The main character of Pokemon, the game, is named "Red".

"Ash" is the name of the main character from the anime. I know they're supposed to be the same guy, but serious hardcore players distinguish the two.

Actually, its not "hardcore players" who distinguish them. they are actually are separate characters. Red is the protagonist in the game/manga. Ash only exists in the anime, which is not always parallel to the game/manga.
