!! ''The Pokementalists'' features examples of:
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Using Mind-bond powers causes the Trainer's eyes to glow. They can then start using their Pokemon's moves.
* PsychicLink: The Mind-bond some characters share with their Pokemon.
* StoryBreakerPower: Legendary Seals. In short, characters with those can use powers dervied from legendary Pokemon, with no Mind-bond required. However, the plot revolves around finding out and exposing the actual evils in Quetro Enterprise while avoiding its complete destruction by Eric, which proves difficult for teenagers, even with godlike powers.
!!Character-specifics:
[[folder:Mic]]
[floatboxright:
'''Profile:'''
* Age: 12
* Mind-bound Pokemon: Rikko (Metagross)
* Legendary Seal: Giratina
]
---> TheHero. Son of Eric, the head to the local police, but bad blood caused him to leave home at age 7. He lives in a little cave a few cities away from his old home for about four years.
!!Tropes associated with Mic:
* AntiAntiChrist: [[spoiler:Despite wielding the powers of [[SatanicArchetype Giratina]], is a decent kid.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Mic may be nice, but his only Pokemon, Rikko, is a Metagross. Rikko himself is GoodIsNotSoft.
* CharacterDevelopment: Starts out an IdiotHero, becomes a SociopathicHero, then calms down to a KnightInSourArmor.
* DimensionalTraveler: [[spoiler:Mic, using the powers of Giratina, can be this.]]
* FreeRangeChildren: UpToEleven, as he's nearly always alone.
* KidHero: Mic's eleven years old, like many Pokemon protagonists.
* IdiotHero: Mic starts out very gullible. When he is captured as a result of the more stupid actions he's taken, he turns asocial though.
* SociopathicHero: He lives on his lonesome, and has few contacts with the outside world.
* StealthMentor: Rikko, by way of disobeying Mic when he thinks too much about getting his father's approval and beating Zic. They eventually bond back.
* WellDoneSonGuy: At the beginning, an underlying motif for trying to stop the Quetros is the resolution of his father issues. He's also a bit DrivenByEnvy for Zic. [[BroughtDownToNormal When he thinks too much about these two, his Mindbond effectively fails him.]]
* WildChild: Mic forced this on himself, running away from home at age seven.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Macha]]
[floatboxright:
'''Profile:'''
* Age: 15
* Mindbound Pokemon: Kingdra
* Legendary Seal: Azelf
]
---> A young Pokemon Ranger girl, and one of Mic's few links with society.
!!Tropes associated with Macha:
* AloofAlly: To Mic, and that's when she's here: being a Pokemon Ranger, she's bound to other duties that take her away from him for a while.
* TheLancer: Macha is much more serious and collected than Mic is.
* MakingASplash: Her ace is a Kingdra.
* TomboyishPonytail

[[folder:Zic]]
[floatboxright:
'''Profile:'''

---> Mic's older brother and TheRival. At 15 years old, he's already a recognized police officer, and nearly revered like a hero. He lives on a boat permanently anchored on a road, and so since he left his father's home.
!!Tropes associated with Zic:
* TheAce
** WorldsBestWarrior: Zic has never lost a battle by the time the plot starts.
*** DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Daniel pulls this on him.
* AloofBigBrother: To Mic. The fact that Zic separated from his family too only parted the two brothers even further, adding to Mic's envy. Zic himself isn't really aloof, but standoffish when it comes to his family.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Zic is usually cool-headed, but when he's pissed, getting Gurin (his Dragonite) sicced on your ass is the least of your worries.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Loves showing off and partying without a care for his family, but he wants the best for the world in a bigger picture.
* KamehameHadoken: How he uses Gurin's Hyper Beam.
* HundredPercentHeroismRating: He is beloved for going on nine months of crime-hunting, and having pretty much cleaned up the entire region of most criminality, barring Quetro Enterprise that continues to sneer at him.

---> The last of the Quetro brothers, he's their lackey and scapegoat. Starts as a suspect of Eric's, but is rapidly fed up with his brothers' bullying and attempts to sabotage them in order to take Quetro Enterprise for himself.
!!Tropes associated with Daniel:
* AntiHero: Daniel fits many of the types.
** LoserProtagonist: He's a weaker person than his brothers, and they outright bully him due to that.
* CombatPragmatist: When he starts awakening to his Mind-bond and Legendary Seal, he's not above using those to attacking the opposing Pokemon himself.
** KnightInSourArmor
** GoodIsNotNice: At best, Daniel is socially awkward.
** PayEvilUntoEvil: At worst, he's downright nasty.
* IWorkAlone: Even as a good guy, he works alone and tends to antagonize Mic and Zic (especially Zic) more often than not.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: His motivation for being as asocial as he is.
* TheStarscream: Becomes a protagonist version of this, aiming to take over the business and right his brothers' wrongdoings.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: His most common use of Palkia's powers. Results in VillainExitStageLeft.

[[folder:Eric]]

* Mindbound Pokemon: King (Arcanine)
]
---> Mic and Zic's father and the most well-known police agent around. He's a man of a few words, and his life is consumed by his work. When he hears of the Quetro fielding a new weapon, he sets out to immediately investigate, in hopes of arresting and jailing the entire Quetro family and destroying their enterprise.
!!Tropes associated with Eric:
* BadassNormal: He uses only King, his Arcanine, and Turret, his Gastrodon, none of which are even notably powerful mons. Yet he is able to defeat most his targets, sometimes easily. [[HowDoIShotWeb He doesn't even know how to use the Mindbond he shares with King]]. [[spoiler:He also doesn't have supernatural ability to gain powers from legendary Pokemon despite his wishes to exploit Zic's such ability.]]
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: His default procedure.

* Legendary Seal: Mesprit
]
---> Zic's partner, she's a Pokemon breeder. While she's not working for the police unlike Zic, this only helps him in more delicate situations.
!!Tropes associated with Ludmilla:
* DualBoss: She fights in Double Battles.
* ExtraOreDinary: Both her known Pokemon are a Forretress (named "Toby") and Phonos, her Bronzong. Via Mindbond with Phonos, she can actually use some of its attacks, and she mostly uses Steel-type moves.
* HotBlooded: In comparison to Zic, who stays relatively cool and nonchalant, she loves the share of action she gets.
* MartialPacifist: Even though she does prone pacifism and prefers to battle for show if at all.

---> Daniel's OnlyFriend and his confidante.
!!Tropes associated with Rachel:
* BlessedWithSuck: If she crosses eyes with someone, they start forgetting things. [[spoiler:It's actually her sharing powers from Uxie.]]
* CuteClumsyGirl: Due to the SunglassesAtNight schtick, she cannot go into a place that doesn't have bright lights without assistance.
* TheDitz: She tends to be out-there.
* LonelyRichKid: Her Legendary Seal awakened very early, and her severe PowerIncontinence made people think she was cursed. Even her family hates her, only keeping her alive because killing her off is politically incorrect. Her and Daniel are LonelyTogether.
* MoralityPet: For Daniel.
* PowerIncontinence: She can't stop her BlessedWithSuck. [[spoiler:She eventually learns how to keep her powers in check very late, but never quite manages to totally suppress them.]]
* RichBitch: Behaves like this at the beginning. The act drops when her panrets disinherit her.
* SunglassesAtNight: To avoid anyone looking at her straight in the eyes.

* NobleDemon: Jacques. [[spoiler:He even gets Gid to kill Paul with [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Horn Drill]] after he guesses correctly and spots Paul attempting to stab Jean in the back.]]
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Jacques. He starts out as a HarmlessVillain who does no direct progress, but midway through the plot he does strike a Mindbond with Gid (see below), and suddenly becomes the largest direct threat of the four by far.
* OddNameOut: The Quetro brothers are, from oldest to youngest: Jean, Jacques, Pierre, Paul, and ''Daniel''.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Their aim, via taking control of the police forces / replacing them with their militia.

** Jacques hates how the police is essentially corrupt and thinks it's better for him to take the helm, because [[AtLeastIAdmitIt at least he admits being evil]].
** Pierre has a bad case of LackOfEmpathy and wants the clan to rule everyone ForTheEvulz.
** Paul is a MisanthropeSupreme who simply believes DespotismJustifiesTheMeans.
* WeaponOfChoice:
