Why is "Pokemon Trainer" not called "Red" on Smashboards?

[babybaby 12 (banned 3x)]

I think "Pokemon Trainer" should be changed to "Red" in the Brawl Character Discussion. We all know his real name is Red, right? I mean, there are like, a million Pokemon Trainers in the world, so it would make sense to call him "Red". He needs some respect around here.

The reason, the Pokemon Trainer (aka red to you) was supposed to represent a generic Pokemon Trainer. His design was based off the male trainer from the 3rd gen remake of Red & Blue (and green if you're Japanese) Firered and Leafgreen. Officially, the name for him is Red, but he is supposed to be generic.

Retro, just lock this thread now, and while you're done, burn the key.
