>>35289725OG Red shown in promotional material for the games was a hot blooded clumsy but determined kid who loves and gets really excited over pokemon. This is the Red Japanese people was very familiar with because these stuff hardly made it to the west, specially because they would rather market "cool" boy protags. He's also portrayed similarly in Origin.
Spe Red in RGB was kind of like that, except less reckless and clumsy nor easily excited. Still overflowing with confidence and clever when the situation calls for.
Red in the games is pretty much an insert so they don't let his personality be seen a lot, is just implied throught Green's dialogue.
