Pokémon Ranger/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Pokémon Ranger

Lunick/Solana

The player is offered a choice of gender, with males playing as Lunick and females playing as Solana. Both are new Rangers being employed in the land of Fiore. Whichever one you don't choose to play as acts as your friend and partner.

Prof. Hastings

The head researcher of the Ranger Union, he is known for being impatient. He invented the Stylers that the Rangers use.

Murph

A somewhat slow guy, he was originally a Ranger in Fiore. Eventually, he became the PR head of the Ranger Union. In Guardian Signs, he is deployed to Oblivia on The Union to assist the player.

  • Ascended Extra: Over the course of the series, he went from a minor character to a fairly important one and finally to a main character.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: He doesn't get angry very often, but when he does...
  • The Chick: Is promoted to a male example in Guardian Signs.
  • The Ditz: How he became a Ranger is a mystery, but he gets stuck with "missions" such as changing lightbulbs, building a sandcastle, and "How far can you walk in 100 steps?"
  • Dreadful Musician
  • Took a Level in Badass: Well, not exactly "badass", but by the second game he's stopped being a ranger, which he was terrible at, and instead is the head of the Ranger Union's public relations, a job he's much more skilled at.

Aria

Chris

  • Not So Stoic: Upon seeing the legendary Rayquaza, he promptly bursts into an awe-filled, long-winded speech about its magnificence and beauty. Afterwards, he asks you not to tell anyone about it.
  • The Quiet One: He's known as "Silent Chris".
  • The Stoic

Spenser

Joel

Cameron

Elita

Gordor

This guy has plans that require Professor Hastings's Super Styler. With it, he intends to control Entei, Suicune, and Raikou so that he can stage himself as the hero of Fiore while the Rangers are ousted as ineffective. His drive stems from constantly being upstaged by Hastings during their youth.

Go-Rock Quads

The sons and daughter of Gordor, they act as his main enforcers. Apparently, being related to the boss is the only way one can get a promotion in the Go-Rock Squad... After the collapse of the Go-Rock Squad, they decide to go straight and become a famous band.

  • Berserk Button: Clyde. In Shadows of Almia, Billy says that Clyde stormed out of the park in anger because he thought the lyrics to "Dream Energy," which was written by Blake Hall, sucked. Also, his line in the original motto is "the rhythm of rage pounds the ground!"
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Garret.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Billy and Clyde, due to dialogue in the first game.
  • Bishonen: Garrett and Billy. To a lesser extent, Clyde. I mean, LOOK AT THOSE HIPS.
  • Daddy's Little Villain: Tiffany.
  • Demoted to Extra: In Guardian Signs. They're major villains in the original and still a big part of the plot in Shadows of Almia, but here they are solely around for a Quest.
  • The Dragon: Billy, as the oldest, fits this role.
  • Friendly Enemy: They all act very Affably Evil towards the Rangers in most encounters, even if being competetive and insulting. As opposed to their father, who's a total Jerkass.
  • Heel Face Turn: Appear again in the next two games as a band. And they don't like Blake Hall one bit in the second, perhaps because they realize that he's up to essentially the same stuff that Gordor was doing before him. Their responses to Altru Inc.'s efforts to dictate the structure of their upcoming concert are... less than cordial.
  • Overlord, Jr.: Billy, Garrett, and Clyde.
  • Quirky Miniboss Squad
  • Sibling Team
  • Techno Wizard: Garret, according to the manga, was the one who altered Hastings' Super Styler.
  • White-Haired Pretty Boy: All of them, though Tiffany is obviously a girl.

Shadows Of Almia

Kellyn/Kate

Keith

  • Expy: His personality and role is very similar to your opposite gender partner from the previous game.
  • Fiery Redhead: It's kind of auburn...
  • Idiot Hero
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Comes off as this at the beginning of the game in their time as Rangers. He then takes a Ten-Minute Retirement in Fiore, then comes back as a Top Ranger with the hero, and he becomes more supportive. He gets even more nicer when the hero saves him from captivity, and saves the hero when he/she gets sucked into a void of darkness in the finale. He accompanies you on the extra mission to Darkrai and gives some help.
  • Made of Iron: This guy should get some credit for being buttheaded by a Magmortar, crashing into that really far cliff, then flying back on a Staraptor at probably high speed, and diving to save the hero from dying.
  • Prisoner Exchange: He is the prisoner.
  • The Rival

Supurna

  • Nice Hat: Quite possibly the nicest hat of any Pokemon character. It has two Wingull-like wings hanging down from the back of it.
  • Younger Than They Look: She's about the same age as the player character.

Dr. Edward

A doctor living in Oblivia, he wanders the region making house calls and visiting his friends. 40 years ago, he and three of his friends were a band of thieves known as the Societea. Fearing death, he reunited with the other three and began pursuing immortality and world domination.

  • Big Bad
  • Chekhov's Gunman: As you can probably guess by the large amount of spoilers and little amount of safe info, he becomes a lot more important later in the game. He's head of the Societea, and thus the Big Bad.
  • Evil Costume Switch: He ditches his white uniform for a dark colored suit when he reveals his true nature.
  • Immortality: He gains this while wearing the helmet/shoulder armor of the Golden Armor.
  • The Magnificent: His phantom thief persona is Ed "The Thinker".
  • Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate: It's that "morally" that's ambiguous. He states outright that he always wanted to be a doctor; in his own words, "When you spend all day and all night thinking bad things, you tend to want to do a few good deeds to balance it out. I imagine a lot of villains think like that."
  • Phantom Thief
  • Recurring Traveller

Arley

A lumberjack living on Renbow Island, he is immensely strong and protective of Raikou's shrine. He is also a friend of Dr. Edward. In the Societea, he was their brawn.

Hocus

A magician living in Tilt Village, he puts on magic shows for the local kids. He also enjoys sipping tea with Dr. Edward and friends. He was part of the Societea, and was the crafty one.

Kasa

A fashionable old lady living in Obliva, she seems to be a friend of Dr. Edward. She was and still is a disguise artist, and was part of the Societea.
