'''Brendan''' (Japanese: '''ユウキ''' ''Yuuki'') is the male choice for the [[player character]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their [[Generation VI]] remakes, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. He also serves as a [[rival]] in the same games if the player chooses to play as his female counterpart, {{ga|May}}.
 
==Terminology==
He is named '''Brendan''' (Japanese: '''ユウキ''' ''Yuuki'') when he appears as a [[non-player character]] in the [[Generation III]] games and their [[Generation VI]] remakes. He is also known by {{mas|Brendan|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].


==In the games==
He is known as '''Orlando''' (Japanese: '''オメガ''' ''Omega'') in pre-release media for [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], including the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. He is named  '''ラルド''' (''Rald'') in some screenshots of {{game|Emerald}} on the Japanese Nintendo website.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/bpej/frontier2/index.html Pokémon Emerald on Nintendo] (Japanese)</ref>
===Role===
If Brendan is selected as the player character he starts his journey moving from his home in Johto to his new home in the town of Littleroot in Hoenn. After saving Prof. Birch from a wild Pokémon, he is given one of the three starters of the Hoenn region. Brendan develops a close bond with {{ga|May}}, and eventually [[Wally]], who both act as his rivals. Brendan goes on to gather the eight Badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the Battle Frontier (in Emerald).


If Brendan is not selected as the player, he is helping his dad finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon Professor. He is also the player's rival and friend. Along with {{ga|May}} (when playing as Brendan), they are the only rivals unavailable for battle after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their [[starter Pokémon]] into its final form, except for in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where their starters have been fully evolved by the battle that takes place after the [[credits]].
==In the core series games==
===As the protagonist===

:''"<sc>Pokémon</sc> fully restored… Items all packed, and… Hey! You… Who are you? Oh, you're <{{player}}>, aren't you? Moved in next door, right? I didn't know that you're a girl.

{{main|Brendan (Masters)}}
Brendan, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Treecko}} and its evolved forms {{p|Grovyle}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, along with {{p|Latios}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Both his Sceptile and Latios are capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Brendan has been a playable sync pair since the game's release.


;{{rt|103|Hoenn}}
Brendan has also made notable appearances in the game's Main Stories: the [[PML Arc]], [[Legendary Adventures]], and the [[Villain Arc]].

For the start of Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn, Brendan's outfit from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} was released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].


* After battle
==Quotes==
:''"I think I get it. I think I see why my dad has his eye out for you now. Look, your <sc>Pokémon</sc> already likes you, even though you just got it. <player>, I get the feeling that you could befriend any <sc>Pokémon</sc> with ease. We should head back to the <sc>Lab</sc>.
{{main|Brendan (game)/Quotes}}


;[[Oldale Town]]
==Optional names==
:''"I'm heading back to my dad's <sc>Lab</sc> now. <player>, you should hustle back, too."''
In the game, two of the optional names—one in Ruby and one in Sapphire—refer to "land" and "sea" respectively. In the English version, these are '''Land'''on and '''Sea'''n; in the Japanese version, リクヤ '''''Riku'''ya'' and カイト '''''Kai'''to'' (陸 ''riku'' means land and 海 ''kai'' means sea). This is also the case in other languages. Additionally, in the English version, two of the shared names—Terry and Seth—seem to be influenced by the same theme.


;Professor Birch's lab
In Emerald, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, Professor Birch says "So it's <optional name>?", suggesting one of the 20 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.
:''"Huh… So you got a <sc>Pokédex</sc>, too. Well then, here. I'll give you this."''
:''"You know it's more fun to have a whole bunch of <sc>Pokémon</sc>. I'm going to explore all over the place to find different <sc>Pokémon</sc>. If I find any cool <sc>Pokémon</sc>, you bet I'll try to get them with <sc>Poké Balls</sc>."''

Brendan's only appearances in the main series are small cameos in the opening sequences of {{pkmn|movie}}s, specifically ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. He is shown to spend time in [[Battle Tower]]s. In all of his appearances, he has appeared with his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.
:''"Pokémon fully restored… Items all packed, and… Y-you… Who are [[May (game)|you]]? <player>? Oh, you're the new kid who just moved in next door?! Huh… I didn't know that you'd be a girl. [[Professor Birch|Dad]]—I mean, Professor Birch—told me you were the kid of a [[Norman|Gym Leader]], and I sort of hoped you'd be a guy. My name's Brendan. Well, I guess we are still neighbors, so… Nice to meet you! Let's be friends, OK? Huh? Hey, <player>… Don't you have any Pokémon? If you want, I can go catch you one. Aw, wait, I forgot… I'm supposed to be going out to help my dad catch some wild Pokémon. Some other time, OK?"''


;Route 103

That's why we do fieldwork. And this journey has really helped. I've met a lot of Pokémon on my way here and learned about them, too. Which reminds me! Come on!

Let's both give it one last push!"''

Later in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', a trainer was seen battling and catching Deoxys with Mega Rayquaza, although due to the trainers hidden face, it can't be 100% confirmed this was the same Brendan from ''[[PG07|The Vision]]''.

==Optional names==
==Trivia==
In the game, two of the optional names—one in Ruby and one in Sapphire—refer to "land" and "sea" respectively. In the English version, these are '''Land'''on and '''Sea'''n; in the Japanese version, リクヤ '''''Riku'''ya'' and カイト '''''Kai'''to'' (陸 ''riku'' means land and 海 ''kai'' means sea). This is also the case in other languages. Additionally, in the English version, two of the shared names—Terry and Seth—seem to be influenced by the same theme.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{SSB|Pikachu}} wears Brendan's headband from {{game|Emerald}} as an alternate costume. Also, the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} has an alternate costume with a similar color scheme as Brendan's Emerald outfit.
* He and {{ga|May}} are the only set of [[player character]]s who have a chance to speak with both a [[mother]] and a father in the {{pkmn|games}}.
* Before {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Brendan and May were the only rivals whose [[first partner Pokémon]] does not reach its final form.
* In the fandom, Brendan's [https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/40800048816209920 knit cap] has commonly been mistaken for white hair. Although largely obscured by his headwear, Brendan's actual hair is visible in most depictions, usually black in color.
* While the second battle with Brendan (or May if he is the player character) is optional, the encounter leading up to it is not.
** Therefore, after returning the [[Devon Goods]] before encountering Brendan or May in Rustboro City, if the player [[Black out|blacks out]] without ever visiting the [[Pokémon Center]] in Rustboro City (which causes the player character to rush to [[Petalburg City]]'s Pokémon Center instead), the encounter and optional battle take place in {{rt|104|Hoenn}} in front of [[Mr. Briney]]'s house instead.
* Similarly to May, Brendan's attire in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mainly based on his appearance in {{game|Emerald}}.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====In the main series====
[[File:Brendan anime.png|thumb|250px|Brendan's anime appearance]]
Brendan's only {{pkmn|anime}} appearances are small cameos in the movies, appearing in the openings of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Brendan seems to be a strong battler, as his cameos suggest he spends time in Battle Towers. In all of his appearances, he has appeared with his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.
 
Like in the games, he has the [[starter Pokémon]] that weakens {{an|May}}'s (May has a {{TP|May|Blaziken}} while he has a {{p|Swampert}}). It is unknown if his relatives are the same as that of the games, where, as May is [[Norman]]'s daughter (as the player is), Brendan would be [[Professor Birch]]'s son. However, Brendan has never been mentioned by him.
 
=====Pokémon=====
The following are Brendan's known Pokémon in the anime:

Brendan appeared in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]], where he was first seen sleeping in his house in [[Littleroot Town]]. A {{p|Treecko}} comes by and woke him up. He ran to {{ga|May}}'s house as the [[starter Pokémon]] were playing with one another. Brendan encountered a {{tc|Youngster}} and battled his {{p|Zigzagoon}} with {{p|Treecko}}.
 
Later, sometime after his Treecko evolved all the way up into Sceptile, Brendan battled {{Steven}} and his {{TP|Steven|Mega Metagross|Metagross}}. Brendan then [[soaring in the sky|soared in the sky]] with his Mega {{p|Latios}} alongside May and her Mega {{p|Latias}}.

Brendan (Japanese: ユウキ Yuuki) is the male choice for the player character in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and their Generation VI remakes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. He also serves as a rival in the same games if the player chooses to play as his female counterpart, May.

Terminology

He is named Brendan (Japanese: ユウキ Yuuki) when he appears as a non-player character in the Generation III games and their Generation VI remakes. He is also known by the same name in Pokémon Masters EX.

He is known as Orlando (Japanese: オメガ Omega) in pre-release media for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, including the Special Demo Version. He is named ラルド (Rald) in some screenshots of Pokémon Emerald on the Japanese Nintendo website.[4]

In the core series games

As the protagonist

May and Brendan after the events of the game

If Brendan is selected as the player character, he starts his journey moving from his home in Johto to his new home in the town of Littleroot in Hoenn. After saving Professor Birch from a wild Pokémon, he is given one of the three first partner Pokémon of the Hoenn region. Brendan develops a close bond with May, and eventually Wally, who both act as his rivals. Brendan goes on to gather the eight Badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of Team AquaSEAS/Team MagmaREOR and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the Battle FrontierE.

As a non-playable character

Brendan as the rival

If Brendan is not selected as the player, he is helping his father Birch finish the Hoenn Pokédex and becoming a Pokémon Professor. He is also the player's rival and friend. Along with May (when playing as Brendan), they are the only rivals unavailable for battle after entering the Hall of Fame. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not evolve their first partner Pokémon into its final form, except for in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where their first partner Pokémon have been fully-evolved by the battle that takes place after the credits.

Main article: Brendan (Masters)

Brendan, who is based on the player character, forms a sync pair with Treecko and its evolved forms Grovyle and Sceptile, along with Latios in Pokémon Masters EX. Both his Sceptile and Latios are capable of Mega Evolving. Brendan has been a playable sync pair since the game's release.

Brendan has also made notable appearances in the game's Main Stories: the PML Arc, Legendary Adventures, and the Villain Arc.

Quotes

Main article: Brendan (game)/Quotes

Optional names

In the game, two of the optional names—one in Ruby and one in Sapphire—refer to "land" and "sea" respectively. In the English version, these are Landon and Sean; in the Japanese version, リクヤ Rikuya and カイト Kaito (陸 riku means land and 海 kai means sea). This is also the case in other languages. Additionally, in the English version, two of the shared names—Terry and Seth—seem to be influenced by the same theme.

In Emerald, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, Professor Birch says "So it's <optional name>?", suggesting one of the 20 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

In the TFG

There are three Trainer figures based on Brendan. They are versions of Brendan with the same design, but with different colors. In all figures, Brendan uses his sweater and backpack from Pokémon Emerald, and his pants and shoes from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

  • Brendan (Japanese: ユウキ Yūki) from Next Quest, wearing clothes with blue in place of the red or orange colors from the other figures.
  • Landon (Japanese: リクヤ Rikuya) from Groundbreakers, wearing clothes with the color palette from Ruby and Sapphire.
  • Sean (Japanese: カイト Kaito), from the Unnamed Third Set, wearing clothes with the color palette from Emerald.

The Brendan figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Landon and Sean figures were not released either.

Brendan's only appearances in the main series are small cameos in the opening sequences of movies, specifically Jirachi: Wish Maker, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, and Giratina and the Sky Warrior. He is shown to spend time in Battle Towers. In all of his appearances, he has appeared with his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.

Unlike in the games, he has never interacted with May. It is unknown if he has ever met her, or even if his parents are the same as in the games, as neither Norman nor Professor Birch has mentioned him.

Pokémon Generations

Brendan in Pokémon Generations

Brendan appeared in The Vision, where he was first seen battling several Team Magma Grunts with his Sceptile while infiltrating the Team Magma Hideout, before running into Courtney. She then challenged him to a battle with her Camerupt just as Maxie and the rest of Team Magma headed for the Seafloor Cavern aboard Submarine Explorer 1.

Much like the other player characters depicted in Pokémon Generations, Brendan doesn't have any lines of dialogue.

Later in The Scoop, a trainer was seen battling and catching Deoxys with Mega Rayquaza, although due to the trainers hidden face, it can't be 100% confirmed this was the same Brendan from The Vision.

Brendan in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer

Brendan appeared in the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer, where he was first seen sleeping in his house in Littleroot Town. A Treecko comes by and wakes him up. He then runs to May's house as the first partner Pokémon were playing with one another. Brendan encountered a Youngster and battled his Zigzagoon with Treecko.

Later, sometime after his Treecko evolved all the way up into Sceptile, Brendan battled Steven and his Mega Metagross. Brendan then soared in the sky with his Mega Latios alongside May and her Mega Latias.

Trivia

  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pikachu wears Brendan's headband from Pokémon Emerald as an alternate costume. Also, the Pokémon Trainer has an alternate costume with a similar color scheme as Brendan's Emerald outfit.
  • He and May are the only set of player characters who have a chance to speak with both a mother and a father in the games.
  • Before Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Brendan and May were the only rivals whose first partner Pokémon does not reach its final form.
  • In the fandom, Brendan's knit cap has commonly been mistaken for white hair. Although largely obscured by his headwear, Brendan's actual hair is visible in most depictions, usually black in color.
  • While the second battle with Brendan (or May if he is the player character) is optional, the encounter leading up to it is not.
    • Therefore, after returning the Devon Goods before encountering Brendan or May in Rustboro City, if the player blacks out without ever visiting the Pokémon Center in Rustboro City (which causes the player character to rush to Petalburg City's Pokémon Center instead), the encounter and optional battle take place in Route 104 in front of Mr. Briney's house instead.
  • Similarly to May, Brendan's attire in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mainly based on his appearance in Pokémon Emerald.
