* Chekhov's Gunman: [[spoiler: She is the one to inform the player about Aegislash X during the events of pass 4.]]

* HeroesWantRedheads: Alice will always fall in love with Kay, no matter if she is the PlayerCharacter or TheRival.

* RoseHairedSweetie: Alice. For bonus points, if she is TheRival [[HeroesWantRedheads she will have a crush on the Player Character]].

* APoisonousPerson: Naturally.

* AGodIAm: To be fair, it used to be a god before he broke into Luxflon and Dragalisk. When Dragalisk reunited with its missing half during the final battle, it caused Vakuum's mind to be recreated and to persist after the division, prompting it to start a quest to recover its full power once again.

* AccidentalTruth: [[spoiler: She tries to claim that reason the protagonist hasn't seen their DisappearedDad for so long is because he's been too busy with to visit in order to hide the fact that he's been missing for years. This ultimately winds up being true: she just didn't know that his "job" was leading Team Dimension.]]

The Pokémon Storage System Developer of Eldiw's region.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Implied. He doesn't look like a professional computer expert and inventor at first glance.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: He has brown eyes and hair.
* GadgeteerGenius: He is the inventor and the maintenance man of the WES System. He also created the Pokémon Transfer and the Updates that allow the Player Character to evolve these Pokémon who would normally evolve only via trade.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xenoverse_will.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Will]]


A group of ghost hunters and firefighters the PlayerCharacter meets in Westar City.

* ArtificialLimbs: Buster's cannons are actually prostheses Chrysler created to replace his original ones. [[spoiler: This modification doesn't stop him to acquire a Mega Evolution during the second event of Furious Battles.]]
* BadassCrew: They are a group of pretty strong trainers who are called whenever there is some kind of emergency in Eldiw's region.
* BadassInDistress: All of them at some point will need the PlayerCharacter's help because the menace they are dealing with is endangering them.
* CowardlyLion: Will. Which is kinda justified, considering that he is the son of the former leader who joined the team recently.
* IdenticalStranger: Chrysler is TheSmartGuy and he looks so similar to Sophocles from [[{{VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon}} Pokémon Sun and Moon]] they could be twins separated at birth. However, Sophocles exists in this universe and [[ItsASmallNetAfterAll he and Chrysler are online friends and collaborators]].
* IfIDoNotReturn: Inside one of the rooms of their headquarters there is a letter from [[DeadManWriting Will's father]] addressed to Minta, in which he asks her to take care of his son in case he didn't survive the dangerous last mission he was walking into.
* LegacyCharacter: Will, InUniverse. He is a member of G.E.I.S.T. because his late father was their original leader and founder. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome However]], Will is still learning how to be an effective member of the team, and the role of leader was taken by the former lancer Minta.
* MakingASplash: Minta's team consists of Water-type Pokémon.
* MythologyGag: Each one of them has a Kantonian Starter or one of their evolutions on their team: Minta has a [[MakingASplash Blastoise]], [[PlayingWithFire Saul]] has a Charmeleon that evolves into a Charizard in the post-game rematch, Will has a [[GreenThumb Bulbasaur]] and Chrysler has a [[ShockAndAwe Pikachu]].
* PlayingWithFire: Saul's team consists of Fire-type Pokémon, [[spoiler: and he will give the Player Character a Croakling if it wasn't chosen in Aster's Laboratory]].
* SecretArt: Chrysler can teach the move Thunderstruck to every Raichu the Player Character will bring to him. [[spoiler: Teaching the move to a Vintage Raichu will cause its evolution into Gorochu.]]
* ShoutOut: To Ghost Busters.
* ShrinkingViolet: Will is a rare male example.
* SmokingIsCool: Salem smokes a cigarette in his battle artwork.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Minta is the only girl in the group.
* SignatureMon: Minta is never seen without her partner, Blaster the Blastoise.
* SixthRanger: [[spoiler: Revolver, a former Team Dimension recruit who Chrysler modified to help them with their fire fighting and ghost hunting shenanigans.]]
* WhoYouGonnaCall: After their introduction, there is a pretty high chance the PlayerCharacter will see a couple of their members or the entire group helping to deal with the Pokémon X. The first time it happens Minta complains that dealing with that kind of Pokémon [[LampshadeHanging is not supposed to be their field of expertise]].

[[folder:Ruta]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xenoverse_ruta.png]]

A strange boy Kay/Alice met when he/she arrived at Cluster Jungle. He's the son of the Cardinal Chua. [[spoiler: Deep down, he was sad that his father was always working at Shyleon Temple and never had time for him]]. [[spoiler: Not only their relationship got better, but Chua appoints Ruta his successor as Cardinal after the end of Furious Battles.]].

* ABoyAndHisX: A [[WildChild wild boy]] and his Decidueye.
* GreenThumb: His Decidueye, natch. [[spoiler: His post-game team also happens to lean towards a Grass-type specialty, and he's also the one to give you a Chiripe if you don't choose it in Aster's Laboratory]].
* HotBlooded: A fairly emotional guy, which often leads to him rushing into things without thinking.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He makes clear from the start that he's planning some sort of nasty prank at the player's expense, [[spoiler: But he also was only doing it to gain his father's attention, is quick to understand when the situation goes south, and comes clean about what he wanted to do and takes full responsibility for it, showing himself as an ultimately good kid]].
* ParentalNeglect: [[spoiler: According to Ruta, Chua was always busy working at Shyleon Temple, which caused him to not have a chance to spend time with his son]]. [[spoiler: Their relationship eventually improves and Chua appoints Ruta his successor as Cardinal]].
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: He tried to persuade the Temple Sentinels to let him and Kay/Alice through by stating that he's the son of Chua. It didn't work, as the sentinels [[spoiler: were BrainwashedAndCrazy at that time]]. [[spoiler: The fact Chua appointed him Cardinal after his retirement at the end of Furious Battles might be a sign he grew out of it.]]
* SignatureMon: His Decidueye follows him wherever he goes. [[spoiler: It was Ruta's primary friend as Chua [[ParentalNeglect didn't have any time for his son]]]].
* WellDoneSonGuy: His dialogues suggest that wanting Chua to notice him was a significant part of the reason why [[spoiler: he wanted to investigate the strange occurrence at Shyleon Temple]], [[spoiler: which was in truth a Team Dimension takeover of the temple]]. [[spoiler: He finally got the ultimate proof his father respects him at the end of the game, when Chua decides to retire as a Cardinal leaving him the position.]]
* WildChild: For starters, he has messy hair filled with leaves, and seems to spend most of his time hanging around a jungle with his Decidueye. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], however, in that he's not particularly out of touch with human customs, speaks perfectly, and acts mostly like a normal kid, jungle-dwelling aside.
* WildHair: So wild that on top of being messy and spiky, there's ''a wooden branch'' stuck inside. [[spoiler: They remain exactly the same even after he becomes one of Eldiw's new Cardinals.]]

[[folder:The Fury (Spoilers)]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xenoverse_vakuum.png]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xenoverse_vakuum_pokemon.png]]

The mysterious entity behind the phenomenon of the Fury Pokémon. It is actually Vakuum, brought back to life during the final battle in the Xenoverse, who is now plotting to return to its full power with the Player Character's help.

* BackFromTheDead: Vakuum's death caused the universe as we know it to be born, along with Luxflon, Dragalisk and the Starter Pokémon; Dragalisk trying to combine itself with Luxflon again accidentally caused Vakuum to be back to life, even if it still misses part of its original power.
* BlowYouAway: As a trainer, it primarily uses the [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVCobalionToGenesect Forces of Nature]], which are at least part Flying-Type.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Vakuum doesn't think in terms of "good" or "evil", but in terms of "order vs chaos" where the "order" is just a futile attempt to contain the "chaos" it rapresents.
* DishingOutDirt: As a Pokémon, it's pure Ground-Type.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Its final objective. Vakuum believes that human beings with their actions are disrupting the balance of the universe, so human beings must be eliminated to solve the problem.
* AGodIAm: To be fair, it used to be a god before he broke into Luxflon and Dragalisk. When Dragalisk reunited with its missing half during the final battle, it caused Vakuum's mind to be recreated and to persist after the division, prompting it to start a quest to recover its full power once again.
* AGodIsYou: Vakuum knows about the Player controlling the Player Character, which is the reason why they were chosen as Vakuum's new vessel.
-->'''Vakuum:''' ''Even right now, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall don't you see that someone is looking at us?]]''
* GrandTheftMe: Vakuum has the power to hijack other entities' bodies. If it grants the other creature just a fraction of its power, the creature will enter a state of Fury, becoming much stronger than normal; if Vakuum decides to fully take control, the creature will become insanely powerful, but [[DeadlyUpgrade they won't be able to survive]] if they are not strong enough to contain all that energy. And it is planning to take over the Player Character's body in order to become a balanced being again and ascend to godhood.
* HatePlague: Manifests as The Fury, allowing people and Pokémon alike to grow stronger with the power of their hate.
* JerkassGods: Vakuum is the incarnation of chaos, and as such he opposes the order created by humanity. Vakuum doesn't want to destroy mankind out of malice, but because it thinks it is what's better for the universe at large.
* LotusEaterMachine: Vakuum rewriting reality at the end of Pass 4 was actually a clutch attempt to take control of the Player Character without fighting. And it would have worked if Trey didn't make the Player Character realize that something was amiss, allowing the Alter to show them their memory and the reason they hate the Player Character so much, causing them to wake up and face Vakuum one last time.
* MirrorMatch: Vakuum is close to transforming into the Player Character at the end of Pass 5, and it challenges the Player Character in a perfect mirror match to prove it.
* OlympusMons: It is a Legendary Pokémon who represents creation and chaos. As a trainer, it possesses [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Tornadus, Thudurus, Landorus]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus Enamorus]].
* RealityWarper: If the distortion it causes on Mt. Zodiac was not a clear sign of it, Vakuum created a new Dragalisk to try and subdue the Player Character, and it summoned the ClosingCredits after its defeat. Other than that, the Player Character awakes in an apparently perfect world where Trey never died, Dahlia recovered from her accident in the Pass 3 and the Rival is Eldiw's Lumen now.
* WhatTheHellHero: Vakuum notices that the Player Character attacked it when it manifested for the first time in the Xenoverse, prompting it to look for an alternative way to communicate with them. Vakuum assures there are no hard feelings, as [[TakeThat it is human nature to mindlessly attack whatever it is perceived as "different"]].

!!Gold from Johto
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xenoverse_gold.png]]

One of Aster's mentors. Your father's old rival. The strongest Pokémon trainer from Johto. ''[[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo The Player Character from the previous generation]]''.

Gold needs no introduction for those who played Pokémon Gold and Silver and their remakes. Years after their adventures in Johto, Gold heard that his old friend and rival Silver (now known as Versil) was kidnapped by a villainous team and came to rescue him... [[TheCavalryArrivesLate arriving three months after he was saved]]. But as he was there he started to train in solitude on the peak of Aurora Den, just like his old mentor Red did years before on Mount Silver in Johto. He will always offer a fair challenge to the Player Character in case they manage to find him. Or if they just want to pay him a visit.

* CoolOldLady: When she sees the PlayerCharacter sneaking around Nova Ranch after they decided to go looking for Versil on their own, she reacts way better than Clover, giving them free Poke Balls and a tutorial to teach them (and the player) how to catch Pokémon.

The Hypelion City gym leader. Specializes in [[MakeMeWannaShout Sound-type]]. He's also a highly popular musician.

* MakeMeWannaShout: As to be expected from a musician, he specializes in Sound-type.

-->'''Henna''' (To the audience): As elegant as the phoenix rising from the ashes... fueled by the eternal flames burning in hell... and with the fiery passion within the heart of a warrior... my Fire-type Pokemon will blaze up like gunpowder, in their fiery glory, to light up the Sunshine Circus!

* CuteButCacophonic: Trishout may be adorable, but ts Pokédex entry also describes it as being very, ''very'' loud. It also happens to be [[MakeMeWannaShout Sound-type]].

* MakeMeWannaShout: Trishout has the all-new Sound typing, and is likely the first mon of that type you'll encounter.

* GoldTooth: All of his teeth seem to be made of gold.

* WhipItGood: They wield a whip like a typical circus beast tamer. They seem to be the kind who uses the whip as a form of signaling instead of as a way of punishing their Pokémon.

* BlowYouAway: As a trainer, it primarily uses the [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVMinccinoToGenesect Forces of Nature]], which are at least part Flying-Type.

* FashionModel: Implied to be this, both from her mother's old career and being referred to by Gengar X as "the crème de la crème of style".

* [[Chekhov'sGunman]]: [[spoiler: She is the one to inform the player about Aegislash X during the events of pass 4.]]

* Chekhov'sGunman: [[spoiler: She is the one to inform the player about Aegislash X during the events of pass 4.]]

* Chekhov's Gunman: [[spoiler: She is the one to inform the player about Aegislash X during the events of pass 4.]]

* OlympusMons: [[spoiler: He somehow has ''Mewtwo X'' as his ace during his Lumen battle.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Nuphar. Both Vanilla and Nuphar are female royalties who serve as gym leaders. But while Vanilla is neglectful of her duties and [[SpoiledBrat generally very spoiled]], Nuphar is TheHighQueen who diligently tends to the needs of her people. Even their outfits contrast each other - Vanilla wears an [[PimpedOutDress extravagant dress]] [[PinkMeansFeminine overload with pink]], while Nuphar wears [[ModestRoyalty simple, elegant outfits]] [[TrueBlueFemininity characterized by blue]].

* OlympusMon: TheRival [[spoiler: has Celebi in their Lumen's team]].

* OlympusMon: [[spoiler: He somehow has ''Mewtwo X'' as his ace during his Lumen battle.]]

* DeadpanSnarker: The main character's Alter has an oddly dry sense of humour.

* FusionDance: With the player.

* {{Determinator}}: Every time the Player Character interacts with him, Ginger is dealing with a HopelessBossFight. But even if he is literally just recovering from a harsh defeat, Ginger wants to keep on fighting until the menace is defeated.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He had a full head of blonde hair and was a tough gym leader who's ready to stand up to Team Dimension to protect his city's people.

* LovableJock: The gym guide explicitly called him "the sporty type each respectable college has". Ginger's intro pose when his gym battle began was him doing upper arm stretch.

A strange boy Kay/Alice met when he/she arrived at Cluster Jungle. He's the son of the Cardinal Chua. [[spoiler: Deep down, he was sad that his father was always working at Shyleon Temple and never had time for him]]. [[spoiler: They got better]].

* ParentalNeglect: [[spoiler: According to Ruta, Chua was always busy working at Shyleon Temple, which caused him to not have chance to spend time with his son]]. [[spoiler: He got better]].
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: He tried to persuade the Temple Sentinels to let him and Kay/Alice through by stating that he's the son of Chua. It didn't work, as the sentinels [[spoiler: were BrainwashedAndCrazy at that time]].
