=== Red -- The Battler ===
{{quote| ''"Me? I am Red! A Pokedex Owner from Pallet Town! A 'Battler'!"''}}
[[File:Red_Special.jpg|frame]]
The first protagonist of the series. He starts out as an arrogant [[Idiot Hero]] who starts out thinking he's better than everyone. It took a quick defeat from Mew before he considers learning and going to Professor Oak where he starts his quest. His first Pokémon is a Poliwag named Poli, while his starter is a Bulbasaur named Saur.
----
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Brown Eyes]] -> [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Character Development]]: Goes from being an [[Idiot Hero]] to a slightly [[Hot -Blooded]] [[The Ace|ace]].
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Remains as wide-eyed as ever even at age 16.
* [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]]: He disguised himself as a TR grunt to get some info.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]: Finds a pair which are supposedly [[Fridge Logic|electric insulated]] in Silph Co. {{spoiler|after defeating Lt Surge}}.
* [[Flung Clothing]]: Blue pulled off the TR disguise mentioned above. Red was also pretty much stripped over the course of FRLG.
** There was also the time when he suddenly pulled off his clothes in the RGB arc and jumped into the water in order to convince Green's Pokémon to relax, and when he went into the hot springs as well.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Choleric with a dash of Sanguine.
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: In the first chapter of RGB and another one in FRLG.
* [[The HerosHero's Journey]]
* [[Harmless Freezing]]: By Lorelei for about 2 weeks, which lead him to be displayed as a...
** [[Human Popsicle]]: He got better, {{spoiler|but he got terrible frostbite on his wrists and ankles}}.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: After growing out of his [[Idiot Hero]] demeanor.
* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: With Sabrina. No, not in that way. Though it did lead to an...
** [[Accidental Pervert]]: instance when Sabrina started leaving.
Line 39 ⟶ 36:
** Lt. Surge. I mean, he did torture him repeatedly. And what happens when they meet up in the Yellow arc? Red's like, "Yo, what's up?"
*** However, there ''is'' a battle to decide the fate of humanity going on. It's implied that Red is up to speed on the alliance between the Rocket Admins and the Pokedex Holders.
** Red forgave Bruno too. Red received a direct kick to the stomach from a Hitmonlee, which was rather hard to swallow, but he still forgave him considering, you know, {{spoiler|''[[Mind Control]]''}}.
** He would probably have forgiven {{spoiler|Giovanni if he found out that he was the one who saved him in said "almost frozen to death situation"}}.
** Lorelei who was the one {{spoiler|who encased Red in ice and as a result he got severe frostbite}} but the next time they meet (roughly a few years later), he doesn't even mention it and appears to have forgiven her. Then again, there were more pressing matters at hand and Lorelei did help Red and Blue escape from the Beast Trio after Team Rocket threatened her home.
Line 51 ⟶ 48:
* [[Ship Tease]]: Yellow, Misty and Blue in various arcs.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: He gets one at the very end of FR/LG.
* [[Sleeves Are for Wimps]]: Since he dumped his jacket in FRLG. Also at the start of said arc, he was walking around without the jacket.
* [[Taken for Granite]]: He was the only dex holder out of uniform and not holding the Pokédex, which pretty much ruins their guise of being real statues.
* [[Take Up My Sword]]: After Red disappeared, Yellow used his Pikachu and Pokédex.
* [[Taking You Withwith Me]]: In FRLG, {{spoiler|at the end of the Mewtwo vs. Deoxys battle, while Deoxys was grabbing Red, Red insisted that Mewtwo fire the final shot even though he knew that the attack might literally go through him.}}
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Twice offered to Red from {{spoiler|Giovanni in RGB and The Elite Four in Yellow saga.}}
** Also, the above offers resulted in the [[Pick Onon Someone Your Own Size]] trope.
* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: Still in bad shape after being frozen by Lorelei, Red has to step down from the Viridian Gym leader's position, and, consequently, was out of action for most of GSC in order to recuperate.
 
Line 64 ⟶ 61:
Red's first Pokémon that he obtained when it was only a Poliwag. Sometime before the series began, he evolved into a Poliwhirl to save a drowning Red. He evolved into a Poliwrath to rescue Red from drowning once more after his Trainer was sent into the water by Lt. Surge.

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]
* [[Non -Elemental]]
* [[Stout Strength]]
 
Line 103 ⟶ 100:
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Due to his former ability to evolve between multiple forms and back, he had a variety of these.

** [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: As a Flareon.
** [[Psychic Powers]]: As an Espeon.
** [[Shock and Awe]]: As a Jolteon.

=== Green Oak -- The Trainer ===
==== (Blue in the English version) ====
{{quote| ''"Trainers must train and sharpen their own senses, and be as one with the Pokemon in a battle."''}}
[[File:Blue_Adventures.png|frame]]
He is Professor Oak's grandson and is Red's rival. His first Pokémon is a Scyther, while his starter is a Charmander. The current Viridian City Gym Leader. Does not nickname his Pokémon.
----
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Type III at first, before becoming more of a straight-up hero.
* [[Badass Cape]]: Sports one in the Yellow arc.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Harm and imprison his family? He'll only use his Pokémon as a virus to destroy your circuitry, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|bypassing any of your predicted inevitable outcomes in the process.]]
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: In the first few chapters he acted very much like his counterpart from the games and his anime counterpart Gary from the first season. This changed by the time he appeared in Pokemon Tower and he became a more serious character. (Somewhat [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Red: "You're not your old obnoxious self again...you're ''worse!'')
* [[The Comically Serious]]: On occasion, ''especially'' when training Yellow.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: His and Blue's names were switched in the English translation.

* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: His Pokémon know 2nd generation attacks, taught to them by Chuck.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Melancholic with a dash of Phlegmatic.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: He does this to Red after {{spoiler|Red loses to Deoxys.}}
* [[Parents in Distress|Grandfather In Distress]]: In the RGB and FRLG arcs.
* [[Green Eyes]]
Line 152 ⟶ 149:
** Actually in the RBG arc he's shown easily deflecting Red's attacks, and in the GSC arc he's shown fighting with some of the possessed [[Mooks]] in a couple of panels. His skills in fighting are hardly ever brought up anyway so it's not really a straight example.
* [[Invisible Parents]]: At least, he has his grandfather and sister...
** Leading to a case of [[Raised Byby Grandparents]].
* [[Jerkass]] [[Character Development|to]] [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Very much so in the RGB arc.
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[Personality Swap]]: Red and Green's Pokémon in RGB arc.
* [[The Rival]]: To Red in the first saga. He is actually the straightest one among all the rivals.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: If he ''doesn't'' ship Bill with his sister, he is at least fine with it.
* [[The Stoic]]: He's generally the most down to earth of the Dex Holders, except when his [[Berserk Button|grandfather is in danger]]...
* [[Taken for Granite]]
Line 169 ⟶ 166:
Green's first Pokemon that he's had since it was a Scyther.
 
* [[Big Creepy -Crawlies]]: Primary type.
* [[Blow You Away]]: Secondary type, pre-evolution.

A Pokemon that Green has owned since it was a Machoke. He evolved into a Machamp after Red and Green accidentally switched Pokemon.

==== (Green in the English Translation) ====
{{quote| ''"I can fool more than silly boys!"''}}
[[File:Green_Adventures.png|frame]]
She's initially a sneaky thief that just seems to care for money. She is aware of her fanservice-ness, and uses this to her advantage in her cons. That said, she is actually quite competent and can defend herself via Pokémon and or by tricks. Her first Pokémon is a Jigglypuff, while her starter is a Squirtle named Blasty.
----
* [[Action Girl]]: The first one in the series! Though she was more of a sneaky thief.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Type IV at first, develops into Type II overtime.
* [[Black Eyes]] -> [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Classy Cat Burglar]]
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: To Silver and sometimes Yellow.
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Blue' battles are made of this trope. Sabrina can come after you with hallucinations of your past? [[Distracted Byby the Sexy|No]] [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|Problem]]. Lorelei's capable of freezing people? [[Artificial Limbs|Alreadly thought of]]. Up against your childhood trauma? [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Well~]]
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Her and Silver's backstory in the GSC saga.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Her and Green's names were switched in the English translation.
* [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]] : As Sabrina in the RGB series.
* [[Guile Hero|Guile Heroine]]: Once she's unquestionably become one of the good guys.
* [[Fille Fatale]]: She uses her sex appeal to get what she wants. She flirted with Red and stole his stuff when they first met...however, upon growing up, she didn't become a [[Femme Fatale]].
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Phlegmatic with a dash of Melancholic.
* [[Gambit Roulette]]: Against Lorelei.
* [[Jerkass]] [[Character Development|to]] [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Like Green, in the RGB arc.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: invoked with her team, which she refrained from evolving until the FRLG saga, allegedly to lull her opponents into a sense of security.
* [[Little Black Dress]]: In the Kanto and Johto arcs.
Line 242 ⟶ 239:
* [[Naughty Is Good]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: Gets one as part of her new ensemble from Silver.
* [[NoblewomansNoblewoman's Laugh]]: Whenever Blue says something that will make Green comment what a pesky woman she is.
* [[Parents in Distress]]: In the FRLG arc.
* [[She Is's All Grown Up]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: Some with Green, Red, and Silver.
* [[The Smart Guy|The Smart Girl]]
* [[Snake Oil Salesman|Snake Oil Salesgirl]]: It's one way she managed to get by in life.
* [[Stealth Mentor]]: To Yellow; she is the one who got Yellow to go on her quest to start with.
* [[Taken for Granite]]
Line 253 ⟶ 250:
* [[Troll]]
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: While Blue isn't really ''weak'', her Pokémon's levels are considerably lower than Red's and Green's. However, all her major victories were due to clever tricks and strategies, so she doesn't have to spend all her free time training and battling.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Called out by Sabrina, her ally at the time, for her deception of her during the battle with Lorelei. Blue attempts a justification, but Sabrina's not buying it.
* [[White Gloves]]: She made a pair for herself and a black version for Silver to keep their hands warm while they were under the Masked Man. She no longer wears them as of FR/LG.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have to Be Birds?]]: Starts off the story with a crippling fear of bird Pokémon {{spoiler|due to the fact that she was drafted into the Masked Man's service after being kidnapped by Ho-oh}}. She got better.
 
=== '''Blue's Pokemon''' ===
Line 263 ⟶ 260:
 
* [[Lunacy]]
* [[Non -Elemental]]
 
=== '''Blasty (Kame-chan)''' ===
A Blastoise that Blue stole from Professor Oak when it was just a Squirtle.

Line 288 ⟶ 285:
* [[Blush Sticker]]

* [[Non -Elemental]]
* [[Our Fairies Are Different]]
 
Line 303 ⟶ 300:
* [[Bully Bulldog]]
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: As a Snubbull.
* [[Non -Elemental]]
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
* [[Punny Name]] / [[Lost in Translation]]: In the original Japanese version, Blue's Granbull is nicknamed "ブルー (Bull)". The pun is here is that Blue's name, when written in katakana, is written exactly the same as Snubbull's Japanese name, Bull. The only reason that we know that it even has a nickname is from [[All There in the Manual|Netkun]] and the fact that Blue calls her Granbull "Bull" even after evolving. This was not caught by translators and all official English translations refer to Bull by its species name.
Line 309 ⟶ 306:
== Yellow ==
=== Yellow -- The Healer ===
{{quote| ''"Humans and Pokemon can live together! I know it!"''}}
[[File:Yellow_Adventures.jpg|frame]]
She's the first main character in the manga not to be based on a game protagonist. Yellow appears in her own individual arc on a quest to find Red, who has mysteriously gone missing, and ends up defeating Lance. Her first Pokémon was a Rattata nicknamed Ratty caught by--you guessed it--Red. Her "starter" then was Red's Pikachu, Pika, and her "starter" now is her own Pikachu, Chuchu.
----
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: See [[Heavy Sleeper]] below.
* [[Action Girl]]: Despite her gentle personality, she definitely counts as one too.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Textbook example.
* [[Black Eyes]] -> [[Green Eyes]]: with a shade of dark yellow in it, too. Perhaps [[Hazel Eyes]]?
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Yellow is probably the most pacifistic and sweet-tempered of the Dex Holders who dislikes battling so much that she'd rather render her enemies immobile instead of outright hurting them, or just plain run away. However she knows when to get serious; threaten the Viridian Forest or try to [[Kill All Humans]], and the gloves are off.
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Badass Grinding]]: Even without the [[Superweapon Surprise]] in play, she still managed to take injuries from her fight with Lance in stride, even overcoming him in spite of them. Training under Green and facing the crisis instigated by the Kanto Elite Four certainly helped this along.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: She actually appears for the first time near the end of the first arc (when Red catches her Rattata for her, mentioned above), several chapters before her own arc begins.
* [[Compressed Hair]]: Whenever she wears her hat.
** [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Her high ponytail is already waist-length.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Everyone knows of her crush on Red, [[Oblivious to Love|except Red of course]]. The end of the GSC chapter implies Red does know of the crush.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Sanguine with a dash of Supine.
* [[Hammerspace]]: That pouch thing can hold her sketchbook and fishing rod without them being seen. At times it looks like she just pulls them out of her back.
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: Overusing her powers will force her to fall into a deep sleep, no matter how inopportune the situation. Worst situation of all was when she was {{spoiler|inside the out-of-control Team Rocket airship.}} Granted, before that happened, she had to use her powers a lot more than she usually did.
Line 337 ⟶ 334:
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Just ''where'' are they? (but at least the fisher uncle is there...)
* [[Pettanko]]: Helps out with the [[Bifauxnen|everybody-thinks-I'm-a-boy]] thing. Crystal, who is one year younger, clearly has bigger boobs than her. Hell, even Sapphire isn't quite as flat as Yellow as of the Emerald arc.
* [[Psychic Child]]: Can read the minds of Pokemon and has limited telekinesis. She is the youngest of the first-generation protagonists.
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Her Viridian-based powers include:
** [[Healing Hands]]
** [[Mind Over Matter]]
** [[Telepathy]]
** [[Super Empowering]]
* [[Red String of Fate]]: With Red.
Line 347 ⟶ 344:
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]/[[Bifauxnen]]: She conceals her gender by wearing a huge straw hat that hides her ponytail. It's only revealed later in her arc that she is, in fact, female.
** Also, considering the Yellow chapter is ''the second'', any instance of spoiler-marking her gender may make most of the fans groan, because [[You Should Know This Already]].
* [[She Is's All Grown Up]]: In FRLG as compared to RGB and Yellow arc. Though she could still pass for a boy, and she's still shorter than Silver (and probably everyone else, minus Emerald).
* [[Ship Tease]]: Sprinkled liberally with Red and arguably with Silver in the FR/LG arc.
* [[Skilled but Naive]]
Line 362 ⟶ 359:
Yellow's first Pokemon, which Red helped her catch after he saved her. His sharp teeth have proved useful in many situation.
 
* [[Non -Elemental]]
* [[Rodents of Unusual Size|Rodent of Unusual Size]]
 
Line 371 ⟶ 368:
* [[Blow You Away]]: Secondary type. Also knows Whirlwind.
* [[Multiple Head Case]]
* [[Non -Elemental]]: Primary type.

=== '''Gold''' -- The Hatcher/Breeder ===
{{quote| ''"...Pokemon are my [[True Companions|partners]]! We work alongside for the same goals because we are partners!"''}}
[[File:gold_67.png|frame]]
He's the first hero of the GSC arc. Gold comes from a well-to-do family, can be quite a flirt and thinks of Pokémon as his family as he grew up with a lot of them. His journey begins when he sees Silver steal a Pokémon from Elm's lab and decides to catch him himself. Gold's first Pokémon was an Aipom (nicknamed Aibo in Viz's translation and Ataro in Chuang Yi's translation) and his 'starter' was a Cyndaquil (nicknamed Exbo and Explotaro in Viz and Chuang Yi's releases respectively).
Line 415 ⟶ 412:
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Regularly hits on a pretty girl. [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|And Bugsy.]]
* [[Determinator]]: Losing battles and almost his own life practically five times to the [[Big Bad]]? Does not care!
* [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]]: and...
** [[Flung Clothing]]: {{spoiler|Happened when he wore and ditched the Guile armor disguise in the Emerald saga.}}
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Duh...
* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]
* [[Handsome Lech]]: He flirts with almost every woman he sees in the GSC saga (and in one instance, he flirted with [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Bugsy]]). He seemed to have stopped doing so in the Emerald chapter.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|GSC finale but got better.}}
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: In latter GSC.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: There were even flames in the background when he showed intense desire to beat up the Masked Man.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Out of all the Dex Holders, he's the only who hasn't completely grown out of it yet. Though to be fair, he is the only one acting his current age of 13.
** Sixteen as of HGSS. They grow up so fast...
* [[Indy Ploy]]: His are so blatant that mental objections fill the panel when he acts like he planned it all along.
** [[Gambit Roulette]]: {{spoiler|In the Emerald chapter, against Guile. From an ''[[Indy Ploy]]''.}}
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: He is ''very'' good with a Pool Cue.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: [[Not So Different]] from his rival in this respect, but he usually means well and just wants to show off.
* [[The Leader]]: Type III of the Johto Dex holders.
* [[The McCoy]]
* [[The Nicknamer]]: 'Strict Woman', 'Sexy Lady' and 'Prissy Boy' to name some.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Goes on to give the police an inaccurate description of Silver just so Gold can be the one to catch him.
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: Whenever he brags about something, others would call him "Liar" behind his back.
Line 437 ⟶ 434:
* [[Shonen Hair]]
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]
* [[Uncle Pennybags]]: Not as rich as Platinum Berlitz, but he is portrayed to have enough money to count as a literal rich idiot.
* [[Wild Hair]]: Whenever he takes his hat off, especially in HGSS.
 
Line 445 ⟶ 442:
One of the Pokemon that lived in Gold's home. He was originally the first and only Gold took on his journey until Gold realized he lost (and later retrieved) Polibo. Started out as an Aipom and later evolved when it learned Double Hit.

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: As a Cyndaquil.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]

Line 481 ⟶ 478:
* [[Eggshell Clothing]]: As a Togepi.
* [[Flight]]
* [[Like Father, Like Son|Like Trainer, Like Pokemon]]: Gold's ability to make his hatched Pokemon like him turned a Pokemon that is known for bringing happiness into a gambling delinquent.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: As a Togepi, he was badass, but won most of his battles through pure luck. Upon evolving twice, he became strong enough to face against Arceus and calm it down with a single attack. {{spoiler|Although he didn't actually hurt it.}}
 
=== '''Tibo/Mantaro (Mantarou) and Remoraid''' ===

* [[Punny Name]] / [[Lost in Translation]]: Like Bull, Pich is a nicknamed Pokemon who's name was not caught by any translators.

The second hero and [[The Lancer]] of the GSC saga. He's an [[Anti -Hero]] and works in ways that aren't always very favorable. Has a [[Dark and Troubled Past|secret, dark past]], but is usually just a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]. His first Pokémon is a Sneasel and his starter is a Totodile which he stole from the lab.
----
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Type IV at first, develops into Type II overtime.
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]

* [[Gray Eyes]]

* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: It turns out later that {{spoiler|he's the son of Team Rocket boss Giovanni.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Prophet Eyes]]:..might be temporary.}}
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Blue. A little with Yellow and Crystal too.

She's the third and last hero/ine of the GSC saga. Her name is usually shortened to Crys. Crystal stars in two books alone before teaming up with Silver and Gold. She was given a Pokédex after taking the job of catching Pokémon for the Professor so she can help the run down orphanage she's helping look after. Has caught all non-legendaries and is currently working as Oak's assistant. Her first Pokémon was a Smoochum named Chumee and starter is a Chikorita, (nicknamed Megaree in Viz's version and simply 'Mega' in Chuang Yi's version).

** Though she's more [[Cool Big Sis|like a cool older sister]] to Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Tsundere]]: Type B, mainly toward Gold (can you blame her?)
** She's like this in regard to catching as well, normally being a happy-go-lucky girl and suddenly switching to pure, stern professionalism when catching is involved (something Bill lampshades when he sees it happen: "Is this even the same girl!?")
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Out of all the Dex holders, possibly except Platinum Berlitz (who borders between black or dark blue), she seems to have the most unnatural blue hair in the cast.
** Though, of course, she originally had brown hair.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: HGSS outfit
** And almost a Grade S too, if not for the fact that her pigtails are inverted and she doesn't have a [[Tsundere]] personality.

{{quote| ''"True beauty lies in the heart! The heart that is capable of love!"''}}
[[File:Ruby_Special.png|frame]]
The first male protagonist of the RS Arc. Despite being the son of Gym Leader Norman, Ruby is deeply fixated on Pokémon contests and the beauty and appearance of his team. Naturally, this has put him at odds with his father. First Pokémon(s) are a Skitty named Coco, Poochyena named Nana and Ralts named Ruru. His starter is a Mudkip named Zuzu.
----
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Turned out to be straight, though.
** [[Camp Straight]]
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Type 2 with shades of Type 1.
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: Whenever he says something related to beautifying or contests.
* [[The Bet]]: Both he and Sapphire made a bet to accomplish their goals within 80 days. {{spoiler|It ends in a tie.}}
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He does whatever he can to avoid direct Pokémon confrontation. {{spoiler|Push him into it or remove him from the public eye, however, and you'll learn quick that five years isn't enough to dull his blade.}}
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Notable example includes him taking an unconscious Sapphire's measurements. [[Justified Trope|Justified]]; it's for modifying [[Limited Wardrobe|a change of his clothes]] for her.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: I'm running away from my home because my father can't accept my <s>sexuality</s> being a Pokémon Coordinator!

* {{spoiler|[[Idiot Hair]]: There's one under his hat.}}
* [[It Was Withwith You All Along]]: His search for the ultimate Contest Pokémon. {{spoiler|A Milotic, which Mimi eventually evolves into.}}
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Rather impetuous and vain, but his heart's in the right place.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Special mention for actually having a closet full of identical outfits, including multiples of [[Nice Hat|his hat]]. [http://www.otakuworks.com/view/76043/pokemon-adventures/vol-15-chp-180-190/read/42 Seen here.]
* {{spoiler|[[Kamehame Hadoken]]}}: No matter how much of an Asspull it may be, it. Was. '''AWESOME.'''
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: The [[Camp Straight]] to Sapphire's [[Tomboy]]. The fact that he's named after the pink or red colored Ruby, while Sapphire is named after the blue colored Sapphire accentuates this.
* [[May -December Romance]]: Marge/Courtney certainly seemed interested...
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: {{spoiler|Does this after realizing the consequences of yelling at his Feebas, Mimi.}}
* [[Nice Hat]]: {{spoiler|It also hides the scars he got from the Salamence listed below. The scars are his identifying mark without the hat in play.}}
** Plus many fans don't recognize him without the hat.
** The hat's the identifying mark? Seriously? [[Limited Wardrobe|And they don't mass-manufacture that style of hat?]]
** It's ''Ruby'', he probably made the hat himself.
* [[Non -Action Guy]]: What he becomes due to believing...
** [[ItsIt's All My Fault]]: {{spoiler|While he managed to repel a wild Salamence that attacked him and Sapphire five years prior to the bet, he dropped competitive battling after he mistakenly believes he tainted her "crystal-clear heart".}}
* [[Not in This For Your Revolution]]: {{spoiler|At first, he refuses to help Sapphire save the Hoenn region from certain catastrophe.}}
** [[Conscience Makes You Go Back]]: {{spoiler|Only to go back and help her a short while later}}
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: More like Obfuscating Incompetence. See [[ItsIt's All My Fault]].
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: In the absence of an audience to view his battling prowess.
* [[The Runaway]]: His father practically hunts him down for doing so.
* {{spoiler|[[Scars Are Forever]]}}
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]] : To Sapphire, He openly denies it when the chips are not down.
* [[Significant Name]]: He's named after the Pink-colored Ruby, which fits quite well with his status as the pink boy to Sapphire's blue girl.

* [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]]: {{spoiler|Had two [[What the Hell, Hero?]] moments ''in a row'' prior to the climax of the Ruby & Sapphire arc; He first refuses to aid Sapphire in saving Hoenn from destruction because ''"It wasn't his problem"'' and then [[Kick the Dog|takes out his anger]] [[The Woobie|on his Feebas]] for losing a contest.

[[File:Sapphire_Special.png|frame]]
The female protagonist for the RS arc. The yang to Ruby's yin, she assists Prof. Birch in his studies and is more than ready for anything nature can throw at her. After an argument with Ruby, she sets off both their journeys with a bet - she'll see Pokémon contests in a new light if he can get all the ribbons in ''80 days'', while she seeks to get all the local badges in that time limit. {{spoiler|This is inspired, in fact, by her own encroaching 11th birthday and the fact she wants to beat Red's record for defeating the Gym leaders.}} First Pokémon is an Aron named Rono while starter is a Torchic named Toro.
----
* [[Action Girl]]: So very much.
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: She's certainly more aggressive than May is as a NPC.
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Badass Normal]]: One of a small list of humans who fight Pokémon unaided. She does have her own, but she's hardly helpless without them.
Line 805 ⟶ 802:
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Probably to emphasize how a [[Wild Child]] she is.
* {{spoiler|[[Forgotten Childhood Friend]]}}
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Hilariously with Ruby.
** {{spoiler|Played straight in the beginning, but in the Emerald arc, she's pretty much ready to beat the shit out of him whenever he claims to have forgotten what exactly happened during the RS climax, including their love confessions to each other.}}
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: Red's achievements were actually the motivation for her journey in the first place.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Not as much as Pearl, Gold, or Black though (She ''may'' have started out on par with them, but she mellows out by the end.)
* {{spoiler|[[The Ingenue]]}}: Was this when she was younger. {{spoiler|It's also part of what crushed the younger Ruby so much when he thought he'd scared her.}}
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: She has absolutely no qualms in going around in a leaf bikini or taking her clothes off in front of strangers.
* [[Jungle Princess]]: She becomes this due to believing...
** [[ItsIt's All My Fault]]: {{spoiler|That same Salamence in Ruby's tragic backstory [[Harmful to Minors|cut him up]] before he chased it off. She blamed herself for her own weakness and inability to fight, and [[Going Native|went native]] as part of her assistance in Prof. Birch's research to rectify that. Along the way, she engaged in some [[Took a Level Inin Badass|badass grinding]], and only went from there after her wager with Ruby.}}
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: The [[Tomboy]] to Ruby's [[Camp Straight]]. The fact that she's named after the blue colored Sapphire, while Ruby is named after the pink or red colored Ruby accentuates this.
* [[The McCoy]]
* [[Significant Name]]: She's named after the Blue-colored Sapphire, which fits quite well with her status as the blue girl to Ruby's pink boy.
Line 821 ⟶ 818:
* [[Tsundere]]: To Ruby. Type A.
* [[Uptight Loves Wild]]: With Ruby as the Uptight and her as the Wild.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: While normally fearless, a recount of her fight with Frontier Brain Tucker during the Emerald saga suggests she still has trouble dealing with Salamence, most likely due to her previously mentioned encounter with one.
* [[Wild Child|Wild Girl]]: [[The Nicknamer|Gold's nickname]] for her. Sounds accurate.

{{quote| ''"It's not the Pokemon battles that I like! It's the Pokemon... and the people who like Pokemon!"''}}
[[File:Emerald_Adventures.png|frame]]
The protagonist of the Emerald arc. He is the second main character in the manga not to be based on a game protagonist. A trainer who loves Pokémon battles but not Pokémon ([[Character Development|at first]]), he utilizes a variety of gadgets and is a genius at item battles. He challenges the Hoenn Battle Frontier in his arc, claiming that he will subdue the Frontier Brains in the seven days prior to the opening ceremonies. {{spoiler|This coincides with the appearance of Jirachi in the Battle Frontier.}} He's the only main character whose first Pokémon is actually a starter, in this case Sceptile.
----
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Anti -Hero]]: A Type I and III hybrid.
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Just one glance tells him the origin site of a Pokémon. Given just how he calms the (unnaturally) frenzied Pokémon in the arc, it qualifies.
** Hence why he quickly bonded with Noland after their battle.
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: [[Tricked -Out Gloves|His hand extenders]] & [[Tricked -Out Shoes|platform shoes]] can count as this.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't call him short or hurt Crystal. {{spoiler|He will DECIMATE you.}}
* [[The Bet]]: He made a bet with the Frontier Brains that he will beat them all in seven days.
* [[Bratty Half -Pint]]: Just don't say it in his face.
* [[Drought Level of Doom]]: Emerald has to battle many times before facing the Frontier Brain in each facility, so it counts.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]/[[Chekhov's Gunman]]: {{spoiler|He was shown as a shadow in GSC.}}
** {{spoiler|Although you can't even recognize him since he hadn't adopted his distinctive hair by then, so it was more likely a [[Retcon]] that it was him in the first place.}}
** A straighter example would thus be the panel of his trainer card in the R/S arc.

** [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Said dwarfism also provided much teasing in his youth.
** [[Pint -Sized Kid]]: Taken to extremes.
* [[Refused Byby the Call]]/[[The Call Put Me Onon Hold]]: {{spoiler|At first he was refused to be given a [[Poké Dex]]PokéDex, only to be given to him much later after undergoing both the [[Secret Test of Character]] and several months of [[Training Fromfrom Hell]].}}

* [[Unusual Eyebrows]]: Look at the picture ''again''.
* [[Urine Trouble]]: He has a rather weird habit of peeing from the ''windows'' of tall buildings.

{{quote| ''"That's... [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Heinous?|not interesting at all!]]"''}}
[[File:diamond-vol34-rawcover_6632.jpg|frame]]
The first hero of the DP arc. His name is usually shortened to Dia. He's the fool in the comedy duo . He's always shown to be always eating and sleepy. But despite his foolish looking face, he is also quite sensitive to his surroundings and can detect the smallest things in a situation. First Pokémon is a Munchlax named Lax and starter is a Turtwig named 'Tru'.
----
* [[Adorkable]]: Face it - he's a mecha anime addict, loves to eat, a [[Butt Monkey]], rather emotional, often unintentionally funny, yet still remains a big [[Badass]]. He can't be anything but this.
Line 973 ⟶ 970:
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: He's actually very intuitive for his age, but he rarely shows it.
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Byron sends him into a personal training session with Riley at Iron Island for not being as strong or battle-smart as Pearl and Platinum, something even [[Word of God|Satoshi Yamamoto]] points out. He makes up for this with his courage and empathy later on.
* [[Casual Danger Dialog]]: He's normally unfazed even when the times are dire. An example [https://web.archive.org/web/20130716153459/http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Adventures_34/Pokemon_Special_v34_c378/Pokemon_Special_v34_v378_073-neuquant here.]
* [[Character Tics]]: Every now and then he slaps his cheeks when he feels determined.
* [[Cheerful Child]]: He's the only one out of the Sinnoh trio who seems to act like he's really 12 years old.
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: When Pearl points out that they have no duty other than protecting Platinum, Diamond says he still wants to stand up to the bad guy anyways.
** [[Martyr Without a Cause]]: He still wants to fight despite there being generally nothing at stake.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Yes, he IS quite of a dope and can be really slow sometimes, but he makes up for it with his quick logic and can stand the ground on [[Big Bad|Cyrus]] when he needs to.
* {{spoiler|[[Disney Death]]}}: {{spoiler|He got better.}}
* [[Dork Knight]]: Despite not being a real knight, he qualifies for this.
* [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]]: Dia disguises himself as a TG grunt by [[Mugged for Disguise|mugging a grunt's clothes]] in the latter DP saga.
* [[The Dulcinea Effect]]: Sort of. He becomes fiercely determined to protect Platinum upon a day of meeting her.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Byron is the first to notice that Pokemon become quite fond of him.
* [[Grew a Spine]]: One may think that he's just the quiet unassuming underdog of the comedy duo, but midway in the DP arc he reveals to Pearl that he wants to follow his own feelings and do what he wants for a change. He then goes on to be the biggest [[Badass]] of the DP arc.
* [[The Heart]]: His normalcy is what enables him to have the biggest heart in the series.
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: In a flashback, he was shown to be a fan of Red and has puppets of his Pokemon.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Him and Pearl.
** [[Bash Brothers]]: This too.

First Pokémon is a Chatot named Chatler and starter is a Chimchar named Chimler. His father is the leader of the Battle Frontier, and thus he has a great wealth of battling and training knowledge, which he often shares with Platinum Berlitz.

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Platinum, especially in the early chapters.
* [[Somebody ElsesElse's Problem]]: He at first doesn't want to have anything to do with Team Galactic because he believes that his and Dia's only priority is to protect Platinum.
* [[Tsundere]]: Is this to Platinum and Dia, but especially heavy on the ''tsun'' to Dia, as [http://www.otakuworks.com/view/84436/pokemon-adventures/vol-33-chp-369/read/14 shown here] -- the moment is also a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|CMoH]].
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Orange.
* [[The Leader]]: Type III due to his overbearing personality, though technically it's supposed to be Platinum.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: {{spoiler|He unleashes his entire team (and Rotom) out at Charon when he thinks that Dia is killed.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Dia calmly calls him out for not listening to his opinions and generally treating him like his underling. He realizes his mistakes, however, and the two quickly patch up after their battle with Cyrus.

The third hero of the DP arc and the heroine of the Platinum arc. She is the princess of the group and is supposedly on a journey to Mt Coronet to honor a family tradition. She acts very snobbish at first but is later revealed to be also sheltered and curious. First Pokémon is a Ponyta and her starter is a Piplup. She's lightened up quite a bit in the Platinum arc.

* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Is completely clueless about Diamond's obvious crush on her.

* [[The PresidentsPresident's Daughter]]
* [[Rich Bitch]]: A little bit at first.

[[File:200px-Black_Adventures_9440.png|frame]]
The male protagonist of the BW arc, he is an eager boy who wishes to challenge Gym Leaders and the Elite Four. First Pokémon are a Rufflet named Brav and a Munna named Musha while his starter is a Tepig named Tep.
Line 1,244 ⟶ 1,241:
* [[Ditzy Genius]]
* [[Face Fault]]: As a consequence for his being [[Super OCD]], he's rather prone to this.
* [[Green -Eyed Monster]]: {{spoiler|When White is going to compete in the Battle Subway, he acts like this, since he had turned down his own chances at trying it out, only for White to do so herself}}. This leads to a minor case of...
** {{spoiler|[[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]], as Black is encouraged to by Marshal to be a true friend and help White catch a Pokemon so that she can prepare for the Battle Subway. He even gives her Brav so she can have enough Pokemon to participate}}.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Hyper Awareness]]: He has very good deducing skills, but only after his head is cleared with his Munna's help.
* [[Invisible Parents]]: Cheren mentions that he has both a mother and a father, but they were never shown.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: He blew off his friends pretty quickly to start his adventure and would much rather obtain badges then take responsibility for the debt he placed on the B&W Corporation. That said, if he is called out on this, he [[Character Development|will make an effort to fix that attitude]].
* [[Large Ham]]: Just see his quote.
** [[Incoming Ham]]
Line 1,255 ⟶ 1,252:
* [[No Indoor Voice]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: He spent the whole night frantically searching for White, and when he sees a mysterious figure holding her, he brings out his ''whole'' team to fight against them.
* [[Shout -Out]]: His personality seems somewhat based on [[Soul Eater|Black Star's]], as shown with his constant shouts of [[Catch Phrase|YAHOO!]] and his dream [[To Be a Master|to be the best trainer]].
* [[Super OCD]]: Because he is incapable of thinking about anything but challenging the Pokémon League, he needs his Munna to eat away his dreams so that he can concentrate on the matters at hand.
** [[Fatal Flaw]]: And he ''really'' can't function without his Munna. In fact, just thinking too hard without it will cause him to pass out from exhaustion.
* [[To Be a Master]]: His goal.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Cheren verbally chews Black out for leaving him and Bianca in Nuvema with broken Pokedexes.
* [[Work Off the Debt]]: Black has a massive debt for destroying a movie set which White paid for. He is now stuck with her.
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: When he's [[Awesomeness By Analysis|analysing a situation]] after his mind has been 'blanked'. As seen [http://www.otakuworks.com/view/89816/pokemon-adventures-black-and-white/chp-02/read/12 here.]

=== '''White''' ===
{{quote| ''"Anything from acting in dramas, films, ads, plays to printing, please leave it to the BW Agency!!"''}}
[[File:200px-White_Adventures_2023.png|frame]]
The female protagonist of the BW arc, she is the president of a company that rents out Pokémon for commercial purposes, such as TV shows.
Line 1,316 ⟶ 1,313:
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Doing It for Thethe Art]]: Even if she loses money doing so, she always makes sure her Pokémon are in top shape and that her clients are satisfied.
* [[Genki Girl]]: She's very...eccentric.
** Part of it is an act to get work and promotion for her business.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: She says this word for word when the massage spa manager mistakes Black to be her boyfriend and insists that she go on a cruise with him.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: She'll do ''anything'' if her company's reputation is on the line.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: After Gigi abandons her for N, complete with [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]. Has since rebooted and is looking into the Battle Subway [[Took a Level Inin Badass|for an OS upgrade]].}}
* [[Improbable Age]]: Though we don't know her age yet, she is most definitely not an adult yet she works as the representative of a company.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Tells Black to call her "Boss" ("President" in the Japanese version).
* [[The Leader]]: type IV/I of the Black and White duo, even though she can't fight.
* [[Letting Her Hair Down]]: Unlike most examples, this signifies her depression. Incidentally, fans all agree she's much prettier with her hair down.
* [[Lovable Coward]]: Gives off this vibe, considering that her first reaction to being attacked by Pokémon always seems to be screaming.
* [[Neutral Female]]: She flat out tells Black that she has no Pokémon of her own and that she never participated in a battle in her life. {{spoiler|Is looking to [[Took a Level Inin Badass|hack out the "neutral"]] via the Battle Subway.}}
** Both the above tropes are somewhat ironic, considering that the female PC she's based on is a [[Memetic Badass]].
* [[Oh Crap]]: She freaks when she realizes that due to someone else's carelessness she doesn't have the Pokémon needed for a shooting.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: She doesn't actually expect Black to pay the entirety of his massive debt and only wants his Tepig around for a few more shootings.
** She also gives him time to train for his own goals.
* [[Ship Tease]]: At one point, she notices that she has been talking about Black a lot, and talks about how he is actually pretty cool. It doesn't help that she tries to make up an excuse.
* [[Tomboyish Ponytail]]
* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: She started out as not being a Trainer. After the incident with N, White decided to learn how to defend herself but wasn't very good at it initially. After training on the Battle Subway, White goes from being unable to defeat a single Pokemon to actually managing to get far enough to face the Subway Bosses, Ingo and Emmet.}}
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Sort of. White screams in fear {{spoiler|when she sees the Servine that N gave to her after he took her Gigi}}, but is ultimately revealed to be confusion instead of straight fear. Becoming species-phobic appears less likely.

A Tepig from the BW Agency.
