History Characters / PokemonAnimeOriginalSeriesCast

* CanineCompanion: The most common pokemon used by them are the regional dog of whatever region they're in, especially Growlithe, who acts like a police dog. However, the ones in Sinnoh use Stunky, and the ones in Alola use Gumshoos.

* PoorPredictableRock: Most Jennies use the same Pokémon in a given region, though there are exceptions like Luxray to Gastly.

* SmellySkunk: Jennys in Sinnoh use Stunky.

* CanineCompanion: The most common pokemon used by them are the regional dog of whatever region they're in, especially Growlithe, who acts like a police dog. However, the ones in Sinnoh use Stunky, and the ones in Alola use Gumshoose.

* CanineCompanion: The most common pokemon used by them are the regional dog of whatever region they're in, especially Growlithe, who acts like a police dog.

* PutOnABus: Left at the Cerulean Gym near the end of the Indigo season. Misty reclaimed it later as the new Gym Leader.

* NoodleIncident: Nobody knows why Brock is terrified of her these days. He's certainly not telling.

* AdaptationalCurves: In the Anime and Pokémon Puzzle League for the N64. See HotterAndSexier below.

-->'''Holly:''' "I'm sorry, but I'm just not interested in younger men."

* SpannerInTheWorks: It's random interruptions to sing at everyone sometimes come right at the climax of Team Rocket or another antagonists' schemes. One such accidental sabotage was the reason Ash and Misty ended up stranded on the Orange Islands.

* AmbiguousSituation: It is unclear whether or not Mimey counts as one of Ash's Pokemon. He is never shown catching it on-screen and it spends all it's time with his mother, being more of an honorary family member than anything, but in the new series Ash is shown to be in ownership of it's Pokeball and [[AllThereInTheManual some]] [[https://www.pokemon.jp/special/satoshi_pokemon/pm/ Japanese supplementary materials]] actually list it as one of his Pokemon. At any rate, Mimey seems to be under the "ownership" of the Ketchum household as a whole.

* GuestStarPartyMember: Essentially this during both his two-parter appearances.

* MakingASplash: The water-type Red Gyarados.

* OneshotCharacter: The only member of the Kanto Elite Four to avert this as he actually appeared in about 4 episodes. He's set to return in the 2019 series where he goes to the Galar region to face off against Leon.
* RecurringCharacter: Unlike the other Elite Four members mentioned here he actually appeared in more than one episode (granted only four episodes so far, but still).

* DubPersonalityChange: The 4kids-era English dub episodes downplay some of her AdaptationalJerkass by toning down her narcissism compared to the Japanese version, though she remains more arrogant and hotheaded at times. She also isn't as narcissistic as she is in Japan and doesn't call her Pokémon "beauties" or "steadies".

* HypocriticalHumor: She lambasted Ash regularly for his poor training, despite Togepi and Psyduck being just as poor under her handling, relying on dumb luck with either of them using their abilities effectively. She is equally bad taking her level of criticism back, the first time Ash called her out on this in the latter's case, she threatened him quiet in frustration.

* OneshotCharacter: The only member of the Kanto Elite Four to avert this as he actually appeared in about 4 episodes.

* InformedAttribute: Her character description depicts her as being a {{Tomboy}}. However, most of Misty's interests and hobbies generally fall into the typical feminine category like obsessing over fashion, romance, and beauty. In fact, the main reason she likes Water-Type Pokemon is because of their cute appearance and not much else. She also has a fear of insects, which is generally a trait that is used for most female characters.

** Misty is right to get angry with Ash some of the time, especially since he did destroy her bike which probably costs a lot of money in the Pokémon world. Also, Ash can be a jerk to her too.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Never seen again until a cameo in ''Sun and Moon''.

* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Has its' face doodled on by Samson Oak's Komala in [=SM057=], although Jigglypuff thought it was ActuallyPrettyFunny.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Thus far the only Pokémon (or living being...or much ''anything'') that has managed to neutralise the otherwise unstoppable Bewear stalking Team Rocket.

* TheDreaded: PlayedForLaughs. After a while, Ash and his pals become ''terrified'' when this little critter shows up, because they know exactly what it's about to do to them. In its one appearance in Hoenn, Ash, Brock and Pikachu all have "ThisIsGonnaSuck" reactions when they see it again and keep trying to warn May and Max that its presence is ''not'' as fun as it seems. In [=SM057=], however, it finally makes friends with Ash and co., with Ash now being excited to see it again someday.

* FaceDoodling: Resorts to doing this to its sleeping victims whenever angered. [[spoiler:It ends up on the receiving end of this by Komala in [=SM057=], but it likes the doodles and finally makes peace with Ash and friends.]]

* RecurringCharacter: Was a frequent RunningGag through Kanto to Johto in the original series. She made one reappearance in Hoenn and had a long absence, though has returned to making regular appearances in Alola.

* SpannerInTheWorks: It's random interruptions to sing at everyone sometimes come right at climax of Team Rocket or another antagonists' schemes. One such accidental sabotage was the reason Ash and Misty ended up stranded on the Orange Islands.

* AmbiguousSituation: It is unclear wether or not Mimey counts as one of Ash's Pokemon. He is never shown catching it on-screen and it spends all it's time with his mother, being more of an honorary family member than anything, but in the new series Ash is shown to be in ownership of it's Pokeball and [[AllThereInTheManual some]] [[https://www.pokemon.jp/special/satoshi_pokemon/pm/ Japanese supplementary materials]] actually list it as one of his Pokemon. At any rate, Mimey seems to be under the "ownership" of the Ketchum household as a whole.

* BattleButler: Well, what else can we call Mimey? A powerful Psychic-type that just randomly appeared at her door, and now it's part of the family, helping keep house.

* PsychicPowers: Being a Mr Mime, he battles with Psychic-type attacks.

* ButtMonkey: Somewhat. He seems to get attacked by the Pokémon he looks after. He got attacked by Ash’s (then) Aipom, his Bayleef, and a clip of the Japanese version of the 2019 anime shows him getting attacked by a Sylveon.

* EarlyBirdCameo: A very literal example, too. Ho-Oh appeared over a year before Pokémon Gold and Silver were released, and in fact its' appearance was the ''very'' first hint that the franchise would continue.

* MeaningfulName: Jessebelle is essentially a fancy-sounding name for the idiom ''Jezebel'' which is a term for an evil, scheming woman. Pretty fitting.

* BerserkButton: She is easily angered when someone talks bad about the Electabuzz baseball team.
** Or when someone wants to get revenge on one of her friends. She thought that Georgio was going to hurt Misty, and was protective of her.

** Or, as shown below, when someone wants to hurt her friends.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Casey is at times arrogant and stubborn, she still cares for her friends, as shown in "A Date With Delcatty" when she gets angry at a young boy named Georgio because she thinks he wants revenge on Misty.

'''Casey''': Just crazy enough to knock that pointy little head of yours in the next Thursday!

[[OnlyOneName No last name given]]. Originally the fearsome Pewter City Gym Leader (which he still runs every now and then), he left to travel with Ash on his journey. Eldest of 10 kids, which he [[PromotionToParent had to raise on his own]] for almost two years after [[ParentalAbandonment his parents left]]. He served as a mentor to Ash for a while before turning into a sort of older brother character, before heading off on his own to fulfill his dream of being a Pokémon Doctor after traveling Sinnoh.
