Line 4:
=== Lunick/Solana ===
 
{{quote| 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.}}
 
* [[Blue Eyes]]/[[Red Eyes]]: Lunick and Solana, respectively.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Lunick.
* [[Everythings Better With Bunnies]]: Lunick's permanent partner is Minun, and Solana's is Plusle.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: Whichever one you play as.
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Heroic Mime]]
Line 16:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
* [[You Look Familiar]]: Solana resembles Clair a bit from the Gold/Silver/Crystal series.
** In a non-Pokemon way, she resembles [[Danny Phantom|Ember]], as well as [[Ka BlamKaBlam!|June]].
 
=== Prof. Hastings ===
 
{{quote| The head researcher of the Ranger Union, he is known for being impatient. He invented the Stylers that the Rangers use.}}
 
* [[Art Evolution]]: Loses his hat and unbuttons his lab coat after the first game.
Line 35:
=== Murph ===
 
{{quote| 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.
Line 42:
* [[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 Inin 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 ===
 
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Or at least [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]]es.
* [[Custom Uniform]]
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Mai Kujaku?]]
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: After [[Character Development]].
* [[Ted Baxter]]
 
Line 66:
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: He's the one who teaches you how to be a Ranger, and he takes an active role in fighting the Go-Rock Squad.
* [[The Rival]]: A friendly rivalry with Joel.
* [[The Smart Guy]]: He knows all there is to know about Deoxys, and it's implied he knows about computers and [[Buffy -Speak|stuff.]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]
 
Line 90:
=== Gordor ===
 
{{quote| 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 {{spoiler|constantly being upstaged by Hastings during their youth}}.}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[Always Someone Better]]: His "[[Freudian Excuse]]," if you can consider it that. He's always envied Professor Hastings.}}
Line 104:
=== Go-Rock Quads ===
 
{{quote| 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 [[Rage Quit|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!"
Line 110:
* [[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.
* [[DaddysDaddy'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. {{spoiler|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 ==
Line 129:
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Kellyn.
* [[Cutting Off the Branches]]: ''Guardian Signs'' references Kellyn by name, suggesting that he's the canon hero of ''Shadows of Almia''.
** Or they decided to [[Take a Third Option]] and got rid of the [[SchrodingersSchrödinger's Player Character]]. The Pokemon series likes to have a [[Five -Man Band]] wherever possible, after all...
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Kate.
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Heroic Mime]]
* [[Kid Hero]]
* [[SchrodingersSchrödinger's Player Character]]
 
=== Keith ===
Line 141:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: It's kind of auburn...
* [[Idiot Hero]]
* [[Jerk Withwith 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.
Line 171:
 
* [[Badass in Distress]]
* [[Dark -Skinned Redhead]]
* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: Locked doors in the way? [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Not anymore]]. TARGET CLEAR!

Line 221:
** {{spoiler|[[Dragon Ascendant]]: In a Wi-Fi downloadable mission, he is the leader of what remains of Team Dim Sun, now known as Team Debonairs.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Teacher]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Exit, Pursued Byby a Bear|Exit Pursued By A Whale]]}}
** {{spoiler|Although he survives and goes on to found Team Debonairs in a downloadable mission.}}
* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]: His swirly hair. Other characters often poke fun at it, much to his annoyance.
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Scary Scorpions]]: His preferred Pokemon.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Surrounded Byby Idiots]]}}

Line 272:
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]}}

Line 290:
=== Wheeler ===
 
* {{spoiler|[[Card -Carrying Villain]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Every time, in your favor. His choice of Pokemon may have something to do with it.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Harmless Villain]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Improbable Weapon User|Improbable Pokemon User]]: He uses about eight [[Com Mons|Bidoofs]] to fight you, and near the very end he sends a [[Curb Stomp Battle|single Bidoof]] to try and stop you. He would have sent more, but Blake stopped him.}}

Line 357:

Fearing death, he reunited with the other three and began pursuing immortality and world domination.}}}}

Line 376:
* {{spoiler|[[Immortality]]: He gains this while wearing the helmet/shoulder armor of the Golden Armor.}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Magnificent]]: His phantom thief persona is Ed "The Thinker".}}
* {{spoiler|[[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."}}

* {{spoiler|[[Attack of the Fifty 50-Foot Whatever]]: An... odd example. He turns himself gigantic, but then he seems to turn into an equally-large Crobat. Weird.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Kill All Humans]]: After being arrested by the Ranger Union at the end of the game, repeated questioning broke him and turned him into a humanity-hating misanthrope who wants Arceus to wipe out all other life (Aside from himself).}}
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Very, very much so. One of the few Pokemon characters to outright attempt murder, among other villainous acts.
* {{spoiler|[[Laser -Guided Karma]] / [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu|Do Not Order Arceus Around]]: There are plenty of [[Complete Monster|really nasty villains]] in the Pokeverse, and yet ''this'' is the guy [[God|Arceus]] deems unfit for the mortal plane.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Power Glows]]: Once outfitted with the [[Power Armor|Golden Armor]].}}
