Trivia

Red defenseless more Pokémon than whatsoever other graphic symbol from any Pokémon anime, having a record total of 150 captures.
- Although Gary from the original anime series mentions capturing over 200 Pokémon, almost of those are doubles.
It is interesting to note that the Mega Stones that Red uses are introduced in the 6th generation, where there are 719 Pokémon. However, due to the fact that the generation that Red is mainly from Generation I only has 151 Pokémon, Red has "caught" all of the Pokémon (with the exception of Mew).
