Pokémon General Poll #31 - Favorite Pokémon Trainer



Lately we've been focusing on the Pokémon side of things, and while they're obviously very important to the series, so are the people behind it all. The trainers of these Pokémon have honed their skills, raised them with care, and become their masters, respected partners, and best friends. So, which trainer is your favorite of all the trainers? Keep in mind that the trainers can include trainers from the anime, manga, or games, so keep your mind open!

Thanks to shengar for this week's poll idea!

Video games: Hilbert; I like his design; May comes in close for prettiness.

Anime: Ash; I like his headstrong personality and how he cares for his Pokemon; Tobias comes in close for having a nearly unstoppable Darkrai.

Manga: Emerald; I felt sorry for him during his childhood.

Games: For me it is Barry. He is somewhat like me, very reckless and impatient atimportant things. Steven is a close candidate.

anime: Ash. He is really determined in his dreams (which after five regions he has not yet achieved).

manga; I don't know.

I don't watch the anime or read the manga so I'll just say it in general terms. :3
In no particular order:

Bianca is probably my favourite. She's cute and I like her style. As soon as I saw her in the beginning of White I thought, "oh my gosh she's cool." I am jealous of her hat. Also I like how she's the only rival that doesn't keep pursuing "Pokémon mastery" and actually forms a realistic goal. I think her character shows Pokémon training and being a "champion" is not for everyone and I like that.


N is just cool. He just is. Try to debate this and I will simply say "no you're wrong" because you would be if you tried to say N isn't cool.


I like Lance because he appeared in each generation. I grew up with him. :3 He was also my favourite supporting character in Gold because he was such an awesome help at defeating Team Rocket. He also gave me an HM and I'm always grateful whenever that happens. Oh and let's not forget DRAGON MASTER!!


Kris was the first girl character I got to play as in Pokémon, in fact I think she was the first female character I ever played as at all. Crystal was one of my favourite games and she was my favourite character to play as at the time. She's very special to me. <3


Cynthia is probably my favourite champion. I like that she's the only female champion and that she has a variety of Pokémon rather than focusing on one single type. I also like her battle music and the Pokémon she used. Some of the Pokémon she uses in her champion battle are some of my favourites to this day. I also think she's very beautiful and the little weird things hanging from her hair remind me of Umbreon, one of my favourite Pokémon. <3 She also has a really cool involvement in the story, just like Lance. So many things to like. n_n


I usually try to pick just one, but I don't feel like it this time. I prefer to leave it at this. :)

The only trainers that I've thought have had a modicum of personality are actually Jesse and James from the anime. I can't remember anything about Brock or Misty or Ash or whatever, but I can remember the Team Rocket intro theme nearly word-for-word, as well as most of their Pokemon up to when I stopped watching (Arbok, Weezing, Victreebel, Wobbuffet, Meowth etc.) They've obviously made more of an impact on me, so they get my vote almost by default.

Red from Pokemon Special would have to be my general favorite, between all the trainers from either the manga, game, or anime. Of course, people who've known me for a while would already know this, ahah! But, he's amazing, and even though it doesn't show, he's still one of my top favorite males protagonists in general.

There are other trainers that I really like as well but uh... Red. :'D

I don't really have a preference, but if I was to chose, it'd be Red. I like his design, and the fact he doesn't speak make me love him even more

Leaf. She's cute, she's tough, and she's definitely underappreciated, since a certain other, male, trainer keeps stealing her glory again and again (I still don't understand that n00b's popularity) ... she definitely needs more love, especially from the ones who created her in the first place. But yeah, Leaf is the ultimate trainer, and puts all others to shame with her awesomeness.

Other notable trainers include Giovanni, Blaine, Lorelei, Jasmine, Cipher Admin Ein, and Miror B.

As for the anime, maybe some of the cuter "characters of the day?" Because the main cast has always gotten on my nerves.

But yeah, Leaf-chan for the win! (Of course you were probably expecting me to say her lol)

I've always had a soft spot for Cynthia since her first appearance in D/P. She has a calm vibe about her, she has fantastic hair and a cool outfit. As a champion, I've always found her to be one of the most toughest, especially with that darn Garchomp, on top of that the only female champion (besides the player), so yay for that.
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

Games: It would have to be Red because he seems so pro' in the games and N is pretty cool too.

Manga: Always will be to me, Blue/Leaf because she's like a character I would look up to or try to be like.

Anime: Gary because he makes a really good rival.

Games: Red. He's a BAMF. Also N.

Manga: Damn, that's really hard to decide. There are so many awesome characters there. I'd have to say either Gold, Ruby, or Blue (girl).

Anime: Well, most of the characters from that show just annoy me. If I had to pick, I'd say Gary.

Games: I like Touko, actually. Dat ass I mean, she's cute. >_> And I like how she's a bit older than all the ten-year-olds.

Anime: May. I have no idea why, but I really liked her better than Dawn or Misty, though the former has been growing on me somewhat lately. I'll never get over Jenness' voice, though. And Iris and Dent in the new series, of course - two of my favourite voice actors, and they're neat characters too, although it took me a while to get used to Iris.
In terms of rivals, I liked . . . huh. I never really liked any of Ash's rivals. Paul was okay, but on the whole, eh. And Shootie's kinda pointless imo.

Manga: Blue all the way! Or as some of you might know her, Green. Dammit, Chuang Yi. I'm talking about the girl who stole Squirtle and then just generally rampaging around causing mayhem and mischief. She was amazing. I quite liked Platinum Berlitz too, though.

Overall? Hmm . . . Cilan/Dent. Gracious me.

Game: Red, he's strong, and in some fanarts he's so badass :pink_boogie: Then I really appreciate Gold, 'coz I really began to love Pokémon with Silver version, and this main trainer offered me a lot of adventures.

Anime: May, I always liked this girl, without any reasons especially. Then James, he's so funny :pink_tongue:

Manga: I don't really have opinion, after all I'm just at the 7th Volume (1st generation). So for the moment I would say Green, her personnality is simply great. That changes from the other trainers, for sure.

Game: Oh I love Cynthia. Garchomp is a tough cookie and I liked that she was the next Champion after Blue to have a versatile team. I also like Brendan. I liked his hat for some reason.

Manga: Blue/Green, the male. No specific reasons I guess.

Anime: Paul, because if I was a trainer, I'd be like that, no lie. Well, at least that's what I do in the games. Bad species, released. Bad nature, released. Bad IV's, released. Besides, he's Ash's foil and I loved that fact.

Games - N, he's one of the most interesting characters I've ever seen in a Pokemon game although Silver comes in at a very close second.
Anime - James, always found him to be less annoying than most of the cast and his backstory is pretty cool too.
Manga - Silver, one of the darker characters in the series and easily stands out as my personal favorite.

Not all that much I can say about them other than I simply like their character in general.
