Barry, like the {{player}}, lives in [[Twinleaf Town]] and is also the player's childhood friend (and soon-to-be [[rival]]). Barry is always in a hurry and extremely impatient, and because of this, often crashes into other people (usually demanding a fine from them) or misses important details.

After becoming the [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player can find him training at [[Stark Mountain]] during the week, and at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, ready to battle. Unlike the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}, Barry did not receive a Pokédex, due to him rushing out of [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab before Rowan could give him one.

His father is [[Palmer]], one of the Sinnoh {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}'s five [[Frontier Brain]]s. Barry wants to be like him, which is the reason he is so determined and trains hard. Barry is actually very much like his father characteristic-wise. Both he and Palmer are constantly in a hurry, running into people (including the player), and both seem to react the same way when they happen to run into people.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Barry can be encountered and fought at the {{si|Battle Tower}}. He teams up with his father in the [[Double Battle]] mode, revealing that he actually succeeded in defeating him.

In addition to his hyperactive personality, it is also shown that in the beginning of Platinum, he gets distracted very easily. In the events of Platinum, Barry suggests going to visit Professor Rowan at his lab rather than go to the lake in search of a Pokémon of the same rarity as a [[red Gyarados]] (as happened in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}). When Professor Rowan questions {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and Barry on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} about going into the [[tall grass]] without any Pokémon, deeming it reckless and wondering if such people were well-suited for Pokémon, Barry admits it was his idea and says that his friend should at least get a Pokémon if not him. After this, Professor Rowan gives them both Pokémon, much to Barry's excitement.

After the player completes the [[Stark Mountain]] sidequest, Barry can be found at the [[Survival Area]] every day, but can only be battled on weekends. He desires to get into the [[Battleground]], even asking for help from [[Crasher Wake]]. If the player enters the Hall of Fame 20 times, his levels strengthen into the 70s range.

Barry teams up with the player early on during the main story of [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His partner Pokémon is {{p|Piplup}}, which can be evolved into {{p|Prinplup}} and then {{p|Empoleon}}.
Barry, in his {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} design, forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Piplup}} and its evolved forms {{p|Prinplup}} and {{p|Empoleon}}, along with {{p|Roserade}}, {{p|Heracross}}, and {{p|Floatzel}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Heracross is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Barry became a playable sync pair since the game's release, with him joining the {{player}} after completing the second chapter of the [[PML Arc]].  
 
Barry has also made notable appearances in the game's Main Stories, the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]].

* Barry possesses the highest-level Pokémon amongst all the [[rival]] characters, with his {{pkmn2|starter}} being able to grow up to level 85 in Pokémon Platinum. The only [[Non-player character|NPC]]-owned Pokémon outside of a [[battle facility]] that outlevel Barry's starter at its strongest are {{ga|Red}}'s level 88 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and [[Cynthia]]'s level 88 {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* In the code of Pokémon Platinum, there exists a variation of Barry's [[Survival Area]] [[party|team]] that's 10 [[level]]s higher than his initial weekend battle team, but it is completely inaccessible through normal gameplay.

Barry (Japanese: ジュン Jun) is the rival character in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and their Generation VIII remakes Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

In the core series games

Role

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl

Barry, like the player, lives in Twinleaf Town and is also the player's childhood friend (and soon-to-be rival). Barry is always in a hurry and extremely impatient, and because of this, often crashes into other people (usually demanding a fine from them) or misses important details.

Barry is incredibly determined and it is very difficult to discourage him; the only thing that has done this so far was his crushing loss to the Team Galactic Commander, Jupiter at Lake Acuity, although this defeat lead to a major positive change in Barry's character, causing him to become slightly more serious, realistic, and mature. He is also quite the braggart, often boasting about his battling prowess or how cool his Pokémon are. Barry does have a soft side, however, as seen after the wild Starly attack.

Barry is also one to take risks and quickly jump into action; it was this behavior that caused the player and himself to be attacked by wild Starly, setting off the chain reaction that would result in the player receiving their first Pokémon.

After becoming the Sinnoh League Champion, the player can find him training at Stark Mountain during the week, and at the Fight Area on weekends, ready to battle. Unlike the player and Lucas/Dawn, Barry did not receive a Pokédex, due to him rushing out of Professor Rowan's lab before Rowan could give him one.

Barry's father is Palmer, one of the Sinnoh Battle Frontier's five Frontier Brains. Barry wants to be like him, which is the reason he is so determined and trains hard. Barry is actually very much like his father characteristic-wise. Both he and Palmer are constantly in a hurry, running into people (including the player), and both seem to react the same way when they happen to run into people.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Barry can be encountered and fought at the Battle Tower. He teams up with his father in the Double Battle mode, revealing that he actually succeeded in defeating him.

Pokémon Platinum

In addition to his hyperactive personality, it is also shown that in the beginning of Platinum, he gets distracted very easily. In the events of Platinum, Barry suggests going to visit Professor Rowan at his lab rather than go to the lake in search of a Pokémon of the same rarity as a red Gyarados (as happened in Diamond and Pearl). When Professor Rowan questions Lucas/Dawn and Barry on Route 201 about going into the tall grass without any Pokémon, deeming it reckless and wondering if such people were well-suited for Pokémon, Barry admits it was his idea and says that his friend should at least get a Pokémon if not him. After this, Professor Rowan gives them both Pokémon, much to Barry's excitement.

After the player completes the Stark Mountain sidequest, Barry can be found at the Survival Area every day, but can only be battled on weekends. He desires to get into the Battleground, even asking for help from Crasher Wake. If the player enters the Hall of Fame 20 times, his team's levels increase by 20.

Pokémon

Barry's first partner Pokémon depends on the player's choice (he will choose the one that is strong against the player's), and the remainder of his team will be filled out based on this choice.

Trivia

  • Barry has achieved a high score of 2,000 at Pal Park, which serves as the default high score.
  • Among the default names for Barry in the Japanese version of Pokémon Diamond is Shigeru, one of the default names in both Pokémon Red and Pokémon FireRed for Blue. "Gary" is also one of the optional names for him in the German and Italian versions of Pokémon Diamond. Gary's Korean name, 바람 Baram, is among the optional names for him in the Korean version.
  • All Japanese default names for Barry come from game staff members' first names, all of whom are listed in the game's credits. Jun is from Junichi Masuda, production director and music composer. Shigeru is from Shigeru Ōmori, game design leader. Kōji is from Kōji Nishino, a game designer. Toshinobu is from Toshinobu Matsumiya, game scenario author. Hisashi is from Hisashi Sogabe, battle system programmer. Sōsuke is from Sōsuke Tamada, field system programmer. Akito is from Akito Mori, communication system programmer. Nozomu is from Nozomu Saito, also one of the programmers.
  • Although Barry can only be battled on weekends, if the player saves the game in front of him on a Sunday in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, he can still be battled on weekdays if the player does not leave the Fight Area during the periods of time in between. This was corrected in Pokémon Platinum.
  • Barry has an orange Pokétch, but an old lady in Oreburgh City states that blue and pink are the only colors that are produced by the Pokétch Company.
  • In the code of Pokémon Platinum, there exists a variation of Barry's Survival Area team that's 10 levels higher than his initial weekend battle team, but it is completely inaccessible through normal gameplay. The levels of this team approximately match Barry's weekend battle team from Diamond and Pearl once the player has entered the Hall of Fame 10 times. This battle also features pieces of dialogue from Barry that go unused as well due to the battle's inaccessibility. The reason behind this battle's inaccessibility is unknown. Due to it being unused, Barry's Survival Area team is only upgraded following 20 Hall of Fame entries, which increases its levels by 20.[5]
  • Barry possesses the highest-level Pokémon amongst all the rival characters in the core series games, with his first partner Pokémon being able to grow up to level 85 in Pokémon Platinum. The only NPC-owned Pokémon outside of a battle facility that outlevel Barry's first partner Pokémon at its strongest are Red's level 88 Pikachu in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and several of Cynthia's Pokémon in her second rematch team in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
  • In Pokémon Masters EX, Barry reveals that he keeps trying to fine people because he wants to gather money for his own Battle Tower so he could challenge his father there.
  • A trailer for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl refers to Barry as "Jun", his Japanese official name.
  • In the game data of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, Barry's default name is internally "Cedric".
