We have to keep in mind that when pokemon yellow was being made, gamefreak was still relatively new to making the pokemon games, and they probably hadn't developed their rule that "games =/= anime".

Even in GSC, they still hadn't developed this rule, thus Red was created.

However now, gamefreak has developed this rule, but their not going to completely change Red's roster for the sake of maintaining nostalgia.

The gym leader rematch data is out, be we don't know where we battle them yet for sure. People are saying the Frontier Front.

You played as Red throughout the entire first generation of games. He was not "created" for G/S/C nor does any one of his six Pokémon from G/S/C have anything to do with anything but that first generation of games.

Maybe there might be somewhere on the route to Mt.Silver?
Not sure why I thought there of all places, but you never know?

I have a feeling the Kimino Girls have something to do with this, I'm serious.

Okay sorry, I should have phrased that differently.

The rule still wasn't developed, therefore they chose to use Red's 1st gen team (which was based off the anime).

Then it'd be:
Pikachu
Pidgeot
Squirtle
Charizard
Bulbasaur
Kingler/Muk/whatever

It would suck if the gym leaders had to call you in order for you to have a rematch. I'm loving the rematch teams though, they're amazing.

Red or his his roster from G/S/C/HG/SS has nothing to do with the anime.

Red..wasn't based entirely on Ash

I know, just was saying if red = ash then the team I posted would have been what we fought. So since it wasn't, it wasn't based off Ash nor the anime at all. Pikachu was there as he's the freakin' mascot, Charizard is there since Red was using evolved forms of all 3 starters. At the time of G/S/C Ash hadn't caught Snorlax. Ash never owned Espeon let alone Eevee.

But it's better than drinking alone
Here's the reason for Red's roster, and lots of people will hate me for saying this:

It's from the anime. Ash had Pikachu (duh). Ash obtained Squirtle/Charmander/Bulbasaur (but Squirtle is too weak, so they bumped Squirtle/Charmander/Bulbasaur to their final forms). I mean really, a level 80 something Squirtle would be gay.

And the final two, Lapras and Snorlax, refer to Ash's adventures in the Orange Islands, when he obtained those two.

I'm not sure why it's like that, but it is. Personally, I thought Espeon was a better choice than Lapras, but whatever, Lapras fits with the anime more.

Again, although I hate to say it, Red's entire team is based off the anime.
