Line 95:
*** Also from DPA, Mitsumi was an orphan, and she was raised by Cyrus, the [[Big Bad]].
** Meowth of Team Rocket was abandoned as a kitten and had to join a gang for food.
** While a trainer is, of course, not a parent to a Pokemon (though some certainly treat them as such) abandoning one is a sure sign that the trainer is scum. Charizard's original trainer (back when it was a Charmander) is a good example, as is [[Corrupt Politician| the Mayor of Trovitopolis]], who as a child, threw his Bulbasaur down a sewer and left it to starve.
* Exception: Lan from the ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]]'' games and anime interacts with both of his parents. His father is a scientist who becomes vital to the series' plotlines, and his mother is a type of moral support when Lan finds that he and Mega Man need to save the world.
* Subversion: In ''[[Jubei-chan]]'', main character Jiyu's mother is dead true to form, but this has made her extremely close to her [[Bumbling Dad]], who is aware she's a (very strange variant of the) [[Magical Girl]]. Their relationship is more important to the series than the plots of the various villains, except where the relationship and the plots intersect.
