Wilton: Difference between revisions

Wilton (Japanese: ヒデノリ Hidenori), is a Fisherman, one of the few ordinary Trainers who have appeared in other canons besides the games.

In the games

Wilton is found in the Generation II games and their remakes on Route 44, the path between Mahogany Town and the Ice Path & Blackthorn City. He is one of the many Trainers that the player can register in the Pokégear for a rematch at a later time, and, in Generation II, he will sometimes call the player to notify them of mass outbreaks of Remoraid on Route 44.

In Pokémon Adventures

In Pokémon Adventures, Wilton is is Yellow's uncle. He was the one who taught Yellow how to fish, and gave Yellow her Doduo, which later evolved into a Dodrio.

Wilton first appeared in Teddiursa's Picnic on Route 32. When he was there, he met Gold, who asked him if he saw a Poké Ball that contained his Poliwag. He informed Gold of a person who had been stealing Pokémon out of Trainers' hands. Ironically, as he was telling Gold this, the person snatched his Octillery's Poké Ball. Gold, using his skill of shooting Poké Balls with a billiards cue, hit the thief in the jaw, causing it to fall into the water, revealing that it was in fact a Granbull. They then realized that it had been stealing all the Poké Balls for attention in order to get help for its jaw, which was fixed with Gold's shot. It then gave them back the Poké Balls it had stolen (including Polibo's ball). Afterward, Wilton gave Gold his Pokégear number. After Gold left, Wilton compared Yellow's fishing skills with Gold's skill with billiards.

He later appeared in VS. Tyranitar, where he went to Viridian City and told his niece to go to Johto. Later, in Sticky Lickitung, he arrives back in Johto with her, and meets up with Crystal. He takes the two girls to the Whirl Islands soon after. It is there that they encounter Lugia and fight it. A while later, it was revealed that he, along with Yellow, had gone to Ecruteak City weeks beforehand, where Yellow lifted the curse that was on the Legendary Beasts. When Team Rocket attacked the Pokémon Day Care on Route 34, he defended the old couple that owned it and all the Pokémon there. It is also there that he learns of the relation between Agatha, Professor Oak, the Day Care Couple, Kurt and Pryce.
