In the Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
api, kebakaran himself appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, api, kebakaran sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced sejak Michele Knotz in the English version and 半場友恵 Tomoe Hanba in the Japanese version.
In other games
api, kebakaran makes an appearance in both Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed atau LeafGreen kartrij is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on the Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. api, kebakaran also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of Pokémon Battle Revolution, having a Double Battle against Leaf, using a Deoxys in its Attack Forme and a Wailord. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.
In the TFG
api, kebakaran appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set sejak the name of Red, seterusnya Quest, of the Pokémon Trading Figure Game. A recolor of the original api, kebakaran figure whose name was Red named Green, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the Groundbreakers expansion.
Counterparts
In the games
Red is Fire's video game counterpart. Red (Japanese: レッド Red) is the canon name of the player character in the Generation I games Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow.
Red is known throughout as the Champion from Pallet Town, as well as the living legend for his defeat of Team Rocket in Kanto during his quest. He is the final opponent in the Generation II games Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, their Generation IV remakes Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and Pokémon Stadium 2. He is also a participant in the Pokémon World Tournament's Champions Tournament, who wears Fire's clothing, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
Red did not appear in the Generation III remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen despite Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are the remakes of Pokémon Red and Green where it takes place in Kanto as api, kebakaran instead taking Red's place. Like api, kebakaran after Red, Red repise the same role in Generation I as api, kebakaran did in his Generation III Kanto counterpart except that Red can only have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during Generation I compared to api, kebakaran whose having the ability to have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time in Generation III. Because of this, Red is considered a Generation I trainer while api, kebakaran is a Generation III trainer.
This will make Generation III the only generation that Red did not appear in even in the Generation III remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
In the anime
While api, kebakaran did not appear in Pokémon Origins, his video game counterpart, Red, had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the Pokémon Origins mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and Fire's Rekaan from FireRed and LeafGreen. Red is voiced sejak Bryce Papenbrook in the English version and 竹内順子 Junko Takeuchi in the Japanese version.
Another direct counterpart of Red also appeared in Pokémon Generations. Like Pokémon Origins, Red shared Red's name, in-game role, and Fire's Rekaan from FireRed and LeafGreen. He first appeared in The Adventure, where he captured a Pikachu in Viridian Forest, and went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, encountering various wild and Legendary Pokémon. Because Red doesn't appear in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the writers gave Red a Vs. Seeker much like Fire's.
api, kebakaran makes his Anime debut in Pokémon Generations as he appeared briefly at the end of The Challenger, having just defeated the Elite Four at Indigo Plateau and preparing to challenge Green, which is also his Anime debut, for the tajuk of the Champion. Surprisingly he has yet to have his Pokémon owned at the end of The Challenger and his name has yet to be revealed despite api, kebakaran was his name.
Like in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, api, kebakaran is not heard speaking during his appearance briefly at the end of The Challenger.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
While api, kebakaran didn't appear in the Pokémon Adventures manga, Red did wear Fire's cothing as Red is Red's direct counterpart in Pokémon Adventures.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
A character in Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire named Red who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Fire's appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
Trivia
api, kebakaran is the only original male playable trainer that originally debut in a remake which happens to be Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, a Generation III remake.
api, kebakaran is the only male player character to have both male and female counterparts.
api, kebakaran is the only male player character to have a different male counterpart.
Despite many people call Fire, Red, api, kebakaran is not Red as Red and api, kebakaran are both different characters. This was true for Blue and Green.
api, kebakaran and Green are the only different characters that do not have a Bulbapedia page. Possible due to api, kebakaran and Green merged to Red's and Blue's page respectively making api, kebakaran and Green confusing for not having their own pages in Bulbapedia.
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Green sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
Despite the ellipses before the battle, like in Generation I where Red appears in, when api, kebakaran was talking to Copycat in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:
<Player>: Hi!
Do anda like POKéMON?
<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.
<Player>: Huh?
You're strange!
COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?
But, that's my kegemaran hobby!
Similarly, after giving Copycat a Poké Doll and having her teach Mimic to a compatible PokémonFRLG in return, like after Red gives Copycat a Poké Doll receiving TM31RGBY, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:
<Player>: Hi!
Thanks for earlier!
<Player>: Pardon?
<Player>: Is that fun to mimic my every move?
COPYCAT: anda bet!
It's a scream!
This implies that api, kebakaran is speaking, although it could be that Copycat has nothing to mimic, so she is making up words.
Much like there is minimal information on Red's father along with his his Anime counterpart's father, Ash's father, Fire's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an SNES at the Celadon Department Store in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
