11
12	* AdaptationDyeJob: His hair is black/dark brown, while Lucas' is a navy blue. He also has green eyes instead of blue.
13	* AdaptationNameChange: He's inspired by Lucas but has a different name from him. Lucas is named "Kouki" in Japan.
14	* BadassNormal: Hareta is quite a scrapper on his own. He can call himself a Pokémon and no one will argue.
15	* BigEater: Hareta likes to eat a lot.
16	* BerserkButton: In his case, anyone who's cruel to Pokémon.
17	* {{Determinator}}: No matter how much you beat him, he'll come back with a grin and a renewed determination to train harder and fight better. And no matter how many threats you make against him, his friends, or any Pokémon, he'll be doubly determined to stop you.
18	* DisappearedDad: His father left him with Professor Rowan.
19	* FearlessFool: Hareta confronts almost all enemies without fear. When Hareta is told he's stupid by Gardenia for being so fearless, he happily says he doesn't mind and is fine being dumb.
20	* IdiotHero: Hareta was raised by Pokémon and so much of his behavior is animalistic. For example, when first trying to open Piplup's Pokéball, he bites it. However, his upbringing only explains so much of his behavior. Some of it is apparently genetic.

51	%%* {{Tsundere}}: In a platonic example, to [[IdiotHero Hareta]].
52	* {{Tykebomb}}: Mitsumi was raised by [[spoiler:Cyrus]] to be as powerful and [[spoiler:cruel]] a trainer as possible. She stayed this way until well into her teens.
