Hm.

All I know is within the code for Red and Green the two characters are basically referred to as Nintendo and Sony, which is mildly hilarious.

I love the interpretation that Red is a massive jerk who killed the first Pokemon Blue caught for himself, stole the love of his grandfather, and crushed his life long ambition of being a Pokemon Master.

It amuses me that after Generation II, no one really cares about being the League Champ. In Generation III and the inferior Gen IV, it's basically a subplot because the main villains are trying to destroy the world, and in Generation V it's widely considered and extremely shallow and self-serving goal, which you only obtain so the main antagonists will fight you, and even then it's far easier than the actual final bosses, who you fight in a ridiculous marathon (all four Unnova Elites, the champion, the guy you think is the main bad guy the entire game, then the real bad guy; it's a bit absurd by the end).
