4th Gen This might be old, but it's awesome (Riley Truth)

[CodeBrain]

Riley is really St. Aaron! :O

I just realized that today, after watching a rerun of it on CN.

Look in the thumbnails to see.

How do they look similar? Here's how:

Same spiky hair (located in front and back)
Same Hat (Notice the front tip is the same on both. This includes the back part of it.)
Same Favorite Pokemon (St. Aaron had a Lucario, which was his student and his "friend". Riley mains Lucario in Iron Island (And other places) )

This was either a prelude to St. Aaron, or just pure coincidence. It could be a prelude because the D/P US games came out about 9 days before the movie did.

Thoughts?

 

[Åzurε]

Yeah, I noticed that too. They do look really similar, but from different time periods, of course. Probably a decendant of him, like Ash was (I think), or just an equivalent. One must remember that the anime and the games are pretty much separate. Either way, it looks like they were making a character to show off a pokemon, rather than giving the character a pokemon to show off. XD

 

[Adley]

Sweet. But, St. Aaron is like frozen it a big tree. Perhaps a grandson or something. But they must be related. Perhaps this will be a development on the anime

 

[Kim Do-yeon]

What do you mean Sir Aaron and yeah they are similar maybe his full name is Sir Aaron Riley or Sir Riley Aaron.

 

[Lightey]

Yeah, I've noticed that..........

 

[Ryuzaki_Lawliet]

They could be the same person, yet they could just be like cousins or something...

 

[Shadow]

It's beyond obvious that one is based off of the other, to help tie the games and anime together.

It's not a coincidence of course.

Japanese D/P release date: September 28th 2006

Japanese movie release date: July 17, 2005

Now, Diamond and Pearl were obviously under development for a long time, but they potentially could have based it off the movie character. Or the movie character could have been based off the Diamond and Pearl character under development. Either way, it was a way to get people to see the movie and get excited for Diamond and Pearl by seeing not only the new Pokemon, but a hint as to where to get the new Pokemon.

 

[Kim Do-yeon]

it is like why does the female Rocket Grunt in Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal look like Cassidy from the Animé.

 

[Valeran]

Riley also exists in the anime though. They're definately related in some way though.

 

[mStar]

OMG. I just noticed it. I seriously think their the same people.

 

[iTzKaizer]

No they're not the same people, devendants or whatsoever. It's just that the movies and anime are based of the games. Aaron was based on Riley, as well as Ash was based on Red and so on. It's very usual... Only that the rest of people in the games are ignored ^^

 

[Kim Do-yeon]

Well you do have "Lass" trainer in the opening titles of the Series 1: Indigo Plateau saga.

 

[Cid]

Hmm... I think they are similar, but they aren't the same person. Riley's probably a descendant.

Riley seems to have the power to control aura, too (see his Platinum front sprite), so that's more proof.

 

[Haza]

I believe it was said that he is a descendant of Sir Aaron.

 

[dark charmander]

he cant b the same person because they are decades and decades apart so he could b a decendant but it could just be that they based him on sir aron or vice versa

 

[groudonlover]

He isn't.
Even bulbapedia states that, but Sir Aaron was designed to look like Riley, or maybe the other way(Riley after Sir Aaron)...

 

[CodeBrain]

Meh, they still look the same, so I thought they WERE the same.
