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.

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 Aqua^SEAS/Team Magma^REOR and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the Battle Frontier^E.

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.

Both of Brendan's parents appear in the video games, his father Professor Birch and an unnamed mother. In Pokémon Emerald, he also has a younger brother who also lacks a known name. He is neighbors with the player character and their family.

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.

Brendan's only appearances in the main series are small cameos in the opening sequences of movies, specifically Jirachi: Wish Maker, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, and 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. 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.

Pokémon

Shiftry

Debut	Jirachi: Wish Maker

Brendan's Shiftry was only briefly seen in a Double Battle at the beginning of the sixth movie alongside Aggron, against a Solrock and Manectric. During the battle, Shiftry was hit by the Manectric's Spark. Shiftry is kept within a Repeat Ball.

Shiftry's only known move is Bullet Seed.

Brendan in Pokémon Generations

Brendan appeared in The Vision, where he was first seen battling several Team Magma Grunts with his Sceptile while infiltrating the Team Magma Hideout, before running into Courtney.

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.

Sceptile

Debut	The Vision

Sceptile is Brendan's only known Pokémon, possibly his first partner Pokémon. It was used to infiltrate and fight off Team Magma Grunts and Courtney in the Team Magma Hideout.

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.
