== The Main Characters ==
===[[The Hero]]===
A human who wakes up on the shore to find he/she has been [[Baleful Polymorph|mysteriously transformed]] into [[Cursed with Awesome|a Pokemon]], with no memory of how or why... or [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|much of anything]] beyond [[Hello, Insert Name Here|their own name]]. As if that wasn't strange enough, he/she quickly learns that he/she ''also'' possesses a strange power that gives them brief visions of various events... It's revealed at the end of the game that the one responsible for the hero's transformation and memory loss was {{spoiler|Darkrai}}.
* [[Audience Surrogate]]
* {{spoiler|[[Back from the Dead]]}}
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* {{spoiler|[[Terminator Twosome]]: He/she and Grovyle were both sent back in time to prevent the [[Bad Future]] from developing. Dusknoir was sent back to prevent this.}}
===The Partner===
A young Pokemon who dreams of becoming a great explorer... but is too intimidated to join the local guild. After meeting the hero, he/she decides to try signing up as a team, reasoning that his/her new friend will help them learn how to be brave. Treasures a small rock with a strange design on it, which he/she named a 'Relic Fragment'; someday, he/she hopes to discover just where it came from...
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Starts out as a [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type I]].
* [[Character Development]] - Starts out as very timid and easily intimidated, but gradually grows over the course of his/her many adventures with the hero.
Line 34 ⟶ 36:
===Guildmaster Wigglytuff===
[[File:Wigglytuff_9702.png|frame]]
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: "Igglybuff The Prodigy" in ''Explorers of Sky'' has you play as him. He is also a major character in "Here Comes Team Charm!", and has a [[Big Damn Heroes|rather memorable scene]] in "Bidoof's Wish" as well.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
Line 55 ⟶ 57:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Perfect Apples.
===Chatot===
[[File:Chatot_3685.png|frame]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] - With Wigglytuff.
Line 70 ⟶ 73:
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]
===Bidoof===
[[File:Bidoof_9823.png|frame]]
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: "Bidoof's Wish" in ''Explorers of Sky''.
* [[Catch Phrase]] / [[Verbal Tic]]: "Yup yup!" and "Oof!"
Line 81 ⟶ 85:
* {{spoiler|[[The Unfought]]: He doesn't participate in the Grand Master of All Things Bad battle, unlike the rest of the guild.}}
===Sunflora===
[[File:Sunflora_7682.png|frame]]
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Catch Phrase]] / [[Verbal Tic]] - "Eek!" and especially "Oh my gosh!" Her special episode is named after the latter, and for a very good reason. <ref>She says "Oh my gosh!" 29 times in said episode, excluding two seen in flashbacks and one single use of "gosh".</ref>
Line 94 ⟶ 99:
* [[Tsundere]] - Type B, towards Loudred.
===Loudred===
[[File:Loudred_5830.png|frame]]
* {{spoiler|[[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] - Explicitly acted out in Sunflora's Special Episode, right down to the "I'm not here because I ''care'' or anything" blatant lie.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Incendiary Exponent]]}} - Same as Sunflora.
Line 104 ⟶ 110:
* [[Tsundere]] - Type A
===Diglett===
[[File:Diglett_6127.png|frame]]
* [[Catch Phrase]] / [[Verbal Tic]] - Subverted, he's one of the few apprentices to ''not'' have one.
* [[The Generic Guy]] - Like Corphish, Diglett is one of the most "normal" of the guild members.
** [[Only Sane Man]] - Especially when compared with, say, [[Large Ham|his dad]] or [[No Indoor Voice|Loudred]].
===Corphish===
[[File:Corphish_5842.png|frame]]
* [[Catch Phrase]] / [[Verbal Tic]] - "Hey, hey!"
* [[The Generic Guy]] - Perhaps the ''least'' quirky member of the whole guild. Doesn't help that most of his accomplishments get [[Overshadowed by Awesome]].
===Chimecho===
[[File:Chimecho_774.png|frame]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the English dub of the anime special, Chimecho was voiced by [[Ah! My Goddess|Kether Donahue, Skuld from Ah! My Goddess!]]
* [[The Medic]] - Acts as the guild's healer both on and off the field.
Line 124 ⟶ 133:
* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]
===Dugtrio===
[[File:Dugtrio_3376.png|frame]]
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: In ''Bidoof's Wish'', his AI isn't programmed to take into account Bidoof's IQ skills or Treasure Bag. Due to this, he can accidentally one-hit-KO Bidoof with Earthquake. {{spoiler|This also happens in the Grand Master of All Things Bad battle, with the exact same allies as the special episode, minus Bidoof. Apparently, he hasn't learned.}}
Line 132 ⟶ 142:
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]
===Croagunk===
[[File:Croagunk_4990.png|frame]]
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]] - While viewed as a bit strange, still [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|a rare example of a Poison-type who isn't treated as purely evil]] ''or'' having the "out" of [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?|being half-Grass-type]].
* [[Evil Laugh]]: "Meh-heh-heh!"
Line 141 ⟶ 152:
* [[Willfully Weak]]: It's said that he's already skilled enough to graduate from the guild, but chooses not to because he doesn't want to leave his swap cauldron, which is permanently stuck to the floor of the guild's quarters.
===Team Skull===
* [[Bullying a Dragon]] - Not only do they keep picking on the hero and their partner even as they grow ever stronger, they even go after {{spoiler|Wigglytuff}} at one point. Really bad idea.
* [[Combination Attack]]: Skuntank and Koffing's "noxious gas special".
Line 162 ⟶ 173:
** [[Dual Boss]]
===Team Charm===
A famous trio of all-female explorers that appears primarily during the epilogue arc. Lopunny is the leader, traveling with her best friends Medicham and Gardevoir. Their exploits are well-known, and they have plenty of adoring fans.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: "Here Comes Team Charm!" in ''Explorers of Sky''.
* [[Amazon Brigade]]
Line 174 ⟶ 186:
* [[The Pollyanna]] - Lopunny maintains a constant optimistic bliss regardless of the conflicts she and the team face.
===Team AWD===
An Arbok, Weavile and Drapion who are always searching for greater challenges and treasures. Lady Weavile is the team's no-nonsense leader.
* [[Ascended Extra]] - In the main game, their only purpose is to advertise the Zero Isle dungeons. They become plot relevant in ''Sky''{{'}}s Team Charm episode.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: {{spoiler|Double subverted in ''Sky'', where you're told that they're a team of ruffians that will hurt others in their attempts to get treasure... and then find out that the incident you were told of was a lie by the guardian of the area to get you two to fight each other and take enough damage that neither of you would find the cave's [[McGuffin|treasure]].}}
* [[Sssssnaketalk]] - Arbok.
===Team Ebony===
A Shuppet and Murkrow. While both want to go searching for treasures, they can't seem to agree on what ''type'' they should target -- Murkrow wants to go after the shiniest treasures, while her partner Shuppet prefers rarity to sparkliness.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]
===Team Flame===
As the name implies, a Fire-focused team; two of the three members, Ponyta and Camerupt, are Fire-types. The leader, Bellsprout, is a Grass-type, which means he's on the wrong side of [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]. Despite this, he tries to be a good commander, and his teammates care deeply about him.
* [[Odd Friendship]]
===Team Glee===
A cheerful team made up of Togepi, Ledyba and Politoed; they like bringing happiness to others.
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Keet]]
===Team Poochy===
The three Poochyena Brothers make up this team of bounty hunters. They exclusively hunt criminals, preferably the ones with the best rewards and least difficulty.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]] - Dark-types exclusively ''against'' "evil" outlaws, in fact!
* [[Only One Name]]
===Team Razor Wind===
Zangoose, Sandslash and Scyther make up this team, which derives its name from their speed and razor-sharp claws. Notably appeared in the first anime special, and had a very brief cameo in the second.
* [[The Worf Effect]] - Their [[Cameo]] in the first ''Time/Darkness'' anime adaptation was simply to demonstrate {{spoiler|Wigglytuff's strength by having him whup their tails offscreen, as well as Gabite's by having him do the same.}}
* [[Worthy Opponent]] - Zangoose dreams of battling Team Charm.
===Team Rogue===
A team that only appears in ''Sky''; considering that they're completely unashamed thieves and bullies... Bagon and Gligar are a pair to watch out for. {{spoiler|And then there's their leader...}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Con]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Oh Crap]] - Their reaction when the rest of the guild shows up is ''priceless''.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: Snover pulls one on Bidoof.}}
===Team Seedgey===
A Seedot and Pidgey duo; their team name is derived from both their names.
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: Their team name just smashes their names together.
===Team Slacker===
A Slowpoke and Slakoth who [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|aren't very interested in exploring]], so they tend to hang around the Guild and Treasure Town instead. Very easygoing.
* [[Dismotivation]]
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: They themselves constantly point out that they're not really sure why they made a rescue team since they're so lazy.
* [[The Slacker]] - [[Captain Obvious|Obviously]].
===Team Tasty===
A happy-go-lucky Swellow and neurotic Wurmple, the latter of whom is utterly convinced that his partner will eat him if he ever gets hungry enough.
* [[Big Eater]] - Swellow sure does talk about food a lot...
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]] - Non-romantic version; Wurmple's too afraid to just ''tell'' Swellow why he's so jumpy and nervous all the time... {{spoiler|And when he finally manages it, Swellow is promptly horrified.}}
Line 218 ⟶ 240:
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]
===The Kecleon Brothers===
A pair of Kecleon who run the local Item Shop. The green one handles regular items while the purple one specializes in TMs and Orbs. Always changing their inventory.
* [[Badass Bystander]]: Should you provoke them in a [[Dungeon Shop]], you'll find that they're ''level 90 and permanently at double speed''. Playing this trope more straight, it is possible under very rare circumstances for them to begin fighting the wild Pokemon alongside you, without actually joining your team.
* [[Easily Angered Shopkeeper]] - They're friendly enough in Treasure Town, but when found running their [[Dungeon Shop|Dungeon Shops]]...
* [[Only One Name]]
===Kangaskhan===
A matronly Kangaskhan who takes care of the locals' Storage. Always has kind words for everyone, and calls others terms of endearment like 'dear' or 'sweetie'.
* [[Team Mom]]
===Xatu===
Runs "Xatu Appraisal"; he uses his strange abilities to see into sealed chests ''before'' opening them (which he immediately does afterwards, as that's the service he offers). Speaks in an overly grandiose fashion.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Kwee- Kwee KWAH!"
* [[Magical Native American]] (possibly)
Line 234 ⟶ 259:
* [[The Stoic]] - Though he does seem to like Team Charm, much like most of the other male villagers.
===Electivire===
The energetic owner of "Electivire Link Shop", where he teaches customers how to [[Combos|link moves together]]. He can also help Pokemon remember any moves they've forgotten.
* [[Gentle Giant]] - He looks intimidating, but he's really a nice guy.
===Chansey===
Basically a babysitter-for-hire, Chansey will look after any eggs that others bring her, taking care of them until they hatch.
* [[Fan Girl]] - Of Team Charm.
* [[Team Mom]] - Maybe not as much as Kangaskhan, but her job ''is'' to take care of eggs...
===Duskull===
Teller of the "Duskull Bank", where Pokemon store any money they don't want to risk losing if an adventure goes horribly wrong.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]
===Marowak===
The new head of the local Dojo, which was forced to close down for lack of customers some time ago. As such, he's almost painfully eager for any new customers to show up and start using the faculties. These courses aren't as harrowing or punishing as normal mystery dungeons (primarily in that there's no penalty for defeat), so they're great for training.
* [[Lovable Coward]] - He has an obsessive fear of the hardest maze in his own dojo. To the point that he sealed it off.
===Azurill and Marill===
Two cute youngsters. Despite their youth, they're both very responsible and polite, running errands for their mother and staying out of trouble... or, at least, not actively ''looking'' for trouble.
* [[Cheerful Child|Cheerful Children]]
===Teddiursa and Ursaring===
Usually found hanging out together, these two villagers are always ready to weigh in with their thoughts on the latest news. {{spoiler|Teddiursa eventually chooses to evolve, making telling them apart a bit difficult.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Only One Name]] - Becomes a minor issue after Teddiursa evolves.}}
* [[Keet]]
===Vigoroth===
Acts as the town barker; whenever a new business reopens, Vigoroth can be found running around town announcing this and pointing customers its way.
===Spinda===
Opens a Cafe [[Updated Rerelease|in Sky which provides extra services]]. Can be a bit... loopy at times, but he's good at mixing drinks, and gives others a place to run their own new businesses. How they ''stay'' in business is anyone's guess...
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander
* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]}}
*
*
*
*
* [[Absent-Minded Professor]] - Slight variation; while he's not actually a teacher of any sort, he ''is'' the town elder and is quite knowledgeable... and quite forgetful.
*
===Grovyle===
[[File:Grovyle_1783.png|frame]]
* [[Anti-Villain]]: At least he apologizes to Uxie and Mesprit when he takes the Time Gears. {{spoiler|Subverted in that he was a good guy to begin with.}}
* [[Badass]]
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Knows the move Dig.
* [[Fan Fic Magnet]]: Between guessing at his [[Backstory]] or what the heck HAPPENED to him after {{spoiler|he disappears with Dusknoir back into the future, or wanting to [[Fix Fic|write him back into the story]]}}, fanfic authors have been all over him. Naturally, the bonus content in ''Sky'' [[Jossed]] most of this.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the anime specials, he is voiced by

===Dusknoir===
[[File:Dusknoir_3064.png|frame]]
* [[The Ace]]: {{spoiler|At first}}
* [[An Ice Person|An Ice Pokemon]]: Knows the move Ice Punch.
Line 311 ⟶ 346:
* {{spoiler|[[Villain with Good Publicity]]}}
===Sableye===
A pack of six jailers who assist Dusknoir in the capture of Grovyle. {{spoiler|Better known as his minions.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]] - Their first act of defiance against Primal Dialga is to claw at him. More like a failed attempt at [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|punching him out]], but it works.}}
Line 323 ⟶ 358:
* {{spoiler|[[True Companions]] - They're Dusknoir's minions, through and through.}}
===Celebi===
[[File:Celebi_8220.png|frame]]
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]] - [[Invoked]]: the plot-relevant Celebi is Shiny, meaning she's pink rather than green.
Line 330 ⟶ 366:
* [[Tsundere]] - Type B, towards Grovyle. Arguably.
===Spiritomb===
A being composed of 108 fused spirits.
* [[Large Ham]] - At times, especially given the emphasis he puts on random words.
* [[108]]
Line 337 ⟶ 374:
* {{spoiler|[[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]] - When a very angry Dialga shows up after Dusknoir's betrayal.}}
===Dialga===
The local master of the timeline. Doesn't appear in person much, but he's benevolent enough. {{spoiler|His descent into madness as Primal Dialga drives most of the pre-credits plot.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]] - Or so it seems at first...}}
** {{spoiler|[[Demoted to Dragon]] - Revealed to not actually be the [[Big Bad]] by the end of the post-credits story.}}
Line 352 ⟶ 390:
* [[Time Master]]
===Armaldo===
A hermited explorer who taught Wigglytuff all he knows about exploring. Appears in Sky version's bonus content.
* [[Big Brother Mentor]] - Becomes this to Igglybuff over time.
* [[The Boo Radley]] - He lives in a dark forest and pretends to be a monster to scare off explorers, but he's actually a very nice guy. {{spoiler|Except he's a wanted 'mon.}}
Line 362 ⟶ 401:
* [[Retired Badass]]
===Cresselia===
Appears in the post-credits plot.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]] - Arrives [[Just in Time]] to prevent the heroes' deaths at the hands of an imposter.}}
* [[Psychic Powers]]
===Palkia===
Appears in the post-credits plot.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]] - Just as it appears that Darkrai is about to get away by escaping through a dimensional hole, Palkia shows up and attacks Darkrai as he begins to time travel. This causes Darkrai to lose his memories the same way that he caused the player character to lose his/her memories at the beginning of the game.}}
* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: Being the god of space allows him to go wherever he pleases; his last IQ skill allows him to move through walls, tearing them down.
Line 378 ⟶ 419:
* [[Space Master]]
===Darkrai===
Appears in the post-credits plot. {{spoiler|He's the game's real [[Big Bad]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Bad Powers, Bad People]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]}}
