Quoted By:
One thing I disliked about Red is how, despite all the other protagonists accomplishing just as much if not more than him, people in-universe almost always put Red above them just because "he's from Kanto and Kanto was the first one".
My problem with Leon is similar to that but without the actual accomplishment. You never play as him. Leon never defeated any evil organization or bested any region's Elite Four like Red did. You never actually see what he went through, all you have is JPEGs of him next to defeated Pokemon and Galarians treating him like the ultimate fucking lifeform. It makes you feel no attachment to him whatsoever because he's just a stand-in to sell Charizard merch
