Pokémon Red and Blue/Characters: Difference between revisions
→Brock (Takeshi)
Line 128:
Pewter Gym Leader--''The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer!''
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Exclusively trains Rock types.
* [[Early Bird Boss]]: In Red/Green/Blue, only Pikachu, Butterfree, Beedrill (the latter two requiring [[Level Grinding]]), and [[Com Mons]] are found before Brock. Tough luck if your starter is Charmander. Fixed in every game after. Yellow adds Mankey and the Nidoran lines before him (now with an early Double Kick!) while FireRed/LeafGreen add Mankey and give Charmander Metal Claw.
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]
* [[Improbable Power Discrepancy]]: One Gym Leader with Pokémon at level 12 and 14. Not so in the sequels and their remakes, however, suggesting that the Gym Leaders might use Gym-specific teams.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: B'''rock'''.
* [[Personality Powers]]: Lampshaded in the pre-battle quote, where he compares his determination with the Rock type's defensive nature.
* [[Signature Move]]: Bide in the originals (Which wasn't actually a Rock type move oddly enough, just a Normal-type counter attack), and Rock Tomb in the remakes.
* [[Silicon-Based Life|Rock Based Pokemon]]: Both his Geodude and his Onix.
* [[Warmup Boss]]: He's the first gym leader, and as to be expected, he isn't hard in the slightest as his Pokemon are ''very'' weak to two of the starters, and even Charmander (who they have a type advantage over) can still run circles around them thanks to his high Special Attack and their low Special Defense. In the remakes where they're more imposing thanks to actually possessing Rock moves this time around, Charmander gets Iron Claw which still makes them pretty easy to beat.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: When the player ''doesn't'' choose Charmander, he is pretty easy to defeat in RBG and their remakes.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Both Onix and the Geodude line share this status.
