Brendan (Japanese: ユウキ Yūki) serves as the rival in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, if the player choose to play as the female character. He is also the male choice in the games, but Brendan is never among the default names for the character.

The Generation III games broke from the tradition of naming characters as their respective game colors, such as Red in the Generation I and Generation II games. As such, Brendan's counterpart is Ruby in the Pokémon Special manga. Rald, one of Brendan's default Japanese names, is used in the manga Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier.

In the anime

Brendan and his Swampert

Brendan's only anime appearances are small cameos in the opening of Jirachi: Wish Maker, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea and Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Like in the games, he has the starter Pokémon that weakens May's. It is unknown if his relatives are the same as that of the games, where, as May is Norman's daughter (as the player is), Brendan would be Professor Birch's son. Brendan seems to be a competitive battler, as his cameos suggest he spends time in Battle Towers.

In his third appearance he was seen battling another main protagonist of the games: Lucas. He was still wearing the same outfit as his first appearance.

In the TFG

Brendan appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, Next Quest, of the Pokémon Trading Figure Game.

Trivia

  • The English default names for Brendan include Landon in Ruby (as a reference to Groudon) and Sean in Sapphire (as a reference to Kyogre).
  • As the player, Brendan or his female counterpart May are native to the Johto region.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pikachu wears a headband similar to Brendan's hat on Emerald as an alternate costume. Also the Pokémon Trainer has an alternate costume with a similar color scheme as Brendan's Emerald outfit.
  • It is interesting to note that in the anime, Brendan's Shiftry was caught with a Repeat Ball meaning that he may have more than one Seedot or Nuzleaf. His Aggron was also caught with a Luxury Ball.
  • Brendan's appearance in the beginning of Giratina and the Sky Warrior battling Lucas may be a reference to their female counterparts May and Dawn battling in the final round of the Wallace Cup. Unlike May on her return, Brendan was still wearing his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.
  • Many confuse Brendan's hat as his actual hair. In fact, Brendan has black hair which has a similar style to Norman's (at least in the case of the manga). Apart from this, it can be determined by looking at his artwork for Emerald (see top of article), because he has black sideburns.
