Red is the default name of the player character in Pokémon Academy Life. As the protagonist, the story is predominantly narrated and experienced from his perspective.

First glance

Red is a young man with above average height. His love for Pokémon and the outdoors naturally allowed him to maintain a lean and fit build. True to his name, he is almost always seen with red-colored clothing. While he may usually have a solemn expression while in thought, Red is generally expressive enough when expected to be.

Unlike many visual novel or narrative games with silent protagonists or blank slate player characters, Red is quickly established as an excitable young man who is eager to start a new life away from his quiet hometown. While the player can easily make choices that negatively affect how Red interacts with other characters, at his core, Red is caring to a fault and is willing to go out of his way to assist others around him.

Despite his empathetic and relatively mature demeanor, Red can still get flustered and annoyed easily, usually from the taunts of his childhood friend Blue and other similar academy elitists. However, as he eventually gains new experiences, Red develops a new look on life, his future, his friendships, and loved ones.

Trivia

• Red's design was originally going to be based on his Pokémon Adventures counterpart. However, once dmjh93 took over as the lead artist, he was changed to his current design in order to match the other characters (who are all based on game or anime designs).
