Pokémon Colosseum by Genius Sonority has a much more realistic cast than the rest of the series - compare Persona 2.

Colosseum

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.

Rui

Rui is the Mysterious Waif with psychic powers. She is the Sidekick and secondary protagonist in the first game. She's determined, caring, but can be a bit bossy and stubborn at times.

  • Aura Vision: She can see Shadow Pokemon. In a way, she predates Lucario, the de facto aura reader in the Pokémon universe as this!
  • Badass Pacifist: With no Pokemon of her own, she doesn't fight.
  • Bare Your Midriff: Her belly is bared in the Japanese version, but is covered up in the stateside release.
  • The Chick/The Lancer
  • Damsel in Distress: Shes the Girl in a Box at the very beginning of the game.
  • Exposition Fairy: She fills you in on all the things going around in Orre.
  • Expy: She looks a lot like Misty plus a pigtail.
  • Girlish Pigtails
  • This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman: Implied to have psychic powers that, nonetheless, only manifest over the course of the story as the ability to detect Pokemon who have been abused in a specific way. Granted, it's a very useful power over the course of the game, but still...
  • Morality Chain: She's the one who calls out and prevents Wes from targeting normal Pokemon with the Snag Machine.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Downplayed in the American version, but she fits the bill in the Japanese version. Red Hair? Check. Bare belly? Check. Tiny miniskirt? Check!
  • The Not Love Interest
  • Platonic Life Partners: With Wes.
  • Player and Protagonist Integration: She most likely makes up for the lack of a female player character, notably because you can choose to name her like you can with Wes.
  • Psychic Powers: Not shown to extend beyond detecting the black aura that surrounds Shadow Pokemon.
    • On a technical level, her aura powers make her Lucario before there was a Lucario.
  • Undying Loyalty: Even when she finds out that Wes used to run with Snagem, she has no qualms with him as long as his criminal past stays in the past and will help him with his Shadow Pokémon snagging quest to the very end.

Nett

Nett is the founder of the Kids' Grid and the resident Techno Wizard of the group.

Secc

Secc is the kid who establishes contact with Nett in the Under. The pair act as a main source of information afterwards.

Megg

Nett's little sister who can sometimes be an annoying little sister.

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 Grandpa
  • Badass Mustache
  • Cool Old Guy
  • Expy: With his over-leveled Pikachu and traveling skills, he's basically an old Ash.
  • Instant Expert: Subverted in XD. His first email is empty and the sbjuect is spelt bdaly. His second and last are abruptly cut off, and he spams Michael constantly on Citadark Isle.
  • Retired Badass: Like most of Agate Village, he was a hotshot and well-known Trainer in his younger days.

Duking

Duking is a very large man and the de facto mayor of Pyrite Town. He looks big and mean but he's really a Gentle Giant. * Badass Mustache

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.

Beluh

Wife of Eagun and Rui's grandmother.

  • Flat Character: She's there to give the tablet and nothing else. Eagun could have done that.
    • However, then she would have been nothing at all, only existing to avert Missing Mom.
  • Women Are Wiser: While we don't see a whole lot of her personality, she does seem a lot more sensible than Eagun.

Miror B.

The Laughably Evil member of the Admins. He's so lame that he isn't even given a legendary Shadow Pokemon of his very own. He eventually leaves Cipher to start his own group. You can guess how well that works out. In battle, he prefers to spam Ludicolo, using a combination of Rain Dance and Rain Dish to gradually recover his team's HP and attempting to win by attrition.

Dakim

Is one of the four Cipher Admins. He's The Hulk of the group, and one of the most strangely dressed characters in the game. Dakim's team is composed of hard-hitters; he generally has one member of his team use Earthquake while the other member uses a Defend Command to avoid taking friendly-fire damage in the process.

Venus

She considers herself a pop idol and is The Ditz of the Under, she's dressed in pink silks. She's obsessed with being popular. In battle, she prefers to incapacitate opponents with status effects and Attract.

Ein

The leader of the Admins and creator of the Shadow Pokemon as a whole. With brains, charm, and style he's a true Magnificent Bastard. He enjoys spamming Toxic and Confuse Ray; after his first appearance, he also uses a modified Rain Dance strategy, sending out a powerful Water-type Pokemon in conjunction with a supporting team member with the Lightningrod ability to protect them from Electric-type moves.

Nascour

He was thought to be the head of Cipher. In the end it's discovered that he was just hiding The Man Behind the Man.

Es Cade/Evice

The mayor of Phenac City and the one who's really responsible for the plot, and the most powerful and significant evil in the first game.

Agnol

Battlus/Somek

Infin and Inity

XD: Gale of Darkness

Michael

The protagonist of Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness.

Jovi

Michael's little sister, who helps out with an errand early in the game.

Lily

Michael and Jovi's mother, who is a scientist at the Pokémon HQ Lab.

Professor Krane

A scientist at the Pokémon HQ Lab who worked with Michael's father on a way to purify Shadow Pokémon at a quicker pace.

  • Brainy Brunette
  • Unlucky Childhood Friend: It is mentioned by an NPC that when Lily was still a student, she was very popular. Many tried to woo her, including Krane, but Michael's father obviously ended up with her.

Lovrina

The head of Cipher's Research and Development team. Acts like a stereotypical Valley Girl, Lovrina prefers Pokémon who look beautiful.

Snattle

His ultimate goal is to be Governor of Orre via Team Cipher. Also, he's the Straw Loser for the Cipher Admins. His strategy in battle goes from attrition damage from Shadow Sky to spamming Explosion.

Gorigan

Gorigan is the Dumb Muscle in charge of guarding the Cipher Key Lair factory. Which he's not very good at.

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.

Eldes

Eldes is the other brother to Ardos, bodyguard and son of Greevil. Arguably far more honorable than either, he eventually has a Heel Realization and gives up.

Greevil

A short man accompanied everywhere by his sons/bodyguards Ardos and Eldes. He's the mastermind of Team Cipher in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
