Know how "Gold" is "Ethan" in English? Thanks to a compounded tag on this pic's Pixiv page, I was granted a revelation: "Ethan" has a Japanese counterpart, "Hibiki". Arceusdammit.

Who is that guy on top and why has he taken the place of Red? ;_;

It's a newer Red, duh!

exactly. Everyone else is wearing their third game/remake outfits too, so

Quite frankly, we should just keep calling him Gold. I see no reason to differentiate the HGSS male protagonist from the GSC male protagonist. The Pokemon names are screwed up enough as it is.

I old 'I hate the world cause i'm so badass' Red is 100000x better than the new one.

It's the Gohan to Red's Goku.

So you consider a whole different character a "new outfit"?

In Red's case YESH

I like this.

I really don't like how Red's hair pokes out like that, never mind that it's not even reasonably brown in this pic.

As much as your own thought process none the less.

They never called him gold in the games. He had no official name (no the comic doesn't fucking count). Ethan is currently his official name. Same with Lyra. She didn't replace anyone, they gave the girl a shit redesign. We still call red "red" despite his redesign anyway and (most) people are fine with that. Like most people have been on my ass about Sabrina's new outfit, get over Red and Ethan's changes. Jesus...

Only exists in fanworks, only ever existed in fanworks.

I miss Red's old hat, but he's black haired again at Mt. Silver, and that's good enough for me.

"GOLD" is his default name in Gold, with the rival's default name as "SILVER" in that version; incidentally, it's because of HeartGold's default rival name that I call that character/design "Soul". lrn2STARTbutton.
