Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Characters: Difference between revisions

The hero. Whichever one you ''don't'' choose becomes your rival. Also, note that, unless examples for both are given, what applies for May does not apply for Brendan, and vice versa.

 

* [[Badass Adorable]]: The protagonist has no problem standing face-to-face with a beast that can '''shift continents''', '''raise the sea''', or '''Hyper Beam them to death''', depending on the version. Or all three of them in Emerald.

** [[Took a Level in Badass]]: The protagonist ''saves'' the world from utter annihilation of the awakened pissed-off Legendary (depending on version of course) by either defeating or capturing them.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: So far, the only ''aversion'' in the main series—the protagonist's father is Norman, the Petalburg Gym Leader.

 

* [[Break the Haughty]]: You do this to Brendan if you play as May.

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Despite May's depiction as an airhead, she can be a ''really'' tough opponent, especially the fight on Route 110. Brendan as a rival also uses the same pokemon in these battles, but his mannerisms do match his battle talent more (his wish is to "become a gym leader" and such), so this trope doesn't apply to him nearly as much.

* [[Totally Radical]]: In ''Emerald'', their [[Poké Nav]] nickname is "Rad Neighbor."

 

* [[Blue Eyes]]: May.

* [[Brown Eyes]]: Brendan.
