TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: For starter, he's the only gym leader who's a character from prior games. He also had by far the largest plot role among all the gym leaders.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Unlike the rest of the Eldiwi gym leaders, his battle theme was a mix of the standard Eldiwi gym battle theme and the original Kanto gym battle theme.
* ShellShockedVeteran: It's obvious that years of serving in the military and [[spoiler: the horrible incident that caused him and his Raichu to turn into {{Cyborg}}]] had taken their toll on Surge's sanity.

The fight itself was a HopelessBossFight as it's programmed to not allow either Ginger or the player to deal any damage to A & B's pokemons.

* PlanetOfHats: Unlike typical Pokemon games, the Eldiw region goes for this. In an official Pokemon game, a region usually centers around a single culture, e.g., Kalos being mainly French, Galar being mainly British.

*PlanetOfHats: Unlike typical Pokemon games, the Eldiw region goes for this. In an official Pokemon game, a region usually centers around a single culture, e.g., Kalos being mainly French, Galar being mainly British. The Eldiw on the contrary utilizes this trope (like a Mario game would) - e.g., Ishtar invokes AncientEgypt, while Mikiway looks like something one would see in an European fairytale.

* SignatureMon: The Ghost/Grass X Spiritomb.



* BareFistFightingMonk:

to:

* BareFistFightingMonk: AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: He's a Fighting-type expert whose team ace is X Pyukumuku, which looks like a football - and Ginger himself looks like a stereotypical highschool/university star athlete.
* BareFistedMonk: The game's resident Fighting-type expert.
* BigManOnCampus: Seems to be pretty popular among townsfolk of the campus-like Newtron City.
* SignatureMon: His team ace was the Fighting-type X Pyukumuku, though he's more frequently seen commanding his Hawlucha.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Vanilla]]
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: There's no reason for this game to actually include a princess, but boy were Vanilla and her gym puzzle entertaining.
* TheFairFolk: Fairy-type specialist.
* MeaningfulName: Just in case you ''still'' haven't figured out that she's a princess who [[SweetTooth loves sweets]], she's named "Vanilla".
* RichBitch: She absolutely ''does not'' try to hide the fact that she's a princess.
* SignatureMon: The Fairy-type X Smeargle, which is very fitting, as X Smeargle is known for producing tasty cream and Vanilla herself's a big time SweetTooth.
* SpoiledBrat: Her youthful appearance plus the way she bossed her butler (and others) around definitely made her come across as this.
* SweetTooth: She ''really'' like her sweets. In fact, right before her gym battle, she told her butler to bring her her ''[[RichBitch golden]]'' utensil so that she could fill her belly with some tasty ice cream before fighting.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Nuphar]]
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: She specializes in Water-type, and her outfits make her look like a human version of Empoleon. On top of that, she dresses like an Ancient Egyptian queen, just to drive home the fact that her team ace is a Cofagrigus.
* TheHighQueen: She practically rules Ishtar. In stark contrast to Vanilla, however, she actually diligently tends to her duties and is generally more calm and mature.
* MakingASplash: This game's resident Water-type specialist.
* SignatureMon: The Water/Rock X Cofagrigus.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Caspar]]
* SoulPower: He specializes in Ghost-type.
* SignatureMon: The Grass/Ghost X Cacturne, which invokes the ScaryScarecrows trope even more than regular Cacturne now that it's a Ghost-type.

!The Protagonist and their family
[[folder:Kay / Alice]]
*HeroicMime: It's heavily implied by other characters' reaction that Kay/Alice does talk in-game. It's just that all players could see in their speeches are "...".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Versil, aka [[spoiler: Silver]]]]
*ActionDad: [[spoiler: Nothing screams ActionDad more than outright orchestrating the villainous team and being one of the strongest trainers the player could fight in the game]].
*DisappearedDad: His disappearance in fact kicked start the entire plot.
*DistressedDude: [[spoiler: What Aster and Kay/Alice ''thought'' he's. They thought Team Dimension was keeping him captive... until they saw him manning the organization's control panel]].
*[[spoiler: TheManBehindTheMan]]: [[spoiler: Turns out he's the true brain behind Team Dimension]].

[[folder:Clover, aka [[spoiler: Leaf]]]]
*ActionMom: Downplayed. She wasn't really involved in Kay/Alice's main adventure, but post-game shows that [[spoiler: she's actually quite a capable trainer, with a high-level team (at least on par with typical gym leaders) that players could fight]].
*MyBelovedSmother: Somewhat. She (understandably) became very protective of Kay/Alice after her husband went missing. In fact, at the start of the player's journey, she tried to stop him/her from leaving, though she let go of this after seeing how strong her child was.

!The Gym Leaders
