* Green/Leaf, being a HeroicMime like her [[DistaffCounterpart male counterpart]] Red is stoic and quiet in ''Pokémon [=FireRed=] and [=LeafGreen=]''. In ''Adventures'' Green is a flirtatious and mischievously cunning PluckyGirl who gives Red plenty of grief. ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'' gives Green a similar personality albeit more friendly and much less abrasive. ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' also portrays Green as energetic and happy in contrast to Red.

* In the original ''Red and Blue'' games Giovanni was the BigBad, but something of a NobleDemon who even pulls a HeelFaceTurn and disbands Team Rocket after his defeat (this proves temporary in future games and remakes but he retains sympathetic qualities). In early episodes of the anime, he is a much more malevolent entity, posing as a BadBoss to the Team Rocket trio and viewing most other beings besides his Persian as merely pawns to his ends. Interestingly, later seasons and ''Anime/PokémonOrigins'' evolve him a bit closer to his games portrayal, most noticeably his GracefulLoser qualities and a few PetTheDog moments when the trio actually contribute something meaningful. He remains more sinister than his game counterpart however.

* Red is a HotBlooded StockShonenHero, unlike TheStoic that would be canonized in later ''Pokémon'' games.



* Green/Leaf, being a HeroicMime like her [[DistaffCounterpart male counterpart]] Red is stoic and quiet in ''Pokémon [=FireRed=] and [=LeafGreen=]''. In ''Adventures'' Green is a flirtatious and mischievously cunning PluckyGirl who gives Red plenty of grief. ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'' gives Green a similar personality albeit more friendly and much less abrasive. ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' also portrays Green as energetic and happy in contrast to Red.
* Misty uses her original, more even-tempered personality. The ''Gold and Silver'' games made her more into a FieryRedhead to [[{{Retcanon}} go with]] her anime portrayal.
* In the games, Erika's main trait is that she's a {{sleepyhead}}. Despite her several appearances in the manga, this never appears.
* Some of the normally neutral, or even heroic, Gym Leaders (such as Koga, Lt. Surge, and Sabrina) and Elite Four characters were made into villains and anti-villians; especially in the first and second generation arcs. For example, Lance in the games is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who is somewhat hotheaded at worst, but Lance in ''Adventures'' is a misanthropic WellIntentionedExtremist who is basically [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite N]] if he were a genocidal maniac.



* Ruby's exclusively into contests, despite being Norman's child, which would've put him in the protagonist's role in the games. While the player certainly ''can'' do contests to their heart's content in-game, they're an optional sidequest instead of the main goal. He's also rather CampStraight, which is a trait that neither the hero nor rival versions of him have in either the original games or their remakes.
* Sapphire's portrayed as a {{Tsundere}} BookDumb WildChild who takes on Hoenn's gyms. In the games, when May is Professor Birch's daughter, she ''is'' TheRival, but is more of a NiceGirl who focuses on her Pokédex, while the player is the one who puts more effort into the gyms.
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' (and ''Platinum''), [[TheRival Barry]] was a hyperactive, silly kid who tended to blunder a lot, and frankly somewhat of a dunce with a horrible case of AttentionDeficitOohShiny and a touch of CloudCuckooLander, often charging into situations that may be unsafe without thinking, but possessing a heart of gold. He is dead-set on becoming the Pokémon champion and as strong a trainer as his father, seeing you as his rival. His ''Adventures'' counterpart, Pearl, while also hyperactive, is actually the OnlySaneMan of the PowerTrio between him, his extremely mellow, kind, but somewhat stupid childhood friend Diamond, and the highly intelligent but emotionally stunted {{Ojou}} with NoSocialSkills Platinum Berlitz, is a lot more cautious than Barry, and his goal here is forming a BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine duo with Diamond, meeting Platinum and being roped into going on a journey around Sinnoh completely by accident.
* A similar case to Sapphire is the above-mentioned Platinum Berlitz; in-game, the apprentice of Prof. Rowan, in this case the NPC Dawn, would be a friendly, plucky NeutralFemale who doesn't do much to affect the plot, but is there as your friend and somewhat of a guide. Platinum on the other hand is an unusually stoic, sheltered girl, and has been promoted to a role closer to the player character, battling and taking on gyms. Meanwhile, Diamond, who would be the player character in the games, has no interest in gym battles or battling in general.
* Strangely enough, the highly-praised complex AntiVillain N was actually [[AdaptationalVillainy simplified]], with his sympathetic traits being toned down and becoming generally much creepier.
* Bianca isn't as shy as she is in the games.
* While not as energetic as her anime counterpart, ''Adventures'' doesn't portray Elesa as an EmotionlessGirl like in the games. She's much more cheerful.
