks.

He just looks a bit strange.

It's like meeting a friend from primary school as an adult, and they look way different to how you ever would have imagined them looking when grown up.

I do wonder why Desidueye is part ghost, Im curious
Decidueye is likely based off of the Owlman, basically the English equivalent of the Mothman...sightings of the Owlmam do describe it being very Ghost-like...also the Barn Owl which the Rowlet line is based on are sometimes mistaken for ghosts at night...
Its also possible that Barn Owls are what people sighted as the Owlman, since they do resemble ghostly figures at night...

At least that's my theory...

Accept Red for who he is, not what he looks like. If anything, the design fits his quiet, don't give a **** nature.

Speaking of quiet, I love that silent protagonist nod Blue gave Red. Thought that was cute.

Blue definitely has better genes

I had a dyslexic moment and thought Red's shirt said "69"

I was like, "Woah, Red really DID grow up"

where are they from?
They're MAGES., a character from the Neptunia series. Personification of the company of the same name; who appeared originally as a DLC character for V (the third game, it's weird) and became a staple in the Re;Birth remakes of the first 3 games. Don't know if she's in V-II yet.

Who knows? :3
This guy named Yellowlord.... What happened to him, by any chance? Did he get consumed by World of Warcraft RNG drop rates? Was he attacked by a horde of cheese? Did anime get the best of him?

Oh wait...

Hm...

I'm raising a Torterra.

Should I go with a Brave nature or an Adamant nature?

Is it going to have Deoxys Vs Rayquaza?

Adamant

Just because he has a low speed doesn't mean speed is absolutely worthless.

Unless, of course, you want to use Trick Room

But do you REALLY want to make him a mixed attacker with 75 special?

Well, let's see...




-Different hat
-New shoes
-Looses the jacket
-One strap backpack
-Same serious look
-Similar body posture
-Red's face got longer with age

I think it's the larger presence of white in the design that's throwing us off.

I'm sorry, but asides from Primarina. Those are some horrible fricking Pokemon names.

Way to zap any coolness away from the bird in particular.
