RBY sold like 30 million copies even ignoring its remakes thoughA lot of people probably just think he's Ash.
Also, Ashs recognizability would leak through
I feel like people in here are really, really overselling Red. Legit wouldn't be surprised to find out a majority of casual modern Pokemon fans don't even know who he is.
Red is basically Ash, so much to the point that Pokemon Masters EX pokes fun at it. even with having them be two separate characters (who both have Pikachu). Thus, Red is pretty handily in the top 2, if not easily first, because the Red/Ash look is basically the stereotypical "Pokemon trainer" that everybody knows.Not only that, but Red is representative of the cover with Charizard, a fire type, thus Ash. Explains why they look the same.
Red > Sora and the rest aren't close
2B easilyI know absolutely nothing about 2B except the one game she comes from.
No one who didn't play RBY cares about Red.
I feel like people in here are really, really overselling Red. Legit wouldn't be surprised to find out a majority of casual modern Pokemon fans don't even know who he is.I agree with this. Sora gets my vote without thinking twice about it and 2B is definitely getting underrated.
Sora and 2B feel like the easy answers
Also, to answer your question, I think Marth or Ike warranted a spot on the list far more than Lloyd, and I say that with Lloyd high on my list of favorite gaming characters and Symphonia my in my top four games of all time.
I'm so confused about the 2B votes. Literally nobody outside of gaming knows who 2B is, and I only know who 2B is because she appears in SoulCalibur 6. She's nowhere near Red or Sora level at all.I didn't vote for 2B, but nobody outside of gaming will know who any of these are.
EDIT: I guess 2B would be third just by virtue of everybody else being that unknown outside of their own games, whereas 2B has atleast been a guest character in some, but... Still, third place is so far behind the top two that it's almost silly to even consider.

I find these Ash arguments odd
Yeah they know who Ash is, but that means they got the answer wrong .
Like if you showed a bunch of people Lucas and they all said "Hey it's Ness!", that doesn't suddenly mean Lucas is just as popular.
2B has two votes
This is about whether it puts him ahead of Sora
Regardless of whatever retcon they've attempted, I would say if the person straight up doesn't know the name Red it does not count.
Yeah, I feel like if they look at a picture of Red and say, "That's Ash," then they've missed the point and that's not in his favor.
Ash lost the Indigo League, Red did not.Yeah on this point Ash is a jobber who spent literally 25 years to win a proper championship while Red was a champion within one game and a legendary final boss in the second. Not seeing how you can argue they're remotely the same character when their actual characterization and portrayals are so wildly different.
I actually totally forgot about this but wasn't there a like 6 or so episode anime series that actually did have Red as the main character? I wonder how many people watched that.
The character in the anime may be Red, but the character in the game is not Ash. The distinction matters, subtle though it may be.
2B is definitely very popular and she should be much more closely in 3rd place.
Gamefaqs bring us ranked choice voting GOD DAMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT
You'd have to really stretch theflimsy, near non-existentdefinition of jRPG to count FE games.
