Who is your favorite protagonist from the games? Red, Wes, Krys, whoever. My favorite is Red, who seemed to be the best trainer out of all of them, and then Brendan from RSE.

Oh, cause Cyrus wanted to mess up the world and create a new universe and all >.> definitely Red then.
Time to consult our old and dear friend, Wikipedia...

A protagonist is the main character (the central or primary personal figure) of a literary, theatrical, cinematic, video game, or musical narrative, around whom the events of the narrative's plot revolve and with whom the audience is intended to share the most empathy.
Hope that's cleared that up.

I would also go for Red, the original and the best. Plus in Gold and Silver he's soo badass. :D

It seems the original is still the best, as Red is super-popular. However...

I do have a soft spot for "Brendan", but I prefer to call him Ruby due to Pokemon Adventures. (Seriously, it's like he is me, we're so similar).

Omg, i totally confused protagonist with antagonist >.< My apologies.
I hope I'm not making fun of you, but Red would be a pretty interesting antagonist ;)

Anyways, my favorite is Red. If Blue was the protagonist though, I'd pick him.

This is tough. :\ I'm going to have to say Red Kris because she was the first female. :) She started the tradition of always having a female character available in the main games. :) For that, shes my favourite protagonist. :)

I'll go and say Crys too. While she's not by any means my favorite character in the manga, I never choose Gold when I play Crystal. It's the only game she's in. So of course I'm going to pick her~ While Lyra is only in HGSS...yeah, I don't pick her. >_> She can go away. I think Crys would have been adorable on the DS screen but noooo. ;;

I have to pick Wes. Out of all the protagonists of the Pokemon world, he is probably the coolest.

Plus! He rides a motorcycle! How cool is that!?
D:

How did I not remember him? Oldest protagonist, too. And that's what I really liked about him since I sure as heck wasn't 10 when Colosseum came out. It's definitely my favorite Spin-off game, too. But yes, that motorcycle > bikes. ;)

Ah, but does a motorcycle come free with jaunty music?

Since the main characters all can't use any more words than "Yes" and "No", and don't even say that most of the time, it's pretty hard to have a favorite here. I think I'd either go with Red here because he's the original or May (I seriously have no idea whether she is Ruby or Sapphire in the games, so I'll just say May here) because of ... non-verbal arguments.
