> “FIRE” RED YUUJI

So you are a boy, then? Very good. You are the face of the new generation. You were designed to be beloved by all, and rest assured, you will be. You are the protagonist that everyone knows. You are the hero that everyone loves. No ill fate will befall you. This world revolves around you, after all.

FIRE’s story is based on: Snow on Mount Silver. Blue’s Tears. Lost Silver.

> LEAF AOYAMA

So you are a girl, then? I see. Unfortunately, your presence was deemed unnecessary for the new generation. Still, many took a shining to you, didn’t they? And you’re quite persistent… Oh, alright. But your presence won’t come without a cost. Lucky that you’re such a strong, independent young lady, hm? And nothing more.

LEAF’s story is based on: Abandoned Loneliness. Fallen Leaf.

> BLUE GARY OAK

Er, what was his name again? Oh, right- Blue! This is your rival. Your very first rival, in fact! How exciting! Though he’s set a bit of a troublesome precedent for the archetype, it seems everyone remembers him… Do keep an eye on him, would you? It seems like he’s always getting into trouble. That boy never learns.

BLUE’s story is based on: Blue’s Tears. Abandoned Loneliness.

> “GLITCHY” RED TAJIRI

What? I don’t understand. Who?

Oh… I deeply apologize. It appears this data is invalid. Pokemon Red? Oh, no no no. We ought to let the past stay buried, don’t you think? Things have only gotten bigger and better!

THIS world is kinder to them. THIS world is far more stable. THIS world is so much better. THIS world is where they’re supposed to be.

THAT world… And you, unfortunately… Are all far beyond salvaging. There’s no place for you.

Please accept this fact. We can’t afford you breaking anything.

RED’s story is based on: Glitchy Red. Ketsuban.
