The only real reason I was trying to bring the anime (Origins) or the Manga into play is because it is the only source we have on Red's personality. Red in the actual games is meant to be a reflection of the user, so his personality is really up to what the user thinks.Moves created in later generations are fine because they must have already existed before in the older games.
As long as you don't bring in anime or Pokemon he has never been seen to own I'm fine. Don't give him a Snivy just because he has been to Unova. I won't argue over spinoff games this time as I suck at the maximum level when it comes to thinking. Maybe our sempai, science god, Dryn, can help us.
Well that seems a bit unfair, we were ready to give him access to any of the first 151 Pokemon. The only reason others were saying he shouldn't be able to have them is because there was no proof of him owning 2nd generation Pokemon but I have proved that. And considering we aren't supposed to be using the anime or manga as a reference, the only thing we have to go on for Red is what the person controlling him does, and what Pokemon they catch. Seeing as users are able to catch all the Pokemon in a given game, why is it that Red shouldn't be allowed to?We are using Red from the games. He has to be seen catching Celebi or he can't use it. Having the characters items, abilities, and Pokemon be all up to the player isn't a problem, we can just use one combination that brings out his maximum potential. After that we just add the scripted parts from stadium and generation 5.
It's either we go with the Red from the game who can catch any Pokemon, and his personality is up to the user. Or we can use the Red from the Anime and Manga, who has an actual list of Pokemon, and an actual personality. And seeing as we are going with only stuff from games for other characters it would be unfair to have Red be the only one based off of his Anime/Manga version because he is weaker in that state due to a lack of powerful Pokemon besides Mewtwo.
