'''Hilda''' (Japanese: '''トウコ''' ''Touko'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Hilbert}}.
 
==Terminology==
The name '''Hilda''' (Japanese: '''トウコ''' ''Touko'') comes from her NPC appearance in the Battle Subway. It is also her most commonly used name, being used in merchandising and the {{g|Masters EX}} [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]].


==In the games==
She was named '''White''' (Japanese: '''ホワイト''' ''White'') in certain pre-release material. English demos for Black and White refer to the character as '''Whitlea''', while English screenshots refer to her as '''Shiro'''. If a transferred Pokémon that has a trainer with a prohibited name comes from Black or Black 2, the Pokémon's OT will be set to '''Kuro''' (Japanese: '''ブラック.''' ''Black.''), while Pokémon from White or White 2 will have their OT set to '''Shiro''' (Japanese: '''ホワイト.''' ''White.'')

As well as encountering and battling her childhood friends at various points during her journey, Hilda will also meet a young man known as [[N]], who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Hilda will battle several times during the course of the game. Hilda will also battle [[Team Plasma]] at various stages of her journey. At the game's climax, Hilda is recognized as a hero by {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, depending on the version.

Hilda (Japanese: トウコ Touko) is the female player character in Pokémon Black and White. Her male counterpart is Hilbert.

Terminology

The name Hilda (Japanese: トウコ Touko) comes from her NPC appearance in the Battle Subway. It is also her most commonly used name, being used in merchandising and the Pokémon Masters EX spin-off game.

She was named White (Japanese: ホワイト White) in certain pre-release material. English demos for Black and White refer to the character as Whitlea, while English screenshots refer to her as Shiro. If a transferred Pokémon that has a trainer with a prohibited name comes from Black or Black 2, the Pokémon's OT will be set to Kuro (Japanese: ブラック. Black.), while Pokémon from White or White 2 will have their OT set to Shiro (Japanese: ホワイト. White.)

In the core series games

Pokémon Black and White

As the protagonist

Hilda is a 14-year-old girl who lives in Nuvema Town, along with her childhood friends Cheren and Bianca. If chosen as the player, she will receive a first partner Pokémon and a Pokédex from Professor Juniper. After setting off on her Pokémon journey at the same time as Cheren and Bianca, Hilda will at some point be asked by Fennel to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Hilda will receive a C-Gear.

As well as encountering and battling her childhood friends at various points during her journey, Hilda will also meet a young man known as N, who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Hilda will battle several times during the course of the game. Hilda will also battle Team Plasma at various stages of her journey. At the game's climax, Hilda is recognized as a hero by Reshiram or Zekrom, depending on the version.

As a non-playable character

If not chosen as the player, Hilda appears as the player's partner in the Battle Subway when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants her to base her team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Hilda's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

In Black 2 and White 2, the protagonist of Black and White was said to be searching for N in a faraway region and has not yet returned home. Her mom mistakes the player for her.
