Line 5:
 
=== Wes ===
Wes is a young man who lives in Orre. He is the protagonist of the first game. Has a [[Mysterious Past]] and a bit of [[The Cowl]] complex.
 
* [[A Sinister Clue]]: Wears the portable Snag Machine on his left arm. It's ambiguous whether he's actually left-handed, and he's an anti-heroic example regardless.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type II - he's basically an older Pokemon series hero who happens to be an ex-gangster.
* [[The Atoner]]: To atone for his criminal past, he goes around taking down Team Cipher and stealing back the Shadow Pokémon histhat Team gangSnagem stole for them with the ultimate goal to purify their corrupted hearts.
* [[Badass]]: Probably ''the'' biggest example in the Pokémon franchise. The game opens with him bombing his old gang's base for crying out loud!
** [[Badass Longcoat]]
Line 22:
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: With Rui.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Is sporting a big one as he's escaping his old base.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: His hair is more of a greyishsandy grey color, but he still narrowly fits the bill.
* [[Yin-Yang Bomb]]: Starts off with [[Psychic Powers|Espeon]] and [[Casting a Shadow|Umbreon]].
 
Line 73:
 
=== Eagun ===
Eagun is a very old man with a long white beard, and flowing robes. He's the grandfather of Rui. When he's not trying to write in his P*DA he acts as [[The Obi-Wan]].
* [[Badass Beard]]: Sports a nice, bushy one that covers most of his face.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: He was an experienced trainer in his youth, and his Pikachu is still up at level fifty. In the postgame for XD, he fights you with an entire team of the Pikachu family!
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Despite his status as a legendary trainer, he's quite humble, down to earth, and very helpful to both protagonists in the series.
* [[Expy]]: With his over-leveled Pikachu, flighty and excitable personality, and traveling skills, he's basically an elderly Ash Ketchum.
Line 96:
 
=== Silva ===
Silva is a young man from Pyrite Town. He's Duking's [[Number One]] man. He's also a talented [[Master of Disguise]] when the need arises. Oh, and he's also [[The Woobie]].
* [[Butt Monkey]]: He tends to be kidnapped or beaten up a lot in the first game, which is pretty much where his Woobie status comes from. It's quite telling when the most useful thing he does is by complete accident.
* [[Cruel to Be Kind]]: Accidentally. To spite Duking, he steals the gears to the Pyrite Windmill, shutting down the Colosseum. This stops Cipher's plan to distribute the Shadow Pokemon through the [[Title Drop|Colosseums]].
Line 161:
* [[Brainless Beauty]]: Let's not pull any punches here, she's a complete fucking idiot.
* [[Break the Haughty]]: And boy, does she deserve it.
* [[Catchphrase (game show)|Catchphrase]]: "I'm your Venus!"
* [[The Dark Chick]]: Is this among Cipher's hierarchy thanks to the fact that she's more concerned with lording it over the citizens of The Under and making it clear that she is the most beautiful woman down there.
* [[Perky Female Minion]]: Not quite at Miror B's level, but is still a lot more cheerful than the thuggish Dakim, cold-blooded Ein, and the downright creepy Nascour {{spoiler|and Evice}}.
Line 180:
* [[Battle in the Rain]]: Like Miror B, he utilizes Rain Dance for his strategies. This time, he uses it to make it to where Thunder will never miss while giving his Water types a boost.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Easily ''THE'' worst member of Cipher by far. Warping and twisting Pokémon into serving as bloodthirsty war machines out of scientific curiosity and pride will do that to you.
* [[The Evil Genius]]: Serves as this among Cipher as a whole as he is the one behind Shadow Pokémon development.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]
* [[Expy]]: He's [[Final Fantasy VII|Professor Hojo]] or [[Kingdom Hearts|Xehanort]] if they experimented with Pokemon instead of being [[Omnicidal Maniac]]s.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: He may completely morally bankrupt, but goddamn if he isn't incredibly attractive as well.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: And he makes it clear he's unrepentant, too!
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Well, you're not exactly sane or at least morally sound whenever your whole line of work is brainwashing Pokémon with inhumane experiments.
* [[Making a Splash]]/[[Shock and Awe]]: Is fond of combining Electric types and Water types (He even uses a Pokémon sharing both types!) for devastating effect: Rain Dance to both boost his water attacks and Thunder's accuracy.
Line 293:
 
=== Lovrina ===
The head of Cipher's Research and Development team. Acts like a stereotypical [[Valley Girl]], Lovrina prefers Pokémon who look beautiful.
 
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: As revealed in your second battle with her, she's much, ''much'' more psychotic and evil than she lets on.
Line 318:
 
* [[The Dark Chick]]
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Upon defeating him post-game in Orre Colosseum, he writes you a letter saying that he'll be glad to make you his head secretary when he becomes governor.
* [[Evil Feels Good]]: In addition to revenge, his main reason for sticking with Cipher even after his criminal behavior is exposed.
* [[Jerkass]]
Line 327 ⟶ 326:
 
=== Gorigan ===
Gorigan is the [[Dumb Muscle]] in charge of guarding the Cipher Key Lair factory. Which he's not very good at.
 
* [[The Brute]]
Line 337 ⟶ 336:
 
=== Ardos ===
Ardos is one of Greevil's two bodyguards, and is revealed at the end of the game to also be one of Greevil's sons. Goes [[Laughing Mad]] and claims he'll restart the evil organization.
 
* [[Complete Monster]]: Ardos is one of the big reasons the people of Orre have trouble sleeping at night. The Heman set a record for his time as to how low a villain will stoop to deal with the player trainer — whereas the leaders of Teams Rocket, Magma, and Aqua all ceded when their plans tanked, he suggested to Big Bad Greevil that they take off and detonate Citadark Isle with you on it! He advised mass murder (the Peons still on Citadark are apparently expendable) as a way of dealing with you. Only Ghetsis would even get close to this level of depravity.
** The Orre Colosseum has rematches against the Cipher Admins, and all of them give out titles when you defeat them. Ardos' is "Cipher's Biggest Enemy" — and the message bearing that title basically amounts to a death threat!
** Ardos also {{Spoiler|vows to rebuild Cipher after Greevil gets vanned}}, and this is after the group's second collapse. Considering that only Team Rocket and Team Plasma ever managed a second attempt, and Team Rocket ceded for good after its second fall, this means Cipher's going for round three, and very well could make good on that threat.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: The sole subversion....''his'' post-game letter to you is a ''death threat!''
* [[The Dragon]]
