!!! Chikorita → Bayleaf
Kris' starter, which she received from Professor Elm. It evolved into a Bayleaf during the fight against Team Rocket at the Slowpoke Well.

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: After spending most of the season being anti heroic at best and anti villainous at worst, Silver decides to go back to Team Rocket after realizing that he has no one on his side besides his mother and he is already a wanted criminal. To seal the deal, he leaves behind his Pokédex at Professor Elm's Lab before heading to Goldenrod's Radio Tower.]]

* LikeFatherLikeSon: [[spoiler:In his time as a Team Rocket Executive, Silver begins developing his father's habits, including snapping at his Pokémon for killing moves.]]

* CoolOldGuy

* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler: He can go toe to toe with several Rockets.]]
* AscendedExtra: In the games, Joey is a one note weak trainer in the early game. Here, he appears every now and then to help Gold in his character arc, [[spoiler: and is part of TheCavalry in the Goldenrod Radio Tower fight]].

[[folder: Kurt]]
A crafter of specialized Pokeballs out of Apricorn.

* AdaptionalEarlyAppearance: Clair makes a cameo in Episode 26 to warn Lance that Team Rocket has affected the Pokémon at Blackthorn City. In the games, she appears after the player defeats Team Rocket at the Radio Tower.

Once a Pokémon that blocked a pathway between Violet City and Goldenrod City, Kris captured it after managing to surprise it with Squirtbottle.

Silver's third known Pokémon. It evolved into Haunter sometime before [[spoiler:Silver rejoined Team Rocket]].

* 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.]]

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Since it doesn't have any arms as a Wooper, it creates temporary arms made of solid ice whenever it uses Ice Punch. It no longer does this upon evolving into Quagsire, since it now has an actual pair of arms to throw punches with.

* SpeedBlitz: It defeats Petrel's Drowzee by zipping around faster than the other Pokémon can react and striking it repeatedly, evolving from Mareep to Flaaffy in the process.

This owl Pokémon originally belonged to Kris. When she evolved from Hoothoot, Gold convinced her to trade it to him in exchange for his Nidorino.

* OutOfFocus: Compared to the other starters, Bayleaf has not been used by Kris that often, due to her decision to utilize different Pokémon in battles.

!!! Cyndaquil -> Quilava -> Typhlosion

!!! Wooper -> Quagsire

!!! Mareep -> Flaaffy -> Ampharos

!!! Nidoran♂ -> Nidorino

!!! Muscle (Machop -> Machoke)

!!! Nidoran♀ -> Nidorina

!!! Scyther -> Scizor

!!! Chikorita -> Bayleaf

!!! Ledyba -> Ledian

!!! Sentret -> Furret

!!! Hoothoot -> Noctowl

!!! Togepi -> Togetic

!!! Slowpoke -> Slowking

!!! Muscle (Machoke -> Machamp)

!!! Totodile -> Croconaw -> Feraligatr

!!! Zubat -> Golbat

!!! Gastly -> Haunter

* ManBitesMan: It knows Bite. [[spoiler:It used that move to kill Ariana's Vileplume. In Episode 25, Feraligatr used Bite to maul Trainer's Pokémon if they tried to go pass the Route 43 building, not only killing their friends, but forcing them to pay Team Rocket's fine.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Ariana has killed incompetent underlings without batting an eye and has done plenty of other evil things in her time with Team Rocket, but in the sequel series, she reacts with utter horror when [[spoiler:Silver's Feraligatr rips her Vileplume apart]].

!!Sneasal

* AdaptationalExplanation: We see how Silver stole Sneasal's Poke Ball.

The female lead. A teenage ([[VagueAge maybe 18?]]) girl from New Bark City who wants to [[GottaCatchThemAll catch one of all Pokémon species]] to complete her Pokedex.

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

* SignatureMon: She [[StarterMon starts with Chikorita]], but since her goal is to catch all Pokemon to complete her Pokedex, we won't be seeing Chikorita too much. That said, she does seem to spend more time with her Togepi and her shiny, tailless Slowpoke.

* FusionDance: Slowpoke evolves into Slowking via Kris's Shellder clamping down on its head. While that's not accurate to the game mechanics (Trading a Slowpoke holding a King's Rock), it is accurate to the pokedex lore for Slowking, as is Slowpoke's earlier lamentations about Slowbro (Shellder has to bite the tail, which doesn't exist).

* ShoutOut: Just like with Red's Charizard in the prequel, its evolution is a massive one to ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. Where Charizard got the Super Saiyan 3 Goku reference, the Slowking evolution was more or less a shot-by-shot recration of Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, complete with Eusine taking the role of Cell and Kris's Pokedex taking the role of Android 16.

* FusionDance: Shellder was responsible for making Slowpoke evolve into Slowking via clamping down on its head. While that's not accurate to the game mechanics (Trading a Slowpoke holding a King's Rock), it is accurate to the pokedex lore for Slowking, as is Slowpoke's earlier lamentations about Slowbro (Shellder has to bite the tail, which doesn't exist).

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: After spending most of the season being anti heroic at best and anti villainous at worst, Silver decides to go back to Team Rocket after realizing that he has no one on his side besides his mother and he is already a wanted criminal. To seal the deal, he leaves behind his Pok&ecute;dex at Professor Elm's Lab before heading to Goldenrod's Radio Tower.]]

* ScissorsCutsRock: Like Bugsy's Syther, Jasmine's Steelix manages to beat Quilava due to it's impressive defense despite the type disadvantage.

* OutOfFocus: As a Ledbya, Kris did not use it as much once she received Togepi and Slowpoke. This extends even after evolving into Ledian as they get put on the back burner after a couple of uses.

To seal the deal, he leaves behind his Pokedex at Professor Elm's Lab before heading to Goldenrod's Radio Tower.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:Calls out Silver for stealing Sneasal and not being worthy of owning a Pokedex compared to Kris, who had her's smashed by Euisine. Unfortunately, this only makes Silver go back to Team Rocket.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Silver's Feraligtr. Typhlosion was raised with kindness and respect from Gold, being encouraged to do well and is treated like an equal. In contrast, Feraligtr was abused by Silver, who treated it with nothing but scorn whether it won or loss. Their evolutions are even different: [[spoiler:Typhlosion's evolution shows the bond between him and Gold, breaking through Team Rocket's radio waves and working together to stop the Gyrados herd. For Feraligtr, he overwhelmed by the radio waves and begins mauling Ariana's Vileplume to death like a wild animal, all while Silver does nothing to stop him.]]

* 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 Silber allows it.]]

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.

* SignatureMon: His StarterMon, Cindaquill/Quilava/Typhlosion (though as of this writing, Quilava hasn't evolved into Typhlosion). Gold didn't even catch any mons until after defeating Falkner. [[{{Deconstruction}} It comes to bite him in the ass when he challenges Whitney.]]

!!! Cyndaquil -> Quilava
Gold's starter, and his only Pokémon for the first leg of his journey. It evolved into Quilava after defeating Falkner's team.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed. He's still as antagonistic as in the original games, and is still a {{Jerkass}} and a thief. However, the web animation highlights that working for Team Rocket when he was a child has left a big trauma, even eight years later, [[FreudianExcuse which explains his behaviour]]. While he steals Totodile, a scene later shows he's not proud of his action. In the original game, there is no indication Silver has a past trauma related to being conscripted in Team Rocket or is regretful of his theft. He's also shown actively fighting against Team Rocket, [[AloofAlly even though he refuses to cooperate with Gold and Kris - or even to be seen by them]]. He also has feelings for Kris, but again, [[{{Tsundere}} he doesn't want to be seen by her]].

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Essentially the crux of his [[spoiler:choosing to rejoin Team Rocket. Between the police stalking him primarily for his relation to the leaders of Team Rocket, and Chuck absolutely demolishing his budding good side because Silver had a moment of weakness, Silver essentially decides that if he'll never escape Team Rocket's shadow, he might as well accept it. The next episode shows him unhappily, but fully, committing to his new position therein.]]

A female Fighting-type Pokémon that Gold received in a trade. She was the lynchpin of his final strategy for taking down Whitney.

** TheBusCameBack: She later returns in Episode 25, where Gold trains her up to evolving into Machoke, only to trade it to Kris.

Kris' second captured Pokémon from the wild.

* MakingASplash: It's a Water-type Pokémon, after all.

* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Silver's Totodile is a brutal fighter who makes liberal use of the move Rage. [[spoiler:When it evolves into Feraligatr, it bites down on Ariana's Vileplume and gruesomely tears it to pieces.]]

!!! Muscle (Machop)

!!! Sentret

An owl Pokémon Kris' captured with the help of Falkner. She evolved at the National Park, and she traded it to Gold for his Nidorino to help with his rematch against Whitney.

One of the many victims of Team Rocket's Slowpoke Tail schemes, this shiny Slowpoke was caught by Kris following her and Gold stopping Team Rocket at the Slowpoke Well. It evolved into Slowking after fusing with Kris' Shellder during a battle against Euisine.

!!! Shellder
A bivalve mollusk Pokémon Kris caught at Olivine City. It managed to bite Kris' Slowpoke during a battle against Euisine, evolving the latter into Slowking. Shellder, in turn, becomes Slowking's crown.

* ManBitesMan: It knows Bite. [[spoiler:It used that move to kill Ariana's Vileplume.]]

!!! Gastly
Silver's third known Pokémon.
