'''Wally''' (Japanese: '''ミツル''' ''Mitsuru'') is one of the two [[rival]] characters in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], the other being {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}. He is the first rival not to be the {{player}}'s first {{pkmn|battle}}, and the first rival not to have a [[starter Pokémon]]. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Wally in his later battles possesses a {{p|Gallade}} that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] with his handmade wooden Mega Pendant which holds his [[Key Stone]]. The Mega Pendant is shaped like a Gallade's head.

Wally is a young, sickly boy who just moved to [[Petalburg City]]. Despite his illness, his dream is to train {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In his room, in Petalburg City, there are a lot of books about how to raise and battle with Pokémon covered in sticky notes, a notebook which has been written and erased again and again and a terrestrial globe with pins in places in the [[Kalos]] and [[Unova]] regions, suggesting that he has been dying to go outside and catch Pokémon for a long time.

His illness is never explained, but his symptoms appear to clear up in clean air, suggesting that it is either {{wp|acute bronchitis}} or {{wp|asthma}}.

==In the games==
===Role===
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, and Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], Wally is a sickly young boy who first appears in [[Petalburg City]], asking [[Norman]], the [[Petalburg Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]], to help him catch a Pokémon before he moves to [[Verdanturf Town]] to live with his aunt and uncle. Norman asks his child, the {{player}}, to assist Wally and loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. Using this Pokémon, Wally is able to capture a {{p|Ralts}}. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after catching his Ralts, Wally will give the player a new app for their [[PokéNav]] as thanks, the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}}.

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 become stronger.

Wally eventually runs away from home and challenges the player at {{ho|Victory Road}}, seemingly recovered from his illness. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he remains at Victory Road and can be [[rematch]]ed after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].

In the [[remake]]s of Ruby and Sapphire, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Wally's Ralts eventually evolves into a {{p|Gallade}} instead of a {{p|Gardevoir}}. At some point in the game, Wally also obtains a [[Key Stone]] and {{DL|Key Stone|Appearance|Mega Pendant}}, allowing his Gallade to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. He is also revealed to have obtained all eight badges before the player meets Wally at Victory Road as he becomes a Certified Trainer at every Gym. The player can follow Wally's progress on the Hoenn News Network and see his name on the Gym statues starting from the time [[Mt. Chimney]] is explored.

In the [[Delta Episode]], Wally is being harassed by Courtney{{sup/6|AS}}/Matt{{sup/6|OR}} who attempts to steal his [[Key Stone]]. Wally thanks the player when the player defeats Courtney/Matt, but reveals that his Key Stone had already disappeared before the Admin had arrived. At the end of the Delta Episode, Wally leaves his home again, with his Key Stone having been returned by the player.

Later on, Wally arrives at the [[Battle Resort]] with an S. S. Ticket from Norman and grows stronger through his time at the Battle Resort. Wally re-battles the player at the [[Battle Maison]] but can only be battled again once the player has beaten one of the {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s in a Super Battle. Wally can also be selected as a partner for the [[Multi Battle]] challenge at the Battle Maison. Through his time at the Battle Maison, Wally is revealed to have met a lot of people who have helped him grow as a Trainer. He is revealed to be a strategic, enthusiastic Trainer who studies various move combinations and the allocation of base stats, who is willing to change his team make-up and Pokémon's moves to become stronger.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Wally appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent the player can battle and subsequently recruit.

;[[Petalburg Gym]]
:''"Um… I… I'd like to get a <sc>{{OBP|Pokémon|species}}</sc>, please…
:''"I'm going to go stay with my relatives in <sc>[[Verdanturf Town]]</sc>. I thought I would be lonely by myself, so I wanted to take a <sc>Pokémon</sc> along. But I've never {{pkmn2|caught}} a <sc>Pokémon</sc> before. I don't know how…"''
:''"Oh, wow! A <sc>Pokémon</sc>!"''
:''"Oh, wow! Thank you!"''
:''"<player>… Would you really come with me?"''

;{{rt|102|Hoenn}}
:''"<player>… <sc>Pokémon</sc> hide in [[tall grass]] like this, don't they? Please watch me and see if I can catch one properly. …Whoa!"''
:''"You throw a <sc>[[Poké Ball|Ball]]</sc> now, right? I… I'll do my best!"''
:''"I did it… It's my… My <sc>Pokémon</sc>! <player>, thank you! Let's go back to the <sc>[[Gym]]</sc>!"''

;[[Petalburg Gym]] (after catching tutorial)
:''"Thank you, yes, it did. Here's your <sc>Pokémon</sc> back. <player>, thank you for coming along with me. You two are why I was able to catch my <sc>Pokémon</sc>. I promise I'll take really good care of it. Oh! My mom's waiting for me, so I have to go! Bye, <player>!

;[[Mauville City]]
* Before battle
:''"Aww, <sc>Uncle</sc>, please? I want to challenge this <sc>Gym</sc> and see how much better I've become. Please? May I, please?"''
:''"I'm not pushing it. If I combine forces with <sc>{{p|Ralts}}</sc>, we can beat anyone!"''
:''"Oh! Hi, <player>! I've gotten a lot stronger since we met. <Player>, I want you and my <sc>Uncle</sc> to understand that. <Player>, please, will you have a {{pkmn|battle}} with me?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"<player>, thank you. Okay… Here I come!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh… If you won't battle me, <player>, my <sc>Uncle</sc> won't know that I've become really strong."''

* Being defeated
:''"I lost…"''

* After being defeated
:''"<sc>Uncle</sc>… I'll go back to <sc>Verdanturf</sc>…"''
:''"<player>, thank you. Being a <sc>{{pkmn|Trainer}}</sc> is tough, isn't it? It's not enough just to have <sc>Pokémon</sc> and make them battle. That isn't what being a real <sc>Trainer</sc> is about."''

;Match Call{{sup/3|E}}
:''"Oh, hello, <player>! I just wanted to tell you that my uncle bought me a <sc>[[PokéNav]]</sc>! Now I can get in touch with you anytime, <player>!"''

;[[Wanda]]'s house ([[Verdanturf Town]])
:''"I lost to you, <player>, but I'm not feeling down anymore. Because I have a new purpose in life. Together with my <sc>Ralts</sc>, I'm going to challenge <sc>Pokémon Gyms</sc> and become a great <sc>Trainer</sc>. Please watch me, <player>. I'm going to be stronger than you. When I do, I'm going to challenge you to another battle."''
*If talked to once again
:''"Please watch me, <player>. I'm going to get stronger than you. When I do, I'm going to challenge you to another battle."''

;{{ho|Victory Road}}
* Before battle
:''"Hi! <player>! I bet you're surprised to see me here! I made it all the way here, and it's all thanks to you! <Player>, losing to you that time made me stronger! But I'm not going to lose anymore! I'm going to win! For the <sc>Pokémon</sc> who gave me courage and strength! Okay… Here I come! "''

* Being defeated
:''"Wow! <player>, you are strong, after all!"''

* After being defeated
:''"I couldn't beat you today, <player>, but one of these days, I'll catch up to you!"''

===={{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}====
;[[Petalburg Gym]]
*First time
:''"Um… E-excuse me… I…I'd like to get a Pokémon, please…"''
:''"Y-yes… I'm supposed to go stay with my relatives in Verdanturf Town for a while. But I thought I might be lonely by myself, so I wanted to bring a Pokémon with me. But I've never caught a Pokémon by myself… I'm not sure if I can."''
:''"Oh, wow… Your Pokémon, sir?"''
:''"Th-thank you, Mr. Norman! Um…<player>? You will… You will come with me, right?"''

*After catching tutorial
:''"Yes, it did! Thank you! Let me give you back your Pokémon, sir."''
:''"And you, <player>… Thank you so much for coming with me. It was all thanks to you two that I was able to catch Ralts. My very own Ralts… I will always, always treasure it! …Oh! I know! It's not much of a thank-you, but…um…<player>? Will you let me see your PokéNav Plus for a second?"''
:''"OK, that and…ummm…there!"''
:''"I read in a book how you can use the PlayNav to take care of your Pokémon and train them. And there's even supposed to be this thing called the PSS, where you can meet up with other Trainers and battle friends and more! I've wanted to have my own Pokémon for so long…and do all those kinda things together… So I've had all these kinds of apps installed on my PokéNav Plus for ages! Embarrassing, huh? I'm going to try my best together with Ralts. You do your best, too, <player>! Oh, but my mom's waiting for me. I've got to get going! I hope we'll meet again, <player>! And you, too, Mr. Norman!"''

;{{rt|102|Hoenn}}
:''"<player>… Pokémon hide in tall grass like this, don't they?"''
:''"P-please stay there to watch and see if I can catch one properly."''
:'''"Wh-whoa!"'''

*During catching tutorial
:''"I'm su-supposed to try to weaken the Pokémon before I throw my Poké Ball, right? I read that in a book recently."''

*After catching tutorial
:''"I did it… It's my… My own Pokémon! Thanks so much, <player>! Let's head back to the Gym!"''

;Mauville City
*First time entering the city
:''"Wow! So this is Mauville City!"''
:''"No, thank you! I want to challenge the Gym right away!"''
:''"Let me see… I'm pretty sure the Gym is…"''
:''"Yup! Straight ahead this way! Just through the inner courtyard!"''

*Front of [[Mauville Gym]]
:''"Uncle, I'm begging you! I want to challenge this Gym to see how much stronger I've become! Please! You'll let me, won't you?"''
:''"I'm not pushing it! If it's me and my Ralts, we can beat anyone!"''
:''"Ah! <player>! Ralts and I have gotten a lot stronger since we first met. Growing together! I want to prove that to you and my uncle both, <player>."''
:''"Please…help me once more… And have a battle with me!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Thank you, <player>. OK. Here we go!"''
::''"We're going to win this, Ralts! We have to!"''
::'''No''': ''"But if you won’t battle against me, <player>… I don’t think my uncle will believe that I've really gotten stronger."''

:* After refusing and talking to again
::''"<player>, please! Battle with me!"''

*Being defeated
:''"Wow… You really are strong, <player>!"''

*After being defeated
:''"Uncle… I'll go back to Verdanturf…"''
:''"<player>, thank you… Being a Trainer is tough, isn't it? It's not enough just to battle with your Pokémon. I can't become a true Trainer like that… Not really…"''
:''"…"''
:''"…Yes, Uncle."''
:''"<player>…"''
:''"I… I'm definitely… I'm going to get stronger. Much, much stronger! I feel like I learned a lot from just one Pokémon battle with you… About my own limits…and Ralts's…"''
:''"So…um… That's why… <player>… If it's all right… Could I…"''
:''"Could I call you…my r-riv—"''
:''"Ah, never mind! S-sorry! It was nothing! Please forget about it!"''
:''"Guh…good-bye!"''

*Arriving after obtaining the Balance Badge
:''"Phew… It's actually pretty far, isn't it? All the way here to Mauville…"''
:''"So that must be {{rt|118|Hoenn}} ahead… I wonder what kind of Pokémon I'll meet there. I can't wait to find out!"''
:''"I'll see you later, <player>! I'm going straight to Route 118! Let's definitely have a battle next time we meet! It's a promise, OK? And you can't break a promise!"''

;[[Petalburg City]]
*First time
:''"Ah! <player>! Mr. [[Norman]]!"''
:''"I haven't seen thw two of you in some time. What a coincidence! I just came back to my parents' house to grab something I'd forgotten."''
:''"R-really? You really think so? Hehe… Thank you! That's so nice of you to say!"''
:''"Yes, sir! I will do my best to become as strong as <player>, sir!"''
:''"I guess I had better start out, then. I'm off for now, Dad! See you next time!"''
:''"Um. Come on, <player>! Let's go together!"''
:''"OK! We're off!"''
:''"Mr. Norman told us to keep going beyond {{color2|00aeef|Hoenn Route 118|Route 118}}. didn't he… Let me check my {{DL|PokéNav Plus|AreaNav}}…"''
:''"{{color2|00aeef|Hoenn Route 118|Route 118}} is the one east of [[Mauville City]], huh? <player>! Since we're both here anyway, let's go to Mauville together! I'm definitely planning on going to check out Route 118 like your dad said!"''

;{{ho|Victory Road}}
* Before battle
:''"Ah! <player>! I bet you must be surprised to see me in a place like this! That promise that we made back then… Thank you for keeping your end of it. It was really all thanks to you that I could make it this far, <player>. It was only because I lost to you back then that I could become even stronger. I'm sure that you and your Pokémon must have had to overcome a lot, too… To make it all the way here. Right, <player>? Everyone's grown so much… And now we'll get to see just what we all can do. Standing here facing you again gives me chills… …But I won't give up! I won't lose anymore. My Pokémon have given me the courage and strength to fight. I have to win for their sake! So get ready… Here I come!"''

* Being defeated
:''"… I've lost…"''

* After being defeated
:''"… … Arghhh!!! … … …Hah. <player>, you… And your Pokémon, too… Thank you for not holding back when you battled against us… For not holding back when you beat us… And… Gallade… Everyone…. Thank you so much… I feel like I've been able to take another step forward thanks to you! Oh! I know! I'll give you this to keep. I hope it will always remind you of your battle with me… and with Gallade and the rest of my team. If you have a male Kirlia as one of your partners, <player>, I hope that you might use that Dawn Stone on it for me. I couldn't beat you this time, <player>. But I'll stay here and continue training. And one day… Look out! I swear I'll catch up to you one day! When I do, promise we'll battle again! That's a promise I intend to live up to!"''

;[[Battle Resort]]
* Upon entering the Battle Resort for the first time
:''"Ah! <player>! So you came, too! Mr. Norman actually gave me a ticket as well. I just got here a little while ago. So this is the Battle Resort… A tropical paradise that only the lucky few get to visit…"''
:''"I'm getting pumped just standing here! Let's check it out!"''
:''"I'm s-sorry, ma'am, sir…Running into you like that…"''

* After encountering Team Aqua/Magma
:''"Wow… Incredible…"''
:''"Challenge?"''
:''"Oh, is that right? But where can we battle?"''
:''"No, I don't…"''
:''"Thank you very much. We will be sure to do that!"''
:''"The [[Battle Maison]]…"''
:''"I'm curious about what kind of place it is, but I think I'll take a look around the island first. I've never been so far from home before, and I've never visited anything like a resort! So I'll be off exploring, <player>… But I'll see you later! I hope we can battle again, here in this resort!"''

;[[Battle Maison]]
* When selected for the [[Multi Battle]] challenge
:''"I hope you can bear with me, <player!> I'm going to take this chance to study how a Champion fights from right up close!"''

* After ending the Multi Battle challenge
:''"O-oh… That's too bad… I hope you'll ask me again someday…"''

* After 20 consecutive wins at the Multi Battle challenge
:''"Thank you so much, <player>! Me and my Pokémon both gained a lot from being able to fight beside you!"''

* After losing the Multi Battle challenge
:''"I'm s-sorry… I guess me and my team just got in your way…"''

* After the monument is built
:''"This monument was built to commemorate you, wasn't it? That's amazing! You really are Hoenn's top Trainer, <player>."''
:''"Umm… You are…?"''
:''"That many?!"''
:''"I see…"''
:''"So there are still other Trainers who are that passionate about Pokémon battles… Wow! I feel like trying harder seeing that. I'm sure I can still become stronger! I'll see you later then, <player>! I'm going off to train some more!"''

* Before battle (first time)
:''"<player>! How are you doing? I've been training nonstop—so I was taking a short rest. Since I managed to run into you, <player>, it seems like this will be a perfect chance to see how much I've improved!"''

* Being defeated (first time)
:''"Ugh. So this is my limit."''

* If talked to after being defeated
:''"I knew my team makeup was still off. Then…I guess I need to take this guy out. No, if I do that, I'll be wide open for… Hmm… Then if I replace this move here… Yeah… Yeah, that should do it! Oh! Excuse me! I couldn't help myself! But you're just as brilliant in battle as ever, <player>! Still, don't you count on me just losing to you forever. I've met a lot of people who have helped me grow since coming to the Battle Resort, and it has reminded me all over again how much fun it is to really go all out in battle! Thanks again, <player>! Let's battle again sometime!"''

* Before battle (rematch)
:''"<Player>! Please see how much my training has accomplished! This time my team is the best it can be!"''

* Being defeated (rematch)
:''"Gaaahhh!"''

* If giving the player an [[Ability Capsule]]
:''"Hah…hah… Here, <player>… Take this, hah, with my thanks."''

* If talked to after being defeated (rematch)
:''"Hah…hah… Maybe I need to start again from scratch. But you performed as well as I'd expect, <player>! You even beat the best team I could put together! And, well, Pokémon battling really is great, isn't it? When I get to spend every day training and battling like this, I really can't help thinking, so… I enjoy every day so much that I really think I finally found where I belong. I…I'm going to keep getting stronger! So please battle with me again!"''

=====[[Delta Episode]]=====
;Petalburg City
:''"I'm telling you I don't have it!"''
:''"Argh! Are you listening? I've been telling you— Ah! <player>!"''

* After defeating {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}}
:''"Thank you so much, <player>... That strange woman{{sup/6|OR}}/man{{sup/6|AS}} suddenly attacked me, demanding that I hand over my Key Stone... The truth is that I couldn't give it to her{{sup/6|OR}}/him{{sup/6|AS}} even if I wanted to. My Key Stone is gone… I left it in the house when I went out, and it just disappeared.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Wally {{pkmn|battle|challenges}} the player near the exit of {{ho|Victory Road}}, whereas in {{v2|Emerald}}, he is met after crossing the first bridge. Despite this, the [[rematch]]es with him occur near the end of Victory Road, regardless of the game.
* In the Generation III games, it is possible for the capture tutorial to end with Ralts [[fainting]]. This can only happen if Zigzagoon is generated with 11 Attack, and 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 {{m|Tackle}}, and after {{m|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. The probability of this occurring is (182/800)*(4/25)*(4/32)*(6/32)*(5/16)*(7/16), or about 1 in 8574.
** In the Generation III games, it is also possible for Wally to catch a {{Shiny}} Ralts in the tutorial. However, it will not stay Shiny in subsequent battles.
{{YouTubeVid|xERTYBk3Txk|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Emerald}}
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after the player defeats [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]], Wally is listed as a certified Trainer at all [[Hoenn]] Pokémon [[Gym]]s.
** As the player visits [[Lavaridge Town]] after these events, all Gyms from that point onward (including the [[Petalburg Gym]]) list Wally's name first, while Wally's name appears after the player's name at the first three Gyms.
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when Wally is battled on Victory Road, he gets his own battle theme, unlike in the original games. This later becomes his encounter theme when he is rematched at the [[Battle Resort]].
* Wally shares his Italian name with [[Grant]]: they both go by the name of Lino.
* Prior to {{game3|Sun and Moon|Sun and Moon|s}}, Wally shared his Chinese name with {{ga|Dawn}}.

'''Wally''' (Japanese: '''ミツル''' ''Mitsuru'') is one of the two [[rival]] characters in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], the other being {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}. He is the first rival not to be the {{player}}'s first {{pkmn|battle}}, and the first rival not to have a [[starter Pokémon]]. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Wally in his later battles possesses a {{p|Gallade}} that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] with his handmade wooden Mega Pendant which holds his [[Key Stone]]. The Mega Pendant is shaped like a Gallade's head.

Wally is a young, sickly boy who just moved to [[Petalburg City]]. Despite his illness, his dream is to train {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In his room, in Petalburg City, there are a lot of books about how to raise and battle with Pokémon covered in sticky notes, a notebook which has been written and erased again and again and a terrestrial globe with pins in places in the [[Kalos]] and [[Unova]] regions, suggesting that he has been dying to go outside and catch Pokémon for a long time.

His illness is never explained, but his symptoms appear to clear up in clean air, suggesting that it is either {{wp|acute bronchitis}} or {{wp|asthma}}.

==In the games==
===Role===
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, and Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], Wally is a sickly young boy who first appears in [[Petalburg City]], asking [[Norman]], the [[Petalburg Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]], to help him catch a Pokémon before he moves to [[Verdanturf Town]] to live with his aunt and uncle. Norman asks his child, the {{player}}, to assist Wally and loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. Using this Pokémon, Wally is able to capture a {{p|Ralts}}. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after catching his Ralts, Wally will give the player a new app for their [[PokéNav]] as thanks, the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}}.

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 become stronger.

Wally eventually runs away from home and challenges the player at {{ho|Victory Road}}, seemingly recovered from his illness. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he remains at Victory Road and can be [[rematch]]ed after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].

In the [[remake]]s of Ruby and Sapphire, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Wally's Ralts eventually evolves into a {{p|Gallade}} instead of a {{p|Gardevoir}}. At some point in the game, Wally also obtains a [[Key Stone]] and {{DL|Key Stone|Appearance|Mega Pendant}}, allowing his Gallade to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. He is also revealed to have obtained all eight badges before the player meets Wally at Victory Road as he becomes a Certified Trainer at every Gym. The player can follow Wally's progress on the Hoenn News Network and see his name on the Gym statues starting from the time [[Mt. Chimney]] is explored.

In the [[Delta Episode]], Wally is being harassed by Courtney{{sup/6|AS}}/Matt{{sup/6|OR}} who attempts to steal his [[Key Stone]]. Wally thanks the player when the player defeats Courtney/Matt, but reveals that his Key Stone had already disappeared before the Admin had arrived. At the end of the Delta Episode, Wally leaves his home again, with his Key Stone having been returned by the player.

Later on, Wally arrives at the [[Battle Resort]] with an S. S. Ticket from Norman and grows stronger through his time at the Battle Resort. Wally re-battles the player at the [[Battle Maison]] but can only be battled again once the player has beaten one of the {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s in a Super Battle. Wally can also be selected as a partner for the [[Multi Battle]] challenge at the Battle Maison. Through his time at the Battle Maison, Wally is revealed to have met a lot of people who have helped him grow as a Trainer. He is revealed to be a strategic, enthusiastic Trainer who studies various move combinations and the allocation of base stats, who is willing to change his team make-up and Pokémon's moves to become stronger.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Wally appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent the player can battle and subsequently recruit.

:''"I'm not pushing it. If I combine forces with <sc>{{p|Ralts}}</sc>, we can beat anyone!"''

* After being defeated
:''"I couldn't beat you today, <player>, but one of these days, I'll catch up to you!"''

===={{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}====
;[[Petalburg Gym]]
*First time
:''"Um… E-excuse me… I…I'd like to get a Pokémon, please…"''
:''"Y-yes… I'm supposed to go stay with my relatives in Verdanturf Town for a while. But I thought I might be lonely by myself, so I wanted to bring a Pokémon with me. But I've never caught a Pokémon by myself… I'm not sure if I can."''
:''"Oh, wow… Your Pokémon, sir?"''
:''"Th-thank you, Mr. Norman! Um…<player>? You will… You will come with me, right?"''

*After catching tutorial
:''"Yes, it did! Thank you! Let me give you back your Pokémon, sir."''
:''"And you, <player>… Thank you so much for coming with me. It was all thanks to you two that I was able to catch Ralts. My very own Ralts… I will always, always treasure it! …Oh! I know! It's not much of a thank-you, but…um…<player>? Will you let me see your PokéNav Plus for a second?"''
:''"OK, that and…ummm…there!"''
:''"I read in a book how you can use the PlayNav to take care of your Pokémon and train them. And there's even supposed to be this thing called the PSS, where you can meet up with other Trainers and battle friends and more! I've wanted to have my own Pokémon for so long…and do all those kinda things together… So I've had all these kinds of apps installed on my PokéNav Plus for ages! Embarrassing, huh? I'm going to try my best together with Ralts. You do your best, too, <player>! Oh, but my mom's waiting for me. I've got to get going! I hope we'll meet again, <player>! And you, too, Mr. Norman!"''

;{{rt|102|Hoenn}}
:''"<player>… Pokémon hide in tall grass like this, don't they?"''
:''"P-please stay there to watch and see if I can catch one properly."''
:'''"Wh-whoa!"'''

*During catching tutorial
:''"I'm su-supposed to try to weaken the Pokémon before I throw my Poké Ball, right? I read that in a book recently."''

*After catching tutorial
:''"I did it… It's my… My own Pokémon! Thanks so much, <player>! Let's head back to the Gym!"''

;Mauville City
*First time entering the city
:''"Wow! So this is Mauville City!"''
:''"No, thank you! I want to challenge the Gym right away!"''
:''"Let me see… I'm pretty sure the Gym is…"''
:''"Yup! Straight ahead this way! Just through the inner courtyard!"''

*Front of [[Mauville Gym]]
:''"Uncle, I'm begging you! I want to challenge this Gym to see how much stronger I've become! Please! You'll let me, won't you?"''
:''"I'm not pushing it! If it's me and my Ralts, we can beat anyone!"''
:''"Ah! <player>! Ralts and I have gotten a lot stronger since we first met. Growing together! I want to prove that to you and my uncle both, <player>."''
:''"Please…help me once more… And have a battle with me!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Thank you, <player>. OK. Here we go!"''
::''"We're going to win this, Ralts! We have to!"''
::'''No''': ''"But if you won’t battle against me, <player>… I don’t think my uncle will believe that I've really gotten stronger."''

:* After refusing and talking to again
::''"<player>, please! Battle with me!"''

*Being defeated
:''"Wow… You really are strong, <player>!"''

*After being defeated
:''"Uncle… I'll go back to Verdanturf…"''
:''"<player>, thank you… Being a Trainer is tough, isn't it? It's not enough just to battle with your Pokémon. I can't become a true Trainer like that… Not really…"''
:''"…"''
:''"…Yes, Uncle."''
:''"<player>…"''
:''"I… I'm definitely… I'm going to get stronger. Much, much stronger! I feel like I learned a lot from just one Pokémon battle with you… About my own limits…and Ralts's…"''
:''"So…um… That's why… <player>… If it's all right… Could I…"''
:''"Could I call you…my r-riv—"''
:''"Ah, never mind! S-sorry! It was nothing! Please forget about it!"''
:''"Guh…good-bye!"''

*Arriving after obtaining the Balance Badge
:''"Phew… It's actually pretty far, isn't it? All the way here to Mauville…"''
:''"So that must be {{rt|118|Hoenn}} ahead… I wonder what kind of Pokémon I'll meet there. I can't wait to find out!"''
:''"I'll see you later, <player>! I'm going straight to Route 118! Let's definitely have a battle next time we meet! It's a promise, OK? And you can't break a promise!"''

;[[Petalburg City]]
*First time
:''"Ah! <player>! Mr. [[Norman]]!"''
:''"I haven't seen thw two of you in some time. What a coincidence! I just came back to my parents' house to grab something I'd forgotten."''
:''"R-really? You really think so? Hehe… Thank you! That's so nice of you to say!"''
:''"Yes, sir! I will do my best to become as strong as <player>, sir!"''
:''"I guess I had better start out, then. I'm off for now, Dad! See you next time!"''
:''"Um. Come on, <player>! Let's go together!"''
:''"OK! We're off!"''
:''"Mr. Norman told us to keep going beyond {{color2|00aeef|Hoenn Route 118|Route 118}}. didn't he… Let me check my {{DL|PokéNav Plus|AreaNav}}…"''
:''"{{color2|00aeef|Hoenn Route 118|Route 118}} is the one east of [[Mauville City]], huh? <player>! Since we're both here anyway, let's go to Mauville together! I'm definitely planning on going to check out Route 118 like your dad said!"''

;{{ho|Victory Road}}
* Before battle
:''"Ah! <player>! I bet you must be surprised to see me in a place like this! That promise that we made back then… Thank you for keeping your end of it. It was really all thanks to you that I could make it this far, <player>. It was only because I lost to you back then that I could become even stronger. I'm sure that you and your Pokémon must have had to overcome a lot, too… To make it all the way here. Right, <player>? Everyone's grown so much… And now we'll get to see just what we all can do. Standing here facing you again gives me chills… …But I won't give up! I won't lose anymore. My Pokémon have given me the courage and strength to fight. I have to win for their sake! So get ready… Here I come!"''

* Being defeated
:''"… I've lost…"''

* After being defeated
:''"… … Arghhh!!! … … …Hah. <player>, you… And your Pokémon, too… Thank you for not holding back when you battled against us… For not holding back when you beat us… And… Gallade… Everyone…. Thank you so much… I feel like I've been able to take another step forward thanks to you! Oh! I know! I'll give you this to keep. I hope it will always remind you of your battle with me… and with Gallade and the rest of my team. If you have a male Kirlia as one of your partners, <player>, I hope that you might use that Dawn Stone on it for me. I couldn't beat you this time, <player>. But I'll stay here and continue training. And one day… Look out! I swear I'll catch up to you one day! When I do, promise we'll battle again! That's a promise I intend to live up to!"''

;[[Battle Resort]]
* Upon entering the Battle Resort for the first time
:''"Ah! <player>! So you came, too! Mr. Norman actually gave me a ticket as well. I just got here a little while ago. So this is the Battle Resort… A tropical paradise that only the lucky few get to visit…"''
:''"I'm getting pumped just standing here! Let's check it out!"''
:''"I'm s-sorry, ma'am, sir…Running into you like that…"''

* After encountering Team Aqua/Magma
:''"Wow… Incredible…"''
:''"Challenge?"''
:''"Oh, is that right? But where can we battle?"''
:''"No, I don't…"''
:''"Thank you very much. We will be sure to do that!"''
:''"The [[Battle Maison]]…"''
:''"I'm curious about what kind of place it is, but I think I'll take a look around the island first. I've never been so far from home before, and I've never visited anything like a resort! So I'll be off exploring, <player>… But I'll see you later! I hope we can battle again, here in this resort!"''

;[[Battle Maison]]
* When selected for the [[Multi Battle]] challenge
:''"I hope you can bear with me, <player!> I'm going to take this chance to study how a Champion fights from right up close!"''

* After ending the Multi Battle challenge
:''"O-oh… That's too bad… I hope you'll ask me again someday…"''

* After 20 consecutive wins at the Multi Battle challenge
:''"Thank you so much, <player>! Me and my Pokémon both gained a lot from being able to fight beside you!"''

* After losing the Multi Battle challenge
:''"I'm s-sorry… I guess me and my team just got in your way…"''

* After the monument is built
:''"This monument was built to commemorate you, wasn't it? That's amazing! You really are Hoenn's top Trainer, <player>."''
:''"Umm… You are…?"''
:''"That many?!"''
:''"I see…"''
:''"So there are still other Trainers who are that passionate about Pokémon battles… Wow! I feel like trying harder seeing that. I'm sure I can still become stronger! I'll see you later then, <player>! I'm going off to train some more!"''

* Before battle (first time)
:''"<player>! How are you doing? I've been training nonstop—so I was taking a short rest. Since I managed to run into you, <player>, it seems like this will be a perfect chance to see how much I've improved!"''

* Being defeated (first time)
:''"Ugh. So this is my limit."''

* If talked to after being defeated
:''"I knew my team makeup was still off. Then…I guess I need to take this guy out. No, if I do that, I'll be wide open for… Hmm… Then if I replace this move here… Yeah… Yeah, that should do it! Oh! Excuse me! I couldn't help myself! But you're just as brilliant in battle as ever, <player>! Still, don't you count on me just losing to you forever. I've met a lot of people who have helped me grow since coming to the Battle Resort, and it has reminded me all over again how much fun it is to really go all out in battle! Thanks again, <player>! Let's battle again sometime!"''

* Before battle (rematch)
:''"<Player>! Please see how much my training has accomplished! This time my team is the best it can be!"''

* Being defeated (rematch)
:''"Gaaahhh!"''

* If giving the player an [[Ability Capsule]]
:''"Hah…hah… Here, <player>… Take this, hah, with my thanks."''

* If talked to after being defeated (rematch)
:''"Hah…hah… Maybe I need to start again from scratch. But you performed as well as I'd expect, <player>! You even beat the best team I could put together! And, well, Pokémon battling really is great, isn't it? When I get to spend every day training and battling like this, I really can't help thinking, so… I enjoy every day so much that I really think I finally found where I belong. I…I'm going to keep getting stronger! So please battle with me again!"''

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Wally {{pkmn|battle|challenges}} the player near the exit of {{ho|Victory Road}}, whereas in {{v2|Emerald}}, he is met after crossing the first bridge. Despite this, the [[rematch]]es with him occur near the end of Victory Road, regardless of the game.
* In the Generation III games, it is possible for the capture tutorial to end with Ralts [[fainting]]. This can only happen if Zigzagoon is generated with 11 Attack, and 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 {{m|Tackle}}, and after {{m|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. The probability of this occurring is (182/800)*(4/25)*(4/32)*(6/32)*(5/16)*(7/16), or about 1 in 8574.
** In the Generation III games, it is also possible for Wally to catch a {{Shiny}} Ralts in the tutorial. However, it will not stay Shiny in subsequent battles.
{{YouTubeVid|xERTYBk3Txk|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Emerald}}
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after the player defeats [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]], Wally is listed as a certified Trainer at all [[Hoenn]] Pokémon [[Gym]]s.
** As the player visits [[Lavaridge Town]] after these events, all Gyms from that point onward (including the [[Petalburg Gym]]) list Wally's name first, while Wally's name appears after the player's name at the first three Gyms.
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when Wally is battled on Victory Road, he gets his own battle theme, unlike in the original games. This later becomes his encounter theme when he is rematched at the [[Battle Resort]].
* Wally shares his Italian name with [[Grant]]: they both go by the name of Lino.
* Prior to {{game3|Sun and Moon|Sun and Moon|s}}, Wally shared his Chinese name with {{ga|Dawn}}.
* In Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Wally's Ralts is caught with a Pokeball, but in Sun and Moon his Gallade is in an Ultra Ball.

Sun & Moon: /* Not part of the Unova Elite Four */

==Gender change==
Strangely, in the rematch, Giima's Zuruzukin's gender changes. In fact, with the exception of his Sharpedo, all of his Pokémon are female.
I did see a lot of video clips to confirm this before editing the page, but if I made a mistake, please inform me! [[User:Rhm2768|Rhm2768]] 08:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Could it be a reference to Dracula living with many wives, playing into the vampire motif? --[[User:Whitewater257|Whitewater257]] 02:14, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

==Another Trivia==
would it be nice to put in the trivia that giima is the only elite four not to appear outside the league shikimi and caitlin both visit cynthia and renbu appears on the victory road before cheren's rematch.[[User:Badwolf1234|Badwolf1234]] 04:20, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

==I messed up the page==
Argh, I'm sorry! I totally messed up the page. :< I hope it's okay if I go ahead and fix this. I guess I'm not quite used to editing articles QUITE yet...kinda ended up C+P'ing the rest of the page onto one section. T_T
Edit: Okay, so I fixed it. Sorry for any inconveniences; I'll make sure to be more careful next time. D8

== Changed his hair color ==

Yeah, I don't see how it's blue at all. Bulbapedia considers Sabrina's hair as black, even though it's a lighter shade than Grimsley's. {{unsigned|PowerfulStarmie}}

== Not part of the Unova Elite Four ==

An NPC says that Grismley used to be a famous trainer in the Unova Region. USED to be. Does that mean he's no longer part of the Unova Elite Four? {{unsigned|Sun & Moon}}
:Shouldn't all E4 members always be present in their E4's regions? I mean, they must test challengers and all. Grimsley not being in Unova means he doesn't have to be there, therefore he isn't part of Unova E4 anymore. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 12:40, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
::Gym leaders must always be present too. And they've been seen in other regions. (Jasmine in Sinnoh for example). Saying that he used to be famous isn't saying that he used to be a member of the Elite Four. For all we know, and until otherwise stated, he's a member of the Elite Four. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 15:12, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Gym Leaders don't always have to be present. Burgh isn't when you are in Nacrene City, Fantina isn't in Diamond and Pearl and you have to skip her gym. There was no Elite Four Tournament in BW2 but there was a Gym Leader tournament. So, I believe that Grismley is no longer part of the Elite Four. {{Unsigned|Sun & Moon}}
:And where in the games does it specifically say that "Elite Four have to be present at all times"? They also aren't present at all times in previous games. Marshal in Black and White 2 is met outside Twist Mountain. Malva in X and Y is a TV news reporter. Definitely no film studio in her room in the Elite Four. Champions have also gone traveling around a lot too. The argument is flimsy and has nothing to back it up. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 22:28, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

true, true. Yeah you're right. I'm glad that we were able to figure it out :)

===Quotes===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
;Initial battle
* Before battle
:''"Man oh man... What is going on today? Challengers coming one right after another. Well, no matter. I am Grimsley of the [[Elite Four]], and I will fulfill my duty to be your opponent."''

* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)
:''"I never thought you would use that [[move]]... Not a bad choice at all."''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Good, good... But I will never retreat from any battle."''

* During battle (less than half HP)
:''"Even in this situation, there must be a way to triumph!"''

* When defeated
:''"If somebody wins a battle, then, without doubt, someone else has lost the battle. That's the way of battle. A real warrior doesn't dash off in pursuit of the next victory, nor throw a fit when experiencing a loss. A real warrior ponders the next battle."''

* After being defeated
:''"Whether or not you get to fight at full strength, whether or not luck smiles on you--none of that matters. Only results matter. And a loss is a loss. See, victory shines like a bright light. And right now, you and your Pokémon are shining brilliantly."''

* General afterword
:''"Now, I'm nothing more than the guy who lost... Nothing more, nothing less. Sigh... You should take that strength and test it against the rest of the Elite Four."''

* If defeated last
:''"Astonishing! You have defeated every member of the [[Unova League|Pokémon League]]'s Elite Four. But it isn't over yet. There is one more opponent against whom you must prove your strength. The pinnacle of the Pokémon League, the {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Alder]]... Or, perhaps, that man called [[N]] has defeated him and taken his title. I don't know which one you will face, but check the statue in the central plaza, and continue to the final room."''

;Rematch
* Before battle
:''"Life is a serious battle, and you have to use the tools you're given. It's more important to master the cards you're holding than to complain about the ones your opponents were dealt. Let us begin. And may the best Trainer win! Contests like this are proof that you are really living..."''

* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)
:''"You use the move here... It's good. It's fascinating."''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Well... I've never withdrawn from any battles."''

* During battle (less than half HP)
:''"Even in this situation, there must be a way...to win."''

* When defeated
:''"If somebody wins, the person who fought against that person will lose. That's battle. A good contender just seeks the next victory without bragging after winning, and without getting upset after losing."''

* After being defeated
:''"There are bad ways to win-- and good ways to lose. What's interesting and troubling is that it's not always clear which is which. A flipped coin doesn't always land heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all..."''

* General afterword
:''"Excellent! The nice thing about Pokémon battles is they teach the loser something, as well. That said... You should take that strength and test it against the rest of the Elite Four!"''

* If defeated last
:''"Astonishing! You have defeated every member of the Pokémon League's Elite Four. But it isn't over yet. There is one more opponent against whom you must prove your strength. Check the statue in the central plaza, and continue to the final room."''

===={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}====
;Initial battle
* Before battle
:''"What will be determined here is which of us can absorb the opponent's light and shine... But who will decide that? It shall be I, Grimsley of the Elite Four, and I will fulfill my duty to be your opponent."''

* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss or switch)
:''"Now why would you use that move? If I can figure that out, I may be able to win!"''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"A beautiful loss is still a loss, and an ugly win is still a win!"''

* During battle (less than half HP)
:''"Even in a tough situation like this, there must be a way to triumph!"''

* When defeated
:''"Where there's a winner, there's also a loser. It's pathetic to make a big deal out of losing if you weren't prepared. If you're a true Pokémon battler, you'll reflect upon your loss and think about how to win next time!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Whether or not you get to fight at full strength, whether or not luck smiles on you--none of that matters. Only results matter. And a loss is a loss. See, victory shines like a bright light. And right now, you and your Pokémon are shining brilliantly."''

* General afterword
:''"Now, I'm nothing more than the one who lost his light... But this loss will make me shine even brighter next time... If I think that way, it's not too bad. Sigh... You should take that strength and test it against the rest of the Elite Four."''

* If defeated last
:''"Astonishing! You have defeated every member of the Pokémon League's Elite Four. But it isn't over yet. There is one more opponent against whom you must prove your strength. Check the statue in the central plaza, and continue to the final room."''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Those who give up on themselves can never claim victory!"''

* During battle (less than half HP)
:''"There's got to be a way to win... Even in the most extreme of conditions!"''

* When defeated
:''"Which Pokémon should I raise? Which moves should I teach my Pokémon? What items should I give my Pokémon? You need to think everything through very thoroughly if you want to win! In that sense, you're a very impressive battler!"''

* After being defeated
:''"There are bad ways to win-- and good ways to lose. What's interesting and troubling is that it's not always clear which is which. A flipped coin doesn't always land heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all..."''

* General afterword
:''"There's nothing left for the loser. I guess that's not true... Everything has a meaning. I just have to use the disappointment as a motivation to get strong. That said... You should take that strength and test it against the rest of the Elite Four!"''

:''"Man oh man... What is going on today? Someone actually bothered coming to this kind of sad place?"''
:''"Well, no matter. I'll take you on. Keep you company. Tell me. Uncle Grimsley is going to flip a coin. Will it be heads or tails?"''
::'''Heads''' or '''Tails''': ''"...Astonishing. You just took a stab, like some kind of prophet. Right now, you and your Pokémon are shining brilliantly."''
::'''Neither''': ''"...Astonishing. I had indeed been planning to have {{p|Skarmory}} snatch it out of the air as it spun in the sky."''
:''"A loss is a loss. I'll give you {{p|Sharpedo}}'s info for your [[Poké Ride|Ride Pager]] then. Ride it to victory."''
:''"Maybe you don't need to hear this from me, but I'm going to tell you anyway. If you press Ⓑ while riding on Sharpedo there, it'll {{color|F00|jet}} forward and smash through rocks like those ones there."''
:''"And here's a bit more unwanted advice. [[Po Town]] lies at the other end of {{rt|16|Alola}} here. But it's thoroughly occupied by [[Team Skull]]. You shouldn't go there unless you want trouble."''
:''"If somebody wins a battle, then without doubt, someone else has lost the battle. That's the way of battle. I hope I might battle you someday."''

==In the manga==
===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Grimsley Adventures.png|thumb|200px||right|Grimsley in Pokémon Adventures]]
Grimsley first appears on {{rt|4|Unova}} in disguise, where he plays a game of [[Card flip]] with the {{tc|Worker}}s there in order to give them something to do on their breaks. He quickly gets acquainted with {{adv|Black}} and challenges him to a game that involves guessing where the local {{p|Drilbur}} will pop up. When a Worker falls into a hole created by the Drilbur, Grimsley reveals that the person is an impostor in disguise, as Grimsley had told the Workers not to go on the side they were playing the game on. Grimsley battles the man and easily manages to win. He then removes the impostor's disguise, revealing the person to be a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}. Grimsley reveals to Black who he truly is and decides to have a battle with him, with the conditions that whoever loses has to give up something precious. Before Black can answer, he faints from mental stress at the thought of losing his Gym Badges and not being able to qualify for the League. Amused, Grimsley decides takes his leave, but he also binds up the Plasma Grunt and leaves a card instructing who reads it to punish the Grunt.

When the Pokémon League begins, he and [[Shauntal]] travel via Shauntal's {{p|Golurk}} to meet up with their fellow Elite Four members. When discussing what to do with Team Plasma, Grimsley declares that unless they attack first, he won't defend, because it's not his style. The four then watch as spectators for the tournament before their battles can begin. Although the tournament is won by {{adv|Black}}, the event is interrupted by Team Plasma, who attacks the stadium by surrounding it with [[N's Castle]]. The Elite Four travel on Shauntal's Golurk to try and confront [[N]] at the top of the castle, but they are attacked by [[Colress|Hood Man]], who uses {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} against them to try and figure out how to activate the three Pokémon's Therian Formes. Grimsley leaves the others to take care of three Legendary Pokémon while he goes to face Hood Man himself. The two battle each other for an extended period of time, but Hood Man eventually manages to escape using a {{p|Genesect|Pokémon}} Grimsley couldn't see properly.

|desc={{p|Bisharp}} is Grimsley's only known Pokémon. It first appeared with its Trainer on {{rt|4|Unova}} where it helped Grimsley play card flip with the workers there. Later, it battled a disguised Team Plasma Grunt's {{p|Maractus}} and defeated it. During Team Plasma's attack on the League, Bisharp was used to battle [[Hood Man]]. It easily deflected Hood Man's {{p|Klinklang}}'s attacks, but couldn't keep up when Hood Man used {{p|Genesect|another Pokémon}} to escape at high speeds.

Bisharp's only known move is {{m|Fury Cutter}}, and its Ability is {{a|Defiant}}.}}

According to Black's notebook, he also has a {{p|Krookodile}}.

==Trivia==
* According to an interview with [[Yusuke Ohmura]] in ''{{wp|Nintendo Dream}}'', Grimsley's design is themed on both {{wp|vampire}}s (specifically {{wp|Dracula}} himself) and gambling. While his clothes are meant to look refined, the blue-black shade and red of them are a reference to the colors of the {{wp|roulette}}.<ref>[http://blog.livedoor.jp/shellspider/archives/696210.html#more ShellSpider's blog entry]</ref>

'''Colress''' (Japanese: '''アクロマ''' ''Achroma'') is a Pokémon researcher and the new boss of [[Team Plasma]], appointed by [[Ghetsis]]. His goal is to discover the true way to draw out the strength of Pokémon.

==In the games==
===In Black 2 and White 2===
In Pokémon Black and White 2, Colress is first encountered in [[Castelia Sewers]]. He is met again at [[Castelia City]], where he tells the player that he disagrees with the old [[Team Plasma]]'s goals to liberate Pokémon from humans. The player re-encounters Colress on {{rt|4|Unova}}, where several {{p|Crustle}} block the path. Colress uses his machine to drive the Crustle away and challenges the player to a battle. Colress is once again seen as a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], matched against the player in the final round of the tournament. He is later encountered on {{rt|22|Unova}}. Like usual, he talks to the player mostly about Team Plasma.

Later on, during the battle against the new Team Plasma on the [[Plasma Frigate]] while at the [[Giant Chasm]], Colress is seen in a chamber, where he reveals that he joined Team Plasma to pursue and research the true strength of Pokémon. After he is defeated in battle, he allows access to [[Ghetsis]]'s chamber, wanting to see if the player can stop him.

After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Colress continues to dwell in the Plasma Frigate; however, he and the other Team Plasma members have decided to put an end to their ambitions. Colress remains in the chamber when he first met the player on the Plasma Frigate; there, he can then battle the player and will give the player a [[Master Ball]] once defeated. He will then move to the stern of the Frigate, where he will battle the player once per day.

====Pokémon Sun and Moon====

===In X and Y===
Colress was mentioned by a {{tc|Backpacker}} found on {{rt|10|Kalos}} references him by saying, "A few years back, this really strange dude named Colress told me that these big stones emit some kind of special energy."

===In Sun and Moon===
In [[Pokemon Sun and Moon]], Colress appears on {{rt|8|Alola}} and gives the player [[TM43]]. After becoming the first Alola {{pkmn|Champion}}, Colress will give the player the Genesect [[Drive]]s. He also participates as a Trainer in the [[Battle Tree]].

===={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}====
; Castelia Sewers
: ''"You there! That was an excellent demonstration of battling. The way you brought out the power of your Pokémon against an opponent like Team Plasma… Astounding. Simply astounding. Interesting as well. I see…"''

; Castelia City's Central Plaza
:''"Oh, it's you again! If it's not an inconvenience, may I have a look at your Pokémon?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"I appreciate your cooperation!"''
:: '''No''': ''"Are you sure? But this is for science."''
:''"Oh! How interesting! Your <Pokémon> seems to display more self-confidence than others of the same species. And you're a Trainer with merely three Badges… Fantastic! I'm not sure how you're doing it, but you're bringing out the power of your Pokémon!"''
:''"Oh, excuse me! I am a scientist. My name is Colress. The theme of my research is: "Bringing out the power of Pokémon." Bringing out the power of Pokémon! Is it possible to bring out their maximum power through the bond they share with their Trainers? Or is there some other, different method? I'd like to test my theory by battling with you. Do you find this acceptable?"'' (regardless of answer) ''"Either way, I'll be waiting on Route 4. It's just beyond here!"''

;Route 4
* Before battle
: ''"I've been waiting for you! What's the matter? Interested in what's behind me? These are not mere rocks, but the Pokémon known as Crustle. Observe. With this device I created to energize Pokémon, I'll…"''
: ''"Those Crustle… Were they just lying here, out of energy, with their boulders on their backs?"''
: ''"Team Plasma said we should recognize the potential in Pokémon and liberate them from humans. I disagree. Conversely, it should be humans who bring out the hidden potential in Pokémon!"''
: ''"Now that I think of it, I never asked your name. <Player>… I'll remember that name. Well then, I will test you to see if you're a Trainer who can bring out the hidden potential of Pokémon!"''

* Being defeated
: ''"Splendid! You are quite the Trainer!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"I see! Just like the Gym Leaders in each area or the Elite Four and Champion in the Pokémon League, you bring out the power in Pokémon by being kind to them! That's the kind of person you are. I'm extremely grateful for your help. This is a token of my gratitude."''
: ''"It's so frustrating! If only we could talk to Pokémon in order to bring out their power! But there's no way a person like that could ever exist! Well then, <player>, I hope to see you again sometime."''

;Pokémon World Tournament
* Before battle
: ''"As a researcher, it is the truth and the ideal way things should be that I seek. The latent power of Pokémon… What is the best way to bring it out? If possible, I want it to be the trust between Trainers and their Pokémon, just as it has always been. I look forward to you teaching me that this is indeed true!"''

* Being defeated
: ''"Well done! I learned much from this battle!"''

* If the player is defeated
: ''"Remember our battle on Route 4? Please bring out more of your Pokémon's strength, like you did then!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"Just as I expected! Your Pokémon must be happy to be by your side! You bring out the best in their power!"''

* After winning
: ''"What is this?! Why don't you bring out more power from your Pokémon?!"''

* Inside the building
: ''"By having battles with many Trainers, I can bring out Pokémon Abilities! Eventually, as I continue to battle, the truth of my theory will be evident to all!"''

* Outside the building
: ''"Stop. There's no reason for you to stick your necks into something so dangerous!"''
: ''"I don't understand. That's not courage, it's recklessness! Does he think anything is possible simply because he has Pokémon with him? No, no… That's not possible. All Trainers and Pokémon are bound to one another by [[Poké Ball]]s… Then maybe it is this bond that will allow Trainers to overcome the impossible if they trust their partner Pokémon."''

* When spoken to
: ''"Trust... It's too much of an unknown factor. But if believing in your Pokémon gives you the courage to stand up to Team Plasma... And the courage to help your friends... Then follow them south to the dock!"''

;Route 22
: ''"The one radiating such a tremendous presence before you is none other than {{p|Terrakion}}!"''
: ''"It's been a long time. Terrakion is one of the three Pokémon who protected Pokémon from the flames of a human conflict!"''
: ''"It seems likely that Terrakion has picked up the scent of danger that emanates from Team Plasma. It's probably seeking a Pokémon Trainer who has the strength to stand up to them."''
: ''"It's very interesting indeed that Terrakion appeared before you! That aside, do you plan to confront Team Plasma?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"I see. If that's the case, you must have the power to protect your own Pokémon! Being protected by Pokémon alone doesn't make you a Trainer! It's because Trainers are strong, because they care about their Pokémon, that these Pokémon can also be strong!"''
:: '''No''': ''"I see! That works as well. You and your Pokémon can proceed down your own path! What you should do is care about your Pokémon to bring out their power to its fullest potential!"''
: ''"Here! This is from me!"''
: ''"This is a prototype of my device that energizes Pokémon! It doesn't work on battling Pokémon, but you may find it useful for something! Well then, I wish you and your Pokémon a safe journey!"''
: ''"Now that I think about it! In the Seaside Cave on Route 21, I saw something that reminded me of when we met on Route 4."''

;Plasma Frigate
* Before battle
: ''"Welcome! I was asked by an acquaintance to help with his research. What I desire is to bring out the entirety in Pokémon potential! If I can accomplish that, I don't care what it takes!"'' (walks a few steps forward) ''"If it means the strength must be brought out by the interactions between Pokémon and Trainers, then so be it! If it means you have to use a merciless approach, like Team Plasma's, and force out all of the Pokémon's power, then so be it! And yes, if the entire world is destroyed as a result, then so be it..."'' (steps forward off the stairs) ''"That aside! The reason I have been traveling all over Unova and battling many Pokémon Trainers is because I was testing the viability of this approach to bringing out the full strength of Pokémon. In that respect, you've done an amazing job. Well now! Tell me if you have the answer I desire or not! If you're ready, come at me!"''

* When spoken to
: ''"It looks like you're ready, then! OK! Let us begin!"''

* First non-KO HP loss
: ''"Come on! More! Bring out your Pokémon's power!"''

* Sending out last Pokémon
: ''"I'm more psyched than I've ever been! I can still go on!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"So this is what it means to draw forth the power hidden in your Pokémon!"''
: ''"So strong! You're a very strong Trainer indeed! So let me ask you this! Are you thinking of reaching even higher heights by understanding each other as Pokémon and Trainer?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"I see... To me, that is an ideal answer. To think! That's what you actually believe! You bring out the power of your Pokémon with respect and love!"''
:: '''No''': ''"I see... Is that answer my truth? Even if that's your answer, don't give up! The reason you're so strong is that you treat your Pokémon with respect and love!"''
:(steps backward) ''"Excuse me for repeating myself, but if it will make Pokémon stronger, I don't care what it takes! If interacting with Pokémon can increase their powers only to a certain point, then their full strength must be brought out using a scientific approach. Even one without a conscience."'' (turns back to player) ''"But you have shown me the potential of your approach. To me, whether Team Plasma wins or whether you win will decide how the relationship between people and Pokémon should be! So where will this be settled? Step on the warp panel on the other side of the room where Kyurem is being held. Good luck in your battle!"''

;Plasma Frigate (post-game)
* Before battle (first rematch)
: ''"Could I say that you're curious for coming clear out here?" ''
: ''"I dissolved Team Plasma. The ones who are left here are deciding what they want to do. I would like to have them decide on their own! There are far more questions in this world that don't have any answers! Well then... Please show me you and your Pokémon's strength once again!" ''

* Upon first non-KO HP loss
: ''"Come! Satisfy my urge to battle!"''
* Sending out last Pokémon
: ''"Marvelous! I shall believe in my Pokémon!"''
* Last Pokémon at critical health
: ''"If-if I'd believed more, could I have drawn out my Pokémon's power?"''
* When defeated
: ''"The bonds between us... Does the fact that we can't see them make them even more real?"''
* After being defeated
: ''"In Pokémon battles where you can't afford to make a mistake, the true nature of the Trainer's personality becomes clear. I see! If Trainers believe in their Pokémon to the fullest extreme, as you do, their Pokémon partners will also give everything they have! So that must be the answer I've been looking for. Still, I'm glad you won. For one thing, I detested Ghetsis from the start!"''
: ''"Take this with you! This Master Ball can catch any kind of Pokémon! Ghetsis was saving it, but you'll probably put it to better use! "''
: ''"If you'd like, please have a Pokémon battle with me again! Indeed, I'm having trouble deciding what to do next as well."''

* Before battle (second rematch onwards)
: ''"{{tt|Even the same Pokémon can exhibit different strengths depending on the Trainer! It's so interesting! Very, very interesting!|First time only}} Well now! Give me but a moment of your time!" ''
:: '''No''': ''"And I went to all the trouble to come here, too... You're an unkind person."''
:: '''Yes''': ''"The invisible force that exists between you and your Pokémon... This time I will determine what it is!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"The things you and your Pokémon have seen and felt... Do they belong to you and you alone? If you would, please have another Pokémon battle with me. By facing you, I feel as if I can see what I should do from now on."''

[[File:Colress anime.png|thumb|220px|Colress in the anime]]
Colress debuted in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', conducting experiments with [[wild Pokémon]] in an attempt to bring out their true strength. From his base in an abandoned observatory outside of [[Floccesy Town]], he used a large machine to generate electromagnetic waves that resonated with small devices on the wild Pokémon's foreheads, increasing their aggression and attack power while also rendering them subservient to Team Plasma's commands. Unfortunately for the villains, the mind-control device's EM waves also leaked into the surrounding wilderness, driving the local Pokémon to attack Floccesy Town and revealing their presence in the area. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Looker]] arrived in the observatory, Colress released his mind-controlled Pokémon on them to test their strength. Impressed by their Pokémon's ability to match his brainwashed Pokémon, he planted one of his controlling devices on {{AP|Pikachu}}, forcing him to fight his Trainer. However, Ash's encouragement allowed Pikachu to fight against the EM waves, eventually causing the device to break and freeing Pikachu, much to Colress's amazement. Before he could gather further data, {{TRT}} showed up, using one of their miniature robots to steal Colress's research data from his computer before quickly reciting their {{motto}} and making an escape with their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. With the mind-controlled Pokémon freed, Colress and the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s he had with him retreated, destroying the observatory with a self-destruct mechanism to get rid of all possible evidence.

Colress appeared again in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', where it was revealed that he had upgraded his Pokémon-controlling machine with his remaining research data. Instead of emitting radio waves to activate separate receivers on its targets, the machine now fired a narrow energy beam which instantly brought any Pokémon it hit under Team Plasma's control. Using this machine, Colress took control of a {{p|Haxorus}}, which he sent rampaging in a city. When Ash and his friends arrived and sent their Pokémon to stop Haxorus, Colress used his machine to take control of [[Iris's Dragonite]], giving the heroes a lot more trouble to deal with. Suddenly Team Rocket appeared, attempting to steal Colress's machine. A battle between [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} and [[Aldith]]'s {{p|Liepard}} then took place, during which one of Liepard's {{m|Shadow Ball}}s accidentally hit the machine, breaking it and freeing Haxorus and Dragonite from his control. Realizing that they were at a disadvantage, Colress and the Plasma Grunts retreated.

Colress appeared briefly in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'' with Aldith, discussing Team Plasma's plans with [[Ghetsis]] on a videophone call.

Colress appeared again in ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]''. {{TRT}} invaded his newest laboratory and drew his security - consisting of Aldith, [[Barret]] and some other Plasma Grunts - into a trap in the woods. Once Colress was alone, Meowth approached him and attempted to convince him to join Team Rocket. Colress refused, but offered to allow Meowth to participate in an experiment to increase his strength. Meowth agreed, having undergone training to resist the mind control device. However, Colress still managed to take control of Meowth, and ordered him to attack Jessie and James. Using {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}}, they managed to snap him out of it before escaping. Later, Colress was seen with his Grunts reporting to Ghetsis, who revealed information about the Light Stone to them.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', Colress appeared with the rest of Team Plasma to commence their operation at the {{an|White Ruins}}. While Aldith, Barret and many other Grunts ambushed the workers at the site, Colress used his perfected machine to seize control of the [[Cedric Juniper's assistants|workers' Pokémon]] and turn them on their Trainers. In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', he also took control of Pikachu again, forcing N to surrender the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Ash's safety. He appeared again in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', aiding Ghetsis in taking control of the awakened {{p|Reshiram}}. When Ash and Pikachu tried to stop him, he used his machine on Pikachu yet again. However, this time Pikachu was able to fight against its control, and - together with Reshiram - destroyed Colress's machine once and for all, thus freeing the controlled Pokémon. Later Colress and the other Team Plasma members were arrested by Looker, thus bringing the team down. As [[Officer Jenny]] took Team Plasma into custody, Colress mentioned his next project will be a device that allows Pokémon to communicate with people.

While Colress has not been shown to own {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, his mind-control device allowed him to temporarily command the following Pokémon:

It appeared to be one of Colress' favorites, as he called it his "star test subject", but passed out when Colress attempted to increase the intensity of the EM waves. After it recovered, it was forced to fight against [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. It was eventually released from Colress's control when Team Rocket stole his data and deactivated the machine.

Galvantula's known moves are {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Electro Ball}}.}}

The first Scolipede was one of the Pokémon Colress used in his initial research, being subjected to EM waves within the old Floccesy Town observatory. It was forced to fight against Ash's Pikachu, and was eventually released from Colress' control when Team Rocket stole his data.

In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Colress tested out the upgraded version of his mind-control machine on another Scolipede. After the Scolipede fired off an attack, Colress turned his machine off, reverting the Scolipede back to its normal state.

The first Scolipede's only known move is {{m|Poison Tail}}. 
The second Scolipede's only known move is {{m|Solar Beam}}.}}

|desc=During the battle against the controlled Pokémon in the abandoned observatory, Colress was impressed by Ash's {{p|Pikachu}}'s strength. Deciding to use the Electric Mouse for his tests, he attached a receiver to Pikachu and turned his EM wave generator to maximum output. Although Pikachu was forced to attack his {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Ash was able to encourage him to fight against the machine. After a struggle, he managed to destroy the receiver on his head, freeing himself from Colress's control.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Colress used his perfected mind-control device to take control of Pikachu again. This time, Ash's pleas did not get through to him, and Colress forced the Mouse Pokémon to viciously attack his Trainer. Colress ultimately freed him from control once N traded the Light Stone for Ash's safety.

In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', during the final battle against Team Plasma, Colress took control of Pikachu for the third time. This time, however, Pikachu was able to fight against the force that controlled him, even disobeying his orders and attacking {{p|Reshiram}}, which was also under Colress's control. Even though Colress fired his device on Pikachu again, he was able to keep fighting, and, together with the similarly-rebelling Reshiram, destroyed the control machine, freeing the controlled Pokémon once and for all.}}

He managed to draw out Kyurem's strength to power up a cannon, which allowed [[Team Plasma]] to freeze [[Opelucid City]] completely.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Colress Adventures.png|thumb|right|170px|Colress in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Hood Man.png|thumb|left|130px|Colress as the Hood Man]]
Colress appeared as an antagonist, helping Team Plasma with their goal of Pokémon liberation. Colress' first appearance was as a competitor in the Unova Pokémon League, where he was disguised as the cloak-bearing '''Hood Man''' (Japanese: '''フードマン''' ''Hood Man''). He managed to sneak in without having earned any of the eight Unova Gym Badges. After battling his way through Victory Road, he eventually made it into the top 8. In the quarterfinals match, he was paired up against [[Marlon]]. Although Marlon managed to disable the moves of Colress' {{p|Beheeyem}}, Colress came out on top and advanced to the next round. After leaving, he noted that participating in the League and observing powerful Trainers would help him in his research. In the semifinals, Colress faced his next opponent, {{adv|Cheren}}. Although Cheren initially struggled due to his {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}}'s disappointing strength, he switched it out for his {{p|Unfezant}} and quickly defeated Colress's Beheeyem with a {{m|U-turn}}.

Later, when Cheren battled with {{adv|Black}}, Colress talked to [[Zinzolin]] about his theory that a cold heart was the best way to bring out a Pokémon's true strength. Although Zinzolin stated that his theory was correct, Colress noted that - in his battles - he was able to see varying styles from many strong Trainers that brought out their Pokémon's strength. When {{adv|White}} discovered that the two were actually members of Team Plasma, she attempted to expose them to everyone at the League. Although she was successful, Colress had his Beheeyem use {{m|Teleport}} to transport her to [[N]]'s room inside his [[N's Castle|castle]].

When Team Plasma made their attack on the Pokémon League and N's Castle rose from the ground, Colress returned to prevent the Elite Four from helping in the battle. There, he revealed that he had been given {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} and that he intended on battling the Elite Four to discover how to transform the three into their Therian Formes. He discovered that a special mirror was the key to transforming the three Pokémon. When Ghetsis was defeated by {{adv|Black}}, Colress rushed in to assist him. Using his {{p|Beheeyem}}, Colress freed Ghetsis, causing Black to be sealed into the [[Dragon Stones|Light Stone]], and Teleported himself and Ghetsis away. Afterwards, he talked to Ghetsis, who thanked him for his assistance. Ghetsis expressed a desire to work with him again, but Colress only agreed as long as it did not impede his research.

Two years later, he attacked [[Aspertia City]] for a test-run of Genesect's abilities. There, he encountered [[Lack-Two]] and [[Looker]], who happened to be in the area. Lack-Two attempted to capture Genesect, noticing that Colress was controlling it with a machine and inferring that it must still be a wild Pokémon. With the help of his {{p|Dewott}}, Lack-Two succeeded in capturing Genesect. Defeated, Colress commended Lack-Two's strength and left, revealing that he had become the new leader of Team Plasma and telling the two that Ghetsis was the one to ask if they wished to discover why. Later, he arrived at the [[Plasma Frigate]] to check up on the new Grunt uniforms he had designed. He met with Ghetsis and stated that they should meet with Zinzolin.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Colress (Plasma Storm 118)}}
[[File:ColressPlasmaStorm135.jpg|200px|thumb|Right|Full Art print of Colress]]
'''Colress''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Plasma Gale}} expansion, it was later released in the {{TCG|Team Plasma's Powered Half Deck}} and {{TCG|Team Plasma Battle Gift Set}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Plasma Storm}} expansion, with all prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Yusuke Ohmura]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in the Plasma Gale and Plasma Storm expansions, with an illustration by [[Kanako Eo]]. Colress allows the player to shuffle their hand into their deck, then draw as many cards as there are Benched Pokémon, the player's as well as the opponent's.

==Trivia==
* Colress does not have an introduction and VS sprite the first two times he is fought. The third time, he has the Team Plasma template used by [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]]. In the post-Champion rematches, he uses the basic template used for battles against [[Gym Leader]]s, [[rival]]s, and [[Benga]].
** Colress's unique battle background music, 戦闘! アクロマ ''[[Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection|Battle! Colress]]'', is not used in the first battle against him; it is first heard when he is fought on the [[Plasma Frigate]] and is kept for rematches.
* Colress bears a striking resemblance to [[Ein]], both in terms of appearance and motive. Both are scientists who wear glasses and a white lab coat and have a hair flick. Furthermore, they both strive to unlock the potential in Pokémon, and side with the evil team of their respective games.

===Quotes===
'''{{si|Pokémon League}}'''
* Before battle
:''"Ah, you timed your arrival well. I've just finished reading a book, you see. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lucian. I am a user of the {{t|Psychic}} type. I must say, you've already proven yourself to be outstanding by coming this far. They say I am the toughest of the [[Elite Four]]. I'm afraid I will have to go all out against you to live up to that reputation."''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Hmm... Now what should I do..."''

* When defeated
:''"I see. You getting past the three before me was no fluke. Your power is real."''

* After being defeated
:''"Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four. However, that doesn't mean you're done with the Pokémon league. There remains the {{pkmn|Champion}}. I should warn you—the Champion is far stronger than the Elite Four. Now, go on. Step through the doorway to your final battle."''
:''"I'll be reading books until the next challenger arrives. That will calm my nerves, so that I may deal with all situations without panicking."''

'''Canalave Library'''
* Lucian's monologue (five variants)
:''"...Ah, hello. You’re here to read, too? Books are wonderful things. The thoughts of people written in books stretch beyond time and space. I was just reading a book of philosophy from an ancient, far-off land. Their '{{p|Arceus|universe}}' was a word that described both {{p|Palkia|space}} and {{p|Dialga|time}}. That people even back then understood the basic tenets of [[Pokémon universe|the universe]]... It fills me with a serene sense of inspiration. I imagine we'll see each other again at the Pokémon League. Take care."''

:''"...Ah, hello. You’re here to read, too? Books are wonderful things. The thoughts of people written in books stretch beyond time and space. I was just reading a collection of observations on Pokémon in the wild. One article addresses the question why Pokémon would go into a [[Poké Ball]]. According to this article, this behavior is based on instinct. A weakened Pokémon will curl up tight in an effort to heal itself. The Poké Ball was invented to take advantage of that protective instinct. I imagine we'll see each other again at the Pokémon League. Take care."''

:''"...Ah, hello. You’re here to read, too? Books are wonderful things. The thoughts of people written in books stretch beyond time and space. I was just reading an analytical tome on humankind. It examines the human species from cultural and social perspectives. This is a thought-provoking quote: 'It all began without humans. The end will also be without humans.' The world we share with Pokémon... Does it exist for us? I imagine we'll see each other again at the Pokémon League. Take care."''

:''"...Ah, hello. You’re here to read, too? Books are wonderful things. The thoughts of people written in books stretch beyond time and space. I was just reading a collection of essays on the science-fiction genre. There was one quote attributed to a novelist I found remarkable. 'Though love may lose, kindness wins.' I find that philosophical and, at the same time, compassionate. I imagine we'll see each other again at the Pokémon League. Take care."''

:''"...Ah, hello. You’re here to read, too? Books are wonderful things. The thoughts of people written in books stretch beyond time and space. I was just reading a collection of letters written by an artist long ago. More precisely, they were written to the artist's younger brother. 'The stars above tantalize from across infinite space. Feeling their gaze from so far away, I am charmed again by life.' The artist must have come to a conclusion seeing the night sky... It's an affirmation of life. It's very moving. I imagine we'll see each other again at the Pokémon League. Take care."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Lucian anime.png|thumb|220px|Lucian in the anime]]
Lucian made his debut in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]''.

He was first seen battling using his {{p|Girafarig}} on [[television]], but then met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a [[Pokémon Center]] and had a battle against [[Dawn's Buizel]]. Lucian sent out his {{p|Bronzong}}. Buizel's attacks didn't have much of an effect, if any, on Bronzong. Following the attack {{m|Gyro Ball}}, Bronzong used {{m|Flash Cannon}} to defeat its opponent.

He also made a brief cameo on television in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' battling [[Cynthia]] and her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. He ended up being defeated.

|desc={{p|Bronzong}} is Lucian's main Pokémon. The first time he used it was in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', where it battled against {{an|Dawn}}'s newly captured {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}. Because Buizel didn't listen to Dawn, he quickly lost. Later in the same episode they had a rematch, and because Buizel was now listening to Dawn, the battle went better. However, Lucian eventually recalled Bronzong, saying that he had just wanted to prove Buizel's potential for becoming strong.

Later in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' Lucian used his Bronzong in his battle against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], but the Bronze Bell Pokémon was soon [[fainting|knocked out]] by the Mach Pokémon's powerful {{m|Giga Impact}}.

Bronzong also appeared alongside Lucian during the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Bronzong's known moves are {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Gyro Ball}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}.}}

Lucian, along with Bertha and Aaron, are enlisted by the [[Pokémon Association]] to decipher [[Charon]]'s notebook that was stolen by {{adv|Diamond}}'s {{DL|Diamond (Adventures)|Kit}}. Using his talents in reading books, Lucian was able to easily figure out what the book says and gives it to Diamond and {{adv|Pearl}} so they can use it to stop Charon from capturing the Legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh.

In this series, Lucian's reading skills are shown to be great enough for him to easily finish a book in only a few mere moments.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}. Prior to [[Generation II]], he was officially referred to as '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''').

Red is known throughout as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as the living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and is the new owner of the Battle Tree alongside Blue in Pokemon Sun and Moon.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old (10 in the European releases) boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, it is revealed that Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.

After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|a package}} back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.

Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that Pokémon battles are about having fun, not business. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.

Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.

Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.

Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, Red travels to [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] with Blue.

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].

When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]

===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
Red himself appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.
{{-}}

==In other games==
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolor of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====In the main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart]]
Red's [[cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto and Generation V during Unova, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

====In Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|200px|Red in Pokémon Origins]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen.

====In Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|200px|left|Red in Pokémon Generations]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he captured a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in [[Viridian Forest]], and went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, encountering various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red reappeared briefly at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Like in the main games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.

=====Pokémon=====

|main=Red's Pikachu (game)
|desc={{p|Pikachu}} is one of Red's Pokémon and has been used by him in many of his battles.

Red encountered Pikachu while in [[Viridian Forest]]. He sent out his {{p|Bulbasaur}} against it, but caught it in a [[Poké Ball]] without battling. After catching it, Red immediately let it out its Poké Ball and had it battle a {{p|Caterpie}}.

Pikachu continued to travel with its trainer throughout [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]], battling against Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.}}

* When Red caught Pikachu, he was revealed to have already obtained at least two other Pokémon besides Bulbasaur.

=====Achievements=====
======Badges obtained======
This listing is of the [[Badge]]s Red has obtained in the [[Kanto]] region:
* At least eight Badges (prior to ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'')

===In the manga===
Red, like most player characters, also has several counterparts in the various Pokémon manga series.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
{{Main|Red (Adventures)}}
{{adv|Red}} is Red's direct counterpart in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

====In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga====
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]
Another counterpart of Red makes an appearance in the [[JBA6|final chapter]] of Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} while [[Jō]] battled the Gym Leader. Jō then officially encountered Red when he reached the top of [[Mt. Silver]].

====Pokémon====

{{-}}

====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Red's anime counterpart, [[Ash Ketchum]], appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.

====In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga====
{{main|Shu}}
[[Shu]] from [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] is based on Red.

====In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga====
{{main|Red (Pocket Monsters)}}
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} shares his game counterpart's name and appearance in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].

There is also a character in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}} who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Red's appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

====In the Pokémon Zensho manga====
{{main|Satoshi (Zensho)}}
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] is based on Red.

==Trivia==
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Concept art of original series Ash's hat]]
* In the '''''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, [[Game Freak]] teased the supposed appearances of Red, [[Professor Oak]], and [[Giovanni]] in the upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the namesake of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of his default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before settling on the name "Red", one of the two original color versions of the games.
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the {{series|original}}. Then, possibly, his updated initial profile front sprite was recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses that sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, as these games were originally scheduled for a March 1998 release according to the '''''Official Guidebook of Nintendo Spaceworld '97''''' (Japanese: '''NINTENDOスペースワールド'97オフィシャルガイドブック''') and the Nintendo Spaceworld 1997 website,<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/19980224225429/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/swgbsoft/swgb03.html#gb19 SPACEWORLD'97 出展　GAME BOYソフト]</ref> while Pokémon Yellow came out in September 1998, just months after Game Freak decided to delay them. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}.
*** In contrast, {{Ash}}'s hat in the {{series|original}} of the {{pkmn|anime}} was actually similar to Red's hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can be evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermilion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events.
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
** His party in the Generation II games also matches that of {{adv|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga during his venture to [[Mt. Silver]], although Pokémon Adventures Red only borrowed {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} and [[Blasty|Blastoise]] temporarily from {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}, respectively, as he didn't ''own'' those Pokémon.
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's party in [[Generation II]] featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series}} and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his Pikachu at [[level]] 81, beating the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Pokémon Platinum, {{ga|Barry}}'s party received a boost in level, putting his {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}} at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at levels as high as 100, the maximum possible. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's party a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping at level 88, Red recovered his status as the highest-leveled {{pkmn|Trainer}} opponent. [[Benga]] on [[Challenge Mode]], however, is a close second with all 3 of his Pokémon at level 85. His levels are tied with Barry's on the weekend battles after beating the Champion 30 times.
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in {{game|Sun and Moon|s}}.
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:

{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Do you like POKéMON?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Huh?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|You’re strange!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|But, that’s my favorite hobby!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}

::Similarly, after giving Copycat a {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and receiving [[TM31]]{{sup/1|RGBY}} or having her teach {{m|Mimic}} to a compatible {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:

{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Thanks for earlier!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Pardon?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Is it that fun to mimic my}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|every move?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: You bet!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|It’s a scream!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}

::This implies that Red is speaking.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding Giovanni and Koga), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of seven so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and [[Lance]] share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}'s [[Champions Tournament]].
* Red's T-Shirt in Pokemon Sun and Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese date of release of Pokemon Red and Green, 1996.

** According to game scenario author [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]], Hilbert and Hilda were initially visualized to be at the age of 16<ref>https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/387216363829198848/ Toshinobu Matsumiya's Tweet</ref>. Whether this is still the case in the release version is unknown.

Sun & Moon: /* Characters */

{{incomplete|needs=Pokkén Tournament player characters}}
[[File:RedStart.png|frame|The beginning of {{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]].]]
A '''player character''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}}}''' ''protagonist'') in the world of [[Pokémon]] is the main character in the plot of the [[Pokémon games]]. Remarkably silent, players are represented by an avatar; it is left up to the real player to "fill in" what they imagine the character is feeling, thinking, and acting, thus immersing him/her within the world of the game.

==Core series==
===Gameplay===
[[File:PlayerCharactersGrouped.png|thumb|255px|The player characters of the core series games]]
In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]. They start their journey in their [[hometown]] by getting a [[starter Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is usually of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}. The region's native [[Pokémon Professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex. Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, players can also choose their character's gender. Usually, they have [[rival]]s who begin their journey at about the same time. Players take part in several events, and meet a great number of Pokémon and people during their adventure. A common target is to conquer a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Several additional sidequests occur during and after each game's main plot.

To date, only one player character has reappeared from an older generation in a role other than that of the player. In [[Generation II]] and the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes]], when {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, {{ga|Red}} is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control. At the time of these games' respective releases, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|game}} was the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an in-game Trainer ({{ga|Barry}}'s fully evolved starter Pokémon temporarily surpassed the standard set in Gold and Silver until the release of their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver).

The player character can be named in all core series games at the beginning of the game using the same interface as that for entering [[nickname]]s for Pokémon.

==Side series games==
===Stadium series===
Three unnamed player characters appear in [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. Japanese-only {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}} featured one male character, whose design was likely based on {{ga|Red}}. However, for {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|the sequel}}, a brand new male character was created. This player was also in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where he was given a female counterpart. She appears when a player uses a {{game|Crystal}} Game Pak. Like the [[core series]] player characters, these three characters remain silent throughout the games.

===Orre series===
Aside from the standard that many of the games' player characters take in their journey, there are also several other ways in which other player characters complete their journey, such as [[Wes]] and [[Michael]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] who are called to defeat [[Cipher]] and free all of their [[Snagging|snagged]] Pokémon from their [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow state]].

They use the Pokémon they have captured with the [[Capture Styler]] to help them along the way. They also have [[partner Pokémon]] that follow them wherever they go.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], players play as actual Pokémon. Unlike most other Pokémon games, the player actually talks, but is given pre-generated phrases to say to questions. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], after defeating [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] on the top of the [[Temporal Tower]], on the way back to [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], the player speaks in full sentences instead of silently thinking to themselves or having answer choices. This type of dialogue is used by the player on rare occasions, in small amounts, throughout the story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]].

==In the anime==
[[File:May Kanto Grand Festival.png|thumb|220px|May's anime counterpart]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], six of the player characters have been given major roles, four of them in the main anime series. {{Ash}} represents {{ga|Red}} (his game counterpart), being based on him in appearance as well as basic history ([[Ritchie]], by extension of resembling Ash, also resembles Red, although his basic history is unknown). At the beginning of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, {{an|May}} was introduced in order to better represent [[Generation III]], as both [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] are characters who originated in [[Generation I]]. Likewise, at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{an|Dawn}} joined Ash. In the {{series|XY}}, {{an|Serena}} joined Ash in order to represent [[Generation VI]].

{{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, taking a similar role to Ash and his companions, fighting [[Team Rocket]] members to protect [[Legendary Pokémon]]. While the protagonists of [[Generation II]] did not join Ash's company, these two filled the roles as the anime counterparts to {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}.

{{an|Lyra}} appears in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', and joins the group for a brief time until ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''.

Ash and {{ashfr}} have also encountered several player characters from the side games. [[Todd Snap]] was the first, and a special case, as he originated in the anime before appearing in Pokémon Snap. He joins the group for a few episodes at two points in the anime: once during the [[S01|Indigo League]] and once during [[S04|Johto League Champions]]. The others, [[Solana]], [[Kellyn]], and {{ra|Ben}} are all {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s that Ash and friends assisted in rescuing and protecting Pokémon.

So far, {{ga|Brendan}} has only made a few select cameo appearances at the beginning of some of the {{pkmn|movie}}s, while {{ga|Lucas}} made a cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' battling Brendan. {{ga|Ethan}} also appears with a second counterpart at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

None of the Generation V player characters have yet been seen in the main anime.

==In the manga==
Many of the characters appearing in various Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}} are based on player and rival characters from the [[core series]] games. These characters usually play a major role within the series.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Ruby RS chapter.png|thumb|left|200px|{{adv|Ruby}}, one of Brendan's manga counterparts]]
[[Pokémon Adventures]] features many [[cross-canon counterpart]]s for most of the player and rival characters in the games, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s. The same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with {{adv|Giovanni}}. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. {{adv|Wally}}, the closest thing to a third main character, was dropped in favor of this new character designed entirely from scratch. As of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl|''Diamond & Pearl''}} and {{chap|Platinum}}s, only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region.

Additionally, though {{ga|Lyra}} is almost universally accepted as a different character from {{ga|Kris}}, rather than a redesign like Ethan, {{Adv|Crystal}} has appeared wearing her clothes to serve as a counterpart, rather than introducing a second [[Johto]] female protagonist for the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

===In other manga===
In addition to Pokémon Adventures characters, there are many characters that have very similar character designs as player or rival characters from the games. These include {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], [[Rald]] from [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], and {{GnB|Black}} from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Most of the male characters that {{Ash}}, the main character from the [[Pokémon anime]], has encountered have been from side games, like {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. [[Ethan (game)#In the anime|Only one counterpart of a male player character]] has met Ash, in [[M13|the thirteenth movie]].
* {{ga|Red}}'s dialogue during his appearance as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], reflects the games' player characters' status as silent protagonists.
* The list of default names per gender generally repeats{{tt|*|starting in Pokémon Crystal}} from game to game. Exceptions to this are character-specific names, which are names unique to a character and are usually references to the title or aspects of the game.
* Until [[Generation V]], the given Japanese names of the male player characters in the [[core series]] games (as NPCs) all end in ''ki'' ('''キ'''). This excludes Red's appearance in Generations II and IV, as he is not a player character during the games when he is an NPC. Inclusively, Lunick's Japanese name also ends in ''ki''.

[[File:RedStart.png|frame|The beginning of {{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]].]]
A '''player character''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}}}''' ''protagonist'') in the world of [[Pokémon]] is the main character in the plot of the [[Pokémon games]]. Remarkably silent, players are represented by an avatar; it is left up to the real player to "fill in" what they imagine the character is feeling, thinking, and acting, thus immersing him/her within the world of the game.

In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]. They start their journey in their [[hometown]] by getting a [[starter Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is usually of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}. The region's native [[Pokémon Professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex. Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, players can also choose their character's gender. Usually, they have [[rival]]s who begin their journey at about the same time. Players take part in several events, and meet a great number of Pokémon and people during their adventure. A common target is to conquer a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Several additional sidequests occur during and after each game's main plot.

To date, only one player character has reappeared from an older generation in a role other than that of the player. In [[Generation II]] and the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes]], when {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, {{ga|Red}} is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control. At the time of these games' respective releases, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|game}} was the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an in-game Trainer ({{ga|Barry}}'s fully evolved starter Pokémon temporarily surpassed the standard set in Gold and Silver until the release of their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver).

The player character can be named in all core series games at the beginning of the game using the same interface as that for entering [[nickname]]s for Pokémon.

==Side series games==
===Stadium series===
Three unnamed player characters appear in [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. Japanese-only {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}} featured one male character, whose design was likely based on {{ga|Red}}. However, for {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|the sequel}}, a brand new male character was created. This player was also in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where he was given a female counterpart. She appears when a player uses a {{game|Crystal}} Game Pak. Like the [[core series]] player characters, these three characters remain silent throughout the games.

===Orre series===
Aside from the standard that many of the games' player characters take in their journey, there are also several other ways in which other player characters complete their journey, such as [[Wes]] and [[Michael]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] who are called to defeat [[Cipher]] and free all of their [[Snagging|snagged]] Pokémon from their [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow state]].

They use the Pokémon they have captured with the [[Capture Styler]] to help them along the way. They also have [[partner Pokémon]] that follow them wherever they go.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], players play as actual Pokémon. Unlike most other Pokémon games, the player actually talks, but is given pre-generated phrases to say to questions. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], after defeating [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] on the top of the [[Temporal Tower]], on the way back to [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], the player speaks in full sentences instead of silently thinking to themselves or having answer choices. This type of dialogue is used by the player on rare occasions, in small amounts, throughout the story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]].

==In the anime==
[[File:May Kanto Grand Festival.png|thumb|220px|May's anime counterpart]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], six of the player characters have been given major roles, four of them in the main anime series. {{Ash}} represents {{ga|Red}} (his game counterpart), being based on him in appearance as well as basic history ([[Ritchie]], by extension of resembling Ash, also resembles Red, although his basic history is unknown). At the beginning of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, {{an|May}} was introduced in order to better represent [[Generation III]], as both [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] are characters who originated in [[Generation I]]. Likewise, at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{an|Dawn}} joined Ash. In the {{series|XY}}, {{an|Serena}} joined Ash in order to represent [[Generation VI]].

{{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, taking a similar role to Ash and his companions, fighting [[Team Rocket]] members to protect [[Legendary Pokémon]]. While the protagonists of [[Generation II]] did not join Ash's company, these two filled the roles as the anime counterparts to {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}.

{{an|Lyra}} appears in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', and joins the group for a brief time until ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''.

Ash and {{ashfr}} have also encountered several player characters from the side games. [[Todd Snap]] was the first, and a special case, as he originated in the anime before appearing in Pokémon Snap. He joins the group for a few episodes at two points in the anime: once during the [[S01|Indigo League]] and once during [[S04|Johto League Champions]]. The others, [[Solana]], [[Kellyn]], and {{ra|Ben}} are all {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s that Ash and friends assisted in rescuing and protecting Pokémon.

So far, {{ga|Brendan}} has only made a few select cameo appearances at the beginning of some of the {{pkmn|movie}}s, while {{ga|Lucas}} made a cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' battling Brendan. {{ga|Ethan}} also appears with a second counterpart at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

None of the Generation V player characters have yet been seen in the main anime.

==In the manga==
Many of the characters appearing in various Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}} are based on player and rival characters from the [[core series]] games. These characters usually play a major role within the series.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Ruby RS chapter.png|thumb|left|200px|{{adv|Ruby}}, one of Brendan's manga counterparts]]
[[Pokémon Adventures]] features many [[cross-canon counterpart]]s for most of the player and rival characters in the games, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s. The same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with {{adv|Giovanni}}. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. {{adv|Wally}}, the closest thing to a third main character, was dropped in favor of this new character designed entirely from scratch. As of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl|''Diamond & Pearl''}} and {{chap|Platinum}}s, only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region.

Additionally, though {{ga|Lyra}} is almost universally accepted as a different character from {{ga|Kris}}, rather than a redesign like Ethan, {{Adv|Crystal}} has appeared wearing her clothes to serve as a counterpart, rather than introducing a second [[Johto]] female protagonist for the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

===In other manga===
In addition to Pokémon Adventures characters, there are many characters that have very similar character designs as player or rival characters from the games. These include {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], [[Rald]] from [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], and {{GnB|Black}} from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Most of the male characters that {{Ash}}, the main character from the [[Pokémon anime]], has encountered have been from side games, like {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. [[Ethan (game)#In the anime|Only one counterpart of a male player character]] has met Ash, in [[M13|the thirteenth movie]].
* {{ga|Red}}'s dialogue during his appearance as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], reflects the games' player characters' status as silent protagonists.
* The list of default names per gender generally repeats{{tt|*|starting in Pokémon Crystal}} from game to game. Exceptions to this are character-specific names, which are names unique to a character and are usually references to the title or aspects of the game.
* Until [[Generation V]], the given Japanese names of the male player characters in the [[core series]] games (as NPCs) all end in ''ki'' ('''キ'''). This excludes Red's appearance in Generations II and IV, as he is not a player character during the games when he is an NPC. Inclusively, Lunick's Japanese name also ends in ''ki''.

Sun & Moon: /* Characters */

{{incomplete|needs=Pokkén Tournament player characters}}
[[File:RedStart.png|frame|The beginning of {{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]].]]
A '''player character''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}}}''' ''protagonist'') in the world of [[Pokémon]] is the main character in the plot of the [[Pokémon games]]. Remarkably silent, players are represented by an avatar; it is left up to the real player to "fill in" what they imagine the character is feeling, thinking, and acting, thus immersing him/her within the world of the game.

==Core series==
===Gameplay===
[[File:PlayerCharactersGrouped.png|thumb|255px|The player characters of the core series games]]
In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]. They start their journey in their [[hometown]] by getting a [[starter Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is usually of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}. The region's native [[Pokémon Professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex. Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, players can also choose their character's gender. Usually, they have [[rival]]s who begin their journey at about the same time. Players take part in several events, and meet a great number of Pokémon and people during their adventure. A common target is to conquer a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Several additional sidequests occur during and after each game's main plot.

To date, only one player character has reappeared from an older generation in a role other than that of the player. In [[Generation II]] and the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes]], when {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, {{ga|Red}} is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control. At the time of these games' respective releases, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|game}} was the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an in-game Trainer ({{ga|Barry}}'s fully evolved starter Pokémon temporarily surpassed the standard set in Gold and Silver until the release of their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver).

The player character can be named in all core series games at the beginning of the game using the same interface as that for entering [[nickname]]s for Pokémon.

==Side series games==
===Stadium series===
Three unnamed player characters appear in [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. Japanese-only {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}} featured one male character, whose design was likely based on {{ga|Red}}. However, for {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|the sequel}}, a brand new male character was created. This player was also in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where he was given a female counterpart. She appears when a player uses a {{game|Crystal}} Game Pak. Like the [[core series]] player characters, these three characters remain silent throughout the games.

===Orre series===
Aside from the standard that many of the games' player characters take in their journey, there are also several other ways in which other player characters complete their journey, such as [[Wes]] and [[Michael]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] who are called to defeat [[Cipher]] and free all of their [[Snagging|snagged]] Pokémon from their [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow state]].

They use the Pokémon they have captured with the [[Capture Styler]] to help them along the way. They also have [[partner Pokémon]] that follow them wherever they go.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], players play as actual Pokémon. Unlike most other Pokémon games, the player actually talks, but is given pre-generated phrases to say to questions. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], after defeating [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] on the top of the [[Temporal Tower]], on the way back to [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], the player speaks in full sentences instead of silently thinking to themselves or having answer choices. This type of dialogue is used by the player on rare occasions, in small amounts, throughout the story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]].

==In the anime==
[[File:May Kanto Grand Festival.png|thumb|220px|May's anime counterpart]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], six of the player characters have been given major roles, four of them in the main anime series. {{Ash}} represents {{ga|Red}} (his game counterpart), being based on him in appearance as well as basic history ([[Ritchie]], by extension of resembling Ash, also resembles Red, although his basic history is unknown). At the beginning of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, {{an|May}} was introduced in order to better represent [[Generation III]], as both [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] are characters who originated in [[Generation I]]. Likewise, at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{an|Dawn}} joined Ash. In the {{series|XY}}, {{an|Serena}} joined Ash in order to represent [[Generation VI]].

{{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, taking a similar role to Ash and his companions, fighting [[Team Rocket]] members to protect [[Legendary Pokémon]]. While the protagonists of [[Generation II]] did not join Ash's company, these two filled the roles as the anime counterparts to {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}.

{{an|Lyra}} appears in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', and joins the group for a brief time until ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''.

Ash and {{ashfr}} have also encountered several player characters from the side games. [[Todd Snap]] was the first, and a special case, as he originated in the anime before appearing in Pokémon Snap. He joins the group for a few episodes at two points in the anime: once during the [[S01|Indigo League]] and once during [[S04|Johto League Champions]]. The others, [[Solana]], [[Kellyn]], and {{ra|Ben}} are all {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s that Ash and friends assisted in rescuing and protecting Pokémon.

So far, {{ga|Brendan}} has only made a few select cameo appearances at the beginning of some of the {{pkmn|movie}}s, while {{ga|Lucas}} made a cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' battling Brendan. {{ga|Ethan}} also appears with a second counterpart at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

None of the Generation V player characters have yet been seen in the main anime.

==In the manga==
Many of the characters appearing in various Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}} are based on player and rival characters from the [[core series]] games. These characters usually play a major role within the series.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Ruby RS chapter.png|thumb|left|200px|{{adv|Ruby}}, one of Brendan's manga counterparts]]
[[Pokémon Adventures]] features many [[cross-canon counterpart]]s for most of the player and rival characters in the games, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s. The same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with {{adv|Giovanni}}. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. {{adv|Wally}}, the closest thing to a third main character, was dropped in favor of this new character designed entirely from scratch. As of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl|''Diamond & Pearl''}} and {{chap|Platinum}}s, only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region.

Additionally, though {{ga|Lyra}} is almost universally accepted as a different character from {{ga|Kris}}, rather than a redesign like Ethan, {{Adv|Crystal}} has appeared wearing her clothes to serve as a counterpart, rather than introducing a second [[Johto]] female protagonist for the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

===In other manga===
In addition to Pokémon Adventures characters, there are many characters that have very similar character designs as player or rival characters from the games. These include {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], [[Rald]] from [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], and {{GnB|Black}} from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Most of the male characters that {{Ash}}, the main character from the [[Pokémon anime]], has encountered have been from side games, like {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. [[Ethan (game)#In the anime|Only one counterpart of a male player character]] has met Ash, in [[M13|the thirteenth movie]].
* {{ga|Red}}'s dialogue during his appearance as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], reflects the games' player characters' status as silent protagonists.
* The list of default names per gender generally repeats{{tt|*|starting in Pokémon Crystal}} from game to game. Exceptions to this are character-specific names, which are names unique to a character and are usually references to the title or aspects of the game.
* Until [[Generation V]], the given Japanese names of the male player characters in the [[core series]] games (as NPCs) all end in ''ki'' ('''キ'''). This excludes Red's appearance in Generations II and IV, as he is not a player character during the games when he is an NPC. Inclusively, Lunick's Japanese name also ends in ''ki''.

Sun & Moon: /* Characters */

{{incomplete|needs=Pokkén Tournament player characters}}
[[File:RedStart.png|frame|The beginning of {{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]].]]
A '''player character''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}}}''' ''protagonist'') in the world of [[Pokémon]] is the main character in the plot of the [[Pokémon games]]. Remarkably silent, players are represented by an avatar; it is left up to the real player to "fill in" what they imagine the character is feeling, thinking, and acting, thus immersing him/her within the world of the game.

==Core series==
===Gameplay===
[[File:PlayerCharactersGrouped.png|thumb|255px|The player characters of the core series games]]
In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]. They start their journey in their [[hometown]] by getting a [[starter Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is usually of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}. The region's native [[Pokémon Professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex. Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, players can also choose their character's gender. Usually, they have [[rival]]s who begin their journey at about the same time. Players take part in several events, and meet a great number of Pokémon and people during their adventure. A common target is to conquer a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Several additional sidequests occur during and after each game's main plot.

To date, only one player character has reappeared from an older generation in a role other than that of the player. In [[Generation II]] and the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes]], when {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, {{ga|Red}} is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control. At the time of these games' respective releases, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|game}} was the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an in-game Trainer ({{ga|Barry}}'s fully evolved starter Pokémon temporarily surpassed the standard set in Gold and Silver until the release of their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver).

The player character can be named in all core series games at the beginning of the game using the same interface as that for entering [[nickname]]s for Pokémon.

==Side series games==
===Stadium series===
Three unnamed player characters appear in [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. Japanese-only {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}} featured one male character, whose design was likely based on {{ga|Red}}. However, for {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|the sequel}}, a brand new male character was created. This player was also in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where he was given a female counterpart. She appears when a player uses a {{game|Crystal}} Game Pak. Like the [[core series]] player characters, these three characters remain silent throughout the games.

===Orre series===
Aside from the standard that many of the games' player characters take in their journey, there are also several other ways in which other player characters complete their journey, such as [[Wes]] and [[Michael]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] who are called to defeat [[Cipher]] and free all of their [[Snagging|snagged]] Pokémon from their [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow state]].

In the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} series, [[Lunick]], [[Solana]], [[Kellyn]], {{ra|Kate}}, {{ra|Ben}} and {{ra|Summer}} are not Pokémon Trainers, but instead {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s. They use the Pokémon they have captured with the [[Capture Styler]] to help them along the way. They also have [[partner Pokémon]] that follow them wherever they go.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], players play as actual Pokémon. Unlike most other Pokémon games, the player actually talks, but is given pre-generated phrases to say to questions. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], after defeating [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] on the top of the [[Temporal Tower]], on the way back to [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], the player speaks in full sentences instead of silently thinking to themselves or having answer choices. This type of dialogue is used by the player on rare occasions, in small amounts, throughout the story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]].

==In the anime==
[[File:May Kanto Grand Festival.png|thumb|220px|May's anime counterpart]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], six of the player characters have been given major roles, four of them in the main anime series. {{Ash}} represents {{ga|Red}} (his game counterpart), being based on him in appearance as well as basic history ([[Ritchie]], by extension of resembling Ash, also resembles Red, although his basic history is unknown). At the beginning of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, {{an|May}} was introduced in order to better represent [[Generation III]], as both [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] are characters who originated in [[Generation I]]. Likewise, at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{an|Dawn}} joined Ash. In the {{series|XY}}, {{an|Serena}} joined Ash in order to represent [[Generation VI]].

{{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, taking a similar role to Ash and his companions, fighting [[Team Rocket]] members to protect [[Legendary Pokémon]]. While the protagonists of [[Generation II]] did not join Ash's company, these two filled the roles as the anime counterparts to {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}.

{{an|Lyra}} appears in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', and joins the group for a brief time until ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''.

Ash and {{ashfr}} have also encountered several player characters from the side games. [[Todd Snap]] was the first, and a special case, as he originated in the anime before appearing in Pokémon Snap. He joins the group for a few episodes at two points in the anime: once during the [[S01|Indigo League]] and once during [[S04|Johto League Champions]]. The others, [[Solana]], [[Kellyn]], and {{ra|Ben}} are all {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s that Ash and friends assisted in rescuing and protecting Pokémon.

So far, {{ga|Brendan}} has only made a few select cameo appearances at the beginning of some of the {{pkmn|movie}}s, while {{ga|Lucas}} made a cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' battling Brendan. {{ga|Ethan}} also appears with a second counterpart at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

None of the Generation V player characters have yet been seen in the main anime.

==In the manga==
Many of the characters appearing in various Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}} are based on player and rival characters from the [[core series]] games. These characters usually play a major role within the series.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Ruby RS chapter.png|thumb|left|200px|{{adv|Ruby}}, one of Brendan's manga counterparts]]
[[Pokémon Adventures]] features many [[cross-canon counterpart]]s for most of the player and rival characters in the games, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s. The same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with {{adv|Giovanni}}. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. {{adv|Wally}}, the closest thing to a third main character, was dropped in favor of this new character designed entirely from scratch. As of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl|''Diamond & Pearl''}} and {{chap|Platinum}}s, only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region.

Additionally, though {{ga|Lyra}} is almost universally accepted as a different character from {{ga|Kris}}, rather than a redesign like Ethan, {{Adv|Crystal}} has appeared wearing her clothes to serve as a counterpart, rather than introducing a second [[Johto]] female protagonist for the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

===In other manga===
In addition to Pokémon Adventures characters, there are many characters that have very similar character designs as player or rival characters from the games. These include {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], [[Rald]] from [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], and {{GnB|Black}} from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Most of the male characters that {{Ash}}, the main character from the [[Pokémon anime]], has encountered have been from side games, like {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. [[Ethan (game)#In the anime|Only one counterpart of a male player character]] has met Ash, in [[M13|the thirteenth movie]].
* {{ga|Red}}'s dialogue during his appearance as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], reflects the games' player characters' status as silent protagonists.
* The list of default names per gender generally repeats{{tt|*|starting in Pokémon Crystal}} from game to game. Exceptions to this are character-specific names, which are names unique to a character and are usually references to the title or aspects of the game.
* Until [[Generation V]], the given Japanese names of the male player characters in the [[core series]] games (as NPCs) all end in ''ki'' ('''キ'''). This excludes Red's appearance in Generations II and IV, as he is not a player character during the games when he is an NPC. Inclusively, Lunick's Japanese name also ends in ''ki''.

Sun & Moon: /* Characters */

{{incomplete|needs=Pokkén Tournament player characters}}
[[File:RedStart.png|frame|The beginning of {{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]].]]
A '''player character''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}}}''' ''protagonist'') in the world of [[Pokémon]] is the main character in the plot of the [[Pokémon games]]. Remarkably silent, players are represented by an avatar; it is left up to the real player to "fill in" what they imagine the character is feeling, thinking, and acting, thus immersing him/her within the world of the game.

==Core series==
===Gameplay===
[[File:PlayerCharactersGrouped.png|thumb|255px|The player characters of the core series games]]
In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]. They start their journey in their [[hometown]] by getting a [[starter Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is usually of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}. The region's native [[Pokémon Professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex. Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, players can also choose their character's gender. Usually, they have [[rival]]s who begin their journey at about the same time. Players take part in several events, and meet a great number of Pokémon and people during their adventure. A common target is to conquer a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Several additional sidequests occur during and after each game's main plot.

To date, only one player character has reappeared from an older generation in a role other than that of the player. In [[Generation II]] and the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes]], when {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, {{ga|Red}} is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control. At the time of these games' respective releases, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|game}} was the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an in-game Trainer ({{ga|Barry}}'s fully evolved starter Pokémon temporarily surpassed the standard set in Gold and Silver until the release of their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver).

The player character can be named in all core series games at the beginning of the game using the same interface as that for entering [[nickname]]s for Pokémon.

==Side series games==
===Stadium series===
Three unnamed player characters appear in [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. Japanese-only {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}} featured one male character, whose design was likely based on {{ga|Red}}. However, for {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|the sequel}}, a brand new male character was created. This player was also in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where he was given a female counterpart. She appears when a player uses a {{game|Crystal}} Game Pak. Like the [[core series]] player characters, these three characters remain silent throughout the games.

===Orre series===
Aside from the standard that many of the games' player characters take in their journey, there are also several other ways in which other player characters complete their journey, such as [[Wes]] and [[Michael]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] who are called to defeat [[Cipher]] and free all of their [[Snagging|snagged]] Pokémon from their [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow state]].

They use the Pokémon they have captured with the [[Capture Styler]] to help them along the way. They also have [[partner Pokémon]] that follow them wherever they go.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], players play as actual Pokémon. Unlike most other Pokémon games, the player actually talks, but is given pre-generated phrases to say to questions. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], after defeating [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] on the top of the [[Temporal Tower]], on the way back to [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], the player speaks in full sentences instead of silently thinking to themselves or having answer choices. This type of dialogue is used by the player on rare occasions, in small amounts, throughout the story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]].

==In the anime==
[[File:May Kanto Grand Festival.png|thumb|220px|May's anime counterpart]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], six of the player characters have been given major roles, four of them in the main anime series. {{Ash}} represents {{ga|Red}} (his game counterpart), being based on him in appearance as well as basic history ([[Ritchie]], by extension of resembling Ash, also resembles Red, although his basic history is unknown). At the beginning of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, {{an|May}} was introduced in order to better represent [[Generation III]], as both [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] are characters who originated in [[Generation I]]. Likewise, at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{an|Dawn}} joined Ash. In the {{series|XY}}, {{an|Serena}} joined Ash in order to represent [[Generation VI]].

{{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, taking a similar role to Ash and his companions, fighting [[Team Rocket]] members to protect [[Legendary Pokémon]]. While the protagonists of [[Generation II]] did not join Ash's company, these two filled the roles as the anime counterparts to {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}.

{{an|Lyra}} appears in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', and joins the group for a brief time until ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''.

Ash and {{ashfr}} have also encountered several player characters from the side games. [[Todd Snap]] was the first, and a special case, as he originated in the anime before appearing in Pokémon Snap. He joins the group for a few episodes at two points in the anime: once during the [[S01|Indigo League]] and once during [[S04|Johto League Champions]]. The others, [[Solana]], [[Kellyn]], and {{ra|Ben}} are all {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s that Ash and friends assisted in rescuing and protecting Pokémon.

So far, {{ga|Brendan}} has only made a few select cameo appearances at the beginning of some of the {{pkmn|movie}}s, while {{ga|Lucas}} made a cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' battling Brendan. {{ga|Ethan}} also appears with a second counterpart at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

None of the Generation V player characters have yet been seen in the main anime.

==In the manga==
Many of the characters appearing in various Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}} are based on player and rival characters from the [[core series]] games. These characters usually play a major role within the series.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Ruby RS chapter.png|thumb|left|200px|{{adv|Ruby}}, one of Brendan's manga counterparts]]
[[Pokémon Adventures]] features many [[cross-canon counterpart]]s for most of the player and rival characters in the games, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s. The same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with {{adv|Giovanni}}. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. {{adv|Wally}}, the closest thing to a third main character, was dropped in favor of this new character designed entirely from scratch. As of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl|''Diamond & Pearl''}} and {{chap|Platinum}}s, only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region.

Additionally, though {{ga|Lyra}} is almost universally accepted as a different character from {{ga|Kris}}, rather than a redesign like Ethan, {{Adv|Crystal}} has appeared wearing her clothes to serve as a counterpart, rather than introducing a second [[Johto]] female protagonist for the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

===In other manga===
In addition to Pokémon Adventures characters, there are many characters that have very similar character designs as player or rival characters from the games. These include {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], [[Rald]] from [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], and {{GnB|Black}} from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]].

==Trivia==
* Most of the male characters that {{Ash}}, the main character from the [[Pokémon anime]], has encountered have been from side games, like {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. [[Ethan (game)#In the anime|Only one counterpart of a male player character]] has met Ash, in [[M13|the thirteenth movie]].
* {{ga|Red}}'s dialogue during his appearance as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], reflects the games' player characters' status as silent protagonists.
* The list of default names per gender generally repeats{{tt|*|starting in Pokémon Crystal}} from game to game. Exceptions to this are character-specific names, which are names unique to a character and are usually references to the title or aspects of the game.
* Until [[Generation V]], the given Japanese names of the male player characters in the [[core series]] games (as NPCs) all end in ''ki'' ('''キ'''). This excludes Red's appearance in Generations II and IV, as he is not a player character during the games when he is an NPC. Inclusively, Lunick's Japanese name also ends in ''ki''.
