* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:In its fight against Feraligatr at the Rocket Hideout, Quagsire gets both of its arms ripped off by the Big Jaw Pokémon]].

** [[spoiler:The end of Episode 30 had Silver beg Ho-oh and Lugia kill him in exchange for reviving all the Pokémon he killed while working for Team Rocket. We know that it doesn't happen, but what happens after his plea is unknown]].

* CorruptTheCutie: It started out as a cheerful Totodile that just wanted its Trainer to show it some love and affection, but Silver wouldn't give it the time of day. This led it to develop severe anger issues, and by the time it evolved into Croconaw it had become as surly and volatile as Silver himself. [[spoiler:It becomes tragic after it evolves into a Feraligatr, turning into a feral beast that kills innocent Pokémon if Silver allows it.]]

[[folder:Clair]]
The Blackthorn City Gym Leader and Lance's cousin. She specializes in Dragon Types.

!!Team Rocket
[[folder: Archer]]
One of Team Rocket's four Admins. Archer was a grad student who believed wholeheartedly in Giovanni's theories about Mew, attending his lectures even after everyone else had dismissed those theories as quackery.

Eight years later, Archer is the leader of a resurgent Team Rocket.

* ArchEnemy: To Leaf, being the origin of all her troubles and psychological hang-ups, that she gets over after she finally defeats him one-on-one at the Sevii Islands.
* CoDragons: Giovanni's highest-ranking subordinate alongside Ariana.
* DragonAscendant: By the sequel series he has taken Giovanni's place as the leader of Team Rocket, though it's clear he wants his old boss back in charge.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: [[spoiler:In Episode 30, Archer sees that, even with Legendary Pokémon on Team Rocket's side, they are fighting a losing battle they cannot overcome. So, Archer decides to disband Team Rocket for good and free the Legendary Pokémon they captured before teleporting away with Ariana]].
* PragmaticVillainy: Archer uses the radio waves to not only force Pokémon to evolve, but to ensure that Pokémon will grow sick. Specifically, the Gym Leader's Pokémon so there will not be a repeat of what happened years ago in Kanto.

[[folder: Ariana]]
One of Team Rocket's four Admins.

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Upon seeing Feraligatr rip off Quagsire's arms, Gold is completely stunned and collapses to his knees to see his Pokémon get maimed. It lasts for a good third of the following episode, until Quagsire and the rest of his team give him the reassurance he needs to bounce back]].

* NonDamagingStatusInflictionAttack: Its Growl lowers the opponent's attack power.

* ForegoneConclusion: We know from the ''Red'' series that Silver is going to [[TookALevelInKindness warm up]] at least to [[LoveRedeems Kris, who he will marry]].

* AllForNothing: While future scenes of {{Pokemon Red| Fanmade}} make it a ForgoneConclusion, Episode 30 makes it clear despite everything she did was for reuniting her family, they will still be fractured and torn. She doesn't even make an attempt to see Mars, instead leaving a letter for her with Dawn to deliver.

* DeathSeeker: [[spolier:Implied at the end of Episode 30 as Silver begs the freed Ho-oh and Lugia to kill him in exchange for resurrecting all the Pokémon he killed while working for Team Rocket]].

* MyGodWhatHaveIveDone: [[spoiler:After ordering Feraligatr to rip off Quagsire's arms, it's strongly implied that he regrets doing it in the first place, given how later on, he broods in the Goldenrod Underground alone.]]

* SpannerInTheWork: [[spoiler:Ultimately, Jasmine leaving Johto for Sinnoh is the one thing Archer failed to account for. Once she hears about Team Rocket's takeover of Johto, she immediately recruits three trainers to help our heroes stop the criminal organization.]]

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Jasmine reveals in Episode 23 that May won eight Badges in Hoenn. [[Spoiler:Episode 30 reveals that May did indeed fight the Elite Four in Hoenn and became the new champion]].

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Jasmine reveals in Episode 23 that May won eight Badges in Hoenn. Whether or not she battled the Elite 4 is another story.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:Like with May, the trio are on their own Pokémon adventure in the Sinnoh region]].

The male lead. A teenage ([[VagueAge maybe 18?]]) boy from New Bark City who wants to challenge the Pokemon League and challenges the Johto Gym Leaders to enter it.

* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the first twenty episodes, Gold grows from a hot head who uses limited amounts of Pokemon to win battles, to someone who slowly realizes the importance of strategy and facing failure.

* GottaCatchThemAll: Kris's goal in her Pokemon Journey is catching all Pokémon to complete her Pokédex.

TheRival. A Pokemon thief who has a vendetta against Team Rocket.

* DoNotGoGentle: In episode 13 Gold defeats Whitney... But her Miltank single-handedly took down five of Gold's Pokemon, more than once. Gold had ran out of Potions and Revives by the time Muscle (his Machop) was knocked out again by Miltank [[GrievousBottleyHarm smashing Milk Drink's bottle on her head]], and Gold only won because his Wooper started evolving mid-fight.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: Whitney's Miltank only starts using [[DistractedByTheSexy Attract]] once Gold decides taking the fight seriously and she only starts using [[HealingFactor Milk Drink]] once Gold brings female Pokemon in his team, such as a female Nidoran and Muscle the Machop.

* LovePotion: Her SignatureMove is Attract; when a Pokemon uses it on a Pokemon of the opposite gender (i.e. Whitney's Miltank using it on a male Pokemon-Miltanks are always female), the target Pokemon may not want to fight the caster Pokemon. Whitney's flirting with Gold is treated as if ''she's'' using Attract on ''Gold'', but while it does make Gold fall in love with Whitney, it doesn't deter him from defeating her.

* ThatOneBoss: In-Universe, the narration presents Whitney and her Miltanks as a dreaded BeefGate - no matter how many badges her challenger has. When Gold and Kris arrive in Goldenrod, they see scores of trainers going to the Pokemon Center to have the overworked nurses heal their battered Pokemon, and when Silver tries his hand at the Gym he first sees trainers who had lost so badly even their ''Pokeballs'' were damaged, and he himself is curbstomped by the Miltank she kept specifically for trainers at their first Gym [[ScissorsCutsRock in spite of leading with a Gastly]]. Gold puts up a better fight than Silver, but he still loses to Whitney, who beats him ''six times in a single episode''. Even when fought for an eighth badge, she's a force to be reckoned with, as she uses a team of highly defensive Pokémon who know both healing moves and powerful attacks. A poor challenger finds this out the hard way when his team gets curbstomped twice in the same episode.

* ExtraOreDinary: Jasmine specializes in Steel type Pokemon.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Made a blink and miss it cameo in ''Pokemon Red'' before Red and Leaf stormed the Team Rocket Hideout.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:In Episode 29, May comes in to help out the cast against Team Rocket. She even has Rayquaza destroy the transmitter so none of their Pokemon will be affected by the radio waves.]]

* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:Like with May, the trio are on their own Pokemon adventure in the Sinnoh region]].
* WalkingSpoiler: The fact that ''no one'' expected these three to appear in ''Pokemon Gold'' is a big one. Hence why most of the tropes here are marked.

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: Dawn is first seen watching the Red Gyarados broadcast.]]
