He also serves as a [[rival]] in the same games if the player chooses to play as his female counterpart, {{ga|May}}.
 
==Terminology==
He is named '''Brendan''' (Japanese: '''ユウキ''' ''Yuuki'') when he appears as a [[non-player character]] in the [[Generation III]] games and their [[Generation VI]] remakes. He is also known by {{mas|Brendan|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
 
He is known as '''Orlando''' (Japanese: '''オメガ''' ''Omega'') in pre-release media for [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], including the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. He is named  '''ラルド''' (''Rald'') in some screenshots of {{game|Emerald}} on the Japanese Nintendo website.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/bpej/frontier2/index.html Pokémon Emerald on Nintendo] (Japanese)</ref>


==In the games==
==In the core series games==
===Role===
===As the protagonist===
If Brendan is selected as the player character he starts his journey moving from his home in Johto to his new home in the town of Littleroot in Hoenn. After saving Prof. Birch from a wild Pokémon, he is given one of the three starters of the Hoenn region. Brendan develops a close bond with {{ga|May}}, and eventually [[Wally]], who both act as his rivals. Brendan goes on to gather the eight Badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the Battle Frontier (in Emerald).

If Brendan is selected as the player character, he starts his {{pkmn|journey}} moving from his home in [[Johto]] to his new home in the town of {{to|Littleroot}} in [[Hoenn]]. After saving [[Professor Birch]] from a [[wild Pokémon]], he is given one of the three first partner Pokémon of the Hoenn [[region]]. Brendan develops a close bond with {{ga|May}}, and eventually [[Wally]], who both act as his rivals. Brendan goes on to gather the eight Badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}{{sup/3|E}}.


If Brendan is not selected as the player, he is helping his dad finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon Professor. He is also the player's rival and friend. Along with {{ga|May}} (when playing as Brendan), they are the only rivals unavailable for battle after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their [[starter Pokémon]] into its final form, except for in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where their starters have been fully evolved by the battle that takes place after the [[credits]].
===As a non-playable character===

If Brendan is not selected as the player, he is helping his father Birch finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon Professor. He is also the player's [[rival]] and friend. Along with May (when playing as Brendan), they are the only rivals unavailable for battle after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their first partner Pokémon into its final form, except for in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where their first partner Pokémon have been fully-evolved by the battle that takes place after the [[credits]].

;Littleroot Town
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
:''"<sc>Pokémon</sc> fully restored… Items all packed, and… Hey! You… Who are you? Oh, you're <{{player}}>, aren't you? Moved in next door, right? I didn't know that you're a girl. Dad, <sc>[[Professor Birch|Prof. Birch]]</sc>, said that our new next-door neighbor is a <sc>[[Gym Leader]]</sc>'s kid, so I assumed you'd be a guy. My name's <sc>Brendan</sc>. So, hi, neighbor! Huh? Hey, <player>, don't you have a <sc>Pokémon</sc>? Do you want me to go catch you one? Aw, darn, I forgot… I'm supposed to go help my dad catch some wild <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Some other time, okay?"''
{{main|Brendan (Masters)}}
Brendan, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Treecko}} and its evolved forms {{p|Grovyle}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, along with {{p|Latios}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Both his Sceptile and Latios are capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Brendan has been a playable sync pair since the game's release.


;{{rt|103|Hoenn}}
Brendan has also made notable appearances in the game's Main Stories: the [[PML Arc]], [[Legendary Adventures]], and the [[Villain Arc]].
:''"Okay, so it's this one and that one that live on <sc>Route 103</sc>…"''

:''"Huh, <player>, you're not too shabby."''
{{main|Style (GO)}}
For the start of Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn, Brendan's outfit from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} was released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].


* After battle
==Quotes==
:''"I think I get it. I think I see why my dad has his eye out for you now. Look, your <sc>Pokémon</sc> already likes you, even though you just got it. <player>, I get the feeling that you could befriend any <sc>Pokémon</sc> with ease. We should head back to the <sc>Lab</sc>.
{{main|Brendan (game)/Quotes}}


;[[Oldale Town]]
==Optional names==
:''"I'm heading back to my dad's <sc>Lab</sc> now. <player>, you should hustle back, too."''
In the game, two of the optional names—one in Ruby and one in Sapphire—refer to "land" and "sea" respectively. In the English version, these are '''Land'''on and '''Sea'''n; in the Japanese version, リクヤ '''''Riku'''ya'' and カイト '''''Kai'''to'' (陸 ''riku'' means land and 海 ''kai'' means sea). This is also the case in other languages. Additionally, in the English version, two of the shared names—Terry and Seth—seem to be influenced by the same theme.


;Professor Birch's lab
In Emerald, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, Professor Birch says "So it's <optional name>?", suggesting one of the 20 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.
:''"Huh… So you got a <sc>Pokédex</sc>, too. Well then, here. I'll give you this."''
:''"You know it's more fun to have a whole bunch of <sc>Pokémon</sc>. I'm going to explore all over the place to find different <sc>Pokémon</sc>. If I find any cool <sc>Pokémon</sc>, you bet I'll try to get them with <sc>Poké Balls</sc>."''

:''"I'd say you're good enough to search for <sc>Pokémon</sc> anywhere. Here, I'll give you this. Try it out."''
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Brendan. They are versions of Brendan with the same design, but with different colors. In all figures, Brendan uses his sweater and backpack from {{game|Emerald}}, and his pants and shoes from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
:''"Use {{m|Fly}}, and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> instantly carries you to any town you've already visited. But you need the <sc>[[Fortree Gym|Fortree Gym Badge]]</sc> to do that. Anyway, I have to move along.''"

* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Landon|41}} (Japanese: リクヤ ''Rikuya'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, wearing clothes with the color palette from Ruby and Sapphire.
::'''Yes''': ''"Aww, but you know I'm not going to lose to no <player>."''
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Sean|41}} (Japanese: カイト ''Kaito''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, wearing clothes with the color palette from Emerald.
::'''No''': ''"Oh, what's the matter? Don't have the confidence?"''

The Brendan figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Landon and Sean figures were not released either.

{{incomplete|section|needs=Missing quotes of Brendan answering match calls}}

Brendan's only appearances in the main series are small cameos in the opening sequences of {{pkmn|movie}}s, specifically ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. He is shown to spend time in [[Battle Tower]]s. In all of his appearances, he has appeared with his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.

Brendan appeared in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]'', where he was first seen battling several {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s with his {{p|Sceptile}} while infiltrating the [[Team Magma Hideout]], before running into [[Courtney]]. She then challenged him to a battle with her {{p|Camerupt}} just as [[Maxie]] and the rest of Team Magma headed for the [[Seafloor Cavern]] aboard [[Submarine Explorer 1]].


* After battle
Much like the other [[player character]]s depicted in [[Pokémon Generations]], Brendan doesn't have any lines of dialogue.

Brendan appeared in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]], where he was first seen sleeping in his house in [[Littleroot Town]]. A {{p|Treecko}} comes by and wakes him up. He then runs to {{ga|May}}'s house as the [[first partner Pokémon]] were playing with one another. Brendan encountered a {{tc|Youngster}} and battled his {{p|Zigzagoon}} with {{p|Treecko}}.


;Lilycove City
Later, sometime after his Treecko evolved all the way up into Sceptile, Brendan battled {{Steven}} and his {{TP|Steven|Mega Metagross|Metagross}}. Brendan then [[soaring in the sky|soared in the sky]] with his Mega {{p|Latios}} alongside May and her Mega {{p|Latias}}.

It can tell you lots about the Pokémon living in each area and that kind of stuff. It's a handy app to have if you're trying to catch lots of different Pokémon. Guess it's about time I use the DexNav to do a little more catching myself! I'm gonna head that way and see what I find. <player>, you should use those Poké Balls I gave you earlier to do a bit of catching, too!"''

:''"Thank you, Professor."''
:''"Now that that's over with… What're you planning to do next, <player>? I'm thinking of going for my next Gym Badge. The one from Mauville City. Wanna make the trip together, <player>? To Mauville, that is."''
::'''Yes:''' ''"Cool. Let's go then."''
::'''No:'''
 
;Route 114
:''"You guys are— Where are you taking the professor?! H-hey! Stop right there!"''
 
;Meteor Falls
:''"Hey! You jerks! Let Professor Cozmo go!"''
:''"<player>! You finally made it, huh! We've gotta protect the professor from these lunatics or else! There's two of them… And two of us, huh? Sorry to ask, <player>, but… Battle alongside me!"''
::'''Yes:''' ''"Thanks, pal!"''
::'''No:''' ''"So even you get nervous, huh… I get it. I'll wait till you get ready."''
 
*Before battle
:''"All right! Let's do this!"''
 
*After battle
:''"All right! We beat 'em!"''
:''"Who's that?!"''
:''"Professor!"''
:''"Oh man… What's with those lunatics? Forget those guys! Professor! Hey! Professor Cozmo! Hang in there, OK?"''
:''"I think he's still pretty out of it… <player>… Never mind what's happened! I've got to get the professor back to his lab in Fallarbor! OK, Professor… Easy now…"''
 
;Mauville City
:''"All right, made it to Mauville City. Up ahead here is <span style="color:#00aeef">Mt. Chimney</span>, huh? That's the place those nut jobs at Meteor Falls were talking about going to. Be careful, <player>. It might get dangerous around here."''
 
;Lavaridge Town
:''"<player>, hey! So you were all right, huh? Oh, well, you know… The last time I saw you, you were mixed up with those "Team Whatsit" people… So I just wondered if you'd gotten back on the road after that. It was, like, I don't know… I guess I was a bit…worried? What? You battled them AGAIN after that? And you even managed to beat them? You really are something else, <player>… You and your Pokémon. Your team. And that…that sparkle there… Is that the Meteorite you got back from them? …Oh, right! I forgot to give you [[Go-Goggles|these]] before."''
:''"Keep those with you if you're planning on going into that desert near Route 111. There should be some Pokémon that only make their habitat in the desert, you know. You might check 'em out—if you're up to it. And… Huh? You got the Lavaridge Badge! So you even beat [[Flannery]], huh? Looks like you've been taking proper care of your Pokémon. Guess that means…that you'll be headed to Petalburg City next, huh? To challenge your dad at his Gym? W-well, if you are… I just happened to be thinking of going to Petalburg myself, so… How about it? Wanna go back to Petalburg together?
::'''Yes:''' ''"Y-yeah? Then let's hit it!"''
::'''No:'''
 
;Petalburg City
:''"So we're here. Petalburg City. <player>, you do your best with the Gym. I'm behind you all the way. See ya!"''
 
;Route 119
*Before battle
:''"<player>! You've been looking for Pokémon here? Huh? That bracelet you've got on… It's like, I don't know, really cool… … Whoa. So that's the Mega Bracelet? And you can use it for [[Mega Evolution]]… So you'll just keep getting closer to your Pokémon and getting even stronger… All right, then. I guess I've just gotta help you test how strong you've become, huh? Show me in battle how much better you've gotten! Come on! A battle! I'm challenging you to a battle!"''
 
*Being defeated
:''"Sheesh, <player>… You've gotten pretty darn decent."''
 
*After being defeated
:''"I'd say you're good enough to search for Pokémon anywhere by now. Here, I'll give you this, so try it out. You should be able to use it fine."''
:''"With {{m|Fly}}, your Pokémon can carry you back to just about anyplace you've visited before. Of course, you'll need the Fortree Gym Badge first, though… Well, I'm going on ahead. But I'm definitely winning next time!"''
 
;Lilycove City
*Before battle
:''"Hm? Hey, if it isn't <player>! Did you come to do some shopping, too? You know what I'm talking about… The Lilycove Department Store! My dad asked me to pick him up a few things here. It's not like I'm here to buy Dolls or something, r-right! A-anyway, it feels like it's been ages since we last ran into each other. How about I battle you so you can see which one of us is doing a better job raising our Pokémon? Though I think you and I both know who the winner is gonna be, <player>!"''
 
*Being defeated
:''"Hmm… You've raised your team quite a bit."''
 
*After being defeated
:''"Boy, that stings a bit… I had a head start on you as a Pokémon Trainer, but still… I, uh… I'm planning on going home to Littleroot. You know how I've been helping out my dad with the Pokédex, and it's been coming together pretty decently. So…I ought to go back home and show it to him. <player>, what are you gonna do? You still thinking of collecting all the Gym Badges and taking on the Pokémon League challenge?"''
:'''Yes:''' ''"Yeah? I guess I'm not surprised. Do your best. You know I'm behind you."''
:'''No:''' ''"Huh? Really? I've gotta say, I always kind of thought that you'd go all the way and aim to be Champion.''"
:''"…Uhhh. Huh? Did you… <player>, I think there's something… There's something, like, sparkling in your [[Bag]]… It's the same kinda light as that Meteorite had, the one you showed me in Lavaridge… Ahhh, never mind! Just… Good luck out there!"''
 
;Sootopolis City
:''"<player>! When I saw the news about Sootopolis on my BuzzNav, and there you were, <player>… Well, anyway, all I could think of was coming to help! You don't know how glad I am to see that you're still in one piece. Bwuh?! Is that Team Aqua? And Team Magma?! OK, I don't really know what to say right now—I'm kind of dumbfounded. Look, I get that this is probably something way bigger than I've ever imagined. So, I won't bother with any questions now. I'm gonna find out what I should do to help, and then I'm going to do whatever I can. You'd better go do the same, <player>. I'll always be right there behind you. You're my best friend, after all!"''
 
*If talked to again
:''"I'm gonna find out what I should do to help, and then I'm going to do whatever I can. You'd better go do the same, <player>. And I'll always be right there behind you. A-after all…we're friends, right?"''
 
*After having defeated/captured Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}
:''"<player>! So it's all over…"''
:''"Phew! It feels like we can finally relax, huh? I guess that now's the time to say thanks for all you've done, <player>. You know, we set out from Littleroot at the same time, but… It seems like you're just dashing ahead by yourself and leaving me behind… I feel like we're not even on the same level anymore, you know? … It's kinda lonely thinking like that… Or it would be if I really thought that! But…well, you did do something pretty amazing. So take it easy for a while, OK, friend? Later!"''
 
;Pokémon League
:''"<player>! Before you go to challenge the Champion, I've got one last thing you've got to… <player>… You didn't… No, you couldn't have… Did you already beat the Champion?!"''
:''"Wha— … Can't be helped, I guess. Them's the rules, right? That's awesome, <player>. Congratulations…really!"''
 
*After having entered the Hall of Fame
:''"Welcome back, <player>. I just, uh, you know… We set out on this journey together, right? So maybe we should finish it together, too. D-don't go trying to read anything into it, though! Now, come on! We're going home! Back to Littleroot Town!"''
 
;Route 103 (post-game, after credits)
:''"Man, this is nostalgic. Back on Route 103, huh? Remember that pond over there? This is where we battled the first time, huh? Hey, <player>… Do me a favor? Come on! Let's battle one more time! I wanna know about what you saw on your journey, how you felt, and what you experienced out there. I want to know all about you and your Pokémon, <player>. But that's not all… I want you to know all about me and mine!"''
 
*After being defeated
:''"… Thanks, <player>! Just what I'd expect from a Champion! Getting to meet so many different people… And so many different Pokémon… It's like… I don't know… It's been really, really fun! Oh! <player>! Look there!"''
 
;Battle Maison
*When selected for the [[Multi Battle]] challenge
:''"When it's you and me, <player>, I feel like we can both show off our best sides! Let's do it!"''
 
*After ending the Multi Battle challenge
:''"Ah. Right. That's too bad, but maybe next time!"''
 
*After 20 consecutive wins at the Multi Battle challenge
:''"When I'm battling with you, <player>, I feel like I could beat absolutely anyone! Let's totally do it again sometime!"''
 
*After losing the Multi Battle challenge
:''"Hmm… We didn't seem to have it together this time… Oh well! We'll have to try harder next time!"''
 
=====[[Delta Episode]]=====
;Littleroot Town
*At the start
:''"Ughhh…"''
:''"It's not that big of a deal, Mom. She just knocked me down a bit… Yowch! That stings! … Oh! H-hey, <player>! Looks like she didn't get you, huh? That's a relief. Everything happened so fast that I couldn't do a thing, but… Some [[Zinnia|strange woman]] came in my window, upstairs… And then she… She stole my [[Key Stone]]… I tried to fight her off with my team, but… She was unstoppable… I didn't stand a chance… I think I heard her muttering under her breath when she left, though… Something like "<span style="color:#00aeef">Petalburg's next</span>…" …You be careful, <player>."''
 
*At the end
:''"Well… Bye… … <player>! See you tomorrow!"''
 
;Mossdeep Space Center
:''"That was kinda awesome. Wow. So those are the {{p|Litleo}}nids. I'm really gonna have to thank your old man for this one. It's like…I don't know… I feel like I've been knocked flat on my back… …Thanks, <player>. I'm really glad I got to see this with you."''
:''"It's true what they say, though. Time really flies when you're having fun…"''

==Optional names==
==Trivia==
In the game, two of the optional names—one in Ruby and one in Sapphire—refer to "land" and "sea" respectively. In the English version, these are '''Land'''on and '''Sea'''n; in the Japanese version, リクヤ '''''Riku'''ya'' and カイト '''''Kai'''to'' (陸 ''riku'' means land and 海 ''kai'' means sea). This is also the case in other languages. Additionally, in the English version, two of the shared names—Terry and Seth—seem to be influenced by the same theme.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{SSB|Pikachu}} wears Brendan's headband from {{game|Emerald}} as an alternate costume. Also, the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} has an alternate costume with a similar color scheme as Brendan's Emerald outfit.
* He and {{ga|May}} are the only set of [[player character]]s who have a chance to speak with both a [[mother]] and a father in the {{pkmn|games}}.
* Before {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Brendan and May were the only rivals whose [[first partner Pokémon]] does not reach its final form.
* In the fandom, Brendan's [https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/40800048816209920 knit cap] has commonly been mistaken for white hair. Although largely obscured by his headwear, Brendan's actual hair is visible in most depictions, usually black in color.
* While the second battle with Brendan (or May if he is the player character) is optional, the encounter leading up to it is not.
** Therefore, after returning the [[Devon Goods]] before encountering Brendan or May in Rustboro City, if the player [[Black out|blacks out]] without ever visiting the [[Pokémon Center]] in Rustboro City (which causes the player character to rush to [[Petalburg City]]'s Pokémon Center instead), the encounter and optional battle take place in {{rt|104|Hoenn}} in front of [[Mr. Briney]]'s house instead.
* Similarly to May, Brendan's attire in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mainly based on his appearance in {{game|Emerald}}.

Brendan's only appearences in the main series are small cameos in the opening sequences of {{pkmn|movie}}s, specifically ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. He is shown to spend time in Battle Towers. In all of his appearances, he has appeared with his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.
 
Unlike in the games, he has never interacted with May, and it is unknown if he has ever met her, or even if his parents are the same as in the games, as neither [[Norman]] nor [[Professor Birch]] has mentioned him.

==Trivia==
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{SSB|Pikachu}} wears Brendan's Emerald headband as an alternate costume. Also, the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} has an alternate costume with a similar color scheme as Brendan's Emerald outfit.
* He and {{ga|May}} are the only set of player characters who have a chance to speak with both a mother and a father in the games.
* Brendan and May are the only rivals who can't be fought in rematches after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]].
** Before Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they were also the only rivals whose [[starter Pokémon]] does not reach its final form.
* In the fandom, Brendan's [https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/40800048816209920 knit cap] has commonly been mistaken for white hair. Although largely obscured by his headwear, Brendan's actual hair is visible in most depictions, usually black in color.
* Pre-release media for [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], including the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]], referred to Brendan as "Orlando" (Japanese: '''オメガ''' ''Omega'').

Brendan (Japanese: ユウキ Yuuki) is the male choice for the player character in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and their Generation VI remakes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. He also serves as a rival in the same games if the player chooses to play as his female counterpart, May.

Terminology

He is named Brendan (Japanese: ユウキ Yuuki) when he appears as a non-player character in the Generation III games and their Generation VI remakes. He is also known by the same name in Pokémon Masters EX.

He is known as Orlando (Japanese: オメガ Omega) in pre-release media for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, including the Special Demo Version. He is named ラルド (Rald) in some screenshots of Pokémon Emerald on the Japanese Nintendo website.[4]

In the core series games

As the protagonist

May and Brendan after the events of the game

If Brendan is selected as the player character, he starts his journey moving from his home in Johto to his new home in the town of Littleroot in Hoenn. After saving Professor Birch from a wild Pokémon, he is given one of the three first partner Pokémon of the Hoenn region. Brendan develops a close bond with May, and eventually Wally, who both act as his rivals. Brendan goes on to gather the eight Badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of Team AquaSEAS/Team MagmaREOR and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the Battle FrontierE.

As a non-playable character

Brendan as the rival

If Brendan is not selected as the player, he is helping his father Birch finish the Hoenn Pokédex and becoming a Pokémon Professor. He is also the player's rival and friend. Along with May (when playing as Brendan), they are the only rivals unavailable for battle after entering the Hall of Fame. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not evolve their first partner Pokémon into its final form, except for in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where their first partner Pokémon have been fully-evolved by the battle that takes place after the credits.

Main article: Brendan (Masters)

Brendan, who is based on the player character, forms a sync pair with Treecko and its evolved forms Grovyle and Sceptile, along with Latios in Pokémon Masters EX. Both his Sceptile and Latios are capable of Mega Evolving. Brendan has been a playable sync pair since the game's release.

Brendan has also made notable appearances in the game's Main Stories: the PML Arc, Legendary Adventures, and the Villain Arc.

Quotes

Main article: Brendan (game)/Quotes

Optional names

In the game, two of the optional names—one in Ruby and one in Sapphire—refer to "land" and "sea" respectively. In the English version, these are Landon and Sean; in the Japanese version, リクヤ Rikuya and カイト Kaito (陸 riku means land and 海 kai means sea). This is also the case in other languages. Additionally, in the English version, two of the shared names—Terry and Seth—seem to be influenced by the same theme.

In Emerald, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, Professor Birch says "So it's <optional name>?", suggesting one of the 20 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

In the TFG

There are three Trainer figures based on Brendan. They are versions of Brendan with the same design, but with different colors. In all figures, Brendan uses his sweater and backpack from Pokémon Emerald, and his pants and shoes from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

  • Brendan (Japanese: ユウキ Yūki) from Next Quest, wearing clothes with blue in place of the red or orange colors from the other figures.
  • Landon (Japanese: リクヤ Rikuya) from Groundbreakers, wearing clothes with the color palette from Ruby and Sapphire.
  • Sean (Japanese: カイト Kaito), from the Unnamed Third Set, wearing clothes with the color palette from Emerald.

The Brendan figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Landon and Sean figures were not released either.

She then challenged him to a battle with her Camerupt just as Maxie and the rest of Team Magma headed for the Seafloor Cavern aboard Submarine Explorer 1.

Much like the other player characters depicted in Pokémon Generations, Brendan doesn't have any lines of dialogue.

Later in The Scoop, a trainer was seen battling and catching Deoxys with Mega Rayquaza, although due to the trainers hidden face, it can't be 100% confirmed this was the same Brendan from The Vision.

Brendan in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer

Brendan appeared in the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer, where he was first seen sleeping in his house in Littleroot Town. A Treecko comes by and wakes him up. He then runs to May's house as the first partner Pokémon were playing with one another. Brendan encountered a Youngster and battled his Zigzagoon with Treecko.

Later, sometime after his Treecko evolved all the way up into Sceptile, Brendan battled Steven and his Mega Metagross. Brendan then soared in the sky with his Mega Latios alongside May and her Mega Latias.

Trivia

  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pikachu wears Brendan's headband from Pokémon Emerald as an alternate costume. Also, the Pokémon Trainer has an alternate costume with a similar color scheme as Brendan's Emerald outfit.
  • He and May are the only set of player characters who have a chance to speak with both a mother and a father in the games.
  • Before Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Brendan and May were the only rivals whose first partner Pokémon does not reach its final form.
  • In the fandom, Brendan's knit cap has commonly been mistaken for white hair. Although largely obscured by his headwear, Brendan's actual hair is visible in most depictions, usually black in color.
  • While the second battle with Brendan (or May if he is the player character) is optional, the encounter leading up to it is not.
    • Therefore, after returning the Devon Goods before encountering Brendan or May in Rustboro City, if the player blacks out without ever visiting the Pokémon Center in Rustboro City (which causes the player character to rush to Petalburg City's Pokémon Center instead), the encounter and optional battle take place in Route 104 in front of Mr. Briney's house instead.
  • Similarly to May, Brendan's attire in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mainly based on his appearance in Pokémon Emerald.
