I like Red, but i undestand the all the trouble everyone have over him being the silent protagonist. He's not a character, he's just a mirror of yourself.
He became a character in Gen II and in B2/W2. It's just natural he dosen't speak, no game designer can imagine how would you imagine Red to be. He could be a joyful and kind person, it's open for you to decide.
He gets all the hate because you see other people's mirror. And natually the vision of perfection of DeviantArt users in not what you were expecting at all.
