Wally (Japanese: ミツル Mitsuru) is one of the two rival characters in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Emerald, the other being Brendan/May. He is the first rival not to be the player's first battle, and the first rival not to have a starter Pokémon.

Wally is a young, sickly boy who just moved to Petalburg City. Despite his illness, his dream is to train Pokémon.

His illness is never explained, but his symptoms appear to clear up in clean air, so it may be asthma.

In the games

Role

Wally was a sick young boy who asked Norman, the Petalburg Gym Leader, to help him catch a Pokémon before he moves to Verdanturf Town to live with his aunt and uncle.

Norman allowed his child, the player of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to assist Wally, and loaned Wally a Zigzagoon.

Using this, Wally was able to capture a Ralts. This is the catching tutorial of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Ironically, it is the player who is teaching Wally to catch Pokémon.

Wally shows up again later in Mauville City, pleading with his uncle to let him challenge Wattson. He battles the player to prove his strength, but loses. He decides his uncle is right but says he will train to get stronger.

Wally eventually runs away from home and challenges the player at the end of Victory Road in Ever Grande City, seemingly totally recovered from his illness. He remains there, and it is possible to fight him several times per day.

Trivia

  • Though he is never classified as a "rival" in the games themselves, Wally essentially takes the place of Brendan/May as the player's rival after he/she decides to help with Professor Birch's studies rather than be a competitive Trainer.
  • He shares the same Chinese name with Dawn.
  • In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Wally challenges the player near the exit of Victory Road. However in Emerald he is met after crossing the first bridge.
  • It is possible for the capture tutorial to end with Ralts fainting. This can only happen if Zigzagoon is generated with 11 Attack, the wild Ralts has a nature that lowers Defense, an IV of 3 or less in HP, and 5 or less in Defense. With all this, Zigzagoon can do a maximum of 10 damage with its first Tackle, and after Growl is used on it, 7 with its second. This makes for a total of 17 damage, just enough to knock out Ralts. However, the game continues on as if it had been caught.
  • Wally is the first rival that the player cannot name. This does not count Brendan and May, as they are also player characters, and thus the player can name them if they are chosen.

Names

Language Name Origin
Japanese ミツル Mitsuru Tsuru, vine. Can mean "growing", "docile".
English Wally Can mean "ruler of the army" or "foreigner" as a diminutive of Walter or Wallace, respectively.
French Timmy Probably refers to the word "Timid"- which describes how Wally acts.
German Heiko German form of the English name "Henry".
Italian Lino
Spanish Blasco
Korean 민진 Min Jin 민/閔 Min is a Korean surname, but 閔 also means "mourn, grieve" as well as "urge on, incite", while 진 Jin in turn could mean 進/晉 "progression"; together it may reference Wally's story. Curiously, 민 min also means 玟/珉 "jade" while 진 jin could be 榛 "hazel"; two particular shades of green which are similar to Wally's color pallet.
Chinese (Mandarin) 小光 Xiǎo Guāng From 光 mitsuru. Literally "young light."
