>Is a mute and only has one facial expressionFor the same reason Link does, hes a the players avatar you are supposed to be projecting your thoughts and emotions on it, not the other way around.
>Has earned 8-16 BadgedAnd also became Champion in multiple regions, something hasn't done in even 1

>Leans on evolution as a crutchAs a game mechanic you mean, Red is basically the player
>Continues to ageSo does Ash, in Anime time only a few years have past but in real life (and Detective Pikachu) 20 years has. Oh btw Red is in Detective Pikachu and hes a League Elite (aka a Master), guess who isn't in the movie.
