Most likely the new guy would be a grass type?

diamond used a torterra man

...and red uses a Venusaur.

*add yuuki and kouki tag*

Rofl based on the game??
It's truly based on the manga
red has a venasuar and diamond has a tortera

I'm inclined to say had this been based on the specials manga, Red would most certainly be smiling. Game red is "Why so serious" but Manga Red is like the most happiest guy in the world.

red and gold look off when they're not in their remake outfits when put with the gen III and IV leads in their third game outfits

Oh really? Then everyone would have a water starter except for Shitstomp being replaced by Blaziken. Because you know, the image would be based on the game. My game.

Only the guys?
Wait, what about Green or Silver? Although, they were the rivals...

I thought red had a venusaur as his starter pokemon?
