'''[[The Hero]]''' -- A human who wakes up in a forest to find they've been [[Involuntary Transformation|mysteriously transformed]] into [[Cursed With Awesome|a Pokémon]], with no memory of how or why... or [[Laser -Guided Amnesia|much of anything]] beyond [[Hello, Insert Name Here|their own name]]. And as time goes on, they gradually start to see a vision of Gardevoir (both in dreams and in reality), who seems to know much about the player's past...
* [[Audience Surrogate]]
* [[Back From the Dead]]: After stopping [[The End of the World As We Know It]], both the player and the partner find themselves in some sort of Underworld, making them technically dead - until {{spoiler|Gengar comes and fishes their souls back from the Underworld.}}
* [[Cursed With Awesome]]
* {{spoiler|[[Disappears Into Light]]}}
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]
* [[Heroic Mime]]: The player is [[Inner Monologue|privy to their hero's thoughts]], but anything they ''say'' is left to the imagination (and [[Parrot Exposition|others' reactions]]).
** Though they do talk after level-ups and {{spoiler|during the ending}}.
Line 15:
** [[Platonic Life Partners]]: Genders weren't defined in these games, so they could be this too.
* [[Involuntary Transformation]]: The player actually came to the world of Pokémon of ''his/her own accord'', but may or may not have been expecting actually ''turning into'' a Pokémon.
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]: The player {{spoiler|actually ''requested'' that their memories be erased during the trip to the Pokémon world; in other words, the amnesia was self-inflicted.}} Ouch.
* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Related to the [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]] above: Because the hero requested to have his/her memory erased, upon being accused of being the human from the Ninetales legend, he/she had no way to prove otherwise. If you'd kept your memories, then the whole misunderstanding could have been avoided.}}
* [[Required Party Member]]/[[We Cannot Go On Without You]]
* [[Standardized Leader]]
Line 33:
 
'''Team Meanies''' - A trio consisting of Gengar, Medicham, and Ekans, who wants to use this rescue team business as a part of their plan to gain power and riches. Led by Gengar, and is the second boss of the game.
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: Gengar openly and proudly states his "hidden motives" for starting a rescue team. Really, the team name is a dead giveaway.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Gengar. He saves the protagonist and the partner from the Underworld as well as helping crafting the Teleport Crystal for the duo to go to the Sky Tower.}} Also, {{spoiler|turns out he was the "cursed" human from the Ninetales legend and he goes into remorse to break that curse on Gardevoir.}}
* [[Obviously Evil]]
Line 66:
 
'''Whiscash''' - An elderly Pokémon who knows all the ancient legends and lore.
* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: He knows and relates the legend of Ninetales' curse, which directly contributes to the hero being [[Mis Blamed]] and [[Stern Chase|run out of town]]. To his credit, he had no clue this would occur, and clearly feels guilty about it.}}
 
'''Gardevoir''' - A mysterious Pokémon that haunts the players dreams. {{spoiler|It's revealed she protected her trainer, now Gengar, from getting cursed by Ninetales.}}
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|After her physical form is restored, she loses all memories of her past.}}
** [[Gameplay and Story Integration]]: {{spoiler|If the player chooses to recruit her after the storyline, she's level 5, which shows that she has forgotten fighting. Kirlia normally evolves into Gardevoir at level 30, and deleveling is impossible in these games.}}
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: Appears as a spirit in the player character's dreams, and once on the way to Mt. Freeze and is not seen by the partner. {{spoiler|Although she does return to her physical form later.}}
