Fair enough, however I wouldn't try and argue who trains more. Red certainly was skilled enough to collect 8 badges, defeat the Pokemon League, bring down Team Rocket but after gen one he goes to Mt. Silver to...I am not really certain. Train I suppose but how much training can you do isolated by yourself?<br/><br/>Ash by comparison has travelled the entire world. Constantly meeting new rivals and appearing as a top contender in the various leagues. Actually winning Battle Frontier. In my opinion, Ash's training is more diverse as he has battled through far more competitions ect. Although aside from Orange Islands and Battle Frontier, he has not yet won a major central competition.<br/><br/>If I had to judge a point in the category of training and experience, Ash would get it by way of experience.<br/><br/>But more importantly, their battling style is very different. Because Red's universe is primarily the gen one games. The most important aspect is leveling pokemon and evolving them. Ie, brute strengh with type advantage thrown in. It's why when faced on Mt. Silver, Red's team consists of mostly fully evolved Pokemon.<br/><br/>Ash does best with unorthodox styles and smaller, faster Pokemon. Such as Pikachu with the occasional heavy hitter like Charizard, Sceptile and Infernape. Not to mention his Goodra which as far as I know has never lost and his Greninja which unlocked a new form of evolution separate from Mega.<br/><br/>lastly, you would need to compare their teams. For Red, on Mt. Silver he had a Pikachu, Charzard(Presumably able to Mega Evolve now) Blastoise, Venusaur, Espeon and Snorlax I believe. All in all a very powerful team.<br/><br/>Ash is harder because his roster changes and he is known to call in past pokemon for challenging battles. But in my opinion his best team would be Pikachu, Greninja(Can evolve into a new form different but similar to Mega Evolution), Goodra(Never lost a battle), Sceptile(Defeated a Darkrai), Infernape and possiby Snorlax or Krookadile.<br/><br/>I'll let you decide who has the better team but in all, I fell like Ash has a slight edge. Red is really limited by a lack of content as all of his feats come mostly from a old game generation, a anime short and a couple cameo appearances outside of his generation. I certainly like Red, and he could always just sweep Ash's team with the Mewtwo he captured in Cerulean Cave but whats the fun in that?
