>>53749520>But the entire "Satoshi is a character based on Red, not actually Red" shit is just retarded horseshit from salty Redfags that don't want Satoshi to be Red because they hate the anime.The sentiment may be one born of undeserved salt in the case of the people you describe, but that's not exactly wrong. The canons and characters are different enough that we can treat them as separate things while rightfully acknowledging that both draw from the same inspiration (the player character of the first Pkmn video games).
