A well-trodden tale if there ever was one… but it is far from the whole story.īehind Red’s seemingly simplistic Pokémon adventures lies a darker, more sinister plot – one that its original hero never hears of, but which holds significance for both him and the fate of the Kanto region. With a love for Pokémon battle, and a burning desire to be the very best, he takes on the region’s Gym Leaders, and eventually conquers the Pokémon League. One fateful morning in Pallet Town, a newborn hero takes his first steps along his journey to becoming a Pokémon Master.
