History Characters / PokemonAnimeOriginalSeriesCast

[[center:[[WMG:''[[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon anime]]'' [[Characters/PokemonAnime characters index]]\\

* {{Yandere}}: It's the most likely explanation as to why Croagunk attacks Brock whenever he flirts with officer Jenny and nurse Joy. When Croagunk and Brock's compatibility rating was shown, it was equal to Ash and Pikachu's in only a few days.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Considering that we've had Satoshi and Shigeru, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Yamauchi Hiroshi would ring a bell, especially for old-time Nintendo fans since the 1990s.]]

* TheDitz: She's cute but not too bright, as you can clearly see from this line in a ''Chronicles'' episode:
--->'''Georgio''': Are you crazy?!?\\
'''Casey''': Just crazy enough to knock that pointy little head of yours in the next Tuesday!

* BetweenMyLegs: In the episode "Forest Grumps" her legs are used as framing during her stand-off with James and Meowth.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the games was not a {{tsundere}}, or as feisty. Sequels released after the anime sometimes make nods to her temperament, however.
* AdaptationalWimp: Initially Misty was not a gym leader proper, and while not incompetent per se, was prone to arrogance and making errors in battle. By the end of Johto she has matured enough to take role in Cerulean Gym, to the point that she is arguably an AdaptationalBadass by the time of her return in ''Sun and Moon'', where she has even gained the use of Mega Evolution.

* ActionGirl: Played with. The creators state that Misty was intended to look fairly inexperienced [[KnowNothingKnowItAll despite her bluster]]. In the show itself, however, while she is often more of a novice than she'll admit, she is usually reasonably capable.

* CharacterTic: [[MeaningfulName Puffing up]] whenever upset, with an audible "honk".

* {{Foil}}: To Ash himself, right down to the similarity of his team. If anything, Ritchie shows himself to be a more positive version of Ash if the latter were less bratty, more grounded, and actually took training seriously. As shown later on in the series with Ash's character through his journeys throughout the Johto, Honnen, Sinnoh, and Kalos regions, both of them are NotSoDifferent from each other.

* DishingOutDirt: Cruise, a Rock and Ground-type Pupitar. It also knows Sandstorm.

* {{Expy}}: Of Ash himself, right down to the similarity of his team.
%%* FriendlyRivalry: With Ash during the Indigo League. See NiceGuy for more detail.

* ShoutOut: Considering that we've had Satoshi and Shigeru, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Yamauchi Hiroshi would ring a bell, especially for old-time Nintendo fans since the 1990s.]]

* TimeTravelEscape: In one episode of ''Pokémon Chronicles'', he goes back in time with help from Celebi to save Nurse Joy's friend Nick and succeeds in not only saving him, but a Pokemon Center that was going to be demolished.

The youngest of four sisters, she hasn't been blessed with her sisters' looks or charisma (at in the opinion of her sisters). However, she got all of the talent at battling and being snarky. Originally rather temperamental with a crush on Ash that she covered with strong {{Tsundere}} tendencies; after acquiring Togepi - an infant Pokémon requiring a great deal of care - she calmed down considerably. At the end of Johto, she became her city's Gym Leader, but she has still occasionally reunited with Ash since then. An aspiring Water Master.

* TheBusCameBack: Makes a return in the 2019 series to have a match with Leon in Galar, after last appearing over ''700'' episodes ago.

Professor Ivy lives in the Orange Islands. She was introduced for little more reason than to give the [[{{MacGuffin}} GS Ball]] to Ash. Brock also stays with her at her lab temporarily, and returns traumatized by whatever happened between them. Ivy studies regional differences in Pokémon physiology.

* NoodleIncident: Nobody knows why Brock was so uneasy talking about her or what made him go. He certainly hasn’t told.

%%* DishingOutDirt: Golem, Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

* DubPersonalityChange: In original Japanese version, Gary is more of a [[FriendlyRivalry mildly antagonistic rival]] to Ash, and is respected by Ash's companions. The dub amplifies his antagonism and obnoxiousness towards Ash, and subsequently has less respect from his peers. This makes him more in-line with his game counterpart, Blue.

* CreepyChild: Even in her youth, she tried to control James.
** Its heavely implied that she already began abusing and manipulating James as a child. His remark after she tried to hit him with a whip and paralize him is "This is just like last time!".

%%* EvilRedhead: Maybe.
%%* GoldDigger: Possibly the reason she wants to marry James is for his family's money.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To James, simply because his parents forced him to marry her and he'd rather be with Jessie.

* MeaningfulName: Jessebelle is essentially a fancy-sounding name for the idiom ''Jezebel'' which is a term for an evil, scheming woman. Pretty fitting. Ahe's also a SouthernBelle version of Jessie.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Most of them, but especially the Jennies in "Pokémon Emergency!" and "Spinarak Attack". The former even gives Ash a free ride to the Pokémon Center when she sees that Pikachu is badly injured and urgently needs medical care.

* DittoFighter: She owns two Ditto.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Knows Hyper Beam, to devastating effect.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Nidoqueen's Hyper Beam.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Dragonite and Gyarados' Hyper Beam.

* {{Forgiveness}}: After having her bike got destroyed accidentally by Ash's Pikachu Thundershock attacked when his Trainer borrowed it to save his life, Misty followed Ash until he payed her back for her bike. However, due to being with Ash for so long and come to see him as a friend, Misty had not only come to understand that her bike getting destroyed wasn't on purpose but also forgives him.
