Added DiffLines:

* DarkAndTroubledPast: He briefly alludes to "something painful or heartbreaking" happening several times in his life, which made him wonder why life was so unfair. His InnerMonologue in ''Masters'' may imply that his current, [[TheSociopath ruthlessly manipulative]] self came about after ''he'' was manipulated at some point.
-->'''Volo:''' (Forming a connection with someone... In the end, it's just a matter of using them before they use you.)


Added DiffLines:

* DubNameChange: Not Volo himself, but his Trainer class. In Japanese, "Pokémon Wielder" is simply ポケモンつかい ''pokemon tsukai'', literally "Pokémon User" but more figuratively "Pokémon Tamer" or "Pokémon Handler". This is in contrast to Pokémon Trainers, which are ポケモントレーナー ''pokemon torēnā''; presumably, that term didn't exist yet, as nobody in ''Legends Arceus'' uses it.
* DubPersonalityChange: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He's still after the same overall goal in the original Japanese, but he speaks [[FauxAffablyEvil much more politely]] even after TheReveal (albeit [[SuddenlyShouting with "shouting" text boxes]]). He only becomes ''truly'' deranged after he loses.
-->'''Volo (Japanese):''' If you would stop the world from disappearing, then battle against me! Although, even if you don't have that in mind, I'll still challenge you so I can take the plates, alright?\\
'''Volo (English):''' If you want to keep this world from disappearing, then face me in battle! Not that you have a choice. Even if you don't wish to battle me, I'm not above using force to take those plates from you.


Added DiffLines:

** To the player, in a roundabout sense. TheHero of a ''Pokémon'' game always captures and controls [[OlympusMons incredibly powerful Legendary Pokémon]] by the end of the game, then typically uses it to defeat a villainous team or avert disaster in a way that makes the world a better place. Volo is essentially trying to ''force'' the same thing, seeking to capture and control Arceus so he can RestartTheWorld.

* SinkOrSwimMentor: Because the professor praised your skills at catching them, the first thing she puts you through is a test that, if you fail, you will be expelled from the village and likely will die without shelter, food, and protection from angry hostile Pokemon who'll maul you.

It's noted by other characters that capturing multiple pokemon is considered genuinely difficult at this time, since they have so little practice with using poke balls.


* SinkOrSwimMentor: The first thing she puts you through is a test that, if you fail, you will be expelled from the village and likely will die without shelter, food, and protection from angry hostile Pokemon who'll maul you. It's implied to be subverted, as the test itself is basically impossible to fail and it's one of many cases where Cyllene bends the rules to make sure you don't get thrown out of the village.

* {{Jerkass}}: She's especially unpleasant compared to her "sisters". While Charm slowly grows to respect the player and Clover seems to put a tough front to compensate for her self-esteem, Coin remains quite rude, abrasive and willing to battle. Fitting, considering that her implied descendant is an admin of a villainous team, rather than a League figure like Charm's and Clover's.
