'''Cross-canon counterparts''' are similar characters that appear in different parts of the [[Pokémon]] canon.
'''Cross-canon counterparts''' are similar characters that appear in different parts of the [[Pokémon]] [[canon]].


As a franchise with so many different forms of canon, Pokémon is famous for having multiple iterations of the same or similar characters, most of which have basis in the [[Pokémon games|games]]' [[Player character|main]] and [[rival]] characters. The characters in each form of the Pokémon canon which are closely related in their design will most often be recognizable in any of their forms, and may have similar relations to other characters with or without counterparts.
As a franchise with so many different forms of canon, Pokémon is famous for having multiple iterations of the same or similar characters, most of which have basis in the {{pkmn|games}}' {{player|main}} and [[rival]] characters. The characters in each form of the Pokémon canon which are closely related in their design will most often be recognizable in any of their forms, and may have similar relations to other characters with or without counterparts.


For example, both {{ga|Red}} and {{Ash}} are from [[Pallet Town]], live with their mother, receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Oak]], and begin their journey one step behind their [[Rival|rivals]], {{ga|Blue}} and [[Gary Oak|Gary]]. However, Red and Ash do not coexist, nor do Blue and Gary, as they are restricted to their specific canons.
For example, both {{ga|Red}} and {{Ash}} are from [[Pallet Town]], live with their mother, receive a [[first partner Pokémon]] from [[Professor Oak]], and begin their {{pkmn|journey}}s one step behind their rivals, {{ga|Blue}} and {{Gary}}, respectively. However, Red and Ash do not coexist (with the two only meeting when {{mas|Ash}} was transported from his world, into the world of [[Pokémon Masters EX]]), nor do Blue and Gary, as they are restricted to their specific canons.

Cross-canon counterparts are similar characters that appear in different parts of the Pokémon canon.

As a franchise with so many different forms of canon, Pokémon is famous for having multiple iterations of the same or similar characters, most of which have basis in the games' main and rival characters. The characters in each form of the Pokémon canon which are closely related in their design will most often be recognizable in any of their forms, and may have similar relations to other characters with or without counterparts.

For example, both Red and Ash are from Pallet Town, live with their mother, receive a first partner Pokémon from Professor Oak, and begin their journeys one step behind their rivals, Blue and Gary, respectively. However, Red and Ash do not coexist (with the two only meeting when Ash was transported from his world, into the world of Pokémon Masters EX), nor do Blue and Gary, as they are restricted to their specific canons.

Manga characters Red Blue Gold Silver Crystal Ruby Sapphire Diamond Platinum Pearl Crystal Cheren Bianca Y Shauna Tierno Trevor Hau Gladion Lillie Hop Marnie Nemona

Various other characters have differences between their game and alternate versions, such as Brock and Misty in the anime, and Wally in the Pokémon Adventures manga. However, they are not truly different enough to be considered as separate individuals.
