History Characters / PokemonRubyAndSapphire

** Her actions in the Delta Episode are questionable, such as stealing other Trainers' Key Stones, and more so when you learn [[spoiler:she assisted Team Aqua[=/=]Magma in their hopes to awaken Kyogre[=/=]Groudon]], but she only wanted to summon Rayquaza.

* BreakTheHaughty: Falls into a slump of despair when her attempt to Mega Evolve Rayquaza fails.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite the below HypocriteHasAPoint, it goes deeper than that. [[spoiler:She may be right in calling out Steven and Prof. Cozmo for their plan to use Infinity Energy to warp the meteor, as she believes it would make them no different than AZ using his lifeforce-powered weapon three millennia ago, and that they may inadvertently doom the people of another timeline that diverged from the Kalos war. However, when you consider the fact that she joined Team Aqua[=/=]Magma hoping to awaken Kyogre[=/=]Groudon, in the hope Rayquaza would notice and awaken, as well as seeing the failure merely as a setback, she doesn't necessarily have the moral high ground to call anyone out.]]
* HypocriteHasAPoint: As hypocritical as she is, Zinnia did have some point in that the Space Center's methods were unknowingly going to have massive consequences, and she expresses it through mockery and SarcasticClapping.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She tends to mock several people throughout the Delta Episode, but has a soft spot for both the player and Aster.

* BeYourself: In ''Masters'', she tells the player she felt a lot of pressure trying to live up to her grandfather's legacy as he was an Elite Four member, though the problem was that she was "running in circles." When she noticed her Torkoal's slow careful approach in collecting coal to turn into energy, she realized she had to be herself instead of trying too hard.

* GirlinessUpgrade: In ''Ruby and Sapphire'', she wore a red and navy blue collared shirt with a white skirt over her navy blue bicycle shorts, navy blue and white gloves, shoes with black socks, and a bandanna. Her hair tips were quite angular as well to complete her tomboyish look. Her ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'' redesign gives her a red and black tank top, white shorts over black bicycle shorts, ditches the gloves, and replaces the full head bandanna for something more akin to a bow with her hair tips becoming more curved.

* TheCameo: In the Battle Maison of ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'', a suited man working for Scott mentions that he's scouted the Pike Queen, foreshadowing Lucy's future role in the under-construction Battle Frontier. A blonde woman in the Maison also mentions that the player's presence is making her Seviper shiver, though it's not quite clear if she's supposed to be Lucy.

* OlderAndWiser: [[spoiler: She's more expressive and less creepy after ten years had passed by in ''Sun And Moon''.]]

* CoatCape: Has one in Gen VI Sugimori art.

* SleevesAreForWimps: Her Gen VI artwork shows this under her CoatCape.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Like Flannery, his sprite in ''Ruby, Sapphire'' ad ''Emerald'' portrayed him being [[PerpetualFrowner bitter]] and [[HairTriggerTemper angry]] all the time ([[OffModel not even matching his official art]]), despite encounters with him in the games usually showing otherwise. This was corrected in the remakes.

A family of trainers living on Route 111. They challenge passers-by to a gauntlet of battles against each member. After you defeat them, they reward you with the Macho Brace. The family consists of Victor, the father; Victoria, the mother; Vivi, the daughter; and Vicky, the grandmother.

* ArtificialBrilliance: Vicky, courtesy of effectively being an [[EliteMooks Expert]] (the Hoenn equivalent of a Veteran). [[spoiler:As well as Vito, who is a Cooltrainer, or the equivalent class of Ace Trainer in the case of the remakes]].

** [[spoiler:Some translations, such as Spanish, German and Italian, failed to catch on that Cooltrainer Vito was the last Winstrate, and thus gave him names that don't match the other members' ThemeNaming]].

* MythologyGag: An elaborate one to [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue the first generation]]. The way you fight the Winstrates in quick succession mirrors that of the Elite Four. However, [[spoiler:there's a fifth Winstrate, even stronger than the rest: Cooltrainer Vito, found in Victory Road; much like there's a Champion after the Elite Four, who is stronger than them. In Generation I, the existence of the Champion wasn't established until you defeated the Elite Four; similarly, the Winstrates only tell you about a fifth member after you defeat them, and you don't actually meet him until the end of the game]].

The family consists of Victor, the father; Victoria, the mother; Vivi, the daughter; and Vicky, the grandmother. The last is Vito, the son, who is not at home as he has left on a journey; he's eventually met in Victory Road.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[spoiler:Losing to you damages Vito's confidence, causing him to consider whether he should return home]].

* BadassFamily: A family of trainers who challenge you to defeat them in successive battles. [[spoiler:Vito is even stronger than the rest of his family, having made it all the way to Victory Road]].

* EliteMooks: Vicky is essentially an Expert (Hoenn's version of a Veteran), complete with the [[ArtificialBrilliance enhanced AI]] that entails. [[spoiler:Vito is a Cooltrainer, or the equivalent Ace Trainer in the remakes, to virtually the same effect]].

* SoreLoser: While her parents compliment you for your skills, Vivi cries after being defeated. [[spoiler:Vito isn't that much better, getting bummed enough to want to go home after losing to you]].
* ThemeNaming: All of their names start with the letter V, and are a play on the word "victory". [[spoiler: This includes Vito, the fifth member who is met, rather appropriately, in ''Victory'' Road]].
* WomenAreWiser: Victor, the only man in the family, is also the weakest member. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], however, once you meet Vito, Victor's son and the family's strongest trainer]].

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[spoiler: Losing to you damages Vito's confidence, causing him to consider whether he should return home]].

* OppositesAttract: Non-romantic example. In ''Pokémon Masters'', he forms a Sync Pair with a wayward Blacephalon, who happens to drop in while Wallace is training with Milotic. The Blacephalon becomes so enamored with Wallace's water show that its own potential convinces Wallace to take it when its Ultra Wormhole closes, despite the fact it's a Fire-type when Waller is a Water-type specialist (which is lampshaded).

* CoolUncle: To Lisia, who he took under his wing as his apprentice since her mother — who is also Wallace's older sister — was very sickly.

* OppositesAttract: Non-romantinc example. In ''Pokémon Masters'', he forms a Sync Pair with a wayward Blacephalon, who happened to drop in while Wallace was training with Milotic. The Blacephalon became endeared with Wallace's water show that its own potential convinced Wallace to take it when its Ultra Wormhole closed, despite the fact it's a Fire-type (which is pointed out).

* {{Nerf}}: His gym's signature move in RSE was Facade, a move with 70 base power that [[SituationalSword doubled if the user had a status affliction]], which was later even improved to negate the attack lowering properties of burn. In ORAS the move was switched to Retaliate, a move that's about as strong but instead grew stronger the turn after one of his pokemon faints. This makes it much easier to cripple his team with paralysis or grind him down with poison, though burns are a little too unreliable at this point in the game since fire types are rare, mostly weak this early and you won't have Will O Wisp yet.

* SkippableBoss: It's possible to successfully navigate Hoenn without having to fight her. However, you'll still need her Gym Badge to gain access to the Elite Four. Averted in the remakes, where [[{{NPC Roadblock}} an NPC will prevent you from proceeding]] until you've got her badge.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Wallace and Wally, who are both green-haired dudes dressed in white introduced in Generation III; even their Japanese names — Mikuri and Mitsuru — are similar. Despite their similarities, no games have yet deigned to notice.

* SoreLoser: The Melancholy Wally Story Event in ''Pokémon Masters'' has him obsessed with the idea of getting stronger to win that he utterly forgets to take into account his Gardevoir's feelings that it leaves his side, until he realizes through Noland teaching new trainers about battles that, even though a trainer may lose, there is still fun to be had even after losing, which makes Wally realize that he used to have fun while losing when he first started out as a trainer.

* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The brawn to Winona's beauty and Roxanne's brains. She's a HotBlooded FieryRedhead who can rain hell on unprepared trainers with [[JustForPun hellishly]] powerful "hot moves".

* FieryRedhead: She's easily excitable and very enthusiastic about being a gym leader. Plus she's [[JustForPun a Fire-type trainer]].

* {{Catchphrase}}: In ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'', whenever Brendan tries to describe his emotions, he nearly always starts with "It's, [[LikeIsLikeAComma like]], I don't know...".

-->'''Brendan:''' [[{{Catchphrase}} It's like, I don't know....]]

* {{Bokukko}}: Uses the masculine pronoun ''boku'', which is usually reserved for boys.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SteveKramer ([[VideoGame/PokemonMasters Pokémon Masters]] - EN), Masaharu Satou ([[VideoGame/PokemonMasters Pokémon Masters]] - JP)

* CallForward: One line she says references and Zekrom.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Big Maniac Felix, the Bug-type expert.

* ChickMagnet: No matter if you're neutral, evil, or super old, the girls ([[EvenTheGuysWantHim and some guys]]) keep commenting on his looks.

* DragonTamer: In ''Masters'', for the game's second anniversary, he forms a sync pair with a Shiny variant of the Dragon/Flying-type Rayquaza that can Mega Evolve.

* TheCameo: In the Battle Maison of ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'', a suited man working for Scott mentions that he's scouted the Pike Queen, foreshadowing Lucy's future role in the under-construction Battle Frontier. A blonde woman in the Chateau also mentions that the player's presence is making her Seviper shiver, though it's not quite clear if she's supposed to be Lucy.
