Have you even played Pokémon? There are different protagonists depending on the game. Red is the default name and officially chosen name for the man male if Red, Blue, Green, Yellow (Ash works for Yellow, too), FireRed, LesfGreen, and possibly Stadium. It's officially his name based on it being his name when he appears in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver (idk about Stadium 2), where he's not a playable character and instead a sort of 'secret final boss' character.
