In Pokémon, we have two main characters:
- Red, who is the main protagonist on the manga and the first Pokémon games (Red, Blue and Yellow)
- Ash, who is the main protagonist on the anime.
What are the differences between the two?

6Red (in the game) is mute. He never talks.... ever. – кяαzєя♦ Dec 14 '12 at 14:10

In Blue version, his name is Blue. Your rival is named Red. – David Starkey Nov 19 '13 at 15:55

@David I'm not speaking about the games. I'm speaking about the anime / manga. – Madara Uchiha Nov 19 '13 at 15:58

1Ash CAN'T get rid of team rocket. They've fallen down GIANT pits, gotten to the bottom of the sea, and have fallen from they're balloon, like, a MILLION times, without dying! They are INVINCIBLE! – user6231 Jun 13 '14 at 16:44

There are lots!
For starters, Red is character who just starred in manga/games, and manga created only after a TV series aired.
As a result, they decided to release two types of manga, one based on the show and one based on the games:
- The manga based on games R/B/G/Y, called Pokémon Adventures, which continues the story until the third generation stages.
- And manga based on the series, called Pokémon The Electric Of Pikachu!

1That image looks like more for fun than about serious differences, apart from one or two facts in it. :P – Alenanno Dec 14 '12 at 12:33

B.T.W I prefer the Japanese version just because it is not censored. For example: real death appears much more realistic, And bigger b***s. :X i.imgur.com/erK2T.png i.imgur.com/8xkDh.png i.imgur.com/oTn5e.png Zombies! – Hashirama Senju Dec 14 '12 at 12:37

The image is mostly right, but referring to the first pokemon-movie, Ash had way more than 10 Pokémon :D. – looper Dec 14 '12 at 12:47

@HashiramaSenju In the English scanlations Koga's arbok survived though. He regenerated himself and was just fine after that. – Peter Raeves Jul 7 '15 at 9:15
