Kris was the first female playable character in any of the main Pokemon games. Unfortunately for her there's no legend. Gold and Silver - the star characters from Generation Two are loved and remembered. Their story has been told. Kris? Her story still has yet to be discovered. Feel free to answer as many or little paragraphs as you would like! :) This is more for the fun of it and isn't serious but it gets you to think about what could have been! Be super creative and have fuuunnn~

Do you think Kris has always lived in Johto?
What's her favourite Pokemon?
What does she go on to do after beating Red?
What's her main motivations? Does she like to collect Pokemon, battle, trade?
Does she ever meet up with Gold and Silver again?
Do you think she'll ever own Suicune?
Who do you think her father is? Where is he?

Discuss! Bring up your own thoughts on what you think Kris is really like. :)

For me, what you call "Gold's backstory" IS Kris' backstory. She defeated the 16 gyms, stopped Team Rocket, faced Suicune, and beat Red at Mt. Silver.

When you play as her in Crystal, she's the one who does all those things, while Gold doesn't exist at all. (Or, at best, merely exists as "Cal" in Viridian's Trainer House.)

True true, but Gold is remembered and Kris is forgotten! I think she should at least have a significant connection with Suicune whereas Gold with Ho-Oh.

For me I don't think she was born in Johto. I think she was born in a region far away and just only spent the last five or so years just hanging in New Bark Town, just waiting for her time to come - to find Suicune.
