Line 10:
* [[Put on a Bus]]: All of them at the end of ''Advanced Generation'', except for Aipom.
* [[Reset Button]]: The start of this series (or end of the last) being the first time Ash leaves his old team (barring Pikachu) behind.
* [[Took a Level
* [[True Companions]]
Line 42:
** [[Badass Arm-Fold]]
** [[Heartbroken Badass]]
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Powerful in his own right, he just spends most of the time lazying around, apathetic to almost anything (i.e. whenever the other Pokémon would [[Hilarity Ensues|cause chaos]], you can see him just sleeping in the background not doing anything). However, unlike Charizard, he's ready to get out of his nap to fight for his trainer.
* [[Bullet Seed]]: Notably, Treecko's first grass-type attack, over 35 episodes after his debut.
* [[Determinator]]: He will continue to battle regardless of disadvantage (condition, typing, evolutionary level, etc.). He even {{spoiler|beat a Darkrai through [[Heroic Resolve]]}}.
Line 68:
* [[Super Speed]]
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: To Charizard, solely because he's Ash's Hoenn [[Brilliant but Lazy]] [[Our Dragons Are Different|draconic]] [[Badass]]. Inverted however because Sceptile was never outright disobedient (at worse was his [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]), not did he have a drastic personality change after evolving - he's still Ash's AG powerhouse, functions [[The Lancer]] to Pikachu, and frequently gets involved in the major battles.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Although he was a formidable battler in his own right and racked up a number of major wins, he could be and was flattened to establish some opponents' credentials.
* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: A mini-arc in the Battle Frontier season has him rendered useless because of a [[Heroic BSOD]].
Line 86:
* [[Keet]]
* [[Making a Splash]]
* [[Odd Friendship]]: [[Characterization Marches On|Only in early Hoenn episodes]], Corphish and Treecko.
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Corphish thinks this is the case when he first meets a freshly evolved Grovyle.
Line 97 ⟶ 96:
=== '''Torkoal (Cotoise)''' ===
* [[Death or Glory Attack]]: Knows Overheat, although Ash typically made him use the more reliable Flamethrower instead.
* [[Epic Fail]]: In one episode, he tries to go bipedal in order to kick a soccer ball. It went as well as you'd expect.
* [[Extra Ore Dinary]]: Knows Iron Defense.
Line 104 ⟶ 103:
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]
* [[Rump Roast]]: Upon returning for the Sinnoh League, Torkoal tries to defrost Ash (caused by Glalie) this way.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Turtle Power]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: His determination in his debut paid off, with the king of Steel Valley, Steelix, acknowledging his strength after Torkoal finally defeated him.
Line 120 ⟶ 119:
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Again, for the Hoenn arc.
* [[The Trickster]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[Use Your Head]]: Knows Headbutt.
Line 133 ⟶ 132:
=== '''Aipom (Eipam)''' ===
Traded to Dawn for Buizel. Aipom later evolves into Ambipom. For more info, see [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
== May (Haruka) ==
[[File:MayPokemon.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|
An initially newbie trainer, May started out disliking Pokémon before experience around them changed her feelings regarding them. She aspires to be a Pokémon Coordinator, leading towards a quest [[Distaff Counterpart|similar to Ash's]]. Tropes involving her and her Pokémon include:
{{hardline}}
* [[Action Girl]]: After she [[Took a Level
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: With Max. No matter how many times they argue, they still really care for each other; after all, they're still brother and sister.
* [[Belly Dancer]]: The contest outfit she wore in the Wallace Cup.
Line 152 ⟶ 151:
* [[The Chick]]: For the "Advanced Generation" series.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Whenever she holds her fingers together to imitate a camera, it's a sure-sign that she's..."lost".
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Although there was one time she squeed over Gulpin, a.k.a. the ''living stomach''.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Apart from the Contest arc, the [[Pokémon Ranger and The Temple of The Sea|ninth movie]] comes to mind.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: She has her moments.
Line 158 ⟶ 157:
* [[The Ditz]]: In the early stages of her journey.
* [[Dojikko]]: See [[The Ditz]].
* [[Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling]]: The foolish to Max's responsible. Unless the roles are reversed.
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The Sanguine.
* [[Genki Girl]]: A little bit in the beginning.
Line 176 ⟶ 175:
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Drew's blue.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: [[Dub
{{quote|
'''Max''': ''Of course, that's the only way Charizard knows how to say hello.'' }}
* [[Replacement Flat Character]]: Replacing Ash as the show's clueless newbie.
* [[Rotating Arcs]]: Her contest arc, in acccompaniment with Ash's gym arc.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: In one episode she develops a group of admirers and develops an over-inflated ego as a result. Then she enters a contest. You can imagine [[Break the Haughty|what happens next]].
* [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]]: See Ash. Veronica Taylor also did Ash's mother, Delia -- not only that, but she used the ''exact same voice'' for Delia Ketchum and May!
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly Girl to Misty ''and'' Tomboy to Dawn.
* [[Took a Level
** Not only that, but most of her Pokémon also got this change.
* [[Tsundere]]: A Type B, meaning she's mostly sweet and gentle...unless [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Drew]] is around, or Ash and/or her brother Max pisses her off.
Line 205 ⟶ 204:
* [[Artistic License Martial Arts]]: Combusken and Blaziken.
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: Combusken and Blaziken's secondary type.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Prior to evolution, Torchic got walloped pretty much every time it came out of the Poké Ball. [[Took a Level
* [[Death or Glory Attack]]: Knows Overheat.
* [[The Ditz]]: As a Torchic
Line 211 ⟶ 210:
* [[Playing with Fire]]
* [[Shoryuken]]: Knows Sky Uppercut.
* [[Took a Level
** [[Took a Level
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Chicken Mon]]: Torchic went through a personality change when evolving into Combusken. It went from timid and cutesy to a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race Mon]]. What triggered this personality change? May paying more attention and spending more time with her other Pokémon.
* [[Who's Laughing Now?]]: Literally happens in "''A Shroomish Skirmish''". Torchic settles its differences with Corphish after Corphish protected Torchic from a herd of angry Breloom, and Torchic returned the favor by evolving into Combusken to save him. At the end of the episode, Corphish attempts to steal Combusken's food again (which started their squabble in the first place) but was now intimidated by the more powerful Combusken, and Combusken simply laughs it off.
Line 269 ⟶ 268:
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Knows Rapid Spin.
* [[Making a Splash]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[Weather Control Machine|Weather Control Pokémon]]: Though not in the series' traditional manner.
=== '''Eevee-Glaceon (Eievui-Glacia)''' ===
Line 283 ⟶ 282:
== Max (Masato) ==
[[File:MaxPokemon.png|frame]]
{{quote|
May's younger brother who travels along with his sister and friends, even though he has no Pokémon of his own. Tropes involving him include:
Line 315 ⟶ 314:
== Supporting Cast ==
=== '''Professor Birch (Dr. Odamaki)''' ===
{{quote|
The professor of the Hoenn region. He helped May get her start as a trainer by giving her a choice between Torchic, Mudkip, or Treecko. Birch exhibits the following Tropes:
Line 324 ⟶ 323:
=== '''Caroline (Mitsuko)''' ===
[[File:Caroline-pokemon2_4709.png|frame]]
{{quote|
May and Max's mom and wife of gym leader Norman of the Petalburg City Gym.
{{hardline}}
* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]
* [[Mistaken for Cheating]]: Thought this of Norman.
Line 334 ⟶ 333:
=== '''Drew (Shuu)''' ===
[[File:DrewAnime_375.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|
May's main rival as a Pokémon coordinator. He enjoys pushing her buttons, but gradually drops the [[Jerkass]] facade and becomes much more respectful over time. He never lets anyone forget that they are rivals first and friends second.
Line 356 ⟶ 355:
*** [[Playing with Fire]]: Flygon's Flamethrower.
*** [[Psychic Powers]]: Butterfree's Confusion and Psybeam.
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: Becomes this to May later.
* [[It Amused Me]]: He toys with May, alternating jibes and backhanded compliments. May naturally [[Tsundere|rises to the bait beautifully]].
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: He spends his introductory episode railing mercilessly on May, then pulls a [[Big Damn Heroes]] when she's in trouble. Then insults her some more.
Line 372 ⟶ 371:
=== '''Harley''' ===
[[File:1246231129_1755_full_2211.png|frame]]
{{quote|
May's other rival, though she doesn't consider him to be one at first. Harley decided to go after May simply because during his introduction
He offered May one of his home made cookies. May was in a rather indifferent mood that day, and she thought they were OK. They weren't bad, just OK. [[Serious Business|Harley never let that go.]]
{{hardline}}
* [[All Webbed Up]]: His Ariados knows String Shot and Spider Web.
Line 384:
* [[Bokukko]]: Inverted - in the Japanese original version, he refers to himself using ''atashi,'' the Japanese feminine form of ''I.''
* [[Breakout Villain]]: Was apparently supposed to be done with after the Hoenn Grand Festival, but was made a recurring rival for Battle Frontier due to his popularity.
* [[The Bully]]: Acts such towards anyone who offends him even in the slightest. Humiliating and mocking his opponents during and between battle showing sadistic pleasure.(This is shown with his interactions with May.) Even mocking bystanders who are not even doing anything to him at the time. (As shown during his third encounter with Team Rocket during "Harley Rides Again".)
* [[Camp Gay]]: And how!
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
Line 389 ⟶ 390:
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: In a flashback in ''New Plot, Old Lot!''
* [[Death Glare]]: Ariados' Scary Face.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: His cowardly and dirty attempts to undermine May on the first three occasions they encountered each other. Though to his credit, he did not attempt to cheat during the Wisteria Town contest (fourth occasion). In "New Plot, Od Lot!" and "Going for Choke", his attempts to sabotage May were all to prevent her from getting her 5th ribbon thus preventing her from being able to enter the Grand Festival (Harley himself having already gained five by this point). That arguably suggests he was threatened by May enough to undermine her even during a time when he would not be competing against her in a contest or a festival.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: His entire feud with May is based around ''very'' petty reasons he has to hate her.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Brock actually thought he was a girl before the crowd cleared once...oops.
Line 412 ⟶ 414:
* [[Heel Face Mole]]: Tricked May using this ploy in the Hoenn Grand Festival.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Junichi Kanemaru|His Japanese voice]] is [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]].
* [[It's All About Me]]: He is highly self centered and selfish. In his debut episode, he openly states he expects the audience to quietly pay attention when he is performing an appeal during a contest. After countering his opponent's first move during his first contest battle during his debut episode, he acts as though the battle is for him and Cacturne to showcase themselves.
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Law of Disproportionate Response]]: He took May's picture, pasted it in a stalker notebook, drew a frowny face/skull and crossbones next to it, and obsessed himself with defeating her for the rest of the season. Why? Because she knew nothing about Cacturne before, called Cacturne "scary" and when she actually liked his cookies, she didn't like them ''enough''.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: His Japanese name is a corruption of 針 ''hari,'' meaning "needle," which makes one think of his Cacturne.
* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: Claims that May (or at least a May lookalike) once stole his food in grade school. Granted, he was almost certainly BS'ing it, but...well, you never know.
** Harley may not have be making it up, due to the fact that May lived two cities west of him, and that one episode showed her, Norman and Caroline, not sure if Max was with them or not cause the scene doesn't show him, so it's possible that May could have stolen Harley's food.
*** No - May's still much too young to have been in Harley's preschool class. He never claimed it was May...only that the cookie thief "...looked ''just like May.''"
* [[Narcissist]]: Extremely so. Even in his initial appearance he acts somewhat conceited even before his negative traits surface. Anyone who does not give him the highest praise, he relentlessly persecutes. During his first contest battle in his debut episode, he openly states that if one wants to use the term adorable then it better be used to describe him.
* [[Nice Hat]]:
** The one he usually wears is shaped like the top of a Cacturne's head.
** On another occasion, he wore May's bandanna while dressing up as her.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Andrew Rannells, followed by Bill Timoney.
* [[Pick on Someone Your Own Size]]: Sort of -- Harley himself seems to be in his late teens as of his debut, although he became obsessed with defeating the ten year old May.
* [[Pride]]: He is extremely arrogant, haughty and hubristic.
* [[Serious Business]]: Food in general, apparently. He hated May's guts because she said his cookies were only okay, and got really pissed over a girl eating the last of his lunch when he was little.
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Has asked Drew and May if they're dating. Naturally, their reply is [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|"No Way!"]] He doesn't seem to buy it, though.
Line 430 ⟶ 435:
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Terms of Endangerment]]: Calls May his "cute little gingerbread-cookie".
* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: Implied in a flashback in ''New Plot, Old Lot!''.
* [[Vain]]: Somewhat vain about his appearance.
* [[Vague Age]]
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: On one occasion, he dresses up as May. He even blows a kiss to Drew while doing so...
Line 436 ⟶ 443:
=== '''Solidad (Saori)''' ===
[[File:240px-Solidad_1786.png|frame]]
{{quote|
One of Drew's friends and an extremely skilled coordinator. She knows Brock from when she was at Pewter City and seems to have known Harley as well.
Line 461 ⟶ 468:
