'''Reggie''' (Japanese: '''レイジ''' ''Reiji'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} from [[Veilstone City]] and [[Paul]]'s older brother.


==History==
==History==
===Pre-series===
At some point, Reggie was a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who ultimately earned eight Badges from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. He also challenged the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and won six of the seven Frontier [[Symbol]]s. As revealed in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'', he decided to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after failing to get the Brave Symbol and being told by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} that he lacked a unique {{pkmn|battle}} strategy.
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===

[[File:Younger Reggie.png|thumb|left|250px|Reggie in his battle with {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}]]
Reggie first appeared in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. During this meeting, he and Ash battled in a three-on-three match; although {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} lost to his {{p|Swalot}}, {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} successfully defeated his {{p|Bibarel}} and {{p|Staraptor}} respectively.  
Reggie debuted in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. During this meeting, he and {{Ash}} competed in a three-on-three match; although [[Ash's Staravia]] lost to his {{p|Swalot}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} successfully defeated his {{p|Bibarel}} and {{p|Staraptor}} respectively.


Reggie has earned the 8 Badges from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]. He has also challenged the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and won six of the seven Frontier [[Symbol]]s. He decided to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|breeder}} after failing to get the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]], as revealed in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]''. Unlike his younger brother, he treats his Pokémon with love and care and thanks them after working hard in a battle. This difference was also noted by [[Zoey]] who said that Paul and Reggie seemed like complete opposites.
In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Reggie and his {{p|Staraptor}} helped Ash's Staravia learn {{m|Brave Bird}}. He also watched the battle between {{an|Dawn}} and [[Maylene]] at the [[Veilstone Gym]]. In ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', he used [[Paul's Electabuzz]] to help Ash defend the meteorites from [[Team Galactic]].


In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Reggie and his {{p|Staraptor}} helped {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} to learn {{m|Brave Bird}}. He appeared again in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' where he used [[Paul's Electivire|Paul's Electabuzz]] to help Ash fight [[Team Galactic]].
He appeared in a cameo in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''. He later physically appeared in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where he watched his brother's battle against Brandon. Reggie's past as a Trainer was revealed, along with Paul's subsequent desire to become stronger.
[[File:Reggie and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Reggie and Paul]]
In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Reggie traveled to [[Lake Acuity]] to watch the [[Full Battle]] between {{Ash}} and [[Paul]], which was suggested by him at the end of ''A Pyramiding Rage!'' as a means of seeing how far the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s had developed. He was revealed to have called [[battle judge]] [[Olivier]] to preside over the battle.


He made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''. He also appeared in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where he watched his brother's battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. In this episode Reggie's loss against Brandon, which was being watched by Paul, was shown in a flashback. Back then he was told by Brandon that he lacked a unique battle strategy which is why he gave up on being a Pokémon Trainer. This incident is what caused Paul to be more focused on a Pokémon's strength than anything else.
In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Reggie explained that work was keeping him from attending the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], though he watched the event on [[television]]. After discussing Paul's Pokémon lineup and what he learned as a result of meeting Ash, Reggie encouraged his brother to win. Later, after Paul lost, Reggie informed both his own Pokémon and Paul's, but commented the battle had only made Paul stronger. He then suggested a battle to Paul once he returned home.
 
Reggie reappeared in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'' to watch the battle between {{Ash}} and [[Paul]], which was suggested by him at the end of ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' to see how far the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s have developed.

After discussing Paul's Pokémon line-up and what he had learned as a result from meeting Ash, Reggie encouraged his brother to win. After that, he was seen watching the battle on television between Paul and Ash.


==Character==
==Character==
Reggie seems to have the same attitude towards Pokémon as Ash, which is very surprising seeing as that he is the older brother of [[Paul]]. He has become friends with Ash and {{ashfr}}. Several people have noted that Reggie and Paul are as different as Ash and Paul are.
Following his loss to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, Reggie became a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} to channel his skills with Pokémon. Unlike Paul, the loss left Reggie with an insight into true strength, along with a calm and optimistic nature. Despite his retirement from {{pkmn|training}} Pokémon, Reggie remains a strong competitor, as witnessed in his match against Ash in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. He suggests strategies to Paul and even raises his younger brother's Pokémon.

Reggie (Japanese: レイジ Reiji) is a recurring character who appeared in the Pokémon anime. He is a Pokémon Breeder from Veilstone City and Paul's older brother.

History

Pre-series

At some point, Reggie was a Pokémon Trainer who ultimately earned eight Badges from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. He also challenged the Battle Frontier and won six of the seven Frontier Symbols. As revealed in Aiding the Enemy, he decided to become a Pokémon Breeder after failing to get the Brave Symbol and being told by Brandon that he lacked a unique battle strategy.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Reggie in his battle with Brandon

Reggie debuted in Lost Leader Strategy!. During this meeting, he and Ash competed in a three-on-three match; although Ash's Staravia lost to his Swalot, Turtwig and Pikachu successfully defeated his Bibarel and Staraptor respectively.

In Crossing the Battle Line!, Reggie and his Staraptor helped Ash's Staravia learn Brave Bird. He also watched the battle between Dawn and Maylene at the Veilstone Gym. In Enter Galactic!, he used Paul's Electabuzz to help Ash defend the meteorites from Team Galactic.

He appeared in a cameo in Saving the World From Ruins!. He later physically appeared in A Pyramiding Rage!, where he watched his brother's battle against Brandon. Reggie's past as a Trainer was revealed, along with Paul's subsequent desire to become stronger.

Reggie and Paul

In Pedal to the Mettle! and Evolving Strategies!, Reggie traveled to Lake Acuity to watch the Full Battle between Ash and Paul, which was suggested by him at the end of A Pyramiding Rage! as a means of seeing how far the two Trainers had developed. He was revealed to have called battle judge Olivier to preside over the battle.

In Familiarity Breeds Strategy!, Reggie explained that work was keeping him from attending the Lily of the Valley Conference, though he watched the event on television. After discussing Paul's Pokémon lineup and what he learned as a result of meeting Ash, Reggie encouraged his brother to win. Later, after Paul lost, Reggie informed both his own Pokémon and Paul's, but commented the battle had only made Paul stronger. He then suggested a battle to Paul once he returned home.

Character

Following his loss to Brandon, Reggie became a Pokémon Breeder to channel his skills with Pokémon. Unlike Paul, the loss left Reggie with an insight into true strength, along with a calm and optimistic nature. Despite his retirement from training Pokémon, Reggie remains a strong competitor, as witnessed in his match against Ash in Lost Leader Strategy!. He suggests strategies to Paul and even raises his younger brother's Pokémon.
