Game canon

Red sets off on a journey with his rival blue-oak. He ends up bringing down Team Rocket and becomes the Kanto champion while filling out Professor Oak's dream of completing the Pokédex. He is considered a legend among legends in his various game appearances afterwards. In the Johto games (Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver) which takes place two years after, he leaves his position to train on Mt. Silver, where the protagonist Ethan, kris-game, or Lyra defeats him. Years later, In Black 2 and White 2, he joins the Pokémon World Tournament where he is defeated by nate-game or rosa-game. Many years later after that, he and Blue, grown up, are legends who face elio-game or Selene at the Battle Tree in the Alola games (Sun, Moon, UltraSun, UltraMoon).
In Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, an alternate universe, he completed his quest years before chase-game or elaine-game and can face them.
He appears in Pokemon Masters EX, being considered a legend among legends. He reveals the reason why he barely talks is "words are unnecessary!". His partner in this game is either Charizard or Snorlax.
