History WhatHappenedToTheMouse / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', depending on the route you pick, some characters will no-show in Part II and their fates are left unresolved.
** On all routes, Marianne makes no appearances in Part II if you don't recruit her.
** On the Crimson Flower route, Lorenz and Raphael make no appearances if you don't recruit them. Lorenz's family sides with the Empire in the other routes, so it's likely he's fighting for you offscreen.
** On the Verdant Wind route, Gilbert and non-recruited Annette make no post-TimeSkip appearances. If you did recruit Annette, it's at least mentioned that Gilbert was last seen at Gronder taking away [[spoiler:Dimitri's dead body]].
** On the Silver Snow route, Sylvain, Ingrid, Felix, Mercedes, Annette, Hilda, Ignatz, Raphael, Leonie, and Lysithea make no appearances.
* In ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon'', the player character starts out partnered with a man named Jankowski. Very early in the game, Jankowski disappears, but starts appearing to the protagonist as bloody apparitions throughout the rest of the game. It's highly likely that [[spoiler: he was killed by Alma]], but no explanation is given for why his apparitions keep following the character, nor is there any conclusive evidence regarding his fate.
** WordOfGod confirms he is dead, but they wanted to make it a bit more mysterious, hence why his vital signs keep showing right throughout the game, though with "some kind of interference" Given how powerful Alma is, nothing is out of the question.

* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow'': While averted in the main mode in which she turns up at the tail end of the adventure, Mina Hakuba makes absolutely no appearance, nor is even mentioned in ''Dawn'''s [[AnotherSideAnotherStory Julius Mode]]. [[spoiler:Considering [[KillTheCutie what kickstarts Julius Mode]] to begin with, [[SchrodingersGun the implications]] [[UncertainDoom aren't pretty]].]]

** Also in the fourth case, Iris is shown to have strong feelings towards Phoenix and reveals that she would have done anything to protect him had she not been so forgiving of her evil twin sister who tried to kill him. After [[spoiler:her imprisonment]], Iris is not seen again in future games, nor is she ever mentioned.

** Subverted with Niko Bellic from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV''. While [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV GTA V]] gave him a few Easter Eggs (stating that he is still alive), he never made a physical appearance. His voice actor had conflicts with Rockstar, so it is very likely that we will not see him again.
** Luis Fernando Lopez (protagonist of the DLC [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony The Ballad of Gay Tony]]) is the only protagonist of the [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV IV]] trilogy whose fate is still unknown.
*** The same applies in Tony Prince, Yusuf Amir, Armando and Henrique. During the events of [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV GTA V]], none of these characters are ever mentioned.

** And then there's ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'', which ends with [[spoiler:Link waking up in the middle of the ocean amid the wreckage of his boat, with the Wind Fish flying overhead. It's never stated if he ever managed to return to Hyrule -- ''Hyrule Historia'' even notes that he was never seen again after this.]] A common fan theory is that [[spoiler:the presence of seagulls overhead implies Link woke up relatively close to land, though this doesn't resolve the matter of where he ended up, and what occurred after that.]]

** Also, in the [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue first generation]] (main series) and their remakes, Blue's Raticate mysteriously disappears after the third/fourth battle. Due to the fact that this is seen in Pokémon Tower, it has led many fans to believe that Red (the player) accidentally killed it (although this is very unlikely).

** ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'':
*** Hilda[=/=]Hilbert, the protagonist of [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite the previous game]], alongside Reshiram[=/=]Zekrom (depending on which version you bought) are nowhere to be found, having went missing searching for [[AntiVillain N]]. While there are subtle references to them by some characters in the game, such as N himself, Cheren and Bianca, Ghetsis, and their mother, they don't seem to have stayed in contact with them in the two year TimeSkip.
*** The Seven Sages zig-zag this trope somewhat; Ghetsis maintains his role as the BigBad, Rood has undergone a HeelFaceTurn and is the figurehead leader of Old Team Plasma, Zinzolin still works with Ghetsis, and Gorm makes a cameo in the post-game. Giallo, Ryoku, and Bronius are not seen at all. However, it is likely that they simply decided to not get involved in the situation between Team Plasma.

* ''VideoGame/Rayman1'': The fate of [[BigBad Mr. Dark]] after his defeat is left completely unaddressed, both in the game itself and the subsequent sequels (none of which he appears in). It's particularly odd as he's directly referenced as a PlotPoint in ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'', but again with absolutely no hint of what happened to him (and it's not even clear if this game is in the same ''continuity'' as the original).
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' has a very bad habit of doing this. Rebecca, Billy, Carlos, and all the characters in Survivor and Dead Aim never have their fates revealed aside from "they survived". Barry, HUNK, and Sherry run very close into this, only having the epilogues in 3 reveal some things about what happened to them. In a nutshell, if you're in this series and your name isn't Chris, Jill, Leon, or Claire, the plot doesn't really give a damn about you.
** Depending on who you choose for ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', either Barry or Rebecca will be this. As Chris, the last you hear of Barry is the opening narration that states they don't know where he is, and Rebecca is never even alluded to in Jill's scenario.
** [[TheBusCameBack Sherry is back]], now 26 years old, in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''. Barry also returns in ''Videogame/ResidentEvilRevelations2''. As for HUNK, he's also in ''Revelations 2'', but not within the main story. He's a playable character in the Raid Mode minigame.
** Done in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica''. Twice in the game, Claire runs into a mouse (first hidden in a locker, the next in a secret room). In the unlockable minigame, you have a chance of finding the mouse's diary explaining everything that happened to him.
** The remake of ''Resident Evil'' for UsefulNotes/NintendoGamecube has a minor example. In the stairwell (where there are later crows on the lights) you find a unique corpse slumped against the wall, who can be examined to read "What the hell happened in this mansion?" Later on the corpse is just... gone, you never encounter a zombie that looks like it, and [[ParanoiaFuel nobody knows where it wandered off to]].

* Two examples from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** One dealing with a story element rather than character: In ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'', if you got all the Chaos Emeralds (from the Sonic 3 part) you could, in addition to turning into Super Sonic, start upgrading them into the larger "Super Emeralds" in the Sonic & Knuckles part, allowing you to become Hyper Sonic, who was like Super Sonic only even more powerful. After this one appearance, the Emeralds are only seen in their standard small form, with no mention of the Super Emeralds or Hyper Sonic, although ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' referenced the former by having powerless stone replicas take their place in Hidden Palace.
** By the end of ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'', [[spoiler:[[BigBad the Deadly Six]] fight Sonic in [[LethalLavaLand Lava]] [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Mountain]]... and their fate after Sonic defeats them is never addressed. The DS version has them recycle their flying away animation while the Wii U version shows them poofing away in smoke. Eggman also mentions finding a way to bring them back under his control, so it's ambiguous if they died and he plans to revive them or are still alive in some way]].
** After Infinite's final defeat in ''VideoGame/SonicForces'', he fades away into a light and flies into a tower, after which Tails tracks his Phantom Ruby leading to Eggman's final mecha with Infinite nowhere to be seen. Exactly what Eggman did is unclear.

** Same with Peach's birthday in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii''; it's never shown happening for real in the ending, [[spoiler:which is just Mario and Peach HoldingHands, [[ButtMonkey Luigi getting left behind once again]], and the latter telling him about World 9.]]
** In ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', despite both directly controlling Bowser throughout the game, and him and Kammy being main characters in the story, the two are never mentioned in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue that shows Goombella's e-mail where she tells Mario what everyone is up to. The last time Bowser and Kammy are ever seen in the game is lying in defeat before the final boss after your boss fight with them, and they vanish after you leave the room and are never mentioned during the ending at all.
** In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', upon first meeting Dimentio, Tippi recognizes him instantly. How she knows him is never explored any further. Even in their spoilerific backstories, there doesn't seem to be any mentioned reason as to why she would know him. Worth nothing that this only happens in the English localization. In the original Japanese script, she merely implies that she recognizes him as one of Count Bleck's underlings. Perhaps it's just a translation hiccup.
** In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', Bowser Jr. mentions that he got the Paintbrush from "a strange old man in a white coat" as the camera focuses on the [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion E. Gadd]] logo on F.L.U.D.D.'s side. We never find out if Bowser Jr. stole the Paintbrush from Professor Gadd or if Gadd gave it to Bowser Jr., especially because E. Gadd never makes a physical appearance.
*** Then there's Il Piantissimo. The ending of the game if you didn't get 100% shows him finding the Magic Paintbrush, possibly setting up a SequelHook. He's never seen again, and Bowser Jr. has the paintbrush back in all subsequent games.
** In the Subspace Emissary mode in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', what happens to Link's fairy companion? It appears flying along with him when he's introduced, flies off out of shot when the Halberd casts a shadow... and then (outside of one of the battle taunts Link can do) never appears again.
** In the intro of ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'', Broggy (Broque Monsieur's dog from the last game) shows up to deliver the letter to Princess Peach's Castle inviting them to Pi'illo Island. After this however (and the point when the blimp lands), he's never seen again for the rest of the game and isn't even mentioned by anyone.
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid''. Samus can meet very friendly little animals in the game, including three monkey-like creatures and something resembling a dodo, both of which demonstrate new abilities she can do that aren't mentioned elsewhere in the game. As you escape after setting a time bomb powerful enough to blow up the entire planet, which would naturally kill them, you can take a very brief detour to the room where you initially found the Bombs and find them trapped there, where you can use your newly-acquired {{BFG}} to blast open a wall and free them. Of course, that fails to address how unintelligent animals like that escaped the explosion of the planet that occurred moments afterward. They appear in the later game ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'', but no explanation is given as to how they survived.
** It is established in the ending of ''Metroid Fusion'' that they are intelligent enough to use (at least basic) ship commands. [[spoiler: When an Omega-stage Metroid attacked Samus's ship in the docking bay, the ship's computer could not get out of the station by itself since the autopilot was not activated. Later it revealed to Samus that these lovable critters helped it taking off and then re-entering the station when the battle was over.]]
** If you save them, you can see them flying off in what is assumed to be their own ship after the planet blows up. In ''Metroid Fusion'' you find them on one of the decks of the station, so it's assumed that either Samus brought them there for testing (since she was working with the scientists) or they were caught and taken there separately.
*** It's generally assumed to be the latter, since Samus' dialogue shortly after releasing them in Fusion implies that she hadn't known of their fate.

* This has been a topic of discussion since the beginning of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}} 3'', just where is Jun Kazama? Her son Jin's entire motivation from the game he debuted in was to avenge his mother's "death"; the problem is in fact that he actually never saw Jun dying, and only assumed that after she stayed to fight Ogre as he ran away the God had her killed, (although the wrecked and burnt surroundings from the place she was fighting was a good indication). This doubt still persists by adding more uncertainty in Jin's assumption on Jun's death, and the fact that ''WordOfGod'' is deliberately keeping her fate a secret for dramatic effect doesn't help.
** And what happened to Kunimitsu? The appearance of Kunimitsu as DLC for ''7'' ''finally'' established where she was for the last twenty years: in hiding, [[spoiler:raising her daughter]].
** And the biggest mystery of them all, Kuma's second costume in the first two games is a polar bear. From the third onward, (where Kuma is replaced by his identically named son) his second costume is another character, Panda. Nobody knows what happened to polar bear Kuma and it's never been mentioned.
** Alex was one before finally returning in ''[=TTT2=]''.

* In ''VideoGame/LufiaIIRiseOfTheSinistrals'', Maxim's childhood friend Tia. She's your second party member and obviously is in love with Maxim and the game seems to imply a LoveTriangle beginning between her, Maxim and Selan. As ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' is a prequel to ''[[VideoGame/LufiaAndTheFortressOfDoom Forest Of Doom]]'', it's obvious that [[ForegoneConclusion Maxim and Selan will end up together]] and Tia leaves the party, and game, when the two get married. She doesn't even return to her item shop from the beginning anymore, completely gone until a small scene during the credits.
** Tia actually stays in the remake, ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', and remains a viable part of your team throughout the whole game. She even starts dating Dekar!

*** Not only that, but the two characters who's final scenes in 2 implied they were going to look into the Dark Energy thing, Gianna Parasini, and Kal'Reegar, don't appear in the 3rd game at all, despite nearly everyone else surviving from both prior games making an appearance. Reegar is mentioned in a report to have died in battle, while Gianna is not mentioned at all.

** The fourth case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'' revolves around a murder committed during the hostage exchange of [[spoiler: Dahlia Hawthorne]] for a two million dollar diamond. Much is made of the fact that [[spoiler: Dahlia Hawthorne]] disappeared along with the diamond after the murder, but while the former is found easily the latter is never recovered. One could assume [[spoiler: Dahlia]] sold it, but that doesn't explain why the thief doesn't have two million dollars sitting in their bank account somewhere and it's not brought up again. Another interpretation is that the thief lost the diamond when [[spoiler: she tried to escape via a river which she vastly underestimated the danger of.]]

** The first game caused an accidental disappearing mouse. In the fourth case von Karma makes a throwaway reference to having a child whose seven year old daughter has a dog named Phoenix. In the second game we meet his daughter Franziska, who does ''not'' have any children, nor is old enough to have a seven year old one. While this was probably not intended, many people are left wondering who the mysterious older von Karma sibling is. The creators have confirmed that Manfred ''does'' have an older daughter, who is the mother of the granddaughter he mentions, but that still doesn't explain why we never hear anything else about her.
** There is also the missing 4th clue from the final case in Justice for All, that Franziska took with her abroad and promised to return to Wright when they meet again. She never did give it to him in the next game.
** In the third case of the first game, Sal Manella disappears after his testimony, and is never mentioned again after [[spoiler:Phoenix mentions that he helped Dee Vasquez move the body]]. He gets a brief cameo in the first ''Investigations'' game, but it's still never mentioned what happened to him between case 1-3 and then.

** Also, Raiden mentions that he sent [[spoiler:Liu Kang and Kung Lao to rescue their Shaolin Masters]] near the beginning of the ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat2 MK2]]'' part of the story. It's never mentioned if they succeeded or not.

** ''VideoGame/Pikmin1'': The [[MultipleEndings best ending]] has [[spoiler:a number of Onions in new colors flying into the planet's low orbit.]] The sequel drops this, as neither of the two new types of Pikmin have Onions. By the third game, the design of them is altered altogether, and [[spoiler:the new Onions]] never leads to anything aside from serving as a slight SequelHook.

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'': After collecting all the things you need in order to ride the elevator, Crispin is chased off by Fred and is never seen again. [[spoiler:It is unknown if he was still in the asylum after Boyd lit it on fire.]]

* This has been a topic of discussion since the beginning of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}} 3'', just where is Jun Kazama? Her son Jin's entire motivation from the game he debuted in was to avenge his mother's "death"; the problem is in fact that he actually never saw Jun dying, and only assumed that after she stayed to fight Ogre as he ran away the God had her killed, (although the wrecked and burnt surroundings from the place she was fighting was a good indication). This doubt still persists in the 6th game of the franchise by adding more uncertainty in Jin's assumption on Jun's death, and the fact that ''WordOfGod'' is deliberately keeping her fate a secret for dramatic effect doesn't help.
** The reason Asuka is in ''Tekken 5'' is to be a replacement for Jun so that (nearly) all the characters who were in ''Tekken Tag'' would be playable (in some form) in ''Tekken 5'', as Namco had received a lot of flak for not including them in ''Tekken 4'', people obviously missing the point of ''Tag'' being a compilation game and not a canonical sequel.
*** Given that both Asuka and Jun are in ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' and Jun has a direct connection to the boss of that game, it's now painfully clear that Asuka is not and never was going to be a replacement for anybody. Remember, too, that even if a ''Tekken'' fighter ''was'' dead, that doesn't mean that person is dead ''now''... Bryan Fury, anyone?
** And what happened to Kunimitsu?
*** It seems to be implied that she is in hiding -- she stole from her tribe and Yoshimitsu presumably wants to kill her. In the non-canonical ''Tag'' he actually does kill her in his ending. Some of her moves were carried over to Raven, as well as Yoshimitsu.
*** According to WordOfGod, Jun Kazama and Kunimitsu are [[HesJustHiding apparently in hiding]] ([[http://www.computerandvideogames.com/226228/interviews/tekken-6-your-questions-answered/ the only characters that have been]] KilledOffForReal were King I and Armor King [[spoiler:I]]). Jun [[TheBusCameBack will be returning to the series]] in the [[DreamMatchGame non-canon]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieWp4FvXxk8 Tekken Tag Tournament 2]]'' (fan demand is also clamoring for Kuni's return), so there's a chance -- as slim as it is -- that these plot points will finally be addressed. TheReveal that [[spoiler:Jun and Unknown (the boss of the original ''Tag'', heavily speculated to be a demon-possessed Jun [[note]]although she was originally meant to be Jun's ''younger sister''[[/note]]) are one in the same]] is already seen by many as a possible backdoor to allow Jun back onto the roster of a future canonical game.
*** Kunimitsu, available in the console ports of ''Tag 2'' as DLC, was excommunicated from the Manji Party after her failed attempt to steal Yoshi's katana, thus affirming the above. The appearance of Kunimitsu as DLC for ''7'' ''finally'' established where she was for the last twenty years: in hiding, [[spoiler:raising her daughter]].
** And the biggest mystery of them all, Kuma's second costume in the first two games is a polar bear. From the third onward, (where Kuma is replaced by his identically named son) his second costume is another character, Panda. Nobody knows what happened to polar bear Kuma and it's never been mentioned. For that matter what happen to the first Kuma?
*** The "polar bear" Kuma was merely a PaletteSwap and was no more an additional character than [[MirrorMatch darker-yellow Scorpion]] is in ''Franchise/MortalKombat'', while WordOfGod is that the original Kuma died of old age between parts ''2'' and ''3''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'': Wait... did ''Crispin'' get out of the insane asylum too [[spoiler:before it exploded]]?

** One dealing with a story element rather than character: In ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'', if you got all the Chaos Emeralds (from the Sonic 3 part) you could, in addition to turning into Super Sonic, start upgrading them into the larger "Super Emeralds" in the Sonic & Knuckles part, allowing you to become Hyper Sonic, who was like Super Sonic only [[UpToEleven even more powerful]]. After this one appearance, the Emeralds are only seen in their standard small form, with no mention of the Super Emeralds or Hyper Sonic, although ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' referenced the former by having powerless stone replicas take their place in Hidden Palace.

* In the video game adaptation of Peter Jackson's ''Film/KingKong2005'', Preston takes shelter in a small cave during the first V-Rex attack in which Lumpy is killed. Preston is never seen or mentioned again, and is the only member of the expedition who is neither shown being killed or being rescued.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' franchise, with its [[WideOpenSandbox open worlds]] featuring dozens to ''[[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters hundreds]]'' of plot-relevant [=NPCs=] will obviously raise this question with at least a few of them from game to game. Sometimes, the developers will drop hints to what happened to some of these characters, but a few of their fates remain unknown:

** You never learn exactly what happened to most of the vampires and people from Christof's early years. Though, in the case of your Cappadocian buddies, the answer is both obvious and horrible, given that clan's eventual fate...
** George Thorne, the FBI agent. The second and last time you meet him, he's slumped over in the Giovanni warehouse, baffled by his enemies' inhuman abilities. Later as you pass through the same room, your party will point out that he's gone and wonder what happened to him, but he never reappears again.

* ''VideoGame/{{Antichamber}}'': If you find and activate all of the pink cubes before finishing the game...good for you.

* Towards the very beginning of ''[[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo-Tooie]]'', a couple of characters mention how excited they are about "the upcoming kickball game between the Jinjos and the moles" -- indeed, it's the main reason Jingaling wants to see the Jinjos rescued. The game is never mentioned again.
** Also, [[TheDragon Klungo]] from the first game. He only appears during the scene where Grunty is shown building the machine she will use to suck the beauty out of Banjo's sister, after which he disappears and is simply never seen, heard, or mentioned again. The only time you ''ever'' see him again is if you lose the game, where he actually succeeds in turning Grunty beautiful... at least, until his brief appearance in the ending sequence. He gets an expanded role in all of the other ''Banjo'' games, though.
** And of course, how could we forget about Tooty? You know, Banjo's little sister? The one whom [[BigBad Grunty]] wanted to steal her beauty from and thus started the events of the entire series? The one whom her older brother Banjo cared enough about to search a creepy witch's lair, climb tribal mountaintops, swim towards shark-infested islands, get swallowed by a giant sewage machine, wade through piranha-infested swamps, freeze his arse off in the North Pole, then burn his arse off in a desert, investigate a haunted residence, nearly drown in a polluted shipyard, time travel through a sky-high forest, win a fiery gameshow, and beat said witch who started it all, JUST to get to her? And then suddenly never even see her again in the series (save for an in-joke FaceOnAMilkCarton in Tooie, and other references)? What? You say you don't remember? At all!?... hehe, me neither. Kazooie must be his new real sister by now or something...

* Mira being absent in ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos Origins'' is explained by it being a VanishingVillage. Hassaleh being mysteriously absent from ''Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean'' is never mentioned, explained, or even referenced.

** In Dead Space: Severed, we learn that Lexine's immunity is now at the center of a scientific project called the Oracle Project. This project, whose goal was to wait for Lexine to give birth to a child and to study the effect of the immunity on him -- presumably to spot a gene responsible for it -- is eventually scrapped when the outbreak on Titan occurs and Lexine's termination is ordered. At the end of Severed, Lexine flees to an unknown location (presumably Earth) with the help of Gabe's sacrifice. Her status in an EarthGov file shown after the credits indicates that she is still alive, missing and a target of the Earth government. She's never heard of after that, neither in the sequel or in any of its DLC.

* The mage origin of ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins Origins]]'' has a literal example as during your test to prove yourself in the Fade, you encounter another mage named Mouse who wants to help you. As you defeat the lesser demon you were sent to kill, Mouse reveals that he is in fact a pride demon, the most powerful and deadly type of demon. He reveals his true appearance and gives you the ominous warning. "The true dangers of the Fade are preconceptions, careless trust, pride... Keep your wits about you, mage. True tests never end." before vanishing. Despite this disturbing introduction you never see or hear from him again.

* ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeRedemption''

** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'': The Hero searches for several items scattered around the world by his ancestor Erdrick in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII'''. He finds his Sword and his Armor, but... Where's Erdrick's Shield (i.e. the Shield of Heroes)? The absence of his helmet was understandable, since it was just an iron mask, but the shield was a special magical talisman like the sword and armor.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyroTheEternalNight'': At the end of their collective boss battle, after Skabb is killed and Sniff is knocked out, Scratch just flies off and is never seen again.

** From the series' backstory is Morihaus, the [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Aedric demi-god]] described as a "winged [[ALoadOfbull man-bull]]" who was sent to aid St. Alessia (as part of her BargainWithHeaven) in her war against the [[AbusivePrecursors Ayleids]]. He became the [[DivineDate lover and consort]] of Alessia, and was with her until her death. What happened to him after is unknown.

** In both the original games and their remakes ''[=FireRed=]'' and ''[=LeafGreen=]'', the "Pokemaniac=]"/"Pokemon Fanatic" Bill accidentally fuses with a Pokemon due to an experiment gone wrong and the player has to help him split from it. While Bill emerges from the machine, the Pokemon he fused with is nowhere to be found. In ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'', this is rectified by showing the Pokemon (depicted here as a Nidorino) running out of the machine unharmed right before Bill himself emerges from it.
