Yeah. In the manga, Red has spiky hair a bit like Ash's (but way more messy). It's based very closly on the Red and Blue games, complete with a jerk rival. Plus an epic final battle in the finals of the Pokemon League! You really should read it, because unlike the games (and sort of the anime), characters actually have personality. And the manga is more realistic: violence, deaths, hints of romance (more than hints if you see the Ruby/Sapphire chapter on the internet). It's a lot more interesting, especially since it goes all the way from Red/Blue/Green to Diamond/Pearl/Platinum!
