All time favorite pokemon character!

[𒈟Lavemu𒐫]

Out of all the pokemon trainers, which is your favorite?

Mine is Kiawe, I loved his trial! and all his appearances in the anime were always really funny, lol

 

[PoryKid575]

Blue from RBY is my favorite. It's really cool how he's built up throughout the entire game before you face him as champion.

 

[Devalue]

Probably Arven from Scarlet/Violet. Clarifies something on this. Chooses Arven for being the most interesting, not the most likeable. Starts off pretty bad. Learned more about his situation. Understood why he reacted like that. Felt like a very real character.

Appreciated the bond between Mabosstiff and Arven too. Talks about a bond between trainer and Pokemon throughout the games. How often do you see people and Pokemon interacting outside of battle in the main games, though? Thinks of Lillie and Nebby, Leon and Charizard, and maybe Yamper and Sonia. Cannot recall N and Zorua interacting at all (as someone who played Black over a decade ago and not Black 2/White 2). Discovered some information about Gladion and Type: Null, but mostly with neither present. Liked Arven and Mabossiff for capturing that bond well. Argues that to be the real essence of Pokemon's story, more so than the battles and catching them all. (Views the battles and Pokedex completion as the grease for the wheels.)

 

[ReKoil]

Steven Stone is the only one to come to mind for me atm that really stands out in a good way. I like his design and I like his team.

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

Probably Roy (Barry) from Platinum. Not sure how I'd feel about him if it wasn't for the character RP I was doing for that run, but I still remember it fondly!
Don't really care much about the characters in Pokemon games in general though.

 

[Charcadet121]

I like Mela, from Scarlet/Violet. Very relatable past (I was bullied a lot growing up), similar personalities, and generally same attitude. Though I have to say that I don't understand style, it still is a cool thing to love fire types. 🔥

 

[Sheep]

Out of the girls, Lillie. I absolutely adore her design and her personality is just so sweet too. The anime made me love her even more. <3

From the boys it's kind of hard to decide, I adore Ilima, N, Cheren, Cilan, Volo... like how do I pick?? Lillie is my #1 so it's an easy choice there but for the boys I feel like a lot more of them on the same level. Gotten pretty attached to Arven too.

 

[miragespot]

If side game Pokemon characters count, then Grovyle from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky.

 

[_confused_piplup_]

Cynthia, because she's just iconic. She can be iconic because she has personality. Incredible character in the original games, it's also good she is often found in other generations too. She has one of the best designs indeed. The second is indeed N.

 

[Hibiscus]

Him!!!!!!!! ❤️

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Leaf from FR/LG. Such a classic, timeless character design :)

 

[Fact Checking Gardevoir]

Favourite character for me : Not in an official game but a fan game, and not a human character but a Pokémon character, with dialogues, involved in story plot, personality, ... :
Gossip Gardevoir!

Spoiler:

 

[Delta Crowned Sword]

For Male Character

Ash Ketchum. He is the first person who always comes to mind when thinking of Pokemon. He is such an iconic person who carried the franchise to the fame which it had gathered. And personally for me, I remember watching him when I came back from school, and the show used to air on TV, hence my all Pokemon experience had started due to him. I remember that I used to use lines when sending/switching Pokemon like him while playing the games during the new-new Pokemon experience.

Sadly I hadn't watched any episodes of Pokemon after the end of Sinnoh......





For Female Character

No one comes to the mind, at the moment, because my Pokemon journey was all along seeing Ash Ketchum, hence didn't payed attention to anyone else that much !!


For Pokemon

Giratina-O. I had always enjoyed the Distortion World puzzles, and also feel that it was left very much unexplored in terms of potential. And that sort of puzzles are very much interesting to me.

 

[KOZSTAR]

Saturn from DPPT. One of the Galactic Commanders, but a lot less shallow than Mars or Jupiter, and more deep, determined, and intelligent. Might be biased cause Bronzong and Toxicroak are two of my favourite mons. Honourable mentions goes to Elesa and Brycen, two gym leaders from my generation. I love Elesa's lack of an ego despite her status and how surprisingly canny she is on certain things (as shown when she's speaking to Bianca's dad) and Brycen manages to stay involved in the second game through an underrated side plot, having his own backstory with it.

 

[Mochi The Mew]

Goh! I love him as a character in Pokémon Journeys, such a sweet boy!

He's just too darn cute! He's also pretty much relatable in my opinion, he just wants to catch every Pokémon from each region, including Mew.

And he is a pretty smart boy

 

[Setsuna]

Out of the girls, Lillie. I absolutely adore her design and her personality is just so sweet too. The anime made me love her even more. <3

LILLIE! I love her... 🤍

She honestly might be my favourite Pokemon character. I thought she was incredibly sweet my first time playing through Sun and Moon, and the scene on Exeggutor Island with her genuinely made me kinda blushy crushy for her... I remember looking up a bunch of cute ship art of Lillie and Selene and I don't think that's a thing I've done for any other Pokemon character before. She's a big reason why I love the Gen VII games so much, not just for her being an interesting character in story but... just for being cute. I like cute girls...

I do really like Klara too. She's kind of a stuck up brat and I... kinda like that about her? Like the contrast between how cute she tries to act and how devious she really is makes me laugh, I remember thinking it was really cool how she just straight-up cheats when battling you and throws out free Toxic Spikes on the field. It's something that made her really stand out to me because I've never seen it done by any other trainer and it just seems like the exact type of thing her kind of character would do.

Usually if I like any other characters it's just for their appearance or maybe one little character quirk they have. Characters like Marley, Cynthia, Courtney, Marnie, Erika, Mars, Kahili, Clair, Dahlia, and Anabel.
I have a huge soft spot for Acerola and I am completely totally normal about the Gen VI Hex Maniac design. I have a thing for spooky/ghost girls too...

 

[Sake-Kun]

I've always thought the main series don't really get enough screen time to really make an impact to me, but that's fine because Gengar from PMD Rescue Team exists.

Spoiler: Spoilers for the game, in case some of you care.

This guy starts out as the punk to get in your way, the jackass who will get you in premier trouble. The laughing, that grin. He's the one who almost gets the player character killed due to the fugitive arc that would start due to his lies. And at the end, he probably contemplated leaving the player character to their fate... until he seemed to choose otherwise.

But then his demeanor starts to drop, and behind the mischief and that glorious grin was a rather desperate figure who had failed their partner pokemon. And so, as a child, I got to witness the outcast struggle and then finally show remorse during the postgame portion of the game. It was the first time I would see what I would call a "realistic character", someone who wasn't a shining paragon of friendship or some hero, so watching them struggling and finally succeeding in repenting for their past mistakes by setting that partner free from their fate was especially memorable.

To a broken soul, the idea that even someone dark & cynical could find redemption if they were willing to try their absolute hardest for it was like a little spark of light within an otherwise shattered psyche.

 

[Venonat in Space]

Always loved Winnona (flying type gym leader of Hoenn). She has confidence i'll never achieve.

 

[UsedBandages]

Kieran and N have to be my favorites as of late. I enjoy both of the characters in a writing and aesthetic perspective. (Also I relate to Kieran too much to be normal, but whatever)

 

[icycatelf]

Probably Ruby from Pokémon Adventures. It's been a good while since I read it but I remember really liking his character. (Still haven't read ORAS.)
