History Characters / PokemonRedAndBlue

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the remakes. Definitely in [[{{ptitleh2xwpnnp}} Heart Gold and Soul Silver]], though.

* VitriolicBestBuds: The first thing you're told about him is that he's Oak's grandson. The second thing is that you and he have been rivals and best friends since you were in diapers. That doesn't stop Let's Plays from treating his dialogue as him being a complete jackass. (Nor does it stop players from naming him "Douche".)

* [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Who Names Their Kid Leaf]]

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the remakes, though YourMileageMayVary. Definitely in [[{{ptitleh2xwpnnp}} Heart Gold and Soul Silver]], though.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: She will [[FetishFuel imitate the male player character]], including [[ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction their clothes]] (yet for some reason, Ken Sugimori's art shows her as keeping her hair).

* McGuffinDeliveryService: in [=FireRed=] and [=LeafGreen=], an extra quest was added after the Cinnabar Gym battle that has Bill take you to the first three islands in the Sevii Archipelago to deliver a meteorite.

* AccentAdaptation: He speaks with a Kansai accent in the Japanese versions and a southern one in the English ones. ** Oddly enough, the dub of the anime uses a British accent, though that may have to do with how [[CharacterDerailment fancily he dressed and lived there, even though in the games he flat-out states he "can't stand fancy do's."]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: His downfall is that he thinks so much about himself that he forgets to treat his pokemon with love and respect. For the entire game he views pokemon as nothing more than cool powerful creatures that can do whatever he wants for him and help him become Champion.

* HiddenDepths: It wasn't until the remakes, but examine the right bookshelf and you'll discover that Daisy's a former Contest champion. No wonder she's so good at grooming Pokemon.

* ImprobablePowerDiscrepancy: One Gym Leader with Pokemon at level 12 and 14.

* ImprobablePowerDiscrepancy: Her training place is Seafoam Islands. The Pokemon in Seafoam Islands are higher-leveled than hers.

* AccentAdaptation: He speaks with a Kansai accent in the Japanese versions and a southern one in the English ones.

** Oddly enough, the dub of the anime uses a British accent, though that may have to do with how [[CharacterDerailment fancily he dressed and lived there, even though in the games he flat-out states he "can't stand fancy do's."]]

* BalefulPolymorph: When you first meet him, he has been turned into a Pokémon (Clefairy in the remakes) due to a TeleporterAccident. [[IGotBetter He gets better]].

** Oddly enough, the dub of the anime uses a British accent, though that may have to do with how [[CharacterDerailment fancily he dressed and lived there, even though in the games he flat-out states he "can't stand fancy do's."

For the Pokémon introduced in these games, refer to [[{{Characters/Ptitleysn5vf4o}} this page]].

* CharacterDevelopment: More so noticeable in FRLG. In the credits, he seems to be thinking about himself and his Pokémon after accidentally being told off by his grandfather and being beaten by you. In HGSS he is fairly less of a Jerkass.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[AllThereInTheManual The guidebook for Red and Blue]] explains that he was Red's best friend until shortly before the time of the game, where he started to become a bully.

* VitriolicBestBuds: The first thing you're told about him is that he's Oak's grandson. The second thing is that you and he have been best friends since you were in diapers. That doesn't stop Let's Plays from treating his dialogue as him being a complete jackass. (Nor does it stop players from naming him "Douche".)

* HeIsAllGrownUp: His [=HeartGold=]/[=SoulSilver=] [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/84/HeartGold_SoulSilver_Blue.png artwork.]]

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Due to the unchanged dialogue, this happens with Leaf. In the fandom it's apparent too.

** Red's FRLG incarnation is often called "Fire" in the English-speaking fandom to separate his new design from his old. He's almost universally referred to as "Fire" or "[=FireRed=]" by Japanese-speaking fans.

* HotBlooded: Red, according to his counterparts, at least one ingame line, (possibly, due to it's vagueness) the manual, and an [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b1/Kensugiart.png old]] [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/c8/Kensugiart2.png comic]] [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/70/Kensugiart3.png drawn]] [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/f3/Kensugiart4.png by]] Sugimori.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Red/Leaf, unlike future heroes, actually makes the odd internal comment when examining objects (where future Player Characters merely get descriptions) such as mentioning his/her dad when you check out the televisions in the Celadon Dept Store, and remarks that s/he "should get going" when you examine the TV in his/her house and notes that they "better not touch it" when examining various pieces of technology. He/She also talks to Copycat... [[MindScrew maybe.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Game Freak wanted to program the option to play as a female back in Red and Green, but wouldn't be able to until Crystal. Leaf had a different design with a LittleBlackDress, WhiteGloves, and - unlike every protagonist in the main series - no NiceHat.

* [[spoiler:BreakTheHaughty: When you beat him and end his short reign as Champion. Professor Oak telling him that in his current state he stands no chance of becoming the Champion again adds salt to the wound.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: More so noticeable in FRLG. In the credits he seems to be thinking about himself and his Pokémon after accidentally being told off by his grandfather and being beaten by you. In HGSS he is fairly less of a Jerkass.
* ContinuityNod: In the original games, his sprite as the Champion had him wearing a jacket which isn't seen again in the second generation or the first generation remakes, but returns in his design for the second generation remakes.

* FoeYay: Some of his actions toward Red/Leaf can be seen as this, but in HGSS, he will ''call the player'' at oftentimes ungodly hours to tell them about Red and awkwardly stutter about how they look like Red. [[spoiler: "Just... Just a little! Whatever... Click!"]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: The first thing you're told about him is that he's Oak's grandson. The second thing is that you and he have been best friends since you were in diapers. That doesn't stop Let's Plays from treating his dialogue as him being a complete jackass.

* RetiredBadass: According to Agatha. While functional trainer data for him exists in ''Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Yellow'' (as well as data for a trainer class (but no team data) for him in ''[=FireRed=]'' and ''[=LeafGreen=]''), it's impossible to fight him without utilization of cheating devices or glitches. Interestingly enough, his team is tied with Mewtwo in terms of level and, unlike every opponent save for Blue, has a decent array of types.

* {{Lolicon}}: Refers to Leaf as "beautiful" in the remakes. It's the ''one'' line changed for a female player character (he refers to Red as "chief"), in contrast to the large number of flirting from the ([[ToyShip Roughly same aged]]) female characters in the game.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: However as of HGSS she has brown hair.

* PunnyName

* EarlyBirdBoss: In [=Red/Green/Blue=], only Pikachu, Butterfree, Beedrill (the latter two requiring LevelGrinding) and ComMons are found before Brock. Tough luck if your starter is Charmander. Fixed in every game after. Yellow adds Mankey and the Nidoran lines before him (now with an early Double Kick!) while [=FireRed/LeafGreen=] add Mankey and give Charmander Metal Claw.

* ImprobablePowerDiscrepancy: One Gym Leader with pokemon in level 12 and 14

* ImprobablePowerDiscrepancy: Her training place is Seafoam Islands. More pokemon in Seafoam Islands are more leveled than her.

* PsychicPowers: Not only do her Pokémon have these, but she posesses them as well.

* ReluctantWarrior: She constantly goes on about how she doesn't like to fight but she will if she must. It makes you curious why she's a gym leader then; Most likely so she can train people to be psychic and being a gym leader is the easiest, or only, way.

* PoisonousPerson: Her official main type is Ghost, but due to the rarity of that type a Golbat and Arbok were added.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: In ''Red and Blue'' his Dragonite has Barrier - which has never been available to that family of Pokémon. Even worse in the sequel.

** Red's FRLG incarnation is often called "Fire" in the English-speaking fandom to separate his new design from his old. He's [[{{Fanon}} almost universally]] referred to as "Fire" or "[=FireRed=]" by Japanese-speaking fans.
* GannonBanned: It's "Leaf", not [[PokemonSpecial Blue or Green]]. It's "Red" not "Ash Ketchum" or "Satoshi".
** Confusing the [[{{Ptitled53fvupl}} Pokémon Special]] Red with the in-game Red is not easily forgiven in the fandom.
*** Even more so is confusing [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash]] for Red.

* MemeticBadass: Both characters, actually. More so Red then Leaf, due to him being more well-known. Leaf gets her fair share though, when she's not on Red's level she's usually shown as [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter being the best of the trio]] in both a playful manner and a battling manner.
* MemeticOutfit: Red's original outfit. Just try looking for fanart of Red in his new look outside of FRLG artwork, especially HGSS artwork (which is odd when everyone else has their HGSS outfits). That includes his hair. Not even in HGSS artwork do you see him in his new one, despite the fact he is explicitly shown in both his new hair style (overworld sprite) and his new outfit (battle sprite).

** LauncherOfAThousandShips: Despite being a silent protagonist with literally ''no'' dialog in GSCHGSS, Red is insanely popular among shippers.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: [=YMMV=], but both look older then they are in the remakes.

* GannonBanned: Blue. Not ''Gary'', or Shigeru, or Green. Though, like basically every other nameable character that has a counterpart in the anime, both names come from their "top" game name.
** Technically it ''is'' Green, just not in the west.
** Likewise, you should not confuse Gary or the PokemonSpecial Blue for this character, or vice-versa.

* MemeticBadass

* AccidentalInnuendo: [[MemeticMutation He came when he heard]] [[spoiler:Blue]] [[MemeticMutation beat the Pokémon League.]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Became an AscendedExtra in the anime.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Was made into a major character in the anime ''and'' PokemonSpecial.

* BreatherBoss: Giovanni is rather easy for being the final Gym Leader, since most of his Pokémon are rather slow and all of them have common weaknesses.

* MostCommonSuperpower: Leaf. Not as noticeable as [[PokemonRubyAndSapphire May]] but still there, especially when you see her original design or her [[PokemonSpecial Special counterpart]].

* BigBreastsBigDeal: Leaf. Not as noticeable as [[PokemonRubyAndSapphire May]] but still there, especially when you see her original design or her [[PokemonSpecial Special counterpart]].
