>>29929298>Default names are always tied to the version you are playingHis default name is still Green in the Japanese Red, Blue and Special Pikachu Version games.
And it is also still Blue in the Western Red and Yellow.
And Red is still given the default name Red in Green, Blue, and Yellow.
Gold was still given the default name Gold in Silver and Crystal.
And now he's Ethan, so there's no reason to not just retcon the names and change them to different ones, don't even talk to me about "using names people would be familiar with".
It's also funny because forcing the Gen 1 games past the name selection gives them ridiculous names like NINTEN and SONY and developer nicknames, but not Red and Green/Blue.
Again, no excuse.
