This is most clearly scene when he starts crying TearsOfJoy after he forces Arceus to create Dialga, Palkia and Giratina, thinking he has succeeded in pleasing Giovanni.
* SanitySlippage: This version of Archer is a lot more mentally unstable than his game counterpart, and he gets crazier and crazier as the arc goes on.
!! '''Ariana'''
One of the Four Generals of Team Rocket.
* AdaptationalUgliness: After the ArtShift. Several fans have pointed out that the promotional material, as well as her first appearance, showed her thin with wide hips, but that now she looks... fat. WordOfGod says this was ''intentional'', because they had never done a villain like that.
* TheBrute: She explains that each member of the Four Generals has a specific role, where hers is to eliminate obstacles.
* CurbStompBattle: She beat Crystal's team easily, [[spoiler:and then had Silver beat her in a similar fashion.]]
* FatAndSkinny: With Archer.
* EvilGloating: To Crystal. [[spoiler:Archer shuts her up.]]
* EvilRedhead: She has bright red hair and is a member of Team Rocket.
!! '''Petrel'''
The MasterOfDisguise. He's actually extremely good at it, [[GlamourFailure unlike the games.]]
* CombatPragmatist: He uses underhanded tactics like having his Koffing emit gas that blinds his opponents and disguising his face to confuse them. [[spoiler: He is even able to beat Lance like this, catching him off guard by disguising himself as Yellow in a Team Rocket uniform.]]
* DirtyCoward: He will always attempt to flee the scene if things look bad for him.
* EvilGloating: He's no smarter than in the games...
* {{Jerkass}}: The exact opposite of his AffablyEvil NiceGuy game persona.
* MasterOfDisguise: He can use makeup to near instantly change his face to look like someone else’s.
* MacGuffinDeliveryService: He proposes this to Archer in order to let him off the hook.
* SignatureMon: Koffing.
* TheStarscream: He has plans to usurp Archer.
!! '''Proton'''
One of the Four Generals of Team Rocket.
* SatelliteCharacter: Compared to his cohorts, he has very little characterization.

[[quoteright:196:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gold_67.png]]
He's the first hero of the ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal'' arc. Gold comes from a well-to-do family, can be quite a flirt and thinks of Pokémon as his family as he grew up with a lot of them. His journey begins when he sees Silver steal a Pokémon from Elm's lab and decides to catch him himself. Gold's first Pokémon was an Aipom (nicknamed Aibo in Viz's translation and Ataro in Chuang Yi's translation) and his 'starter' was a Cyndaquil (nicknamed Exbo and Explotaro in Viz and Chuang Yi's releases respectively).
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: Eventually resorts to going to the ground and begging to get Oak to give him a Pokédex.
* AntiHero: A Disney Anti-Hero. He's a bit temperamental, tends to do things for fun, and usually causes trouble (intentionally or otherwise) wherever he goes; but is a nice guy way, way underneath.
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' hurt Pokémon or treat them as mere tools in front of Gold.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: His delinquent-like character makes it hard for others to take him seriously, but he takes care of various troubles with his wits.
* CasanovaWannabe: Regularly hits on a pretty girls. [[DudeLooksLikeALady And Bugsy.]]
* ChivalrousPervert: He's a total flirt and once patted Green's butt, but he does care about many of the women he hits on as people (though due to his JerkWithAHeartOfGold tendencies, he might not show it as much).
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the maverick. It isn't a majorly stressed thing, and mostly played for laughs, but multiple characters (Oak, Crystal, Whitney) have voiced on different occasions how infuriating and/or unreliable Gold is for doing more-or-less whatever he feels like. Best exemplified in HGSS, where Oak admits that Gold was his last pick among the Johto trio (Silver was incommunicado, Crystal was busy elsewhere).
* {{Determinator}}: Losing battles and almost his own life practically five times to the [[BigBad Masked Man]]? He keeps trying stop him anyway.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: He disguises himself as Guile Hideout once.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Even after saving Johto, people see Gold more of a troublemaker than a hero and none of the Hoenn Dex Holders (sans Emerald) show him any respect. In HGSS arc, the Radio Director even blames him for Arceus' destruction.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As The Breeder, his specialty is hatching eggs. His baby Pokémon take on some of his traits as well. In the HGSS arc he's also the master of the Pokéathlon.
* HandsomeLech: He flirts with almost every woman he sees in ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal'' (and in one instance, he flirted with [[DudeLooksLikeALady Bugsy]]). He seemed to have stopped doing so in the ''Emerald'' chapter....but then gets right back to it in ''[=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=]''.
* HeroWorship: Wants to be just like Red, and trains with him on Mt. Silver for that purpose.
* HotBlooded: There were even flames in the background when he showed intense desire to beat up the Masked Man.
* IndyPloy: His are so blatant that mental objections fill the panel when he acts like he planned it all along.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He is ''very'' good with a Pool Cue.
** RequiredSecondaryPowers: For whatever reason, that cue is strong enough to shatter ice and [[spoiler: keep Lugia, a legendary Pokémon, from closing his mouth to use his breath attacks]].
* ISurrenderSuckers: Uses this a few times, first when fighting the Masked Man in Ilex Forest.
* ItAmusedMe: Outright said that this was his main motivation for his journeys: he doesn't do things for justice, he just wants to have fun. With that said, later events and his reactions to them call the truthfulness of this statement into question.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Aside from the pun, he's no different from his rival in this respect, but he usually means well and just wants to show off, and he has a deep love for Pokémon. That being said, he has semi-regular moments where he displays that he can be a major and unrepentant ass (the time where he nearly immolated Crystal which he had the audacity to laugh about, for one). In-universe, it is highlighted in HGSS that some people ''do'' regard him as little more than an unreliable trouble maker (Oak assigns him to the Pokéathlon only because Silver and Crystal weren't available, Mary outright says that about him).
* TheLeader: Headstrong type of the Johto Dex holders. [[DudeWheresMyRespect Sometimes.]]
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Any Pokémon hatched with Gold has the tendency to be just like him. This may range from appearance (like Pibu) or, far more unfortunately, [[TheTrickster his habits]] (Like Togetaro).
* TheNicknamer: 'Miss Prissy' to Crystal and 'Prissy Boy' to Ruby to name some.
* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Getting a piece of his hair snipped off by the monks' Bellsprout in Sprout Tower seemed to really set him off.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Goes on to give the police an inaccurate description of Silver just so no one else can be the one to catch him.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Can actually be quite clever, forming plans in times of need while playing dumb.
%%* PersonalityBloodTypes: B.
* PhraseCatcher: Whenever he brags about something, others will call him "Liar" behind his back.
** Doubly so [[BlatantLies every time he says]] [[IMeantToDoThat it was all according to plan]].
* RecurringElement: He has a few parallels to Red. For instance they both had Poliwhirl's but took different branched evolutions. They also had to win over the trust of the Pokémon Prof. to get their starter (a four legged Pokémon with it's special ability sprouting from its back). He also gets Sudowoodo on his team, a Pokémon known for blocking roadways like Red's Snorlax.
* StockShonenHero: To an extent - he's got many of the qualities, but he is portrayed in a much more negative light than usual for this trope.
* TsurimeEyes: Another case of them.
* UnclePennybags: Not as rich as Platinum Berlitz, but he is portrayed to have enough money to count as a literal rich idiot.
* WildHair: Whenever he takes his hat off, especially in ''[=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=]''.
* WowingCthulhu: Near the end of HGSS arc, it's all up him to stop Arceus [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity by showing the good in humanity.]]
* WrongAssumption: A minor example, where he assumes that Silver also stole the bag containing the Pokémon from his house after seeing him steal Totodile.
!!'''Gold's Pokémon'''
!!'''Aibo/Ataro (Ētarou)'''
One of the Pokémon that lived in Gold's home. He was originally the first and only Gold took on his journey until Gold realized he lost (and later retrieved) Polibo. Started out as an Aipom and later evolved when it learned Double Hit.
* PunnyName: Though entirely an English-version nickname, Aibo is Japanese for "Partner".
!!'''Exbo/Explotaro (Bakutarou)'''
A Typhlosion that Gold obtained as a Cyndaquil when it asked to join his team to rescue his Totodile friend that was stolen by Silver.
!!'''Polibo/Poltaro (Nyotarou)'''
A Politoed that was one of the Pokémon that lived in Gold's house since it was a Poliwag. After an incident involving Team Rocket, it was lost at sea but was later found and became a major part of his team. Gold initially intended for him to evolve into a Poliwrath like Red's but Polibo evolved into a Politoed after it was temporarily traded to Silver for his Seadra.
* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: The King's Rock is what caused Polibo to evolve once it was traded to Silver.
* BashBrothers: With Red's Poliwrath in ''Emerald''.
!!'''Sunbo/Sintaro (Kimatarou)'''
A Sunflora that Gold caught as a Sunkern. She evolved into a Sunflora during the battle against the Masked Man.
* EyesAlwaysShut: After evolution.
* GreenThumb: She’s Grass-type.
* PetalPower: Her head is a flower after evolving.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Only female member on Gold's team.
* SunnySunflowerDisposition: After evolution.
!!'''Sudobo/Utaro (Ūtarou)'''
A Sudowoodo that Gold saved from a Rhydon during a bike race he had with Whitney. After helping it, Gold accepted it onto his team.
* CowardlyLion: Is initially in hiding from a Rhydon in the area. When Gold convinces him to stand up to the Rhydon, however, he clobbers it.
!!'''Togebo/Togetaro (Togetarou)'''
A Togepi that Gold hatched from an egg. Due to a problem with connecting to Togebo, Gold went a while unable to evolve him. During the battle against Arceus, Gold managed to connect with Togebo, and he evolved into Togetic and Togekiss to stop the rampaging Pokémon.
* {{Flight}}: Once he evolves.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Is it any wonder that "The Breeder" would have an egg Pokémon?
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Gold's ability to make his hatched Pokémon like him turned a Pokémon that is known for bringing happiness into a gambling delinquent.
* OutOfFocus: Didn't get much focus in the GSC chapter after Gold caught Mantine and sent him to the PC. It's eventually deconstructed; Gold tends to leave Togebo out of battles because he doesn't think it's as strong as his other Pokémon, and this is why Togebo can't evolve. It's eventually remedied in the HG/SS chapter, where Togebo finally gets to evolve. (Twice, even!)
* TookALevelInBadass: As a Togepi, he was badass, but won most of his battles through pure luck or sneak attacks. Upon evolving twice, he became strong enough to face against Arceus and calm it down with a single attack. [[spoiler:Although he didn't actually hurt it.]]
!!'''Tibo/Mantaro (Mantarou) and Remoraid'''
A Mantine that Gold encountered after being sent flying into the sea. He quickly befriended the Pokémon and uses it in conjunction with Crystal's recently-captured Remoraid to enable it to fly.
* {{Flight}}: Achieves this with the Remoraid. Normally, the Mantine species cannot fly.
** {{Jetpack}}: His method of flight transportation for Gold.
* PutOnABus: Doesn't appear in the HGSS chapter at all.
!!'''Pibu (Pich)'''
A Pichu that hatched from an egg that was produced by Red's Pika and Yellow's Chuchu. Has wild hair like his Trainer.
* BadassAdorable: Pibu was the one that defeated Pryce using a Super Rising Thunder, what would eventually become the ultimate electric move, Volt Tackle. It did this MERE MINUTES AFTER IT WAS BORN.
* KidHero: The first thing it did after being born was beating the BigBad of the third arc.
* OutOfFocus: Not on Gold's main team in HGSS, but appears near the end assisting Celebi and the Spiky-Eared Pichu.
* PunnyName[=/=]LostInTranslation: Like Bull, Pibu is a nicknamed Pokémon who's name was not caught by any translators. When written in Japanese, Pich's name is only one character short from the Pichu's species name and would probably be considered a spelling error if not for [[AllThereInTheManual Netkun]].
* WildHair: Has his trainer's spiky hair.

[[quoteright:224:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/silver_hgss_adventures.png]]
The second hero and TheLancer of ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal''. He's an AntiHero and works in ways that aren't always very favorable. Has a [[DarkAndTroubledPast secret, dark past]], but is usually just a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. His first Pokémon is a Sneasel and his starter is a Totodile which he stole from the lab.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Silver's a {{Jerkass}} with no heroic actions in the games who only learns to trust and care for his Pokémon after being defeated and called out by Lance, but here, he's driven for vengeance for Green and himself and is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold from the start.
* AntiHero: He starts as an Unscrupulous Anti-Hero at first. While he does the things he does for an ultimately good cause (bringing Mask of Ice down), he's not above stealing or kidnapping Pokémon to accomplish his goals. However, he develops into a Disney Anti-Hero over time.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He's fairly confident in his skills and backs it up well.
* BerserkButton: You shouldn't don't do anything perverted to Green in front of him, as shown when Gold patted her butt.
* ChildProdigy: [[spoiler:He's able to teach Feraligatr Hydro Cannon from consciously watching the Hoenn dex holders practising their moves, a feat that ''none'' of the other dex holders, including his seniors, were able to accomplish. Apparently he got this from his father.]]
* TheComicallySerious: He comes across as a serious character in his early appearances...but then he saw his wanted poster. This is taken to hilarious levels when we find out at the end of the HGSS arc that [[spoiler: Silver is a fan of Proteam Omega, and seems fixated on staying at Gold's house just to catch its first airing on television. The only other main character who is known to be a fan of the show is ''Diamond''.]]
* CryCute: At the end of the GSC arc when he believed that Gold couldn't come back from his final battle with the Masked Man, as well as the FRLG when Blue convinces him to [[spoiler:look past his father's villainy and recognize how much Giovanni cared about him.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:The poor dear was kidnapped at two years old, which is how he met Green.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: Silver has been shown secretly working with Green during ''Yellow'', but wasn't introduced until ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal''
* EvilRedHead: Not really, just more of a jerk.
* FlungClothing: When he ditched the Team Rocket wardrobe Sird put on him.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As The Exchanger, his specialty is trading. As a bit of a lost in translation pun with his counterpart Green, (Exchanger and Evolver have similar pronouciations in Japanese) he also specializes in trade induced evolution as he's performed with Green, Blue, and Gold.
* HeroicBSOD: Sird's revelation that [[spoiler:his father is Giovanni]] hits him so hard that he looked ready to faint without the assistance of her Banette. After waking up, he felt dejected that his dreams of having a happy family would never work out with [[spoiler:the leader of Team Rocket.]]
* HiddenDepths: See TheComicallySerious.
* InstantExpert: Learned [[spoiler:Feraligtr's special move in less than a minute!]]
-->'''Gold''' (thinking in shock): It took me two months to learn that move!
* ItsPersonal: With the Mask of Ice in the GSC arc, and with Team Rocket's revival in HGSS arc. The Johto stories more to do with his backstory than any other Dex Holder, and he feels responsible in stopping Giovanni's crimes in the remake arc.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He starts out as one, in contrast to his game counterpart, who was a JerkAss who developed into this.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Green. Comes with [[spoiler:being friends while being abducted by a masked man]]. Even comes with MySisterIsOffLimits towards Gold.
* LukeIAmYourFather: It turns out later that [[spoiler:he's the son of Team Rocket boss Giovanni.]]
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:Subverted with his father Giovanni. In HGSS, Gold wonders if Giovanni became evil when Silver was kidnapped. But Giovanni was quick to refute this, stating that he had always been a villain with ambitions to conquer the world. That being said...]]
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Giovanni still loves his son dearly who brings out some of his nobler qualities.]]
* NotSoStoic: He starts off [[TheStoic barely showing much emotion beyond mild curiosity]], but has a full-on SlasherSmile when he confronts Team Rocket at Slowpoke Well. He gradually begins softening out as the storyline progresses.
%%* PersonalityBloodTypes: AB.
* ProphetEyes: [[spoiler:He gains these when he is temporarily blinded by Petrel. Crys later heals him.]]
* PutOnABus: Green tried to enforce this in the GSC arc.
* TheStoic: At first he doesn't emote too much, but grows out of it.
* YankTheDogsChain: Silver had been searching for him family since he was a child, honestly hoping that he'd have a loving family filled with Pokémon, like Gold... [[spoiler:only to find his father is Giovanni.]]
!!'''Silver's Pokémon'''
!!'''Weavile'''
A Weavile that Silver has owned since it was a Sneasel.
* AnIcePerson: Ice is his secondary type.
* CombatPragmatist: Dark is his primary type.
* CuteLittleFangs: And thus it's less likely to be using biting moves.
* WickedWeasel: Downplayed; it's a dark weasel and Silver was initially morally ambiguous, but they're both heroes now.
* WolverineClaws: Uses these to leave messages for others of the species to find.
!!'''Feraligatr'''
A Pokémon that Silver stole from Professor Elm when he was a Totodile.
* AnIcePerson: Knows Ice Punch.
* BadassAdorable: As Tododile. After only a few days with Gold, it already had an impressive reserve of powerful moves.
* IChooseToStay: He was stolen by Silver, but when Gold tries to take him back at Bellsprout Tower, Tododile bites him, already preferring to stay with Silver.
* MakingASplash: He's Water-type
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Or an alligator, depending on the evolution.
!!'''Honchkrow'''
Silver's mode of flight transportation. Was first seen as a Murkrow.
* BlowYouAway: Flying is his secondary type.
* CombatPragmatist: Dark is his primary type.
* {{Flight}}: Silver's primary flier.
* NiceHat / PimpDuds: As a Honchkrow.
!!'''Kingdra'''
A Kingdra that was once traded to Green for her Bull but later traded back offscreen. She evolved into a Seadra offscreen and evolved into Kingdra when she was temporarily traded to Gold for his Polibo.
* MakingASplash: She's Water-type as a Horsea and Seadra and it's her primary type as a Kingdra.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Dragon is her secondary type as a Kingdra.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Only female member on Silver's team.
!!'''Gyarados'''
The Red Gyarados of the Lake of Rage. Silver captured him to stop the Pokémon there from rampaging because of Team Rocket's trouble causing.
* BlowYouAway: Flying is his secondary type.
* MakingASplash: Water is his primary type
* PlayingWithFire: Knows Fire Blast.

!!'''Crystal'''
!!! The Catcher/Capturer
->''"Capture complete!"''
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crystal_68.png]]
The third and last hero/ine of ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal''. Her name is usually shortened to Crys. Crystal stars in two books alone before teaming up with Silver and Gold. She was given a Pokédex after taking the job of catching Pokémon for Professor Oak so she can help the run down orphanage she's helping look after. Has caught all non-legendaries and is currently working as Oak's assistant. Her first Pokémon was a Smoochum named Chumee and starter is a Chikorita nicknamed Megaree. Each of her Pokémon have a star on them somewhere.
----
* TheAce: In regards to Pokémon catching. It says volumes of her skill that she legitimately managed to [[GottaCatchEmAll Catch 'Em All]], or at least every non-Legendary in Kanto, Johto, & Hoenn by ''Emerald''.
* AgeInappropriateDress: Her outfit in ''[=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=]''; forced on to her by [[ManChild her mother]].
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The camera focuses on her after Gold and Silver are defeated by the Mask of Ice. She goes on almost a two volume long solo adventure as The Hero of her own story before teaming up with the others.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Her mother is a loving, encouraging and competent, but she's flamboyant, hammy and painfully childish. She's also a Coordinator like [[CampStraight Ruby and Wallace]], which makes a painful amount of sense.
* BrainyBrunette: If you count her Emerald artwork, where her hair is a dark brown.
* CatchPhrase: "Capture complete!" in the Viz translation, "Capture done." in the Chuang Yi translation.
* TheCoatsAreOff: She does this quite a few times before ''[=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=]'', most notably when rescuing Bill's boat from a wild Flaafy and Dunsparce and while re-training herself at Mt. Mortar.
* CompositeCharacter: She wears Lyra's outfit from ''Pokémon [=HeartGold=] & [=SoulSilver=]''. [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute How ironic]].
* ContagiousHeroism: [[spoiler: Her selfless decision to undertake the completion of the Pokédex in exchange for massively upgrading the QOL of the orphanage she worked at inspired Emerald to become a dex holder himself.]]
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: She can be seen as one to Green. Despite both of them being introduced in the middle of the arc, their debut marking the third-version game of their respective gens, Green got her start by stealing a starter from Oak and is very roguish to boot. Meanwhile, Crystal got her start by helping Oak in his research and is very serious about it.
* CoolBigSis: To Emerald, the orphans, Ruby and Sapphire.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: She is already seen with 6 well-trained Pokémon in her debut, where her starter ironically becomes her 7th Pokémon.
* ExtremityExtremist: She uses her Poké Balls by kicking them at her targets, a habit she developed after injuring her arms while training her capturing skills.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As The Catcher, her specialty is capturing wild Pokémon. She has a unique way of using Poké Balls (kicking instead of throwing) and also becomes Oak's assistant like the player character in the game is supposed to be since she has the completed Dex.
* GirlishPigtails: Hers slant upwards. Unlike her eccentric mother, however, she's nowhere near childish.
* GottaCatchThemAll: Her original goal in ''Crystal'' before the plot with the Masked Man came back into focus, and she succeeds by ''Emerald''. [[SequelHook Sort of...]]. Heck, her specialty title is "Capturer".
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: When she fails to catch Suicune and understand it in ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal''.]] Her mother has to [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan slap her]] and she has to start training from scratch when she finally reboots.
* ItsPersonal: She feels obligated in stopping Team Rocket in HGSS arc, believing that that's what'll ensure kids a safe future.
* KickChick: She kicks her Poké Balls instead of throwing them, since she had broken her arms when training and had to improvise. Though she fully recovered from her injuries since then, she maintains the habit of kicking Poké Balls.
* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: Is a serious young girl [[FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter compared to her girlish mother]] as noted above, although they share the mood swing tendencies.
* ModestyShorts: Keeps her traveling biker shorts on under her scientist skirt.
* MoodSwinger: Usually a nice, cheerful person, but whenever catching is involved, she turns super serious and focused.
* OnlySaneWoman: Between her, [[TheGadfly Gold]], and [[TheStoic Silver]], she's the most responsible.
%%* PersonalityBloodTypes: A.
* ShipTease: With Silver, Emerald and Gold.
* SignificantName: Her birthday is at 30th of April, where her birthstone is crystal.
* SymbolMotifClothing: Every member of her Pokémon team has a star-shaped marking somewhere on its body or wears a star-shaped accessory.
* {{Tsundere}}: Downplayed. While she does tend to flip-flop between an easy-going demeanor and anger in Gold's case, these instances are generally caused by legitimate grievances over selfish (and occasionally ''dangerous'' things) he does (as in their trip to the Pokémon League, where he unapologetically almost caused her serious burns).
** Then played straight in the HG/SS arc as she kicked Gold everytime he tried to say something about her new clothes, without letting him finish the sentence.
!!'''Crystal's Pokémon'''
!!'''Chumee (Mupyon)'''
Crystal's first Pokémon. A Smoochum that helps her catch Pokémon by stunning them with Mean Look, preventing them from escaping. Wears a star necklace around her neck that is shared with Megaree.
* AnIcePerson: Ice is her primary type.
* PsychicPowers: Psychic is her secondary type.
!!'''Megaree/Mega (Megapyon)'''
A Meganium that wanted to join Crystal's team after hearing about the exploits that Gold's Exbo and Silver's Feraligatr had with their Trainers. At first, Crystal didn't want him because she had a full team but decided to take him after seeing him show his determination. Wears a star necklace around his neck.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Is seen wagging his tiny tail in happiness as a Chikorita
* BadassAdorable: As a Chikorita, he was perfectly willing to follow Crystal across the wilds of Johto. Just before he evolved into Bayleef, he headbutted a Larvitar that had previously fought Archy and grievously wounded him. It's this quality that convinces Crystal to accept him as a member of her team.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Based on a sauropod.
* GreenThumb: He's Grass-type.
* TheCallPutMeOnHold: Wanted to go on adventures like Elm's Cyndaquil and Totodile, but was left behind. When Crystal declined to take him in initially, he kicked Elm in the face and ran after her. Even when he found her, Crystal was still unwilling to take him in at first.
!!'''Bonee (Karapyon)'''
A Cubone that Crystal met after she was sent down a cliff from a wild Arcanine. He uses moves that prevent the opponent from fainting to make capture easier. Has star cracks on his helmet.

* {{Flight}}: As a Flying-type, this is a given, as she stays off the ground and moves through the air.
* PsychicPowers: She's a Psychic-type, and she can move things with its mind.
!!'''Parasee (Parapyon)'''
A Parasect that Crystal met after she was sent down a cliff from a wild Arcanine. She uses special spores made inside her body to inflict status inflictions on Pokémon, making them easier to capture. She has star patterns on her mushroom body.
* BlankWhiteEyes: Although the fact that the mushroom has taken over a Parasect's body is never brought up.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: She's part Bug-type, and it's comes to about Crystal's knees.
* CombatMedic: Can cure status effects and mix medicine using its spores.
* GreenThumb: She's part Grass-type, which is know for growing plant life.
!!'''Archy/Arckee (Winpyon)'''
An Arcanine that Crystal met when she was a child. Having been blinded in his right eye by a wild Larvitar, he went on a rampage and knocked Crystal off a cliff until she healed him later. Wears a star collar on his neck.
* CanisMajor: A big, fiery dog.
* PreciousPuppies: Downplayed as Crys only ever knew him as an Arcanine.
* HeroicDog: Very much so.
* PeekABangs: To cover his blinded eye.
* PlayingWithFire: Fire-type, and it can breathe fire.

!Allies
[[folder: Johto]]
!!'''Professor Elm'''
The Pokémon professor of the Johto region, Elm was unfortunate enough to be robbed of Totodile by Silver and could only watch as Gold took Cyndaquil to track him down.
* ButtMonkey: To a lesser extent than Bill, though.
!!'''Falkner'''
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/falkner_gsc_adventures_9.png]]
First appearing as a police officer, Falkner befriends Gold who helps him catch a Skarmory. He later uses it to pass the Gym Leader exam and becomes the Leader of the Violet City Gym. Looks up to his father (implied to be Walker, an old friend of Chuck's), who was a policeman.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the games, Falkner is considered to be one of the weakest Gym Leaders in the series. In the manga, Falkner is one of the stronger Gym Leaders from Johto and comes much closer than the others to catching Suicune. When the Team Rocket members invaded the Indigo Plateau, while most of the Gym Leaders fought them off using their Pokémon, Falkner is one of the few who confront the Rockets directly, as he can be seen tackling a Rocket to the ground.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Janine. They share a mutual respect due to both having father issues.
* BlowYouAway: Specializes in Flying-type Pokémon.
* CompositeCharacter: Falkner was the same policeman who investigated Professor Elm's lab.
%%* FairCop
* PeekABangs: Only his right eye is ever visible.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Made from his Skarmory's cast off feathers which he then fits his Pokéballs to. He also uses them as more direct weapons.
* SignatureMon: Skarmory.
%%* WindFromBeneathMyWings

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Specializes in Bug-type Pokémon.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and purple eyes.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: His first appearance has Gold mistaking him for a girl and flirting with him.
* SignatureMon: Heracross.
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Gold first mistakes Bugsy for a girl and asks him out.
!!'''Whitney'''
A somewhat childish Gym Leader who specializes in Normal-types, Whitney is the only Gym Leader aside from Pryce who Suicune doesn't challenge. She sometimes helps her good friend DJ Mary on radio shows.
* AdaptationalWimp: She's notorious for being ThatOneBoss in the games, but is one of the weakest Gym Leaders here, to the point that Suicune doesn't even bother with her when he's looking for a leader to be his partner.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She shows a surprising amount of skill when battling the fake ice Suicune.
* CurbStompBattle: She is the receiving end of this as Misty defeats her rather easily in only a few pages, which is kind of sad as the other Gym Leader battles took at least a chapter. Well, Suicune didn't bother with her for a reason...not to mention [[spoiler: it chose Misty as its partner as well.]]
* {{Fangirl}}: She seems to have a fangirl crush for Bruno by the end of the ''[=HeartGold=]/[=SoulSilver=]'' chapter. At the end of this one when we see her with a poster of his on her room and sending him Rage Candy Bars.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In the ''[=HeartGold/SoulSilver=]'' arc, she's matured and become a nicer, if still flawed, person.

* SignatureMon: Miltank.
!!'''Morty'''
A trainer with clairvoyant psychic abilities, Morty is the Leader of the Ecruteak City Gym. Specializes in Ghost-types.
* PsychicPowers: As long as he has an idea of what he's looking for, he can see it and its location. (Ho-oh is out of his league though.) People actually come to him and pay him to find the things they lost or can't find.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears a scarf in the ''[=HeartGold=] & [=SoulSilver=]'' chapter.
* SignatureMon: Misdreavus.

* BadassNormal: He mastered several different martial arts and trains himself along side of his Pokémon.
* BarefistedMonk: Specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon.
* HappilyMarried: He is seen living happily with his wife.
* LargeHam: Subdued when not fighting, but when he ''does'' fight...
* SignatureMon: Hitmontop.
* StoutStrength: He’s pretty fat for someone who’s supposed to a constantly training martial artist.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Perhaps to emphasize his dedication to martial arts training, he is never seen with a shirt on.
!!'''Jasmine'''
The Olivine City Gym Leader who was caught in Ecruteak City earthquake, she had to save herself because Gold and Silver were too busy fighting over who would save ''her''. She specializes in the Steel-type, though she has other types on her team. Her part-time job is looking after the Sparkle Lighthouse.
* ExtraOreDinary: Specializes in Steel-type Pokémon.
* ShrinkingViolet: She doesn't really like showing off her abilities as a fighter to the public. Notably, she hid her Steelix by covering its body in a rock covering to make people think it was just an odd-looking Onix not because she wanted an advantage in her match with Brock, but because she didn't want her Steelix to receive undue attention for being one of the first recorded cases of proof for an Onix being able to evolve.
* SignatureMon: Steelix.
!!'''Pryce'''
[[quoteright:220:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/220px_pryce_adventures.png]]
The Leader of Mahogany Town's Gym, Pryce specializes in Ice-types. A frail old man in a wheelchair.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: The true identity of the Mask of Ice.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: In the ''[=HeartGold=] & [=SoulSilver=]'' chapter he shows up alongside Giovanni and Lance to help Gold, Silver and Crystal fight the Creation Trio.]]
* CharacterTics: tapping the tip of his cane against the ground. [[spoiler:Turns out, it's to use a Pokégear hidden in his cane.]]
* EvilCripple: [[spoiler: As Pryce, he's in a wheelchair. As Mask of Ice, he uses an artificially made ice body to walk around in.]]
* EyesAlwaysShut: [[spoiler: Less frequent after his reveal as the Mask of Ice.]]
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:All he wanted was to go back in time and save the Pokémon he wasn't able to save.]]
* HandicappedBadass: [[DisabledInTheAdaptation Being stuck in a wheelchair]] doesn’t change that he is the leader of all the Johto Gym Leaders.
* AnIcePerson: Specializes in Ice-type Pokémon. He also makes sculptures that move around.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:He doesn't seem to face any punishment after he returns in the HGSS chapter.]]
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: A variation. [[spoiler:He's gone insane after years and years of emotionally repressing himself after losing his beloved Lapras. So really, lack of expressing love made him crazy.]]
* TheMentor: [[spoiler:By the end of HGSS arc, it's implied that he and Lance will train Silver in preparing him to best Giovanni.]]
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: He’s absolutely tiny. [[spoiler: This lets him sit in as the head of the Masked Man on top of the body made of ice.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: [[spoiler: His Swinub can throw down with ''Dialga''.]]
* SchrodingersCast: [[spoiler: Held this status until the HGSS chapter.]]
* TragicIceCharacter: [[spoiler: He lost his two Lapras in an avalanche, only for their offspring to hatch right and then. This served as his StartOfDarkness.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: He did everything he did to catch Celebi so he could save his two Lapras that were lost in an avalanche when he was young.]]

* SignatureMon: Dragonair.
* WhipItGood: For Pokéball launching and close-range combat.
!!'''Mirei'''
A hyper woman with a [[{{Manchild}} rather childish demeanor]], Crystal's mom can still be serious when the time calls for it.
* AllThereInTheManual: Her name was revealed by [=PokéSPedia=].
* ArmorPiercingSlap: How she got Crystal out of her funk. Replaced with an epic DeathGlare outside of Japan.
* CanonForeigner: She has no in-game equivalent, since opposite-gender rivals wouldn't be a thing until gen III.
* GenkiGirl: She’s very perky and excitable.
* GyaruGirl: Her design's very much this, contributing to her hyperactive girl shtick.
* MoodSwinger: Much like her daughter, she has an intense, serious side to her.
!!'''Eusine'''
A Trainer in pursuit of the legendary Pokémon Suicune. He formed a rivalry with Crystal during the events of the Crystal arc,
but by the end of the arc they become on much friendlier terms with each other. He also has a more minor role in the HGSS arc where he encounters Silver.
* BadassCape: Wears a short one that only reaches the bottom of his back.
* ButtMonkey: Especially in the HGSS arc.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of Suicune.
* GuileHero: Has shades of this in the Crystal arc.
* InelegantBlubbering: Somewhat subverted, as he's only sobbing because of the presense of Koffing. The second time is genuine as he's moved by Silver's motive to thwart Team Rocket.
* LargeHam: Even more so than in the games.
* SharpDressedMan: In addition to having a BadassCape.
* {{Squee}}: Eusine has a moment of this when he encounters Suicune the first time [[spoiler: ...until he finds out the hard way it's actually a Ditto in disguise.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/masked_man.png]]
The BigBad of the GSC chapter, he gathered the remnants of Team Rocket for his own plans. His motive is to gain the power to control time.
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: As Pryce, in the games he is just a neutral Gym Leader but here’s he’s the BigBad.]]
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:His motivation reveals him to be a mix of Types II and III.]]
* AttemptedSuicide: [[spoiler: When he is defeated and loses Celebi, meaning his plan was all for nothing, he starts squeezing his own throat in an attempt to strangle himself to death. Thankfully, Celebi intervenes.]]
* BigBad: Of the G/S/C arc.
* TheChessmaster: His plan took ''years'' to carry out, but it comes very close to succeeding.
* CoolMask: His is made up of [[spoiler:the same metal that Gym badges are made of, clueing the heroes that he is one of the Gym Leaders.]]
** DramaticUnmask: [[spoiler: Gold uses a combination attack from his entire team to pin down the Masked Man and uses his pool cue to shatter the mask, revealing Pryce.]]
* AnIcePerson: Not only is he an ice specialist, he can freeze a huge area in seconds and instantly create almost anything out of ice.
* HealingFactor: [[spoiler:Having a body made of regenerating ice helps. Unless extreme sunlight is involved.]]
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: He seemed to have finally let go of his pain at the end of GSC, but he's lost in time before he can really live that life. [[spoiler:Subverted when he comes back in HGSS, a much better person]].
* KickTheDog: He tells Gold that Pokémon are just weapons to him. [[spoiler:Subverted when as Pryce, he tells Gold that he lied and that Pokémon are to be loved.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: He is arguably one of the darkest villains in the series. [[spoiler:He kidnapped and and brainwashed six children (one of whom was only a toddler) into wearing masks and doing his bidding.]] He also is one of the most terrifying looking characters in the series, and was thought to be AmbiguouslyHuman for most of the arc.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: Becomes more pronounced in the Indigo Plateau.
* MiniMecha: [[spoiler:His ice body works on the same principle, with Pryce himself sitting on his wheelchair, positioned where the head should be.]]
* OlympusMons: He captures Lugia and Ho-Oh and uses them to attack the Pokémon League. [[spoiler: In the climax he also controls Celebi.]]
* PetTheDog: He has two...
** [[spoiler:The issue with his pair of Lapras, and their kid. He truly loved them.]]
** [[spoiler:In a flashback before the FRLG chapter, he seems really sad about Silver and Green leaving him. Hell, he even made an ice statue of himself with the six "children" together ''as a family''! This shows that deep down he cared for them, but couldn't express it due to his heart being so "frozen over", and though he ''wanted'' them to be a family to him, he could only ever treat them like weapons or servants instead.]]
* SignatureMon: Delibird.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Earlier in his time, he has a lapse of weakness [[spoiler:for his constant pursuit of Celebi.]] Exploiting this was how Green and Silver escaped from his forces in the first place.
!! '''Will'''
One of the Masked Kids who are directly under the Masked Man, Will is a psychic-type specialist who enjoys doing things for the thrills alone (but not the danger). After the Masked Man is defeated, he joins Koga and Bruno since he doesn't have anything else to do.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the games he is just a neutral Elite Four member but here he’s a member of the villainous Masked Kids.
* CoDragons: With Karen, to Mask of Ice.
* ForTheEvulz: He and Karen chose to follow the Masked Man of their own will because they found life too boring. They don’t see his evil actions as anything serious.
* HeelFaceTurn: After the Masked Man’s defeat he joins the official Elite Four.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite willingly working for the Masked Man and committing various evil actions, including [[MindRape mind raping]] Green, he joins the Elite Four with no repercussions. He doesn’t even really have a change of heart, he just does so because it sounds interesting.
* MonsterClown: In the GSC arc, prior to his HGSS redesign.
* OlympusMons: He controls Lugia after the Masked Man is done with it.
* PsychicPowers: Specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once Silver starts beating him he decides to leave since he no longer fines the situation fun.

!! '''Karen'''
Another one of the Masked Kids, Karen specializes in the Dark-type. Though a little sadistic and twisted, she goes off with Koga and Bruno in good graces after the final battle.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The Karen in the games was just a member of the Johto Elite Four and didn't do much. Here, she's part of the Masked Man's Team Rocket.
* BareYourMidriff: In her [=HeartGold=] & [=SoulSilver=] outfit.
* CoDragons: With Will, to Mask of Ice. Oddly, they don't appear until later in ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal''.

->''"...Pokémon are my [[TrueCompanions partners]]! We work alongside for the same goals because we are partners!"''
[[quoteright:196:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gold_67.png]]
He's the first hero of the ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal'' arc. Gold comes from a well-to-do family, can be quite a flirt and thinks of Pokémon as his family as he grew up with a lot of them. His journey begins when he sees Silver steal a Pokémon from Elm's lab and decides to catch him himself. Gold's first Pokémon was an Aipom (nicknamed Aibo in Viz's translation and Ataro in Chuang Yi's translation) and his 'starter' was a Cyndaquil (nicknamed Exbo and Explotaro in Viz and Chuang Yi's releases respectively).
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: Eventually resorts to going to the ground and begging to get Oak to give him a Pokédex.
* AntiHero: A Disney Anti-Hero. He's a bit temperamental, tends to do things for fun, and usually causes trouble (intentionally or otherwise) wherever he goes; but is a nice guy way, way underneath.
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' hurt Pokémon or treat them as mere tools in front of Gold.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: His delinquent-like character makes it hard for others to take him seriously, but he takes care of various troubles with his wits.
* CasanovaWannabe: Regularly hits on a pretty girls. [[DudeLooksLikeALady And Bugsy.]]
* ChivalrousPervert: He's a total flirt and once patted Green's butt, but he does care about many of the women he hits on as people (though due to his JerkWithAHeartOfGold tendencies, he might not show it as much).
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the maverick. It isn't a majorly stressed thing, and mostly played for laughs, but multiple characters (Oak, Crystal, Whitney) have voiced on different occasions how infuriating and/or unreliable Gold is for doing more-or-less whatever he feels like. Best exemplified in HGSS, where Oak admits that Gold was his last pick among the Johto trio (Silver was incommunicado, Crystal was busy elsewhere).
* {{Determinator}}: Losing battles and almost his own life practically five times to the [[BigBad Masked Man]]? He keeps trying stop him anyway.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: He disguises himself as Guile Hideout once.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Even after saving Johto, people see Gold more of a troublemaker than a hero and none of the Hoenn Dex Holders (sans Emerald) show him any respect. In HGSS arc, the Radio Director even blames him for Arceus' destruction.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As The Breeder, his specialty is hatching eggs. His baby Pokémon take on some of his traits as well. In the HGSS arc he's also the master of the Pokéathlon.
* HandsomeLech: He flirts with almost every woman he sees in ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal'' (and in one instance, he flirted with [[DudeLooksLikeALady Bugsy]]). He seemed to have stopped doing so in the ''Emerald'' chapter....but then gets right back to it in ''[=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=]''.
* HeroWorship: Wants to be just like Red, and trains with him on Mt. Silver for that purpose.
* HotBlooded: There were even flames in the background when he showed intense desire to beat up the Masked Man.
* IndyPloy: His are so blatant that mental objections fill the panel when he acts like he planned it all along.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He is ''very'' good with a Pool Cue.
** RequiredSecondaryPowers: For whatever reason, that cue is strong enough to shatter ice and [[spoiler: keep Lugia, a legendary Pokémon, from closing his mouth to use his breath attacks]].
* ISurrenderSuckers: Uses this a few times, first when fighting the Masked Man in Ilex Forest.
* ItAmusedMe: Outright said that this was his main motivation for his journeys: he doesn't do things for justice, he just wants to have fun. With that said, later events and his reactions to them call the truthfulness of this statement into question.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Aside from the pun, he's no different from his rival in this respect, but he usually means well and just wants to show off, and he has a deep love for Pokémon. That being said, he has semi-regular moments where he displays that he can be a major and unrepentant ass (the time where he nearly immolated Crystal which he had the audacity to laugh about, for one). In-universe, it is highlighted in HGSS that some people ''do'' regard him as little more than an unreliable trouble maker (Oak assigns him to the Pokéathlon only because Silver and Crystal weren't available, Mary outright says that about him).
* TheLeader: Headstrong type of the Johto Dex holders. [[DudeWheresMyRespect Sometimes.]]
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Any Pokémon hatched with Gold has the tendency to be just like him. This may range from appearance (like Pibu) or, far more unfortunately, [[TheTrickster his habits]] (Like Togetaro).
* TheNicknamer: 'Miss Prissy' to Crystal and 'Prissy Boy' to Ruby to name some.
* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Getting a piece of his hair snipped off by the monks' Bellsprout in Sprout Tower seemed to really set him off.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Goes on to give the police an inaccurate description of Silver just so no one else can be the one to catch him.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Can actually be quite clever, forming plans in times of need while playing dumb.
%%* PersonalityBloodTypes: B.
* PhraseCatcher: Whenever he brags about something, others will call him "Liar" behind his back.
** Doubly so [[BlatantLies every time he says]] [[IMeantToDoThat it was all according to plan]].
* RecurringElement: He has a few parallels to Red. For instance they both had Poliwhirl's but took different branched evolutions. They also had to win over the trust of the Pokémon Prof. to get their starter (a four legged Pokémon with it's special ability sprouting from its back). He also gets Sudowoodo on his team, a Pokémon known for blocking roadways like Red's Snorlax.
* StockShonenHero: To an extent - he's got many of the qualities, but he is portrayed in a much more negative light than usual for this trope.
* TsurimeEyes: Another case of them.
* UnclePennybags: Not as rich as Platinum Berlitz, but he is portrayed to have enough money to count as a literal rich idiot.
* WildHair: Whenever he takes his hat off, especially in ''[=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=]''.
* WowingCthulhu: Near the end of HGSS arc, it's all up him to stop Arceus [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity by showing the good in humanity.]]
* WrongAssumption: A minor example, where he assumes that Silver also stole the bag containing the Pokémon from his house after seeing him steal Totodile.
!!'''Gold's Pokémon'''
!!'''Aibo/Ataro (Ētarou)'''
One of the Pokémon that lived in Gold's home. He was originally the first and only Gold took on his journey until Gold realized he lost (and later retrieved) Polibo. Started out as an Aipom and later evolved when it learned Double Hit.
* PunnyName: Though entirely an English-version nickname, Aibo is Japanese for "Partner".
!!'''Exbo/Explotaro (Bakutarou)'''
A Typhlosion that Gold obtained as a Cyndaquil when it asked to join his team to rescue his Totodile friend that was stolen by Silver.
!!'''Polibo/Poltaro (Nyotarou)'''
A Politoed that was one of the Pokémon that lived in Gold's house since it was a Poliwag. After an incident involving Team Rocket, it was lost at sea but was later found and became a major part of his team. Gold initially intended for him to evolve into a Poliwrath like Red's but Polibo evolved into a Politoed after it was temporarily traded to Silver for his Seadra.
* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: The King's Rock is what caused Polibo to evolve once it was traded to Silver.
* BashBrothers: With Red's Poliwrath in ''Emerald''.
!!'''Sunbo/Sintaro (Kimatarou)'''
A Sunflora that Gold caught as a Sunkern. She evolved into a Sunflora during the battle against the Masked Man.
* EyesAlwaysShut: After evolution.
* GreenThumb: She’s Grass-type.
* PetalPower: Her head is a flower after evolving.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Only female member on Gold's team.
* SunnySunflowerDisposition: After evolution.
!!'''Sudobo/Utaro (Ūtarou)'''
A Sudowoodo that Gold saved from a Rhydon during a bike race he had with Whitney. After helping it, Gold accepted it onto his team.
* CowardlyLion: Is initially in hiding from a Rhydon in the area. When Gold convinces him to stand up to the Rhydon, however, he clobbers it.
!!'''Togebo/Togetaro (Togetarou)'''
A Togepi that Gold hatched from an egg. Due to a problem with connecting to Togebo, Gold went a while unable to evolve him. During the battle against Arceus, Gold managed to connect with Togebo, and he evolved into Togetic and Togekiss to stop the rampaging Pokémon.
* {{Flight}}: Once he evolves.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Is it any wonder that "The Breeder" would have an egg Pokémon?
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Gold's ability to make his hatched Pokémon like him turned a Pokémon that is known for bringing happiness into a gambling delinquent.
* OutOfFocus: Didn't get much focus in the GSC chapter after Gold caught Mantine and sent him to the PC. It's eventually deconstructed; Gold tends to leave Togebo out of battles because he doesn't think it's as strong as his other Pokémon, and this is why Togebo can't evolve. It's eventually remedied in the HG/SS chapter, where Togebo finally gets to evolve. (Twice, even!)
* TookALevelInBadass: As a Togepi, he was badass, but won most of his battles through pure luck or sneak attacks. Upon evolving twice, he became strong enough to face against Arceus and calm it down with a single attack. [[spoiler:Although he didn't actually hurt it.]]
!!'''Tibo/Mantaro (Mantarou) and Remoraid'''
A Mantine that Gold encountered after being sent flying into the sea. He quickly befriended the Pokémon and uses it in conjunction with Crystal's recently-captured Remoraid to enable it to fly.
* {{Flight}}: Achieves this with the Remoraid. Normally, the Mantine species cannot fly.
** {{Jetpack}}: His method of flight transportation for Gold.
* PutOnABus: Doesn't appear in the HGSS chapter at all.
!!'''Pibu (Pich)'''
A Pichu that hatched from an egg that was produced by Red's Pika and Yellow's Chuchu. Has wild hair like his Trainer.
* BadassAdorable: Pibu was the one that defeated Pryce using a Super Rising Thunder, what would eventually become the ultimate electric move, Volt Tackle. It did this MERE MINUTES AFTER IT WAS BORN.
* KidHero: The first thing it did after being born was beating the BigBad of the third arc.
* OutOfFocus: Not on Gold's main team in HGSS, but appears near the end assisting Celebi and the Spiky-Eared Pichu.
* PunnyName[=/=]LostInTranslation: Like Bull, Pibu is a nicknamed Pokémon who's name was not caught by any translators. When written in Japanese, Pich's name is only one character short from the Pichu's species name and would probably be considered a spelling error if not for [[AllThereInTheManual Netkun]].
* WildHair: Has his trainer's spiky hair.

[[quoteright:224:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/silver_hgss_adventures.png]]
The second hero and TheLancer of ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal''. He's an AntiHero and works in ways that aren't always very favorable. Has a [[DarkAndTroubledPast secret, dark past]], but is usually just a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. His first Pokémon is a Sneasel and his starter is a Totodile which he stole from the lab.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Silver's a {{Jerkass}} with no heroic actions in the games who only learns to trust and care for his Pokémon after being defeated and called out by Lance, but here, he's driven for vengeance for Green and himself and is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold from the start.
* AntiHero: He starts as an Unscrupulous Anti-Hero at first. While he does the things he does for an ultimately good cause (bringing Mask of Ice down), he's not above stealing or kidnapping Pokémon to accomplish his goals. However, he develops into a Disney Anti-Hero over time.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He's fairly confident in his skills and backs it up well.
* BerserkButton: You shouldn't don't do anything perverted to Green in front of him, as shown when Gold patted her butt.
* ChildProdigy: [[spoiler:He's able to teach Feraligatr Hydro Cannon from consciously watching the Hoenn dex holders practising their moves, a feat that ''none'' of the other dex holders, including his seniors, were able to accomplish. Apparently he got this from his father.]]
* TheComicallySerious: He comes across as a serious character in his early appearances...but then he saw his wanted poster. This is taken to hilarious levels when we find out at the end of the HGSS arc that [[spoiler: Silver is a fan of Proteam Omega, and seems fixated on staying at Gold's house just to catch its first airing on television. The only other main character who is known to be a fan of the show is ''Diamond''.]]
* CryCute: At the end of the GSC arc when he believed that Gold couldn't come back from his final battle with the Masked Man, as well as the FRLG when Blue convinces him to [[spoiler:look past his father's villainy and recognize how much Giovanni cared about him.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:The poor dear was kidnapped at two years old, which is how he met Green.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: Silver has been shown secretly working with Green during ''Yellow'', but wasn't introduced until ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal''
* EvilRedHead: Not really, just more of a jerk.
* FlungClothing: When he ditched the Team Rocket wardrobe Sird put on him.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As The Exchanger, his specialty is trading. As a bit of a lost in translation pun with his counterpart Green, (Exchanger and Evolver have similar pronouciations in Japanese) he also specializes in trade induced evolution as he's performed with Green, Blue, and Gold.
* HeroicBSOD: Sird's revelation that [[spoiler:his father is Giovanni]] hits him so hard that he looked ready to faint without the assistance of her Banette. After waking up, he felt dejected that his dreams of having a happy family would never work out with [[spoiler:the leader of Team Rocket.]]
* HiddenDepths: See TheComicallySerious.
* InstantExpert: Learned [[spoiler:Feraligtr's special move in less than a minute!]]

!!'''Crystal'''
!!! The Catcher/Capturer
->''"Capture complete!"''
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crystal_68.png]]
The third and last hero/ine of ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal''. Her name is usually shortened to Crys. Crystal stars in two books alone before teaming up with Silver and Gold. She was given a Pokédex after taking the job of catching Pokémon for Professor Oak so she can help the run down orphanage she's helping look after. Has caught all non-legendaries and is currently working as Oak's assistant. Her first Pokémon was a Smoochum named Chumee and starter is a Chikorita nicknamed Megaree. Each of her Pokémon have a star on them somewhere.
----
* TheAce: In regards to Pokémon catching. It says volumes of her skill that she legitimately managed to [[GottaCatchEmAll Catch 'Em All]], or at least every non-Legendary in Kanto, Johto, & Hoenn by ''Emerald''.
* AgeInappropriateDress: Her outfit in ''[=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=]''; forced on to her by [[ManChild her mother]].
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The camera focuses on her after Gold and Silver are defeated by the Mask of Ice. She goes on almost a two volume long solo adventure as The Hero of her own story before teaming up with the others.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Her mother is a loving, encouraging and competent, but she's flamboyant, hammy and painfully childish. She's also a Coordinator like [[CampStraight Ruby and Wallace]], which makes a painful amount of sense.
* BrainyBrunette: If you count her Emerald artwork, where her hair is a dark brown.
* CatchPhrase: "Capture complete!" in the Viz translation, "Capture done." in the Chuang Yi translation.
* TheCoatsAreOff: She does this quite a few times before ''[=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=]'', most notably when rescuing Bill's boat from a wild Flaafy and Dunsparce and while re-training herself at Mt. Mortar.
* CompositeCharacter: She wears Lyra's outfit from ''Pokémon [=HeartGold=] & [=SoulSilver=]''. [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute How ironic]].
* ContagiousHeroism: [[spoiler: Her selfless decision to undertake the completion of the Pokédex in exchange for massively upgrading the QOL of the orphanage she worked at inspired Emerald to become a dex holder himself.]]
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: She can be seen as one to Green. Despite both of them being introduced in the middle of the arc, their debut marking the third-version game of their respective gens, Green got her start by stealing a starter from Oak and is very roguish to boot. Meanwhile, Crystal got her start by helping Oak in his research and is very serious about it.
* CoolBigSis: To Emerald, the orphans, Ruby and Sapphire.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: She is already seen with 6 well-trained Pokémon in her debut, where her starter ironically becomes her 7th Pokémon.
* ExtremityExtremist: She uses her Poké Balls by kicking them at her targets, a habit she developed after injuring her arms while training her capturing skills.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As The Catcher, her specialty is capturing wild Pokémon. She has a unique way of using Poké Balls (kicking instead of throwing) and also becomes Oak's assistant like the player character in the game is supposed to be since she has the completed Dex.
* GirlishPigtails: Hers slant upwards. Unlike her eccentric mother, however, she's nowhere near childish.
* GottaCatchThemAll: Her original goal in ''Crystal'' before the plot with the Masked Man came back into focus, and she succeeds by ''Emerald''. [[SequelHook Sort of...]]. Heck, her specialty title is "Capturer".
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: When she fails to catch Suicune and understand it in ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal''.]] Her mother has to [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan slap her]] and she has to start training from scratch when she finally reboots.
* ItsPersonal: She feels obligated in stopping Team Rocket in HGSS arc, believing that that's what'll ensure kids a safe future.
* KickChick: She kicks her Poké Balls instead of throwing them, since she had broken her arms when training and had to improvise. Though she fully recovered from her injuries since then, she maintains the habit of kicking Poké Balls.
* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: Is a serious young girl [[FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter compared to her girlish mother]] as noted above, although they share the mood swing tendencies.
* ModestyShorts: Keeps her traveling biker shorts on under her scientist skirt.
* MoodSwinger: Usually a nice, cheerful person, but whenever catching is involved, she turns super serious and focused.
* OnlySaneWoman: Between her, [[TheGadfly Gold]], and [[TheStoic Silver]], she's the most responsible.
%%* PersonalityBloodTypes: A.
* ShipTease: With Silver, Emerald and Gold.
* SignificantName: Her birthday is at 30th of April, where her birthstone is crystal.
* SymbolMotifClothing: Every member of her Pokémon team has a star-shaped marking somewhere on its body or wears a star-shaped accessory.
* {{Tsundere}}: Downplayed. While she does tend to flip-flop between an easy-going demeanor and anger in Gold's case, these instances are generally caused by legitimate grievances over selfish (and occasionally ''dangerous'' things) he does (as in their trip to the Pokémon League, where he unapologetically almost caused her serious burns).
** Then played straight in the HG/SS arc as she kicked Gold everytime he tried to say something about her new clothes, without letting him finish the sentence.
!!'''Crystal's Pokémon'''
!!'''Chumee (Mupyon)'''

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Is seen wagging his tiny tail in happiness as a Chikorita
* BadassAdorable: As a Chikorita, he was perfectly willing to follow Crystal across the wilds of Johto. Just before he evolved into Bayleef, he headbutted a Larvitar that had previously fought Archy and grievously wounded him. It's this quality that convinces Crystal to accept him as a member of her team.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Based on a sauropod.
* GreenThumb: He's Grass-type.
* TheCallPutMeOnHold: Wanted to go on adventures like Elm's Cyndaquil and Totodile, but was left behind. When Crystal declined to take him in initially, he kicked Elm in the face and ran after her. Even when he found her, Crystal was still unwilling to take him in at first.

* PsychicPowers: She's a Psychic-type, and she can move things with its mind.
!!'''Parasee (Parapyon)'''
A Parasect that Crystal met after she was sent down a cliff from a wild Arcanine. She uses special spores made inside her body to inflict status inflictions on Pokémon, making them easier to capture. She has star patterns on her mushroom body.
* BlankWhiteEyes: Although the fact that the mushroom has taken over a Parasect's body is never brought up.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: She's part Bug-type, and it's comes to about Crystal's knees.
* CombatMedic: Can cure status effects and mix medicine using its spores.
* GreenThumb: She's part Grass-type, which is know for growing plant life.
!!'''Archy/Arckee (Winpyon)'''

* CanisMajor: A big, fiery dog.

!Allies
[[folder: Johto]]
!!'''Professor Elm'''
The Pokémon professor of the Johto region, Elm was unfortunate enough to be robbed of Totodile by Silver and could only watch as Gold took Cyndaquil to track him down.
* ButtMonkey: To a lesser extent than Bill, though.
!!'''Falkner'''
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/falkner_gsc_adventures_9.png]]
First appearing as a police officer, Falkner befriends Gold who helps him catch a Skarmory. He later uses it to pass the Gym Leader exam and becomes the Leader of the Violet City Gym. Looks up to his father (implied to be Walker, an old friend of Chuck's), who was a policeman.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the games, Falkner is considered to be one of the weakest Gym Leaders in the series. In the manga, Falkner is one of the stronger Gym Leaders from Johto and comes much closer than the others to catching Suicune. When the Team Rocket members invaded the Indigo Plateau, while most of the Gym Leaders fought them off using their Pokémon, Falkner is one of the few who confront the Rockets directly, as he can be seen tackling a Rocket to the ground.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Janine. They share a mutual respect due to both having father issues.
* BlowYouAway: Specializes in Flying-type Pokémon.
* CompositeCharacter: Falkner was the same policeman who investigated Professor Elm's lab.
%%* FairCop

* DudeLooksLikeALady: His first appearance has Gold mistaking him for a girl and flirting with him.
* SignatureMon: Heracross.
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Gold first mistakes Bugsy for a girl and asks him out.
!!'''Whitney'''
A somewhat childish Gym Leader who specializes in Normal-types, Whitney is the only Gym Leader aside from Pryce who Suicune doesn't challenge. She sometimes helps her good friend DJ Mary on radio shows.
* AdaptationalWimp: She's notorious for being ThatOneBoss in the games, but is one of the weakest Gym Leaders here, to the point that Suicune doesn't even bother with her when he's looking for a leader to be his partner.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She shows a surprising amount of skill when battling the fake ice Suicune.
* CurbStompBattle: She is the receiving end of this as Misty defeats her rather easily in only a few pages, which is kind of sad as the other Gym Leader battles took at least a chapter. Well, Suicune didn't bother with her for a reason...not to mention [[spoiler: it chose Misty as its partner as well.]]
* {{Fangirl}}: She seems to have a fangirl crush for Bruno by the end of the ''[=HeartGold=]/[=SoulSilver=]'' chapter. At the end of this one when we see her with a poster of his on her room and sending him Rage Candy Bars.

* HappilyMarried: He is seen living happily with his wife.
* LargeHam: Subdued when not fighting, but when he ''does'' fight...
* SignatureMon: Hitmontop.

The Olivine City Gym Leader who was caught in Ecruteak City earthquake, she had to save herself because Gold and Silver were too busy fighting over who would save ''her''. She specializes in the Steel-type, though she has other types on her team. Her part-time job is looking after the Sparkle Lighthouse.
* ExtraOreDinary: Specializes in Steel-type Pokémon.
* ShrinkingViolet: She doesn't really like showing off her abilities as a fighter to the public. Notably, she hid her Steelix by covering its body in a rock covering to make people think it was just an odd-looking Onix not because she wanted an advantage in her match with Brock, but because she didn't want her Steelix to receive undue attention for being one of the first recorded cases of proof for an Onix being able to evolve.

* AllThereInTheManual: Her name was revealed by [=PokéSPedia=].

* MoodSwinger: Much like her daughter, she has an intense, serious side to her.

* ButtMonkey: Especially in the HGSS arc.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of Suicune.

* KickTheDog: He tells Gold that Pokémon are just weapons to him. [[spoiler:Subverted when as Pryce, he tells Gold that he lied and that Pokémon are to be loved.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: He is arguably one of the darkest villains in the series. [[spoiler:He kidnapped and and brainwashed six children (one of whom was only a toddler) into wearing masks and doing his bidding.]] He also is one of the most terrifying looking characters in the series, and was thought to be AmbiguouslyHuman for most of the arc.

** [[spoiler:In a flashback before the FRLG chapter, he seems really sad about Silver and Green leaving him. Hell, he even made an ice statue of himself with the six "children" together ''as a family''!
