The protagonists and rivals of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:General Tropes]]
* ActionFashionista: The player can customize both characters in a variety of clothing from casual, to extremely professional, and in some cases elegant. And, of course, you can kick plenty of ass while dressed as such.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The player will be superior to their rival counterpart when it comes to battling, and will always have a more completed Pokédex than Trevor.
* ButNotTooBlack: The character customization features give you precisely ''one'' dark skin color, which is on the lighter side anyway.
* BackToBackBadasses: The player will just as frequently team up with their rival as they will battle against them.
* BigThinShortTrio: Tierno is the Big, Shauna is the Thin and Trevor is the Short.
* BreakTheHaughty: Despite being straightforward with training and actively getting stronger while doing everything right, your rival can never beat you and they'll always question why.
* CantCatchUp: Your rival will go through a good deal of existential angst over losing to you when you beat him/her in a battle for the Mega Ring.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Unlike Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna, who have their own priorities, the rival will actively try to foil Team Flare's schemes, not unlike the player themselves.
* ColorMotif: Calem's default outfit has colors resembling Xerneas while Serena's default outfit has colors resembling Yveltal, their outfits can also be customized to suit the player's own personal personality or elemental preferences.
%%* CoolShades: Wears a pair over his/her hat.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: A possibility for those who choose the darkest skin color and have their hair dyed at the hair salon.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Also an option if one who picks the darkest skintone and gets their hair dyed.
* DeadpanSnarker: As a Rival.
* DeclarationOfProtection: The rival will feel it is their duty to look after and protect their friends from people like Team Flare.
* DragonTamer: From their fifth battle onwards the rival will have the Flying/Dragon Altaria on their team.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Zig-Zagged. [[spoiler:At the end, after defeating Diantha, the PlayerCharacter, TheRival, and the other three are treated to a parade and are personally given the "Honor of Kalos" as thanks for taking down Team Flare.]] In the Battle Chateau, however, an AlphaBitch trainer will talk trash about your clothes saying "Did you dress yourself in the dark or dig them out of the garbage" regardless whether or not if you're the most stylish trainer in all of Kalos with the most expensive chic clothing.
* AFatherToHisMen: The player's ability to utilize the Mega Ring implies that they share a special bond of trust and friendship with their Pokémon.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: ''Much'' more so than the others listed here. Even their ''skin color'' is mutable at character creation, and virtually everything else about their appearance can be changed at will at any point during the game. It's very unlikely that any two given Gen VI protags will look exactly alike, especially when comparing players who have unlocked everything.
* FiveManBand: With a 2:3 female to male ratio with the opposite gendered player characters and the 3 friendly rivals as a departure from the usual trio of the only having one rival. The Player and the opposite gendered Rival trade off on TheLeader and TheLancer roles. Shauna is TheChick as the most supportive, and girly member. Tierno is TheBigGuy for both his large size, and his focus on dancing moves that all either boost offensive ability, or are strong attacking moves. Trevor is TheSmartGuy who is more focused on finishing the Pokédex and learning about new types of Pokémon. They even fit the [[ColorCodedCharacters stereotypes color-wise]] with the leader and lancer as red and blue, big as yellow, smart as green, and chick as pink.
* FreudianTrio: The Player is [[TheKirk Ego]], The Rival is [[TheSpock Super Ego]] and Shauna is [[TheMcCoy Id]].
* GogglesDoNothing: As the player, they have sunglasses on their hat as part of the default outfit, but they're never actually used for anything.
* GoodCounterpart: To Lysandre, the Team Flare Boss. Both of them start out as Sycamore's disciples, run errands for the man, and at some point become able to use Mega Evolution. The difference in how they acquire Mega Evolution exemplify this best; while Lysandre uses a contraption to force his Pokémon to Mega Evolve, the protagonist is able to use it through the Mega Ring, and their bond with their Pokémon to bring out true strength.
* TheHero: As the player character.
* HumbleHero: Though it doesn't have an effect on the story, there are a few dialogue options at certain points that are more modest than others.
* IconicItem: The player eventually assumes possession of the Mega Ring. The rival later gains possession of one post-game.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: The rival will become slightly envious of the player, realizing that the player was simply meant for greater things than they are.
* InformedAttractiveness: Eventually, after performing enough stylish actions, many establishments around Lumiose City will comment in awe of how stylish the player is, even if you've never changed your hair or clothes since rolling out of bed.
* InSeriesNickname: Near the beginning of the game, the player can create a nickname for the rest of the group to refer to them by.
* TheLeader:
** Whoever the rival is will initially serve this role; Levelheaded type, while the player starts off as their {{Lancer}}.
** The PlayerCharacter turns into a Charismatic type over the course of the game, with everyone, even the rival who has now been demoted to TheLancer, looking up to them.
* LegacyCharacter: Looker presents the player with the codename "Looker" after he leaves Kalos.
* LonerTurnedFriend: As a rival, they act rather aloof from the beginning, mainly focusing on training rather than hanging around. By the time you take down Team Flare, however, they have a change in attitude and become more personable with the rest of the gang.
* MagicalAccessory: Their bracelets are Mega Rings, used to activate Mega Evolution.
* MeaningfulName:
** Calem and Serena's names (both in English and Japanese) come from the words "calm" and "serene," respectively.
** Their promotional names Xavier and Yvonne are fairly common [[FantasyCounterPartCulture French names]] that start with X and Y. Their respective meanings have no other correlation.
* NaiveNewcomer: As usual, the player character starts off completely new to Pokémon training, but they are also implied to be new to much of the Kalos Region as well. Luckily their rival will show them the ropes.
* NiceHat: Interestingly, only the player keeps the hat.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: The rival starts to feel this way during the fight with Team Flare at the Poké Ball Factory.
--> ''"But if I keep relying on you like this, going on this journey will lose its meaning..."''
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: At the beginning of the game, Serena wears pink pajamas, but Calem wears light blue pajamas.
* ProtagonistPowerupPrivileges: As the PlayerCharacter, they are the only one of the five who gets to use the Mega Evolution mechanic. Justified given that they defeated the other candidate and there was only one ring available at the time. As a rival, they get access to Mega Evolution Post-game.
* QuicklyDemotedLeader: The Rival starts off as the member with the most experience, but after you finally battle, it becomes clear that the player has overtaken them.
%%* RedOniBlueOni: The rival will be the Blue Oni to the player's Red Oni. The player, however, will be the Blue Oni to Shauna's Red.
* TheRival: Like in ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'', the character you don't choose is in fact your main rival and they mainly focus on getting stronger than you. The other three are secondary rivals, but they don't come near as close to the main rival's level.
* RollerBladeGood: The player gets a pair early on, and can learn an assortment of awesome tricks like backflips and swirls.
* RookieRedRanger: Despite being the group's newest member, the player character quickly becomes its most capable battler.
* ShipTease: With each other, and the player character with Shauna.
* SignatureMon: The protagonist actually gets three: the Kalos Starter, a Kanto Starter, and Mega Lucario. The rival has the Kalos starter and Mega Absol.
* SilentProtagonist: Played with. You don't have explicit pre-created dialogue like the [=NPCs=] do but the options this generation are far more specific than in previous gens.
* SuperMode: The first protagonists to be able to use Mega Evolution.[[note]]Although Red can Mega Evolve his Starters in ''Sun and Moon'', he is not a playable character at that point.[[/note]] The rival character gets a Mega Evolution in form of Mega Absol in the post-came.
* TeamDad: The rival, who leads by example, and likes to protect rather than support.
* TeamMom: The player. The few dialogue options available to the player will always have one gentle, supportive option.
* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: Calem, Serena and Shauna. Each of them receives one of the three starter Pokémon.
* TheUnchosenOne: The rival really wants to be TheChosenOne, but unfortunately for them, it would seem the player already holds the position.
* VagueAge:
** Some outfit-and-hair combinations can make Serena look like a [[Characters/PokemonAnimeOriginalSeries certain other 10-year-old tomboy]] in the franchise or make her and Calem look ''younger'' than even Red (Serena's "cute" clothes + pigtails are good at this), while others, particularly ones from Lumiose and Snowbelle, can make them look practically like a college student. By default, they have the air of a teenager, however.
* VirtualPaperDoll: In addition to choosing their skin color, the player can dress their selected character in a variety of different outfits.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Your rival receives one of the Kanto starters from Sycamore and the fossil you didn't pick in Glittering Cave, but they never use them.
** They also have a Fletchling and catch a Bunnelby during the tutorial, and never use them again.

[[folder:Calem ''[-(Calme)-]'']]
!!Calem / Calme (カルム ''karumu'')
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/calem_xy.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/ZachAguilar (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - EN), Creator/KenshoOno (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - JP)
The male main character (and rival if you choose Serena) of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. This young man has just recently moved to Vaniville Town in Kalos, along with his mother, Grace. Given his mother's previous occupation as a Rhyhorn racer, and his close bond with the family Rhyhorn, Professor Sycamore decides he's the perfect candidate to help with Sycamore's research into "Mega Evolution," and has Calem summoned to his laboratory in Lumiose City.
Calem hasn't appeared in anime adaptations, but his clothes served as one of the [[WholeCostumeReference inspirations for Ash's new outfit]] in the ''Pokémon X and Y'' anime (the other inspiration is Red's ''[=FireRed & LeafGreen=]'' costume). His ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' counterpart is simply called "X".
----
* AnimeHair: {{Averted}}. He's one of the few male protagonists to have a normal hairstyle. Even his alternate hairstyles don't really get all that crazy (certainly nothing approaching Nate).
* {{Bishonen}}: Compared to other male protagonists of previous generations, he really is very good-looking, which can help contribute to the "older" side of his VagueAge.
* BlueIsHeroic: His default outfit heavily features blue.
* ColorCodedCharacters: His primary color and speech balloon (when he's the rival) are blue.
* ColorMotif: He wears blue, white and red, the same colors as the French flag.
* TheDandy: Can be played this way with the Trainer customization feature.
* IneffectualLoner: ''Pokémon Masters'' makes him one, showing a tendency to go off on his own. In keeping with the series' idealism, he's less cynical about friendship than most examples; he's just not used to working in a team, and he wants to handle things himself so others aren't burdened by them. Nonetheless, he still gets in over his head without the rest of the team backing him up. Ironically, he finds the idea of giving gifts to others while alone embarrassing.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Not overly long, but still there.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He is not as tall as some {{NPC}}s, but he is tallest of the main group, appearing taller than Tierno.
* PrimaryColorChampion: Calem's default outfit is predominantly blue and red.
* SignatureMon: Art from the games shows him with the Froakie line and Charmander line, and his clothes are thematically similar to Xerneas. Ash wearing his clothes in the anime also had Froakie. In both ''Generations'' and ''Adventures'' his equivalent keeps Charmander, but has Chespin instead of Froakie. ''Pokémon Masters'' goes with a dark-horse pick and gives him an Espurr, which Calem does use as a rival, being his lead Pokémon from Glittering Cave onward.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: By default, Calem looks and dresses similarly to Hilbert. At least he can be customized for those who wanted more variety. As the rival he acts more like Cheren instead.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Serena]]
!!Serena (セレナ ''serena'')
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/serena_xy.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/JackieLastra (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - EN), Creator/AkariKitou (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - JP)
The female main character (and rival if you choose Calem) of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. This young lady has just recently moved to Vaniville Town in Kalos, along with her mother, Grace. Given her mother's previous occupation as a Rhyhorn racer, and her close bond with the family Rhyhorn, Professor Sycamore decides she's the perfect candidate to help with Sycamore's research into "Mega Evolution," and has Serena summoned to his laboratory in Lumiose City.
[[YoungerAndHipper A younger version]] of Serena served as one of the protagonists in the ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY'' [[Characters/PokemonTheSeriesXYCast anime]] [[note]]and, as the run concluded, went on to become one of the most notable and discussed characters in the history of the franchise, largely because of her much more prominent crush on Ash, particularly the implied kiss at the end[[/note]]. In ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' her full name is Yvonne Gabena, and is simply nicknamed as "Y".
----
* BareYourMidriff: All the Parka and Halter top options give her this.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: A few of her clothing options can give her this look, such as the shirt-and-tie combos at the Lumiose boutique.
* CallBack: Her Sync Pair variants in ''Masters'' feature her with different hairstyles on top of her outfits unlike the rest of the Sync Pairs that only get new outfits, likely as a reference to her home game being the introduction to trainer customization.
* CensorShadow: Allows Serena to effectively combine short skirts and roller-blading without any threat of exposure.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Her primary color and speech balloons (when she's the rival) are red.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: It's implied that Shauna has a crush on the main character, [[LesYay even when it's Serena]].
* FamilyThemeNaming: In the English versions, combining her name and her mother's will result in two words one letter away from an existing Pokémon Ability-Serene Grace.
* {{Fangirl}}: She states in ''Masters'' that she has been a longtime fan of Elesa, both as a model and a Trainer.
* TheFashionista: She's the [[http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-25/pxy-trainer-customization.html poster child]] of the Trainer customization feature, and there are ''far'' more clothing and hair styles available if you're playing as her [[MenswearGhetto rather than Calem]]. ''Masters'' expands on this by giving her, as a character, a love of fashion and shopping.
* GirlishPigtails: Becomes an option at the barbershop after the player becomes sufficiently stylish.
%%* HartmanHips: Shown in her picture above.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: As a Rival with Shauna.
* LittleBlackDress: One of her outfits you can get when she's the protagonist. It's even called the Little Black Dress.
* MinidressOfPower: Her default outfit is a very short skirt as well all other skirt and dress outfits, and she can be the most powerful trainer in the region.
* MsFanservice: Some of her clothing options are {{Stripperiffic}}, the other characters in the game wear more clothing than her including Malva.
* NiceGirl: Becomes a point of focus in ''Masters'''s Verdant Guardian Story Event. [[spoiler:Zygarde comes to learn from Serena's willingness to help it find its cells and uses that compassion to scatter its cells all over again in order to help an injured Hiker recover his stolen Sandshrew from Team Break. Sycamore theorizes that Zygarde learned from Serena's compassion.]]
* NoblewomansLaugh: Appears to do one in ''Masters'', specifically as part of her unique interaction with her Delphox.
* OlympusMons: ''Masters'' gives her Zygarde for her Sygna Suit variant.
* ShesGotLegs: Her long legs are especially highlighted by her ZettaiRyouiki and MinidressOfPower.
* SignatureMon: The Fennekin line in most artwork and adaptations, including the anime and ''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'', with the exception of ''Adventures'' and her appearance in the "Gotcha!" music video where she's shown with the Froakie line. Squirtle is also her Kanto starter of choice, and her clothes are thematically similar to Yveltal. Meanwhile, ''Masters'' gives her Zygarde for her Sygna Suit variant.
* StockingFiller: Her default thigh-high stockings or as they're labeled in game, "OTK (Over The Knee) Socks," and about a third of all the sock options.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Considered this with the more revealing outfits and short skirt.
* SweetBaker: She is portrayed in ''Masters'' as an altruistic, levelheaded young woman who has made desserts as a hobby.
* TomboyishPonytail: As the rival. As the player character, you can also style her hair as such at the barbershop if the player is sufficiently stylish.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Every one of her shorts options.

[[folder:Tierno]]
!!Tierno (ティエルノ ''tieruno'')
[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-xy_tierno_5964.png]]
An excitable boy whom you befriend at the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. Obsessed with dancing, his goal is to create a troupe of performing Pokémon dancers.
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his size, he is very light on his feet and a good dancer. He aims to create a dance team with his Pokémon.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: The description of him provided states he tends to get distracted by their opponents moves during battle because he is trying to incorporate them into his choreography.
* BigFun: He has a plump body and a huge heart.
* TheBigGuy: The largest of the friends and his signature Pokémon is the offense-oriented Corphish. Though battling isn't Tierno's main priority, dancing is a very physical activity. Also most dancing moves deal with boosting offense (Swords Dance, Dragon Dance, Rain Dance) or dealing heavy damage (Petal Dance).
* ButThouMust: Give yourself a nickname. Of course, you ''could'' just [[LoopholeAbuse make your nickname the same as your in-game name]].
* ColorCodedCharacters: Yellow.
* CoordinatedClothes: If the player character is a boy, it is possible to purchase the same shirt Tierno wears, which is appropriately titled "Twin T-Shirt."[[note]]Available at Cyllage City on weekends[[/note]]
* DanceBattler: He aims to create a team of Pokémon dancers. Case in point, the first time you battle him, his "starter" is a Corphish and it knows [[StatusBuff Swords Dance]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: His "starter" is a Corphish that becomes a Water/Dark Crawdaunt, but he is a pretty affable guy.
* FlatCharacter: He never gets a chance to share a character-building moment with the player unlike the other three rivals, nor can his house be visited for any possible backstory a la Trevor.
* GentleGiant: Rather big, but friendly.
* MeaningfulName: His name is Spanish for soft or tender (as in food), but when used to refer to a person it means inexperienced.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Helping Dexio and Sina rescue the Pokémon on Route 10.
* RealMenWearPink: He is TheBigGuy of the group, but his greatest passion is dancing and his goal is to make a team of [[DanceBattler Dance Battlers]].
* RecurringBoss: Faced a couple times during the game, the last time as part of a BossRush involving all the rivals except Calem/Serena.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Trevor's Blue Oni.
* SignatureMon: Corphish, which is the only one he uses in his first ''two'' battles with the player (out of three, though in the second he teams Corphish with two of Trevor's), and his only Pokémon in ''Adventures''.
* SphereEyes: Noticeably, making his character design a little nonstandard.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: He's Wise Guy with Trevor's Straight Man.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Trevor ''[-(Trova)-]'']]
!!Trevor / Trova (トロバ ''toroba'')
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/100px-xy_trevor_4750.png]]
A curious boy from Lumiose City whom you befriend at the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. He doesn't much care for battling, and prefers to challenge the player on who has more entries in their Pokédex.
----
* CatchPhrase: "To put another way..."
* CharacterDevelopment: Shauna describes him at the beginning as very shy, and towards the end of the game she now remarks that he seems bolder, evidenced by his challenging the player to a battle.
* ColorCodedCharacters: He's TheSmartGuy, and has a green color scheme.
* DeadpanSnarker: Much of his dialogue towards Tierno comes off as sarcasm.
* DragonTamer: At the Battle Maison, he can have the Rock/Dragon [[DinosaursAreDragons Tyrantrum]] as his partner.
* FossilRevival: Seems to be his thing, as he has Aerodactyl in his fight on Route 19, and both Kalos fossil Mons in the Battle Maison, namely Tyrantrum and Aurorus.
* GottaCatchEmAll: His goal is to be the first out of his friends to complete the Pokédex.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: If you talk to him post-game, he will mention a random Pokémon capable of Mega evolving and react with joy if you have it recorded in your Pokédex with a remark that "it's nice having the same Pokémon as them". Considering this is his reaction to any mon owned, he may have Pokémon like Garchomp and others stored up but never uses them. And that ''includes'' [[GoneHorriblyRight Mewtwo]], of all [[OlympusMons mons]]!
* MeaningfulName: More of a PunnyName than a name meaning compared to the others, but Trevor is similar to ''trouver'' which is French for "to find." It's also Irish for industrious or prudent.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Helping Dexio and Sina rescue the Pokémon on Route 10.
* ParentalAbandonment: You can find his house near Jaune Plaza in Lumiose, where his sister reveals that their parents left both of them to go on a journey.
* RecurringBoss: Faced a couple times during the game, the last time as part of a BossRush involving all the rivals except Calem/Serena.
* RedheadInGreen: He is redheaded and wears mostly green clothing.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Tierno's Red Oni.
* RefusalOfTheCall: While he's fine with filling the Pokédex, his knee-jerk reaction to having Team Flare's activities explained to him is to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere decide that it's best to stay away from them.]] It doesn't stick.
* SignatureMon: The Flabébé line, which is the only one he owns across all continuities.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: A full head shorter than any of his friends (and that's including his hair).
* TheSmartGuy: Seemingly fills this role as your friend.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: He's the Straight Man with Tierno's Wise Guy.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Shauna ''[-(Sana)-]'']]
!!Shauna / Sana (サナ ''sana'')
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/259px-xy_shauna_5244.png]]
A spunky girl whom you befriend at the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Seems to be a shade or two darker than her friends, with an Arabic name in the Japanese version. France ''does'' have a sizable Middle Eastern population.
* BabiesEverAfter: Not Shauna herself, but her starter. She'll trade you the offspring for any Pokémon in the post game, and it has a nature that amplifies its greatest stat, along with 31 [=IVs=] in that particular stat.
* BatmanGambit: During the final confrontation with Team Flare's Admins, she cowardly runs away screaming how she "hates being chased." A Team Flare Admin then suspects Shauna intentionally fled in order to split up the admins, who were outnumbering the protagonists six to three. Nonetheless, while Shauna does succeed in luring away two Admins, Serena or Calem also follows after Shauna, leaving the main character all alone to defeat the remaining four admins.
* ChekhovsSkill: Her love for solving puzzles and close friendship with Clemont and Bonnie comes in handy later down the story when you deal with Team Flare the final time, in which her skills help open the final locked door to the machine.
* TheChick: Of the team of friends in Kalos, as the most cheerful and emotional member of the team.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Pink.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: When battled on Route 19 before Couriway Town, she has a Goodra at Level 49 when it can only evolve from Sliggoo at level 50.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: One could easily mistake Shauna as someone similar to Bianca given she is less interested in Pokémon battling than the main rival, but she tags along on the final quest to take down Team Flare. In your second battle with her on Route 19, she just happens to own a [[InfinityMinusOneSword Goodra]].
* TheDitz: She's genuinely surprised about how Poké Balls worked during the Rival's catching tutorial, despite seeing them in action not 5 minutes before, and living in a universe where this should be common knowledge.
--> '''Shauna''': The Pokémon went INSIDE the Poké Ball?
--> '''Rival Character''': Shauna... What do you think your Chespin/Fennekin/Froakie is inside of right now?
* DragonTamer: From her second battle onwards, she uses the pure Dragon-type Goodra.
* ForHappiness: Shauna's reason for journeying is simply to have fun and make some memories with her friends and Pokémon.
* GenkiGirl: Her Omura art has her with an enormous grin and WordOfGod describes her "an incredibly energetic girl" who's "friendly and outgoing."
* GirlishPigtails: She has four of them.
* TheHeart: Values friendship and teamwork. She's also one of the driving forces for pushing the rival towards enjoying things aside from just getting stronger. Her starter Pokémon will also ''always'' be female. This is a first compared to the rivals having male ones.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Serena if they are the player's rival.
* HiddenDepths:
** She is much more insightful than her bubbly exterior would suggest. It also seems that she is the only one of the gang who really savors the memories they're creating on their journey. There is also the fact she is a fan of puzzles.
** As the above BatmanGambit indicates, she's also good at understanding people, and can be unexpectedly cunning in a crisis.
* TheLoad: Played with. Shauna ''thinks'' that she has become this for Calem and Serena by the time you infiltrate Team Flare's base, even though the game never makes her come off as annoying, useless, or holding anyone back at any point in the story. You reassure her that she isn't and never was.
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name is Arabic for "sunshine" or "brilliance."
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her top, bag and sandals are pink, and she's a rather feminine girl as well as TheHeart.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Calem if he's the player's rival.
* RecurringBoss: The first trainer you battle in the beginning of the game, using the starter weak to yours. Then she battles you much later in the game as the first of a BossRush involving all the rivals except Calem/Serena.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to the rival's Blue Oni, who is more reserved and mature.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Calem, she is the more irresponsible one. Even more so if Calem is the rival.
* SayItWithHearts: She says things with a musical note at the end often.
* ShipperOnDeck: Hinted as one for Calem and Serena (regardless of which one you're playing as). She'll say they're the strongest and make a good combination.
* ShipTease: With the protagonist, regardless of gender, at Parfum Palace. The game is less subtle about it with Calem, though.
-->'''Shauna''': "Um... I've never watched fireworks alone with a boy, before. I'll remember this forever."
* SignatureMon: Unlike her friends, she doesn't really have one. The only one to appear in multiple continuities is the Skitty line (game and ''Adventures''), though ''Adventures'' also heavily associates her with Furfrou since that version of her wants to be a groomer. In the games themselves, she gets the Kalos starter not chosen by Calem or Serena, making her the true "friendly rival" and third member of that starter three.
* UncattyResemblance: Shauna's design seems to be inspired by Minccino and Pachirisu, though she doesn't necessarily own either one.
* VerbalTic: Accentuates her lines with musical notes, like so ♪.
* WeNeedADistraction: Both at the Poké Ball Factory and Flare's Geosenge Headquarters, she uses herself to distract members of Team Flare to run after her.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's implied to have received one of the Kanto starters you didn't choose, but just like the primary rival she's never seen using it.
%%* WhoWearsShortShorts: She does!

The protagonists and rivals of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:General Tropes]]
* ActionFashionista: The player can customize both characters in a variety of clothing from casual, to extremely professional, and in some cases elegant. And, of course, you can kick plenty of ass while dressed as such.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The player will be superior to their rival counterpart when it comes to battling, and will always have a more completed Pokédex than Trevor.
* ButNotTooBlack: The character customization features give you precisely ''one'' dark skin color, which is on the lighter side anyway.
* BackToBackBadasses: The player will just as frequently team up with their rival as they will battle against them.
* BigThinShortTrio: Tierno is the Big, Shauna is the Thin and Trevor is the Short.
* BreakTheHaughty: Despite being straightforward with training and actively getting stronger while doing everything right, your rival can never beat you and they'll always question why.
* CantCatchUp: Your rival will go through a good deal of existential angst over losing to you when you beat him/her in a battle for the Mega Ring.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Unlike Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna, who have their own priorities, the rival will actively try to foil Team Flare's schemes, not unlike the player themselves.
* ColorMotif: Calem's default outfit has colors resembling Xerneas while Serena's default outfit has colors resembling Yveltal, their outfits can also be customized to suit the player's own personal personality or elemental preferences.
%%* CoolShades: Wears a pair over his/her hat.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: A possibility for those who choose the darkest skin color and have their hair dyed at the hair salon.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Also an option if one who picks the darkest skintone and gets their hair dyed.
* DeadpanSnarker: As a Rival.
* DeclarationOfProtection: The rival will feel it is their duty to look after and protect their friends from people like Team Flare.
* DragonTamer: From their fifth battle onwards the rival will have the Flying/Dragon Altaria on their team.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Zig-Zagged. [[spoiler:At the end, after defeating Diantha, the PlayerCharacter, TheRival, and the other three are treated to a parade and are personally given the "Honor of Kalos" as thanks for taking down Team Flare.]] In the Battle Chateau, however, an AlphaBitch trainer will talk trash about your clothes saying "Did you dress yourself in the dark or dig them out of the garbage" regardless whether or not if you're the most stylish trainer in all of Kalos with the most expensive chic clothing.
* AFatherToHisMen: The player's ability to utilize the Mega Ring implies that they share a special bond of trust and friendship with their Pokémon.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: ''Much'' more so than the others listed here. Even their ''skin color'' is mutable at character creation, and virtually everything else about their appearance can be changed at will at any point during the game. It's very unlikely that any two given Gen VI protags will look exactly alike, especially when comparing players who have unlocked everything.
* FiveManBand: With a 2:3 female to male ratio with the opposite gendered player characters and the 3 friendly rivals as a departure from the usual trio of the only having one rival. The Player and the opposite gendered Rival trade off on TheLeader and TheLancer roles. Shauna is TheChick as the most supportive, and girly member. Tierno is TheBigGuy for both his large size, and his focus on dancing moves that all either boost offensive ability, or are strong attacking moves. Trevor is TheSmartGuy who is more focused on finishing the Pokédex and learning about new types of Pokémon. They even fit the [[ColorCodedCharacters stereotypes color-wise]] with the leader and lancer as red and blue, big as yellow, smart as green, and chick as pink.
* FreudianTrio: The Player is [[TheKirk Ego]], The Rival is [[TheSpock Super Ego]] and Shauna is [[TheMcCoy Id]].
* GogglesDoNothing: As the player, they have sunglasses on their hat as part of the default outfit, but they're never actually used for anything.
* GoodCounterpart: To Lysandre, the Team Flare Boss. Both of them start out as Sycamore's disciples, run errands for the man, and at some point become able to use Mega Evolution. The difference in how they acquire Mega Evolution exemplify this best; while Lysandre uses a contraption to force his Pokémon to Mega Evolve, the protagonist is able to use it through the Mega Ring, and their bond with their Pokémon to bring out true strength.
* TheHero: As the player character.
* HumbleHero: Though it doesn't have an effect on the story, there are a few dialogue options at certain points that are more modest than others.
* IconicItem: The player eventually assumes possession of the Mega Ring. The rival later gains possession of one post-game.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: The rival will become slightly envious of the player, realizing that the player was simply meant for greater things than they are.
* InformedAttractiveness: Eventually, after performing enough stylish actions, many establishments around Lumiose City will comment in awe of how stylish the player is, even if you've never changed your hair or clothes since rolling out of bed.
* InSeriesNickname: Near the beginning of the game, the player can create a nickname for the rest of the group to refer to them by.
* TheLeader:
** Whoever the rival is will initially serve this role; Levelheaded type, while the player starts off as their {{Lancer}}.
** The PlayerCharacter turns into a Charismatic type over the course of the game, with everyone, even the rival who has now been demoted to TheLancer, looking up to them.
* LegacyCharacter: Looker presents the player with the codename "Looker" after he leaves Kalos.
* LonerTurnedFriend: As a rival, they act rather aloof from the beginning, mainly focusing on training rather than hanging around. By the time you take down Team Flare, however, they have a change in attitude and become more personable with the rest of the gang.
* MagicalAccessory: Their bracelets are Mega Rings, used to activate Mega Evolution.
* MeaningfulName:
** Calem and Serena's names (both in English and Japanese) come from the words "calm" and "serene," respectively.
** Their promotional names Xavier and Yvonne are fairly common [[FantasyCounterPartCulture French names]] that start with X and Y. Their respective meanings have no other correlation.
* NaiveNewcomer: As usual, the player character starts off completely new to Pokémon training, but they are also implied to be new to much of the Kalos Region as well. Luckily their rival will show them the ropes.
* NiceHat: Interestingly, only the player keeps the hat.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: The rival starts to feel this way during the fight with Team Flare at the Poké Ball Factory.
--> ''"But if I keep relying on you like this, going on this journey will lose its meaning..."''
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: At the beginning of the game, Serena wears pink pajamas, but Calem wears light blue pajamas.
* ProtagonistPowerupPrivileges: As the PlayerCharacter, they are the only one of the five who gets to use the Mega Evolution mechanic. Justified given that they defeated the other candidate and there was only one ring available at the time. As a rival, they get access to Mega Evolution Post-game.
* QuicklyDemotedLeader: The Rival starts off as the member with the most experience, but after you finally battle, it becomes clear that the player has overtaken them.
%%* RedOniBlueOni: The rival will be the Blue Oni to the player's Red Oni. The player, however, will be the Blue Oni to Shauna's Red.
* TheRival: Like in ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'', the character you don't choose is in fact your main rival and they mainly focus on getting stronger than you. The other three are secondary rivals, but they don't come near as close to the main rival's level.
* RollerBladeGood: The player gets a pair early on, and can learn an assortment of awesome tricks like backflips and swirls.
* RookieRedRanger: Despite being the group's newest member, the player character quickly becomes its most capable battler.
* ShipTease: With each other, and the player character with Shauna.
* SignatureMon: The protagonist actually gets three: the Kalos Starter, a Kanto Starter, and Mega Lucario. The rival has the Kalos starter and Mega Absol.
* SilentProtagonist: Played with. You don't have explicit pre-created dialogue like the [=NPCs=] do but the options this generation are far more specific than in previous gens.
* SuperMode: The first protagonists to be able to use Mega Evolution.[[note]]Although Red can Mega Evolve his Starters in ''Sun and Moon'', he is not a playable character at that point.[[/note]] The rival character gets a Mega Evolution in form of Mega Absol in the post-came.
* TeamDad: The rival, who leads by example, and likes to protect rather than support.
* TeamMom: The player. The few dialogue options available to the player will always have one gentle, supportive option.
* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: Calem, Serena and Shauna. Each of them receives one of the three starter Pokémon.
* TheUnchosenOne: The rival really wants to be TheChosenOne, but unfortunately for them, it would seem the player already holds the position.
* VagueAge:
** Some outfit-and-hair combinations can make Serena look like a [[Characters/PokemonAnimeOriginalSeries certain other 10-year-old tomboy]] in the franchise or make her and Calem look ''younger'' than even Red (Serena's "cute" clothes + pigtails are good at this), while others, particularly ones from Lumiose and Snowbelle, can make them look practically like a college student. By default, they have the air of a teenager, however.
* VirtualPaperDoll: In addition to choosing their skin color, the player can dress their selected character in a variety of different outfits.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Your rival receives one of the Kanto starters from Sycamore and the fossil you didn't pick in Glittering Cave, but they never use them.
** They also have a Fletchling and catch a Bunnelby during the tutorial, and never use them again.

[[folder:Calem ''[-(Calme)-]'']]
!!Calem / Calme (カルム ''karumu'')
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/calem_xy.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/ZachAguilar (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - EN), Creator/KenshoOno (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - JP)
The male main character (and rival if you choose Serena) of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. This young man has just recently moved to Vaniville Town in Kalos, along with his mother, Grace. Given his mother's previous occupation as a Rhyhorn racer, and his close bond with the family Rhyhorn, Professor Sycamore decides he's the perfect candidate to help with Sycamore's research into "Mega Evolution," and has Calem summoned to his laboratory in Lumiose City.
Calem hasn't appeared in anime adaptations, but his clothes served as one of the [[WholeCostumeReference inspirations for Ash's new outfit]] in the ''Pokémon X and Y'' anime (the other inspiration is Red's ''[=FireRed & LeafGreen=]'' costume). His ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' counterpart is simply called "X".
----
* AnimeHair: {{Averted}}. He's one of the few male protagonists to have a normal hairstyle. Even his alternate hairstyles don't really get all that crazy (certainly nothing approaching Nate).
* {{Bishonen}}: Compared to other male protagonists of previous generations, he really is very good-looking, which can help contribute to the "older" side of his VagueAge.
* BlueIsHeroic: His default outfit heavily features blue.
* ColorCodedCharacters: His primary color and speech balloon (when he's the rival) are blue.
* ColorMotif: He wears blue, white and red, the same colors as the French flag.
* TheDandy: Can be played this way with the Trainer customization feature.
* IneffectualLoner: ''Pokémon Masters'' makes him one, showing a tendency to go off on his own. In keeping with the series' idealism, he's less cynical about friendship than most examples; he's just not used to working in a team, and he wants to handle things himself so others aren't burdened by them. Nonetheless, he still gets in over his head without the rest of the team backing him up. Ironically, he finds the idea of giving gifts to others while alone embarrassing.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Not overly long, but still there.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He is not as tall as some {{NPC}}s, but he is tallest of the main group, appearing taller than Tierno.
* PrimaryColorChampion: Calem's default outfit is predominantly blue and red.
* SignatureMon: Art from the games shows him with the Froakie line and Charmander line, and his clothes are thematically similar to Xerneas. Ash wearing his clothes in the anime also had Froakie. In both ''Generations'' and ''Adventures'' his equivalent keeps Charmander, but has Chespin instead of Froakie. ''Pokémon Masters'' goes with a dark-horse pick and gives him an Espurr, which Calem does use as a rival, being his lead Pokémon from Glittering Cave onward.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: By default, Calem looks and dresses similarly to Hilbert. At least he can be customized for those who wanted more variety. As the rival he acts more like Cheren instead.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Serena]]
!!Serena (セレナ ''serena'')
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/serena_xy.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/JackieLastra (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - EN), Creator/AkariKitou (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - JP)
The female main character (and rival if you choose Calem) of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. This young lady has just recently moved to Vaniville Town in Kalos, along with her mother, Grace. Given her mother's previous occupation as a Rhyhorn racer, and her close bond with the family Rhyhorn, Professor Sycamore decides she's the perfect candidate to help with Sycamore's research into "Mega Evolution," and has Serena summoned to his laboratory in Lumiose City.
[[YoungerAndHipper A younger version]] of Serena served as one of the protagonists in the ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY'' [[Characters/PokemonTheSeriesXYCast anime]] [[note]]and, as the run concluded, went on to become one of the most notable and discussed characters in the history of the franchise, largely because of her much more prominent crush on Ash, particularly the implied kiss at the end[[/note]]. In ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' her full name is Yvonne Gabena, and is simply nicknamed as "Y".
----
* BareYourMidriff: All the Parka and Halter top options give her this.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: A few of her clothing options can give her this look, such as the shirt-and-tie combos at the Lumiose boutique.
* CallBack: Her Sync Pair variants in ''Masters'' feature her with different hairstyles on top of her outfits unlike the rest of the Sync Pairs that only get new outfits, likely as a reference to her home game being the introduction to trainer customization.
* CensorShadow: Allows Serena to effectively combine short skirts and roller-blading without any threat of exposure.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Her primary color and speech balloons (when she's the rival) are red.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: It's implied that Shauna has a crush on the main character, [[LesYay even when it's Serena]].
* FamilyThemeNaming: In the English versions, combining her name and her mother's will result in two words one letter away from an existing Pokémon Ability-Serene Grace.
* {{Fangirl}}: She states in ''Masters'' that she has been a longtime fan of Elesa, both as a model and a Trainer.
* TheFashionista: She's the [[http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-25/pxy-trainer-customization.html poster child]] of the Trainer customization feature, and there are ''far'' more clothing and hair styles available if you're playing as her [[MenswearGhetto rather than Calem]]. ''Masters'' expands on this by giving her, as a character, a love of fashion and shopping.
* GirlishPigtails: Becomes an option at the barbershop after the player becomes sufficiently stylish.
%%* HartmanHips: Shown in her picture above.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: As a Rival with Shauna.
* LittleBlackDress: One of her outfits you can get when she's the protagonist. It's even called the Little Black Dress.
* MinidressOfPower: Her default outfit is a very short skirt as well all other skirt and dress outfits, and she can be the most powerful trainer in the region.
* MsFanservice: Some of her clothing options are {{Stripperiffic}}, the other characters in the game wear more clothing than her including Malva.
* NiceGirl: Becomes a point of focus in ''Masters'''s Verdant Guardian Story Event. [[spoiler:Zygarde comes to learn from Serena's willingness to help it find its cells and uses that compassion to scatter its cells all over again in order to help an injured Hiker recover his stolen Sandshrew from Team Break. Sycamore theorizes that Zygarde learned from Serena's compassion.]]
* NoblewomansLaugh: Appears to do one in ''Masters'', specifically as part of her unique interaction with her Delphox.
* OlympusMons: ''Masters'' gives her Zygarde for her Sygna Suit variant.
* ShesGotLegs: Her long legs are especially highlighted by her ZettaiRyouiki and MinidressOfPower.
* SignatureMon: The Fennekin line in most artwork and adaptations, including the anime and ''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'', with the exception of ''Adventures'' and her appearance in the "Gotcha!" music video where she's shown with the Froakie line. Squirtle is also her Kanto starter of choice, and her clothes are thematically similar to Yveltal. Meanwhile, ''Masters'' gives her Zygarde for her Sygna Suit variant.
* StockingFiller: Her default thigh-high stockings or as they're labeled in game, "OTK (Over The Knee) Socks," and about a third of all the sock options.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Considered this with the more revealing outfits and short skirt.
* SweetBaker: She is portrayed in ''Masters'' as an altruistic, levelheaded young woman who has made desserts as a hobby.
* TomboyishPonytail: As the rival. As the player character, you can also style her hair as such at the barbershop if the player is sufficiently stylish.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Every one of her shorts options.

[[folder:Tierno]]
!!Tierno (ティエルノ ''tieruno'')
[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-xy_tierno_5964.png]]
An excitable boy whom you befriend at the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. Obsessed with dancing, his goal is to create a troupe of performing Pokémon dancers.
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his size, he is very light on his feet and a good dancer. He aims to create a dance team with his Pokémon.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: The description of him provided states he tends to get distracted by their opponents moves during battle because he is trying to incorporate them into his choreography.
* BigFun: He has a plump body and a huge heart.
* TheBigGuy: The largest of the friends and his signature Pokémon is the offense-oriented Corphish. Though battling isn't Tierno's main priority, dancing is a very physical activity. Also most dancing moves deal with boosting offense (Swords Dance, Dragon Dance, Rain Dance) or dealing heavy damage (Petal Dance).
* ButThouMust: Give yourself a nickname. Of course, you ''could'' just [[LoopholeAbuse make your nickname the same as your in-game name]].
* ColorCodedCharacters: Yellow.
* CoordinatedClothes: If the player character is a boy, it is possible to purchase the same shirt Tierno wears, which is appropriately titled "Twin T-Shirt."[[note]]Available at Cyllage City on weekends[[/note]]
* DanceBattler: He aims to create a team of Pokémon dancers. Case in point, the first time you battle him, his "starter" is a Corphish and it knows [[StatusBuff Swords Dance]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: His "starter" is a Corphish that becomes a Water/Dark Crawdaunt, but he is a pretty affable guy.
* FlatCharacter: He never gets a chance to share a character-building moment with the player unlike the other three rivals, nor can his house be visited for any possible backstory a la Trevor.
* GentleGiant: Rather big, but friendly.
* MeaningfulName: His name is Spanish for soft or tender (as in food), but when used to refer to a person it means inexperienced.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Helping Dexio and Sina rescue the Pokémon on Route 10.
* RealMenWearPink: He is TheBigGuy of the group, but his greatest passion is dancing and his goal is to make a team of [[DanceBattler Dance Battlers]].
* RecurringBoss: Faced a couple times during the game, the last time as part of a BossRush involving all the rivals except Calem/Serena.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Trevor's Blue Oni.
* SignatureMon: Corphish, which is the only one he uses in his first ''two'' battles with the player (out of three, though in the second he teams Corphish with two of Trevor's), and his only Pokémon in ''Adventures''.
* SphereEyes: Noticeably, making his character design a little nonstandard.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: He's Wise Guy with Trevor's Straight Man.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Trevor ''[-(Trova)-]'']]
!!Trevor / Trova (トロバ ''toroba'')
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/100px-xy_trevor_4750.png]]
A curious boy from Lumiose City whom you befriend at the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. He doesn't much care for battling, and prefers to challenge the player on who has more entries in their Pokédex.
----
* CatchPhrase: "To put another way..."
* CharacterDevelopment: Shauna describes him at the beginning as very shy, and towards the end of the game she now remarks that he seems bolder, evidenced by his challenging the player to a battle.
* ColorCodedCharacters: He's TheSmartGuy, and has a green color scheme.
* DeadpanSnarker: Much of his dialogue towards Tierno comes off as sarcasm.
* DragonTamer: At the Battle Maison, he can have the Rock/Dragon [[DinosaursAreDragons Tyrantrum]] as his partner.
* FossilRevival: Seems to be his thing, as he has Aerodactyl in his fight on Route 19, and both Kalos fossil Mons in the Battle Maison, namely Tyrantrum and Aurorus.
* GottaCatchEmAll: His goal is to be the first out of his friends to complete the Pokédex.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: If you talk to him post-game, he will mention a random Pokémon capable of Mega evolving and react with joy if you have it recorded in your Pokédex with a remark that "it's nice having the same Pokémon as them". Considering this is his reaction to any mon owned, he may have Pokémon like Garchomp and others stored up but never uses them. And that ''includes'' [[GoneHorriblyRight Mewtwo]], of all [[OlympusMons mons]]!
* MeaningfulName: More of a PunnyName than a name meaning compared to the others, but Trevor is similar to ''trouver'' which is French for "to find." It's also Irish for industrious or prudent.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Helping Dexio and Sina rescue the Pokémon on Route 10.
* ParentalAbandonment: You can find his house near Jaune Plaza in Lumiose, where his sister reveals that their parents left both of them to go on a journey.
* RecurringBoss: Faced a couple times during the game, the last time as part of a BossRush involving all the rivals except Calem/Serena.
* RedheadInGreen: He is redheaded and wears mostly green clothing.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Tierno's Red Oni.
* RefusalOfTheCall: While he's fine with filling the Pokédex, his knee-jerk reaction to having Team Flare's activities explained to him is to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere decide that it's best to stay away from them.]] It doesn't stick.
* SignatureMon: The Flabébé line, which is the only one he owns across all continuities.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: A full head shorter than any of his friends (and that's including his hair).
* TheSmartGuy: Seemingly fills this role as your friend.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: He's the Straight Man with Tierno's Wise Guy.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Shauna ''[-(Sana)-]'']]
!!Shauna / Sana (サナ ''sana'')
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/259px-xy_shauna_5244.png]]
A spunky girl whom you befriend at the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Seems to be a shade or two darker than her friends, with an Arabic name in the Japanese version. France ''does'' have a sizable Middle Eastern population.
* BabiesEverAfter: Not Shauna herself, but her starter. She'll trade you the offspring for any Pokémon in the post game, and it has a nature that amplifies its greatest stat, along with 31 [=IVs=] in that particular stat.
* BatmanGambit: During the final confrontation with Team Flare's Admins, she cowardly runs away screaming how she "hates being chased." A Team Flare Admin then suspects Shauna intentionally fled in order to split up the admins, who were outnumbering the protagonists six to three. Nonetheless, while Shauna does succeed in luring away two Admins, Serena or Calem also follows after Shauna, leaving the main character all alone to defeat the remaining four admins.
* ChekhovsSkill: Her love for solving puzzles and close friendship with Clemont and Bonnie comes in handy later down the story when you deal with Team Flare the final time, in which her skills help open the final locked door to the machine.
* TheChick: Of the team of friends in Kalos, as the most cheerful and emotional member of the team.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Pink.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: When battled on Route 19 before Couriway Town, she has a Goodra at Level 49 when it can only evolve from Sliggoo at level 50.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: One could easily mistake Shauna as someone similar to Bianca given she is less interested in Pokémon battling than the main rival, but she tags along on the final quest to take down Team Flare. In your second battle with her on Route 19, she just happens to own a [[InfinityMinusOneSword Goodra]].
* TheDitz: She's genuinely surprised about how Poké Balls worked during the Rival's catching tutorial, despite seeing them in action not 5 minutes before, and living in a universe where this should be common knowledge.
--> '''Shauna''': The Pokémon went INSIDE the Poké Ball?
--> '''Rival Character''': Shauna... What do you think your Chespin/Fennekin/Froakie is inside of right now?
* DragonTamer: From her second battle onwards, she uses the pure Dragon-type Goodra.
* ForHappiness: Shauna's reason for journeying is simply to have fun and make some memories with her friends and Pokémon.
* GenkiGirl: Her Omura art has her with an enormous grin and WordOfGod describes her "an incredibly energetic girl" who's "friendly and outgoing."
* GirlishPigtails: She has four of them.
* TheHeart: Values friendship and teamwork. She's also one of the driving forces for pushing the rival towards enjoying things aside from just getting stronger. Her starter Pokémon will also ''always'' be female. This is a first compared to the rivals having male ones.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Serena if they are the player's rival.
* HiddenDepths:
** She is much more insightful than her bubbly exterior would suggest. It also seems that she is the only one of the gang who really savors the memories they're creating on their journey. There is also the fact she is a fan of puzzles.
** As the above BatmanGambit indicates, she's also good at understanding people, and can be unexpectedly cunning in a crisis.
* TheLoad: Played with. Shauna ''thinks'' that she has become this for Calem and Serena by the time you infiltrate Team Flare's base, even though the game never makes her come off as annoying, useless, or holding anyone back at any point in the story. You reassure her that she isn't and never was.
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name is Arabic for "sunshine" or "brilliance."
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her top, bag and sandals are pink, and she's a rather feminine girl as well as TheHeart.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Calem if he's the player's rival.
* RecurringBoss: The first trainer you battle in the beginning of the game, using the starter weak to yours. Then she battles you much later in the game as the first of a BossRush involving all the rivals except Calem/Serena.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to the rival's Blue Oni, who is more reserved and mature.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Calem, she is the more irresponsible one. Even more so if Calem is the rival.
* SayItWithHearts: She says things with a musical note at the end often.
* ShipperOnDeck: Hinted as one for Calem and Serena (regardless of which one you're playing as). She'll say they're the strongest and make a good combination.
* ShipTease: With the protagonist, regardless of gender, at Parfum Palace. The game is less subtle about it with Calem, though.
-->'''Shauna''': "Um... I've never watched fireworks alone with a boy, before. I'll remember this forever."
* SignatureMon: Unlike her friends, she doesn't really have one. The only one to appear in multiple continuities is the Skitty line (game and ''Adventures''), though ''Adventures'' also heavily associates her with Furfrou since that version of her wants to be a groomer. In the games themselves, she gets the Kalos starter not chosen by Calem or Serena, making her the true "friendly rival" and third member of that starter three.
* UncattyResemblance: Shauna's design seems to be inspired by Minccino and Pachirisu, though she doesn't necessarily own either one.
* VerbalTic: Accentuates her lines with musical notes, like so ♪.
* WeNeedADistraction: Both at the Poké Ball Factory and Flare's Geosenge Headquarters, she uses herself to distract members of Team Flare to run after her.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's implied to have received one of the Kanto starters you didn't choose, but just like the primary rival she's never seen using it.
%%* WhoWearsShortShorts: She does!

The protagonists and rivals of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:General Tropes]]
* ActionFashionista: The player can customize both characters in a variety of clothing from casual, to extremely professional, and in some cases elegant. And, of course, you can kick plenty of ass while dressed as such.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The player will be superior to their rival counterpart when it comes to battling, and will always have a more completed Pokédex than Trevor.
* ButNotTooBlack: The character customization features give you precisely ''one'' dark skin color, which is on the lighter side anyway.
* BackToBackBadasses: The player will just as frequently team up with their rival as they will battle against them.
* BigThinShortTrio: Tierno is the Big, Shauna is the Thin and Trevor is the Short.
* BreakTheHaughty: Despite being straightforward with training and actively getting stronger while doing everything right, your rival can never beat you and they'll always question why.
* CantCatchUp: Your rival will go through a good deal of existential angst over losing to you when you beat him/her in a battle for the Mega Ring.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Unlike Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna, who have their own priorities, the rival will actively try to foil Team Flare's schemes, not unlike the player themselves.
* ColorMotif: Calem's default outfit has colors resembling Xerneas while Serena's default outfit has colors resembling Yveltal, their outfits can also be customized to suit the player's own personal personality or elemental preferences.
%%* CoolShades: Wears a pair over his/her hat.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: A possibility for those who choose the darkest skin color and have their hair dyed at the hair salon.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Also an option if one who picks the darkest skintone and gets their hair dyed.
* DeadpanSnarker: As a Rival.
* DeclarationOfProtection: The rival will feel it is their duty to look after and protect their friends from people like Team Flare.
* DragonTamer: From their fifth battle onwards the rival will have the Flying/Dragon Altaria on their team.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Zig-Zagged. [[spoiler:At the end, after defeating Diantha, the PlayerCharacter, TheRival, and the other three are treated to a parade and are personally given the "Honor of Kalos" as thanks for taking down Team Flare.]] In the Battle Chateau, however, an AlphaBitch trainer will talk trash about your clothes saying "Did you dress yourself in the dark or dig them out of the garbage" regardless whether or not if you're the most stylish trainer in all of Kalos with the most expensive chic clothing.
* AFatherToHisMen: The player's ability to utilize the Mega Ring implies that they share a special bond of trust and friendship with their Pokémon.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: ''Much'' more so than the others listed here. Even their ''skin color'' is mutable at character creation, and virtually everything else about their appearance can be changed at will at any point during the game. It's very unlikely that any two given Gen VI protags will look exactly alike, especially when comparing players who have unlocked everything.
* FiveManBand: With a 2:3 female to male ratio with the opposite gendered player characters and the 3 friendly rivals as a departure from the usual trio of the only having one rival. The Player and the opposite gendered Rival trade off on TheLeader and TheLancer roles. Shauna is TheChick as the most supportive, and girly member. Tierno is TheBigGuy for both his large size, and his focus on dancing moves that all either boost offensive ability, or are strong attacking moves. Trevor is TheSmartGuy who is more focused on finishing the Pokédex and learning about new types of Pokémon. They even fit the [[ColorCodedCharacters stereotypes color-wise]] with the leader and lancer as red and blue, big as yellow, smart as green, and chick as pink.
* FreudianTrio: The Player is [[TheKirk Ego]], The Rival is [[TheSpock Super Ego]] and Shauna is [[TheMcCoy Id]].
* GogglesDoNothing: As the player, they have sunglasses on their hat as part of the default outfit, but they're never actually used for anything.
* GoodCounterpart: To Lysandre, the Team Flare Boss. Both of them start out as Sycamore's disciples, run errands for the man, and at some point become able to use Mega Evolution. The difference in how they acquire Mega Evolution exemplify this best; while Lysandre uses a contraption to force his Pokémon to Mega Evolve, the protagonist is able to use it through the Mega Ring, and their bond with their Pokémon to bring out true strength.
* TheHero: As the player character.
* HumbleHero: Though it doesn't have an effect on the story, there are a few dialogue options at certain points that are more modest than others.
* IconicItem: The player eventually assumes possession of the Mega Ring. The rival later gains possession of one post-game.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: The rival will become slightly envious of the player, realizing that the player was simply meant for greater things than they are.
* InformedAttractiveness: Eventually, after performing enough stylish actions, many establishments around Lumiose City will comment in awe of how stylish the player is, even if you've never changed your hair or clothes since rolling out of bed.
* InSeriesNickname: Near the beginning of the game, the player can create a nickname for the rest of the group to refer to them by.
* TheLeader:
** Whoever the rival is will initially serve this role; Levelheaded type, while the player starts off as their {{Lancer}}.
** The PlayerCharacter turns into a Charismatic type over the course of the game, with everyone, even the rival who has now been demoted to TheLancer, looking up to them.
* LegacyCharacter: Looker presents the player with the codename "Looker" after he leaves Kalos.
* LonerTurnedFriend: As a rival, they act rather aloof from the beginning, mainly focusing on training rather than hanging around. By the time you take down Team Flare, however, they have a change in attitude and become more personable with the rest of the gang.
* MagicalAccessory: Their bracelets are Mega Rings, used to activate Mega Evolution.
* MeaningfulName:
** Calem and Serena's names (both in English and Japanese) come from the words "calm" and "serene," respectively.
** Their promotional names Xavier and Yvonne are fairly common [[FantasyCounterPartCulture French names]] that start with X and Y. Their respective meanings have no other correlation.
* NaiveNewcomer: As usual, the player character starts off completely new to Pokémon training, but they are also implied to be new to much of the Kalos Region as well. Luckily their rival will show them the ropes.
* NiceHat: Interestingly, only the player keeps the hat.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: The rival starts to feel this way during the fight with Team Flare at the Poké Ball Factory.
--> ''"But if I keep relying on you like this, going on this journey will lose its meaning..."''
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: At the beginning of the game, Serena wears pink pajamas, but Calem wears light blue pajamas.
* ProtagonistPowerupPrivileges: As the PlayerCharacter, they are the only one of the five who gets to use the Mega Evolution mechanic. Justified given that they defeated the other candidate and there was only one ring available at the time. As a rival, they get access to Mega Evolution Post-game.
* QuicklyDemotedLeader: The Rival starts off as the member with the most experience, but after you finally battle, it becomes clear that the player has overtaken them.
%%* RedOniBlueOni: The rival will be the Blue Oni to the player's Red Oni. The player, however, will be the Blue Oni to Shauna's Red.
* TheRival: Like in ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'', the character you don't choose is in fact your main rival and they mainly focus on getting stronger than you. The other three are secondary rivals, but they don't come near as close to the main rival's level.
* RollerBladeGood: The player gets a pair early on, and can learn an assortment of awesome tricks like backflips and swirls.
* RookieRedRanger: Despite being the group's newest member, the player character quickly becomes its most capable battler.
* ShipTease: With each other, and the player character with Shauna.
* SignatureMon: The protagonist actually gets three: the Kalos Starter, a Kanto Starter, and Mega Lucario. The rival has the Kalos starter and Mega Absol.
* SilentProtagonist: Played with. You don't have explicit pre-created dialogue like the [=NPCs=] do but the options this generation are far more specific than in previous gens.
* SuperMode: The first protagonists to be able to use Mega Evolution.[[note]]Although Red can Mega Evolve his Starters in ''Sun and Moon'', he is not a playable character at that point.[[/note]] The rival character gets a Mega Evolution in form of Mega Absol in the post-came.
* TeamDad: The rival, who leads by example, and likes to protect rather than support.
* TeamMom: The player. The few dialogue options available to the player will always have one gentle, supportive option.
* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: Calem, Serena and Shauna. Each of them receives one of the three starter Pokémon.
* TheUnchosenOne: The rival really wants to be TheChosenOne, but unfortunately for them, it would seem the player already holds the position.
* VagueAge:
** Some outfit-and-hair combinations can make Serena look like a [[Characters/PokemonAnimeOriginalSeries certain other 10-year-old tomboy]] in the franchise or make her and Calem look ''younger'' than even Red (Serena's "cute" clothes + pigtails are good at this), while others, particularly ones from Lumiose and Snowbelle, can make them look practically like a college student. By default, they have the air of a teenager, however.
* VirtualPaperDoll: In addition to choosing their skin color, the player can dress their selected character in a variety of different outfits.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Your rival receives one of the Kanto starters from Sycamore and the fossil you didn't pick in Glittering Cave, but they never use them.
** They also have a Fletchling and catch a Bunnelby during the tutorial, and never use them again.

[[folder:Calem ''[-(Calme)-]'']]
!!Calem / Calme (カルム ''karumu'')
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/calem_xy.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/ZachAguilar (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - EN), Creator/KenshoOno (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - JP)
The male main character (and rival if you choose Serena) of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. This young man has just recently moved to Vaniville Town in Kalos, along with his mother, Grace. Given his mother's previous occupation as a Rhyhorn racer, and his close bond with the family Rhyhorn, Professor Sycamore decides he's the perfect candidate to help with Sycamore's research into "Mega Evolution," and has Calem summoned to his laboratory in Lumiose City.
Calem hasn't appeared in anime adaptations, but his clothes served as one of the [[WholeCostumeReference inspirations for Ash's new outfit]] in the ''Pokémon X and Y'' anime (the other inspiration is Red's ''[=FireRed & LeafGreen=]'' costume). His ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' counterpart is simply called "X".
----
* AnimeHair: {{Averted}}. He's one of the few male protagonists to have a normal hairstyle. Even his alternate hairstyles don't really get all that crazy (certainly nothing approaching Nate).
* {{Bishonen}}: Compared to other male protagonists of previous generations, he really is very good-looking, which can help contribute to the "older" side of his VagueAge.
* BlueIsHeroic: His default outfit heavily features blue.
* ColorCodedCharacters: His primary color and speech balloon (when he's the rival) are blue.
* ColorMotif: He wears blue, white and red, the same colors as the French flag.
* TheDandy: Can be played this way with the Trainer customization feature.
* IneffectualLoner: ''Pokémon Masters'' makes him one, showing a tendency to go off on his own. In keeping with the series' idealism, he's less cynical about friendship than most examples; he's just not used to working in a team, and he wants to handle things himself so others aren't burdened by them. Nonetheless, he still gets in over his head without the rest of the team backing him up. Ironically, he finds the idea of giving gifts to others while alone embarrassing.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Not overly long, but still there.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He is not as tall as some {{NPC}}s, but he is tallest of the main group, appearing taller than Tierno.
* PrimaryColorChampion: Calem's default outfit is predominantly blue and red.
* SignatureMon: Art from the games shows him with the Froakie line and Charmander line, and his clothes are thematically similar to Xerneas. Ash wearing his clothes in the anime also had Froakie. In both ''Generations'' and ''Adventures'' his equivalent keeps Charmander, but has Chespin instead of Froakie. ''Pokémon Masters'' goes with a dark-horse pick and gives him an Espurr, which Calem does use as a rival, being his lead Pokémon from Glittering Cave onward.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: By default, Calem looks and dresses similarly to Hilbert. At least he can be customized for those who wanted more variety. As the rival he acts more like Cheren instead.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Serena]]
!!Serena (セレナ ''serena'')
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/serena_xy.png]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/JackieLastra (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - EN), Creator/AkariKitou (''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'' - JP)
The female main character (and rival if you choose Calem) of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. This young lady has just recently moved to Vaniville Town in Kalos, along with her mother, Grace. Given her mother's previous occupation as a Rhyhorn racer, and her close bond with the family Rhyhorn, Professor Sycamore decides she's the perfect candidate to help with Sycamore's research into "Mega Evolution," and has Serena summoned to his laboratory in Lumiose City.
[[YoungerAndHipper A younger version]] of Serena served as one of the protagonists in the ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY'' [[Characters/PokemonTheSeriesXYCast anime]] [[note]]and, as the run concluded, went on to become one of the most notable and discussed characters in the history of the franchise, largely because of her much more prominent crush on Ash, particularly the implied kiss at the end[[/note]]. In ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' her full name is Yvonne Gabena, and is simply nicknamed as "Y".
----
* BareYourMidriff: All the Parka and Halter top options give her this.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: A few of her clothing options can give her this look, such as the shirt-and-tie combos at the Lumiose boutique.
* CallBack: Her Sync Pair variants in ''Masters'' feature her with different hairstyles on top of her outfits unlike the rest of the Sync Pairs that only get new outfits, likely as a reference to her home game being the introduction to trainer customization.
* CensorShadow: Allows Serena to effectively combine short skirts and roller-blading without any threat of exposure.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Her primary color and speech balloons (when she's the rival) are red.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: It's implied that Shauna has a crush on the main character, [[LesYay even when it's Serena]].
* FamilyThemeNaming: In the English versions, combining her name and her mother's will result in two words one letter away from an existing Pokémon Ability-Serene Grace.
* {{Fangirl}}: She states in ''Masters'' that she has been a longtime fan of Elesa, both as a model and a Trainer.
* TheFashionista: She's the [[http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-25/pxy-trainer-customization.html poster child]] of the Trainer customization feature, and there are ''far'' more clothing and hair styles available if you're playing as her [[MenswearGhetto rather than Calem]]. ''Masters'' expands on this by giving her, as a character, a love of fashion and shopping.
* GirlishPigtails: Becomes an option at the barbershop after the player becomes sufficiently stylish.
%%* HartmanHips: Shown in her picture above.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: As a Rival with Shauna.
* LittleBlackDress: One of her outfits you can get when she's the protagonist. It's even called the Little Black Dress.
* MinidressOfPower: Her default outfit is a very short skirt as well all other skirt and dress outfits, and she can be the most powerful trainer in the region.
* MsFanservice: Some of her clothing options are {{Stripperiffic}}, the other characters in the game wear more clothing than her including Malva.
* NiceGirl: Becomes a point of focus in ''Masters'''s Verdant Guardian Story Event. [[spoiler:Zygarde comes to learn from Serena's willingness to help it find its cells and uses that compassion to scatter its cells all over again in order to help an injured Hiker recover his stolen Sandshrew from Team Break. Sycamore theorizes that Zygarde learned from Serena's compassion.]]
* NoblewomansLaugh: Appears to do one in ''Masters'', specifically as part of her unique interaction with her Delphox.
* OlympusMons: ''Masters'' gives her Zygarde for her Sygna Suit variant.
* ShesGotLegs: Her long legs are especially highlighted by her ZettaiRyouiki and MinidressOfPower.
* SignatureMon: The Fennekin line in most artwork and adaptations, including the anime and ''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'', with the exception of ''Adventures'' and her appearance in the "Gotcha!" music video where she's shown with the Froakie line. Squirtle is also her Kanto starter of choice, and her clothes are thematically similar to Yveltal. Meanwhile, ''Masters'' gives her Zygarde for her Sygna Suit variant.
* StockingFiller: Her default thigh-high stockings or as they're labeled in game, "OTK (Over The Knee) Socks," and about a third of all the sock options.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Considered this with the more revealing outfits and short skirt.
* SweetBaker: She is portrayed in ''Masters'' as an altruistic, levelheaded young woman who has made desserts as a hobby.
* TomboyishPonytail: As the rival. As the player character, you can also style her hair as such at the barbershop if the player is sufficiently stylish.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Every one of her shorts options.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tierno]]
!!Tierno (ティエルノ ''tieruno'')
[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-xy_tierno_5964.png]]
An excitable boy whom you befriend at the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. Obsessed with dancing, his goal is to create a troupe of performing Pokémon dancers.
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his size, he is very light on his feet and a good dancer. He aims to create a dance team with his Pokémon.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: The description of him provided states he tends to get distracted by their opponents moves during battle because he is trying to incorporate them into his choreography.
* BigFun: He has a plump body and a huge heart.
* TheBigGuy: The largest of the friends and his signature Pokémon is the offense-oriented Corphish. Though battling isn't Tierno's main priority, dancing is a very physical activity. Also most dancing moves deal with boosting offense (Swords Dance, Dragon Dance, Rain Dance) or dealing heavy damage (Petal Dance).
* ButThouMust: Give yourself a nickname. Of course, you ''could'' just [[LoopholeAbuse make your nickname the same as your in-game name]].
* ColorCodedCharacters: Yellow.
* CoordinatedClothes: If the player character is a boy, it is possible to purchase the same shirt Tierno wears, which is appropriately titled "Twin T-Shirt."[[note]]Available at Cyllage City on weekends[[/note]]
* DanceBattler: He aims to create a team of Pokémon dancers. Case in point, the first time you battle him, his "starter" is a Corphish and it knows [[StatusBuff Swords Dance]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: His "starter" is a Corphish that becomes a Water/Dark Crawdaunt, but he is a pretty affable guy.
* FlatCharacter: He never gets a chance to share a character-building moment with the player unlike the other three rivals, nor can his house be visited for any possible backstory a la Trevor.
* GentleGiant: Rather big, but friendly.
* MeaningfulName: His name is Spanish for soft or tender (as in food), but when used to refer to a person it means inexperienced.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Helping Dexio and Sina rescue the Pokémon on Route 10.
* RealMenWearPink: He is TheBigGuy of the group, but his greatest passion is dancing and his goal is to make a team of [[DanceBattler Dance Battlers]].
* RecurringBoss: Faced a couple times during the game, the last time as part of a BossRush involving all the rivals except Calem/Serena.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Trevor's Blue Oni.
* SignatureMon: Corphish, which is the only one he uses in his first ''two'' battles with the player (out of three, though in the second he teams Corphish with two of Trevor's), and his only Pokémon in ''Adventures''.
* SphereEyes: Noticeably, making his character design a little nonstandard.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: He's Wise Guy with Trevor's Straight Man.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Trevor ''[-(Trova)-]'']]
!!Trevor / Trova (トロバ ''toroba'')
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/100px-xy_trevor_4750.png]]
A curious boy from Lumiose City whom you befriend at the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. He doesn't much care for battling, and prefers to challenge the player on who has more entries in their Pokédex.
----
* CatchPhrase: "To put another way..."
* CharacterDevelopment: Shauna describes him at the beginning as very shy, and towards the end of the game she now remarks that he seems bolder, evidenced by his challenging the player to a battle.
* ColorCodedCharacters: He's TheSmartGuy, and has a green color scheme.
* DeadpanSnarker: Much of his dialogue towards Tierno comes off as sarcasm.
* DragonTamer: At the Battle Maison, he can have the Rock/Dragon [[DinosaursAreDragons Tyrantrum]] as his partner.
* FossilRevival: Seems to be his thing, as he has Aerodactyl in his fight on Route 19, and both Kalos fossil Mons in the Battle Maison, namely Tyrantrum and Aurorus.
* GottaCatchEmAll: His goal is to be the first out of his friends to complete the Pokédex.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: If you talk to him post-game, he will mention a random Pokémon capable of Mega evolving and react with joy if you have it recorded in your Pokédex with a remark that "it's nice having the same Pokémon as them". Considering this is his reaction to any mon owned, he may have Pokémon like Garchomp and others stored up but never uses them. And that ''includes'' [[GoneHorriblyRight Mewtwo]], of all [[OlympusMons mons]]!
* MeaningfulName: More of a PunnyName than a name meaning compared to the others, but Trevor is similar to ''trouver'' which is French for "to find." It's also Irish for industrious or prudent.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Helping Dexio and Sina rescue the Pokémon on Route 10.
* ParentalAbandonment: You can find his house near Jaune Plaza in Lumiose, where his sister reveals that their parents left both of them to go on a journey.
* RecurringBoss: Faced a couple times during the game, the last time as part of a BossRush involving all the rivals except Calem/Serena.
* RedheadInGreen: He is redheaded and wears mostly green clothing.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Tierno's Red Oni.
* RefusalOfTheCall: While he's fine with filling the Pokédex, his knee-jerk reaction to having Team Flare's activities explained to him is to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere decide that it's best to stay away from them.]] It doesn't stick.
* SignatureMon: The Flabébé line, which is the only one he owns across all continuities.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: A full head shorter than any of his friends (and that's including his hair).
* TheSmartGuy: Seemingly fills this role as your friend.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: He's the Straight Man with Tierno's Wise Guy.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Shauna ''[-(Sana)-]'']]
!!Shauna / Sana (サナ ''sana'')
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/259px-xy_shauna_5244.png]]
A spunky girl whom you befriend at the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Seems to be a shade or two darker than her friends, with an Arabic name in the Japanese version. France ''does'' have a sizable Middle Eastern population.
* BabiesEverAfter: Not Shauna herself, but her starter. She'll trade you the offspring for any Pokémon in the post game, and it has a nature that amplifies its greatest stat, along with 31 [=IVs=] in that particular stat.
* BatmanGambit: During the final confrontation with Team Flare's Admins, she cowardly runs away screaming how she "hates being chased." A Team Flare Admin then suspects Shauna intentionally fled in order to split up the admins, who were outnumbering the protagonists six to three. Nonetheless, while Shauna does succeed in luring away two Admins, Serena or Calem also follows after Shauna, leaving the main character all alone to defeat the remaining four admins.
* ChekhovsSkill: Her love for solving puzzles and close friendship with Clemont and Bonnie comes in handy later down the story when you deal with Team Flare the final time, in which her skills help open the final locked door to the machine.
* TheChick: Of the team of friends in Kalos, as the most cheerful and emotional member of the team.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Pink.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: When battled on Route 19 before Couriway Town, she has a Goodra at Level 49 when it can only evolve from Sliggoo at level 50.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: One could easily mistake Shauna as someone similar to Bianca given she is less interested in Pokémon battling than the main rival, but she tags along on the final quest to take down Team Flare. In your second battle with her on Route 19, she just happens to own a [[InfinityMinusOneSword Goodra]].
* TheDitz: She's genuinely surprised about how Poké Balls worked during the Rival's catching tutorial, despite seeing them in action not 5 minutes before, and living in a universe where this should be common knowledge.
--> '''Shauna''': The Pokémon went INSIDE the Poké Ball?
--> '''Rival Character''': Shauna... What do you think your Chespin/Fennekin/Froakie is inside of right now?
* DragonTamer: From her second battle onwards, she uses the pure Dragon-type Goodra.
* ForHappiness: Shauna's reason for journeying is simply to have fun and make some memories with her friends and Pokémon.
* GenkiGirl: Her Omura art has her with an enormous grin and WordOfGod describes her "an incredibly energetic girl" who's "friendly and outgoing."
* GirlishPigtails: She has four of them.
* TheHeart: Values friendship and teamwork. She's also one of the driving forces for pushing the rival towards enjoying things aside from just getting stronger. Her starter Pokémon will also ''always'' be female. This is a first compared to the rivals having male ones.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Serena if they are the player's rival.
* HiddenDepths:
** She is much more insightful than her bubbly exterior would suggest. It also seems that she is the only one of the gang who really savors the memories they're creating on their journey. There is also the fact she is a fan of puzzles.
** As the above BatmanGambit indicates, she's also good at understanding people, and can be unexpectedly cunning in a crisis.
* TheLoad: Played with. Shauna ''thinks'' that she has become this for Calem and Serena by the time you infiltrate Team Flare's base, even though the game never makes her come off as annoying, useless, or holding anyone back at any point in the story. You reassure her that she isn't and never was.
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name is Arabic for "sunshine" or "brilliance."
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her top, bag and sandals are pink, and she's a rather feminine girl as well as TheHeart.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Calem if he's the player's rival.
* RecurringBoss: The first trainer you battle in the beginning of the game, using the starter weak to yours. Then she battles you much later in the game as the first of a BossRush involving all the rivals except Calem/Serena.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to the rival's Blue Oni, who is more reserved and mature.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Calem, she is the more irresponsible one. Even more so if Calem is the rival.
* SayItWithHearts: She says things with a musical note at the end often.
* ShipperOnDeck: Hinted as one for Calem and Serena (regardless of which one you're playing as). She'll say they're the strongest and make a good combination.
* ShipTease: With the protagonist, regardless of gender, at Parfum Palace. The game is less subtle about it with Calem, though.
-->'''Shauna''': "Um... I've never watched fireworks alone with a boy, before. I'll remember this forever."
* SignatureMon: Unlike her friends, she doesn't really have one. The only one to appear in multiple continuities is the Skitty line (game and ''Adventures''), though ''Adventures'' also heavily associates her with Furfrou since that version of her wants to be a groomer. In the games themselves, she gets the Kalos starter not chosen by Calem or Serena, making her the true "friendly rival" and third member of that starter three.
* UncattyResemblance: Shauna's design seems to be inspired by Minccino and Pachirisu, though she doesn't necessarily own either one.
* VerbalTic: Accentuates her lines with musical notes, like so ♪.
* WeNeedADistraction: Both at the Poké Ball Factory and Flare's Geosenge Headquarters, she uses herself to distract members of Team Flare to run after her.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's implied to have received one of the Kanto starters you didn't choose, but just like the primary rival she's never seen using it.
%%* WhoWearsShortShorts: She does!

If it's because of "senpai" (which is what Emma calls you in the Japanese version), it's completely wrong.
