So taking in account Misty looks a little older in Pokemon Red/Blue and as a Gym Leader, I wonder if Red/Blue actually takes place somewhat after the anime or it's simply it's own continuity.

I think the games are based more on the comic (separate continuity) than the anime.
Ash is based on Red though, and Gary is based on Blue to a certain extent.

Games come first. Everything else is based on them.
...right? I can't imagine that the manga comes before the games.

Ah crap I forgot about Gary, that would cancel out everything I said.

Correct, the games were released in 1996 and the manga began in 1997.

The anime is just a weekly 30 minute advertisement for the games and merchandise.

The games came first. The anime basically made a kid's show out of it so the main cast is like 10-14.

what comics? If you mean the manga, then there are MANY pokemon mangas, and the games came out before any of them (unless you count capsule monsters, but that was more concept art than an actual manga)

The games are main Canon.

Manga is closest vision to the Creator's original concept of Pokemon.

Anime is loosely adapted on both of the other sources.
