History Characters / PokemonSuperMysteryDungeon

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:After being petrified by Nuzleaf and Yveltal, them and their partner travels over the voidlands, the game equivalant of Hell, to return back to life.]]

* ButNowIMustGo: Lampshaded by the player, as they realize that with [[spoiler:Dark Matter]] defeated, it must mean they have to go back home to the human world. [[spoiler:In one of the most heartbreaking moments in the whole Mystery Dungeon sub-franchise of games (which is saying a lot), this is cruelly subverted, in that it's your partner that must leave instead.]]

* FirstPersonSmartass: Easily the snarkiest of the PMD protagonists so far, even if they don't always speak their mind. Seriously. They can rival [[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] in terms of internal snark at points.

* FountainOfYouth: Heavily implied their transformation into a Pokémon also aged them down quite a bit, as they act far more mature than a kid would, and even [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] when people start referring to them as such.

* OpenMouthInsertFoot: At several points, the player says things that lead to disbelief and misunderstandings. Most notably, when your partner asks if you find them annoying, regardless of your answer you'll phrase it in a way that hurts their feelings and makes them avoid you for several days.
* OurHeroIsDead: The player is [[spoiler:turned to stone after Nuzleaf decides they have [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived their usefulness]]. Since Pokémon are turned to stone by having their life energy sent to the Voidlands, it's similar enough to this trope.]] They get better, though.
* OutOfFocus: Compared to the Partner, who the story is more centered around. The player doesn't have any special abilities or mysteries to their character aside from their amnesia, and [[spoiler:while their backstory as Mew's human partner from the past is touched upon during an endgame {{Infodump}}, it's never expanded upon beyond that, not even during the post-credits content.]]

* WrongGenreSavvy: [[spoiler:After Dark Matter is defeated, The Player assumes that with the job done, it's The Player's time to depart from the Pokemon world. This suposition goes as per the norm in the previous games from the series, but it is actually The Partner who has to leave]].

* {{Adorkable}}: Notably, they'll be this way regardless of whether you ask for them to be "cute" or "cool", as this question only determines the partner that is pre selected for you and not their personality, which is always this trope.

** When facing down [[spoiler:Giratina, it tells them that they can go if they just leave the school bullies, Pancham and Shelmet. Partner refuses, and exclaims that bully or not, they're still friends.]]
** After defeating the emissary, [[spoiler:and finding out that Giratina was just an illusion created by a bunch of homeless Litwick who need to scare people to feed, Partner is willing to let Litwick stay in Serene Village, on the condition that they do nice things for the villagers as well.]]
** When [[spoiler:seeing Latias get turned to stone on the Air Continent, Partner is instantly willing to rush over to help, and their kind nature paired with Archen's vouching is ultimately what convinces Entei that you're not the culprit.]]

* AmbiguousGender: Contrary to popular belief, the cool, and cute, options do not determine the partners gender, just which Pokémon the partner is more likely to be selected as by the quiz. Their gender is never actually specified. (This does not apply if you choose Pikachu as your partner, in which case it does determine it.)

** And before that, [[spoiler:they escaped the Voidlands, the equivalant of hell, after being turned to stone by Nuzleaf and Yveltal alongside the player.]]

* BigEater: Although not quite to the level of Swirlix, they're still a shown to be a pretty heavy eater, and are often quite excited for food.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kicks Beheeyem's ass after [[spoiler:escaping from the Void Lands.]]

* DudeWhereIsMyRespect: The partner takes it more personally than the main protagonist.

* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: Implied, when your partner rescues you and Espurr from [[spoiler:one of the Beheeyem in the Expedition Society]] the camera [[BattleDiscretionShot cuts away]] while they furiously ask them how [[spoiler:the Beheeyem could [[YouKilledMyFather attack Carracosta]] and the rest of Serene Village]]. Espurr then pulls them away and points out that [[spoiler:the Beheeyem]] isn't even fighting back anymore.

* PurelyAestheticGender: When the personality quiz asks you if your partner is "cute" or "cool," you're actually deciding their gender (specifically, if you pick "cool", your partner is male, whereas if you pick "cute", your partner is female). But unless your partner is a Pikachu, you aren't likely to notice as none of the other Pokemon have gender differences, and normally gender specific moves like Attract work on all Pokémon in the Mystery Dungeon games.

* WalkingSpoiler: They were [[spoiler:a form of Mew; a previous legendary war hero against Dark Matter.]]

* AmnesiacHero: This [[spoiler:reincarnation of Mew doesn't remember the past lives he had as the Hero against the Dark Matter or as your Partner.]]

--->'''Player''': ([[spoiler:Mew]] gets sleepy so easily...I suppose kids are like that, huh? [[spoiler:Mew]] is pretty adorable, I guess...)

* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Despite [[spoiler:being the hero of legend]], they have a laid back attitude and a cutesy appearance takes the Player character off-guard.

** Subverted later it seems, as in the epilogue, [[spoiler:none of the other expedition society members seem to recognize him, nor are they particularly thrilled to have him on-board]].

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In spite of Mew being a Mythical Pokemon [[spoiler:and a LivingLegend]], none of the [=NPCs=] treat him as anything special. {{Justified|Trope}} in that most of them don't even realize Mew is a Mythical Pokemon, and those that do were already familiar with one, so they don't find it to be a big deal.

A Pokemon who had only recently moved to Serene Village, and isn't entirely familiar with their ways. He adopts the player after finding them in the forest.

* DarkIsEvil: A Dark-type Pokemon [[spoiler:that happens to be one of the antagonists. Ultimately {{subverted|trope}} as it turned out he was BrainwashedAndCrazy. He ultimately tries to earn forgiveness in the epilogue]].
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Being the one pulling the strings to make sure everything goes smoothly, Nuzleaf is either this to Yveltal or is one of Dark Matter's CoDragons with the former. The chain of command is unclear due to how little they interact with each other onscreen]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When he joins the player in Open Pass, as well as the player and partner when attempting to climb Revelation Mountain, there is oddly out of place move in his arsenal: [[spoiler:[[ThePowerOfHate Frustration]]]].
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler:His first act of evil onscreen is to petrify Krookodile, who seemed to be the antagonist until then]].

* TheHeavy: [[spoiler:Even though Yveltal's presence is revealed shortly after Nuzleaf betrays The Player, and Dark Matter's position of being the actual BigBad, Nuzleaf is the main antagonist for most of the second half of the story]].

* MightyGlacier: Nuzleaf has a very strange high amount of HP for being lower than level 30, while way too many allies won't even get to triple digits until ''level 70'' or so.

* OutGambitted: [[spoiler:By Ampharos. Nuzleaf never saw his plan coming, and they were derailed quickly as a result.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as the father figure to the player. [[spoiler:Turns out to be a ruse to trick the Player Character to do what he wants.]]

** Now imagine, that they've succeeded in their dreams and they're done risking their life and they've finally come home... [[spoiler:only for them to literally disappear into thin air with nary a goodbye.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Carracosta is grumpy, short-tempered and strict, but he does care for the Partner.

* PandaingToTheAudience: He's a panda-based Pokemon, and fully embraces this when he redeems himself.

* JerkAss: He has coaxed Goomy, and the Player Character (also the Partner, though they really just invited themselves) into going into a dangerous dungeon, and call them cowards if they don't. When the Player attempts to tell them that they are a human from the human world, he outright calls them a liar, and when he sees that the Partner is afraid of ghosts, he calls them a scaredy cat. Fittingly, since Pancham's Pokédex entry in the main series describes it as "The Naughty Pokemon".

Pancham's lackey. He has a tendency to hit on the female Pokemon, including the nurse.

* ActionGirl: To the point where even Pancham admits up front that she "has real talent." Even more than Deerling, she's not afraid of danger, and she's the highest level fighter among all the kids.
* BadassAdorable: Pulls this off with her [[CuteKitten charm]] and [[ActionGirl exceptional competency]]. [[spoiler:In fact, she's so badass that she actually ends up being one of your final party members, standing among powerful elite Pokemon such as Ampharos and Celebi.]]

--> Espurr: Getting yelled at a bit might be a good thing. I don't have any parents around to do that much.

* LongRangeFighter: Prefers to support her team by sniping enemy Pokemon from a long distance with Psybeam. Can also use Disarming Voice to damage foes around corners.

* {{Telepathy}}: Uses this ability to contact others. She doesn't appear to have any range limitations either.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Her own movements during the climax of the game can easily translate to big problems for the BigBad.]]

* ActionGirl: She's always the first to suggest running headlong into danger to save her friends. Whether it's Goomy or Pancham.
* BullyHunter: After a fashion. Though she never actually attacks Pancham or Shelmet, she is the only one who consistently stands up to them.

* NiceGirl: She may be hotheaded, but is one of the sweetest of the school kids.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her character model is always the all-pink Spring Form variation even after summer vacation starts.

One of the younger students at the Serene Village Pokemon School. He gets picked on a lot, but is eager to prove himself to the others.

* MamasBoy: Or, girl in this case. Offers her entire allowance to a field of dangerous (and suspicious) Beedrill and Combee, because her mother's been feeling tired lately, and she hopes the nutritious honey will help her feel better. ''Awww!''

-->'''Watchog''':"I knew you could do it. I knew all along...that it was all because you had a great teacher like me to guide you!"

* CoolTeacher: He seems fairly well liked by the students, and cracks jokes.

Both the school nurse, and resident health professional in Serene Village.

* TheChessmaster: Even moreso than [[spoiler:Nuzleaf. If Dark Matter could be stopped in time, it's mostly because Ampharos thought quickly and set up a [[TheMole mole]] ''and'' a trap to reach the Tree of Life as soon as possible. He pulls this again in the epilogue -- after finding out Mew was ill, he quickly set up a fake kidnapping with Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem so that they would pretend they wanted to kill Mew because Dark Matter was within it. This was done so that The Player's genuine desperate wish to save Mew could bring The Partner back]].

* {{Irony}}: The Lighthouse Pokemon known for preventing people from getting lost in the home series cannot navigate to save his life.

* BadassBookworm: Intervenes [[spoiler:to intercept a fire attack aimed at Ampharos by ''Entei'' and dispels it effortlessly. Keep in mind she is weak to fire]].

* NotSoAboveItAll: The second most sane of the Society, but can be this sometimes.

* CrutchCharacter: Can be this if your team isn't particularly fantastic at fighting a multitude Fire- and Ground-types [[spoiler:in Fire Island Volcano]]. The crutch gets kicked soon enough [[spoiler:after Entei severely injures Buizel, disabling him from fighting in the incoming boss fight]].

** Later, when you tell him that you're actually a human, he believes you right away (to the surprise of you and your partner). While it may seem odd at first, this is actually a bit of FridgeBrilliance; it makes sense that he wouldn't be surprised as this is the ''same'' Jirachi from the previous games, so he would have been acquainted with the previous human protagonists.

* InsufferableGenius: Jirachi enjoys flaunting his intelligence; one such example is his blackboard of calculations, which also says, "I'm a genius" at the corner. He is also proud for creating the Nexus and Exploration Gadgets.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Nobody seems to mind Jirachi's status as a Mythical Pokemon. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] when Dedenne finds out [[spoiler:Mew]] is a new member in the Expedition Society. She's delighted about the opportunity to work with a Mythical Pokemon given how rare they are, while Jirachi has to remind her she was already working with one.

* TheDitz: Her second most obvious trait.

* GlassCannon: He can deal as much damage, if not more (thanks to Acrobatics), than the likes of Ampharos and Mawile even though he's at least 10 levels lower than both in the story missions. The lower level means he cannot take nearly as much damage, however, and if Defeatist takes effect, he becomes a JokeCharacter.

* SourSupporter: He complains mightily when you first get to the Air Continent, and laments most his lost work when the Nexus gets destroyed ([[OhNoNotAgain apparently, it's not the first time, either]]), but when an actual crisis comes, [[spoiler:say, when Latios and Latias are turned to stone and crash land in the forest]], he's one of the first on the scene.

* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Nuzleaf, who they take orders from]].

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:They petrify Mawile, Dedenne, Buizel and Bunnelby as they march to the Submerged Cave]].

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Manages to fire one final Oblivion Wing against Dark Matter in a last resort attack.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Like [[spoiler:Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem]], he has been under a form of mind control of the Dark Matter.
* TheBrute: [[spoiler:Where Nuzleaf is the brains, manipulating everyone, Yveltal is the brawns, saving the former when he was surrounded by The Player, The Partner, Archen, Suicune and Entei by petrifying them all at the same time, then begins a planet-wide petrification of life. In the boss fight against him, Nuzleaf and the Beheyeem near the Tree of Life, Yveltal is the strongest by far]].
* DarkIsEvil: A Dark-type Pokemon that happens to be one of the antagonists. [[spoiler:Ultimately {{subverted|trope}} as it turned out he was BrainwashedAndCrazy. He becomes TheAtoner in the post-game]].

* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Dark Matter as its most powerful minion. Possibly CoDragons with Nuzleaf]].
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He petrifies The Player, The Partner, Archen, Suicune and Entei at Revelation Mountain]].

[[folder:The Mastermind Dark Matter]]

* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: As long as there are negative emotions, [[spoiler:the Dark Matter cannot truly be destroyed, unless [[DefiedTrope it is accepted as a part of everyone]].]]

** [[spoiler:Also, Dark Matter's final form's appearance resembles the first form of Yami from ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'']].

* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:While Yveltal is initially considered to be the BigBad and Nuzleaf TheHeavy, both are under Dark Matter's control and work for it]]

* OutsideContextProblem: Not only Dark Matter is not even close to being a Pokémon, but to put it in simple terms, its existence is completely unknown until the last third of the main story. Up to that point, the player character and their partner know that [[spoiler:Nuzleaf can petrify Pokemon and is in cahoots with Yveltal that can do the same on a larger scale, but it takes a trip to the voidlands to even consider the possibility of there being something controlling them]].

* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: All of its attacks are typeless, and they have vague descriptions that do not tend to be related to the effect they cause. Dark Matter itself starts of typeless and then changes types every time its core is cracked (to a type that resists the move that cracked the core), but this is not stated by the game.

* HeelFaceTurn: In the epilogue, he and Krokorok decide to turn over a new leaf and look for jobs. They eventually get jobs working for Miltank as milk delivery men.

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: For a Pokemon with a reputation of being one of the biggest crooks in Lively Town, he is never shown robbing anything, or for that matter even ''trying'' to do so. Only his lackey Krokorok tried take The Partner's money when they first encountered each other. Krookodile's only evil act had nothing to do with the criminal activity he was known for.

* OlympusMons: A trio consisting of powerful legendary Pokemon.

* PursuedProtagonist: They are introduced in the second act being chased by the force behind turning Pokemon into stone while searching for Celebi.

* TheWorfEffect: Their SuperSpeed was not much of help against the culprit, which shows how much danger they possess.

* CombatMedic: Uses Safeguard and Heal Bell to snap his teammates out of status conditions, while using Energy Ball and Confusion to hurt enemy Pokemon.

* RedOniBlueOni: Seems to have established a temporary dynamic with his fellow Mythical Pokemon Jirachi, being the calm, reasonable presence in comparison to Jirachi's [[CloudCuckooLander more]] [[LargeHam hammy]] [[InsufferableGenius personality]].

* AmbigousGender: Contrary to popular belief, the cool, and cute, options do not determine the partners gender, just which Pokémon the partner is more likely to be selected as by the quiz. Their gender is never actually specified. (This does not apply if you choose Pikachu as your partner, in which case it does determine it.)

* Ambigous Gender: Contrary to popular belief, the cool, and cute, options do not determine the partners gender, just which Pokémon the partner is more likely to be selected as by the quiz. Their gender is never actually specified. (This does not apply if you choose Pikachu as your partner, in which case it does determine it.)

* PurelyAestheticGender: When the personality quiz asks you if your partner is "cute" or "cool," you're actually deciding their gender (specifically, if you pick "cool", your partner is male, whereas if you pick "cute", your partner is female). But unless your partner is a Pikachu, you aren't likely to notice as none of the other Pokemon have gender differences, and normally gender specific moves like Attract work on all Pokémon in the Mystery Dungeon games. (This I ly applies if you pick Pikachu as your partner.)

* PurelyAestheticGender: When the personality quiz asks you if your partner is "cute" or "cool," you're actually deciding their gender (specifically, if you pick "cool", your partner is male, whereas if you pick "cute", your partner is female). But unless your partner is a Pikachu, you aren't likely to notice as none of the other Pokemon have gender differences, and normally gender specific moves like Attract work on all Pokémon in the Mystery Dungeon games.

* Ambigous Gender: Contrary to popular belief, the cool, and cute, options do not determine the partners gender, just which Pokémon the partner is more likely to be selected as by the quiz. Their gender is never actually specified.

* Ambigous Gender: Contrary to popular belief, the cool, and cute, options do not determine the partners gender, just which Pokémon the partner is more likely to be selected as by the quiz. There gender is never actually specified.

* AmbiguousGender: Unlike your partner, who is male if you choose "cool" and female if you choose "cute", your player character's gender is not specified, since your player character is meant to represent you, the player.

* {{Adorkable}}: Notably, they'll be this way regardless of whether you ask for them to be "cute" or "cool", as this question only determines your partner's gender (your partner is female if you pick "cute", and male if you pick "cool") and not their personality, which is always this trope.

* GenderBender: If they're female, [[spoiler:when they turn back into Mew, they are always referred to as male]].

* KidHero: Sort of... Their Pokémon body is apparently grade-school-aged, but their thought processes strongly suggest that their mind is actually a lot older than that.

* KidHero: Subverted. Their Pokémon form is apparently school-aged, but their thought processes indicate they're likely a lot older than that.

* MythologyGag: Mew is first found in the Southern Jungle, the place where, in the ''[[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Explorers]]'' games, Mew guarded one of the Seven Treasures.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Once you start to think about things, [[spoiler:Dark Matter could actually be a WellIntentionedExtremist. This of course sounds completely insane at first, as it is an OmnicidalManiac, literally [[MadeOfEvil made from all the negative emotions of every living entity in the world]], which plans to [[HurlItIntoTheSun throw the Tree of Life into the sun, followed by the planet]]. Then there is the fact that it [[TakenForGranite turns Pokémon to stone]], resulting in their mind/soul being trapped in the Voidlands, effectively killing them. Except those Pikémon can also go [[UpToEleven even deeper]], which we can only speculate as to what even happens to them at that point. At first glance, this definitely means that Dark Matter is [[ShapedLikeItself evil]], but then you consider why it would say [[FreezeFrameBonus "thank you"]] when it is accepted by the partner, which is followed by [[KilledOffForReal it being destroyed for good]], and you suddenly make the [[StealthPun connections]]. Dark Matter most definitely seems to be [[TheHeartless evil beyond all reasoning]], but that is only partially true. In a way, Dark Matter is trying to ''save'' the world, and everyone on it, from negativity, by [[HurlItIntoTheSun throwing the world and itself into the sun]]. Dark Matter seems to have passed judgement on the world, and [[DespairEventHorizon having only experienced negative emotions]], it has decided that it would be [[DrivenToSuicide preferable to stop existing than to experience and suffer from negativity]], not only for its own existence, but for [[MercyKill every living thing on the planet]]. It is only by the partner [[WorthLivingFor accepting negativity as part of who they are, and that there are plenty of good things in the world to experience]], that Dark Matter sees that it had made the wrong decision, and thanks the partner for [[TalkingDownTheSuicidal showing them another perspective]], and then proceeds to revive all the Pokémon and the Tree of Life, followed by it voluntarily destroying itself, deciding that it is for the best.]]

* AgentPeacock: He does everything in style and is rather flamboyant. But when it gets down to it, he is a good leader.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After being released from Dark Matter's influence.]]

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: After being petrified by Nuzleaf and Yveltal, them and their partner travels over the voidlands, the game equivalant of Hell, to return back to life.]]

** And before that, [[spoiler: they escaped the Voidlands, the equivalant of hell, after being turned to stone by Nuzleaf and Yveltal alongside the player.]]

* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: Implied, when your partner rescues you and Espurr from [[spoiler: one of the Beheeyem in the Expedition Society]] the camera [[BattleDiscretionShot cuts away]] while they furiously ask them how [[spoiler:the Beheeyem could [[YouKilledMyFather attack Carracosta]] and the rest of Serene Village]]. Espurr then pulls them away and points out that [[spoiler:the Beheeyem]] isn't even fighting back anymore.

* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: Replaces the partner for a short amount of time during the epilogue.]]

[[/folder]]

* TooDumbToLive:
** When trying to sneak past the Drilbur, the Partner outright tells them that they're attempting to go past them.
** When inside Gabite's lair, they mistake Gabite's growling for Player's stomach, and when Gabite starts talking, ''Partner thinks that the Player's stomach is actually talking.''

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Has a fear of ghosts which made which made to trip to the Ancient Barrow that much harder on them.

A human who has been transformed into a Pokemon, and struck with amnesia.

* AllLovingHero: The player can connect and make friends with ''every single species of Pokemon'' up to this point in the series. [[spoiler: Even Pokemon who were their enemies in the main story can be connected with.]] Several NPC Pokemon even comment on how kind and approachable the player character is.

* AmnesiacHero: They're [[spoiler: Mew's human partner, who helped defeat Dark Matter originally]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: Well, more Big Sibling Instinct, but they're very quick to jump at the chance to save any child. When Goomy was trapped in a forest, they decided to go save him when no one else would. When they hear of a little girl going into a dangerous dungeon full of aggressive insects, they instantly cut school to go save her. [[spoiler: When Mew, someone considered a child, was missing after they regained conscious, they stopped at nothing to look for him.]]

* ButNowIMustGo: Lampshaded by the player, as they realize that with [[spoiler: Dark Matter]] defeated, it must mean they have to go back home to the human world. [[spoiler: In one of the most heartbreaking moments in the whole Mystery Dungeon sub franchise of games (which is saying a lot), this is cruelly subverted, in that it's your partner that must leave instead]].

* FirstPersonSmartass: Easily the snarkiest of the PMD protagonist so far, even if they don't always speak their mind. Seriously. They can rival [[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] in terms of internal snark at points.
* {{Foil}}: To your Partner. Both are school-aged, amnesiac kids adopted by local adults at Serene Village, but your Partner is loud, mischievous and outgoing compared to your more responsible, quiet, introspective attitude.
* FountainOfYouth: Heavily implied their transformation into a Pokemon also aged them down quite a bit, as they act far more mature than a kid would, and even [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] when people start referring to them as such.
* KidHero: Subverted. Their Pokemon form is apparently school aged, but their thought processes indicate they're likely a lot older than that.
* KleptomaniacHero: They can find shining spots outside of dungeons that give them a free item, even if it's inside another Pokemon's house. Naturally, they have no problem swiping them regardless.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: As per usual for the series. [[spoiler:This time, it's to avoid whatever mistakes the player and Mew did in the past against Dark Matter]].
* NiceGuy: Similarly to the Partner, they are usually sweet Pokemon.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Possibly. Especially given your surprise that you "look like a kid" to the other Pokemon.

* OurHeroIsDead: The player is [[spoiler: turned to stone after Nuzleaf decides they have [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness out lived their usefulness]]. Since Pokemon are turned to stone by having their life energy sent to the Voidlands, it's similar enough to this trope.]] They get better, though.
* OutOfFocus: Compared to the Partner, who the story is more centered around. The player doesn't have any special abilities or mysteries to their character aside from their amnesia, and [[spoiler: while their backstory as Mew's human partner from the past is touched upon during an endgame {{Infodump}}, it's never expanded upon beyond that, not even during the post-credits content.]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: They were actually the legendary partner of Mew in the past, and they were sent forward into the future to safeguard it from an ancient threat.]]

* TheVoiceless: Kind of. While the player character clearly speaks to the other characters on a few occasions, you're never actually shown what they are saying. Instead, you can only see their thoughts. There are several points where you might easily confuse said thoughts with actual dialogue, given how other characters react. Subverted at one point of the post game, where the player speaks actual dialogue.

* AllLovingHero: One of their defining traits, this shows up at several key points in the game, and in fact, is what ultimately motivates many character to change. (spoilers ahead)
** When facing down [[spoiler: Giratina, it tells them that they can go if they just leave the school bullies, Pancham and Shellmet. Partner refuses, and exclaims that bully or not, they're still friends.]]
** After defeating the emissary, [[spoiler: and finding out that Giratina was just an illusion created by a bunch of homeless Litwick who need to scare people to feed, Partner is willing to let Litwick stay in Serene Village, on the condition that they do nice things for the villagers as well.]]
** When [[spoiler: seeing Latias get turned to stone on the Air Continent, Partner is instantly willing to rush over to help, and their kind nature paired with Archen's vouching is ultimately what convinces Entei that you're not the culprit. ]]
** In the finale, you're facing down [[spoiler: [[EldritchAbomination Dark]] [[OutsideContextProblem Matter]]]], a NighInvulnerable villain [[spoiler: who is born from discontent and therefore supposedly unkillable. Partner, however, [[ThePowerOfLove defeats him by accepting him]], and accepting that discontent will always be a part of life; [[EvilCannotComprehendGood a concept so foreign that Dark Matter can't do anything in response.]]]]
* AmnesiacHero: [[spoiler: They are an aspect of Mew, who doesn't remember their previous life until the epilogue of the game.]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: At the epilogue, the player character's deepest wish of being reunited with their partner, paired with their determination to protect Mew at Purity Cave managed to bring back their friend from non-existence.]]

* CheerfulChild: To the point that the other kids find them annoying. Later in the story, partner's optimism is critical as a HopeSpot for the player character.

* CharacterDevelopment: Starts off as immature and rambunctious but they mature throughout the game.

-->'''Partner''': Hey... (I guess I know what would happen if I said what I wanted to say. They'd just growl at us angrily again, so I won't say it)

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: First time you meet them they basically are very excited to meet you, push you into town before you get a chance to speak, then all the adults yell at them because the kid did something irresponsible and run after them.
* GenderBender: If they're female, [[spoiler: when they turn back into Mew, they are always referred to as male]].

* KidHero: A school age Pokemon destined to save the world.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Or Dream-Boy, as the case may be. Regardless, they fit the mold: constantly running off on mischievous adventures and dragging the you into trouble with them.

* PurelyAestheticGender: When the personality quiz asks you if your partner is "cute" or "cool," you're actually deciding their gender (specifically, if you pick "cool", your partner is male, whereas if you pick "cute", your partner is female). But unless your partner is a Pikachu, you aren't likely to notice as none of the other Pokemon have gender differences, and normally gender specific moves like Attract work on all Pokemon in the Mystery Dungeon games.
* RageBreakingPoint: After [[spoiler: getting back out of the Void Lands and finding everyone, including their adoptive father, turned to stone, they do their best to hold it all in because of the sheer desperate situation their in, and manage to hold up all the way until they make it back to Lively Town and find everyone there turned to stone too. At this point, the partner has to take a moment by themselves and heads off to another part of the expedition building. The Player and Espurr are then attacked by a Beheeyem, and when the partner comes back to see this, they finally can't take it anymore and nearly ''beat the Beheeyem into unconsciousness'' before the Player and Espurr are able to calm them down again.]]

** When trying to sneak past the Drilbur, the Partner outright tells them that they're attemptng to go past them.

* AdultFear: [[spoiler: Imagine the kid who practically looks at you like an older sibling getting very sick. And shortly after they get better, you take them out for a walk, and they get kidnapped before you could even blink, and knocked out before you could save them. Mew is actually a pretty strong fighter on his own but the Player was still worried sick about him.]]
* AmnesiacHero: This [[spoiler: reincarnation of Mew, doesn't remember the past lives he had as the Hero against the Dark Matter or as your Partner.]]
* BadassAdorable: And how. [[spoiler: Mew pretty much had the battle against Beheeyem and Nuzleaf in the bag before you had the chance to rescue him.]]

--->'''Player''': ([[spoiler:Mew]] gets sleepy so easily...I suppose kids are like that, huh? [[spoiler:Mew]] is pretty adorable I guess...)

* CheerfulChild: [[spoiler: Is called a child multiple times and is rather happy-go-lucky just like the Partner.]]

* LivingLegend: [[spoiler: Mew and a human (you) led a rebellion that narrowly defeated Dark Matter in the past, though they couldn't get rid of him for good.]]
** Subverted later it seems, as in the epilogue, [[spoiler: none of the other expedition society members seem to recognize him, nor are they particularly thrilled to have him on-board.]]
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Mew was casually beating up Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem before they had any chance to tell him the kidnapping was faked. Once they do that, Mew stops and starts playing along]].

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: After you find him at the end of Mystery Forrest, he just decides to stick around, even though the PC is clearly distressed at this development.

--->'''Archen:''' "So basically what your saying is...[[spoiler: Mew]] followed you home, and now we have a new member?"

* YouRemindMeOfX: [[spoiler: A ''lot'' of NPC's comment that Mew reminds them of your Partner. This is especially heartbreaking if you go back to Serene Village and talk to Carracosta.]]

A Pokemon who had only recently moved to Serene Village, and isn't entirely familiar with their ways. He adopts the player after finding them in the forrest.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Nuzleaf remembers all the misdeeds he caused while being possessed, and so he works hard in the post-game story to give the player another chance to reunite with their departed partner]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He's not evil, he's just [[spoiler:being controlled by Dark Matter.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When he joins the player in Open Pass, as well as the player and partner when attempting to climb Revelation Mountain, there is oddly out of place move in his arsenal: [[spoiler: [[ThePowerOfHate Frustration]].]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After being released from the Dark Matter's influence.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Possessed Nuzleaf certainly qualifies as after one of the Beheeyem's psychic attacks induced amnesia on the Player, who was fighting him before that, he pretended to be a father to them, as he was leading them to destroy the Spring that only they can access.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: After the events in the storyline, Nuzleaf deeply regrets his actions and can't bother showing his face around Serene Village. He redeems himself somewhat in the epilogue, however.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Can't bring himself to show his face to the Player after what he has done.]]

* OutGambitted: [[spoiler:By Ampharos. Nuzleaf never saw his plan coming, and they were derailed quickly as a result]].
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as the father figure to the player. [[spoiler: Turns out to be a ruse to trick the Player Character to do what he wants.]]
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: He leaves Serene Village, never to be seen again, due to feeling shame for what he has done to the player. But he told Carracosta to let them know that [[IShallReturn they will see each other again]] somehow, somewhere.]]
** TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: At the very end of the epilogue, he and the Beheeyem kidnapped Mew to get the Player to follow them and trick them by making them think that they were going to kill the little guy. Turns out to be false, as they needed the Player to show enough resolve to deny that, so that the Partner could come back. He redeemed himself. He and the Beheeyem are now living in Serene Village, when you talk to him he greets you with open arms and a smile.]]
* SouthernGentleman: [[spoiler: A fake one at first, though this becomes genuine after his HeelFaceTurn.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Due to his [[spoiler: BrainwashedAndCrazy nature]].

** Now imagine, that they've succeeded in their dreams and they're done risking their life and they've finally come home...[[spoiler: only for them to literally disappear into thin air with nary a goodbye.]]

* BreakThemByTalking: Apparently, Carracosta is infamous for his long, overbearing lectures, and you face the full brunt of it as punishment for sneaking out at night in one chapter (your partner is asleep due of exhaustion, but that's another story, ''and'' they face their own punishment later). This lasts until the break of dawn, literally, and you become exhausted yourself, even after you try to sleep back in your own house.

* FantasyForbiddingFather: He starts off this way, always telling your partner not to go on adventures and specifically forbidding them from leaving for Lively Town to join the Expedition Society. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted when he sends a letter to your partner supporting their dreams right before they leave.]]
--> [[spoiler: Your adventurous spirit can't be contained. See you when you get back!]] -'''Carracosta'''
* {{Foil}}: To Nuzleaf. Both are local adults at Serene Village who adopted amnesiac children they found in the woods, but Nuzleaf is very hands-off, not often around, but open-minded and lenient whereas Carracosta is very involved, strict, and sometimes overbearing. [[spoiler:And in spite of his attitude, Carracosta is genuinely good, whereas Nuzleaf was BrainwashedAndCrazy]].
* FriendToAllChildren: Carracosta could be considered this, as his protectiveness doesn't extend to just your Partner but to the Player as well. Not to add his explanation to Budew about the Honey making season, and gently advising (maybe more ordering for his nature) to Budew to stay away from the area where they're making Honey, since the workers there are rather aggressive around that time as well. Basically from what has been seen, as long as a child doesn't step out of line he's really friendly & nice towards them.
* GoodParents: In stark contrast to Nuzleaf, the player's father figure, Carracosta is caring, involved in his child's life, [[spoiler: not secretly brainwashed and evil]], and ultimately supportive and loving of your Partner.
** This is especially apparent at the end of the game, where [[spoiler: Carracosta comes to tell your Partner how proud he is of them, but Nuzleaf doesn't come at all, because he can't bear to face the player after everything he's done.]]

* JerkAss: He has coaxed Goomy, and the Player Character (also the Partner, though they really just invited themselves) into going into a dangerous dungeon, and call them cowards if they don't. When the Player attempts to tell them that they are a human from the human world, he outright calls them a liar, and when he sees that the Partner is afraid of ghosts, he calls them a scaredy cat. Fittingly, since Pancham's Pokedex entry in the main series describes it as "The Naughty Pokemon".

* TookALevelInKindness: After the group saves them from the ghosts however he starts to become nicer, even [[spoiler: seeing the two main characters off as they set out for Lively Town.]]

* {{Kidanova}}: Or rather a [[CasanovaWannabe Kidanova Wannabe]]. He hits on the girls and ladies of the village but there appears to be no luck.

* BadassAdorable: Pulls this off with her [[CuteKitten charm]] and [[ActionGirl exceptional competency]]. [[spoiler: In fact, she's so badass that she actually ends up being one of your final party members, standing among powerful elite Pokemon such as Ampharos and Celebi.]]
* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler: Espurr seemingly betrays you to save her own skin from Nuzleaf, which may make the player angry at having trusted Espurr. Actually, Espurr only joined Nuzleaf so she could communicate Nuzleaf's movements to Ampharos and Jirachi, while making Nuzleaf think she's giving him information on Ampharos; Espurr is still genuinely on your side.]]
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: When she is the only one remaining when her Village gets turned into stone.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Espurr is notable among the school children in that [[spoiler: she [[AvertedTrope averts this trope]]. While she doesn't appear between the moment the player and the partner leave Serene Village until they go back to Revelation Mountain, her role in the story becomes very noticeable]].

* TheLancer: For being JustAKid, Espurr does a ''lot'' on her own that massively helps the party, you'll be asking yourself why she doesn't consider joining the Expedition Society.

* NotSoStoic: Very few things get to her. In one case, Espurr breaks down into tears when she finds out that the player character and partner were [[spoiler: brought back from being TakenForGranite]].

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Her own movements during the climax of the game can easily translate to big problems for the BigBad]].

* ActionGirl: She's always the first to suggest running headlong into danger to save her friends. Whether its Goomy or Pancham.

* TheLadette[=/=]OneOfTheBoys: Despite being all pink, a lot of her behavior is decidedly un-feminine, and her best friend is a boy, Goomy. The Player Character even acts surprised the one time they see her hang out with Espurr instead of the guys. Then again, she ''is'' one of the only two girls in the same class/age (three or four, depending on the genders of your and your partner).

** Later, after the haunting, you can find him feeling extremely embarrassed that he fainted at the sight of the ghosts.
* SadistTeacher: He's a stickler for the rules, and specifically goes out of his way to target you and, to a greater extent, your partner. This can be reasonably justified however since, long before you arrived, your partner has been known for causing trouble in the village. Even when you ditch class at one point to save a younger kid's life, he still chews you out regardless. [[spoiler: Luckily, Principal Simipour arrives to forgive and commend you for this, and the other kids apologize for not supporting you.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: We says a number of things to this effect, most notably after you and your partner come home from saving the world.

* SchoolNurse: While she explains this is not her only job (as she's the village doctor as well) she also serves as the school nurse while school is in session.

* BadLiar: Cannot come up with a reasonably decent lie to conceal the fact he and Swirlix ate Carracosta's food in "A Day in the Life of My Old Pops"

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He is flamboyant and cannot navigate to the point an assistant is needed at all times but there is a very good reason he is in charge.
* TheChessmaster: Even moreso than [[spoiler:Nuzleaf. If Dark Matter could be stopped in time, it's mostly because Ampharos thought quickly and set up a [[TheMole mole]] ''and'' a trap to reach the Tree of Life as soon as possible. He pulls this again in the epilogue - after finding out Mew was ill, he quickly set up a fake kidnapping with Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem so that they would pretend they wanted to kill Mew because Dark Matter was within it. This was done so that The Player's genuine desperate wish to save Mew could bring The Partner back]].
* CloudCuckooLander: More downplayed compared to Wigglytuff but he has very little sense of direction, to the point that he wanders everywhere and bumps into things until he gets somewhere. And when he does, he has no idea where he is anyways.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: An AgentPeacock that has NoSenseOfDirection at all. Yet, he is capable of ''always'' being one step ahead of [[spoiler:the antagonistic [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] Nuzleaf. Even having the entire society (bar him, Swirlix and Jirachi) turned into stone was no significant setback in his plan to thwart Dark Matter's intentions]].

* NoSenseOfDirection: The dude's so bad [[EstablishingCharacterMoment he walks into buildings while trying to walk a straight path]], and actually getting to the location he's trying to reach is called nothing less than a miracle. Naturally, he's not supposed to go anywhere by himself.

* BadassBookworm: Intervenes [[spoiler:a fire attack aimed at Ampharos by ''Entei'' and dispels it effortlessly. Keep in mind she is weak to fire]].
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: While she is a powerful ally who managed to block [[spoiler: even a fire attack from Entei]], she realistically wouldn't last a few seconds against [[spoiler:him]] in a regular fight, considering their respective typings and levels.
* GeniusBruiser: An archaeologist who [[spoiler: effortlessly blocks incoming fire attacks from ''Entei'']]. To be fair, she's level ''50''.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: At the end of the Voidlands, your party discovers a ray of light that can take you back to the real world, but Void Shadows keep appearing and covering up the light. Entei asks Mawile to do something for him, and she agrees. The plan is to take out a group of Void Shadows, temporarily revealing the light before more appear to cover it up, and then have Mawile knock your player character and your partner over to the ray of light; Mawile stays behind in the Voidlands with the other Legendary Pokemon so you and your partner can escape.]]

* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Is always the first to chastise anyone who acts out of line (i.e. when Ampharos wanders off, when Swirlix eats all the food.) That doesn't mean that she doesn't have her moments of silliness though.

* NotSoAboveItAll: The second most sane of the Society but can be this sometimes.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Is quick to defend the heroes in the fight against [[spoiler:Entei, however it ended in a CurbStompBattle]].

* CrutchCharacter: Can be this if your team isn't particularly fantastic at fighting a multitude Fire- and Ground-types [[spoiler: in Fire Island Volcano]]. The crutch gets kicked soon enough [[spoiler:after Entei severely injures Buizel, disabling him from fighting in the incoming boss fight]].
* LongRangeFighter: Most of Buizel's default movepool revolves around attacking foes from a distance. Hydro Pump in particular is extremely helpful if your team must defeat multiple enemy Pokemon in an alley or hallway.

--> '''Jirachi''': (On the Player character being turned into a Pokemon) [[LampshadeHanging "Well this happens all the time, doesn't it?"]]

* HeavySleeper / {{Sleepwalking}}: Or rather, sleep-fighting. Such a heavy sleeper, that only catastrophic injury and wake him from his rest.

* PalsWithJesus: He's a Mythical Pokemon who is a member of the Expedition Society and lives at their HQ with them.

* BigEater: Not only does she cook for the other members but she has a habit of eating before they can. In fact, she stashes away the other members' leftovers (which Ampharos finds, [[NotSoAboveItAll and eats from]], much to her dismay).

* ObsessedWithFood: To the point where she actively scouts for opportunities to stuff her face, even in the most inappropriate settings [[spoiler:including inside of a Legendary Pokemon's lair, and during her last dying moments before being turned to stone]].

* OutOfFocus: The only unlucky member who barely gets any focus. He doesn't even get to tag team with the main duo alone on a mission. [[spoiler: What's more, he's one of the earliest party members to get absorbed by the Dark Matter, further pushing him away from the spotlight.]]

* NervesOfSteel: Manages to gather enough inner courage to [[spoiler: stop Entei from immediately mauling the player and their partner on their first encounter]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Like [[spoiler: Nuzleaf and Yveltal]], they are under the control of the Dark Matter. One however managed to escape their control.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: It's implied that the Beheeyem who broke free went through this as he realized that [[spoiler: he was the one who is responsible for the Player's amnesia, causing them to be played by Nuzleaf.]] His regret is clearly voiced when he refuses to speak about it.

The Destruction Pokemon. Appears late during the story to reveal its true intentions.

* TheAtoner: Fully regrets everything he has done [[spoiler: while under Dark Matter's control]]. Near the end of his Connection Orb Mission, he willingly and immediately joins the team in hopes that it will somehow compensate for his actions.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Manages to fire one final Oblivion Wing against Dark Matter in a last resort attack.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Like [[spoiler: Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem]], he has been under a form of mind control of the Dark Matter.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He may be the Destruction Pokemon, but he's not at all evil, and is simply under Dark Matter's control.

** Yveltal's ability, Dark Aura, which makes Snarl and [[spoiler: Nuzleaf's]] Dark-type attacks quite a bit more painful.

* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: As long as there are negative emotions, [[spoiler: the Dark Matter cannot truly be destroyed, unless [[DefiedTrope it is accepted as a part of everyone]].]]

* EldritchAbomination: Like the preceding villain, this monster isn't a Pokemon. [[spoiler:Its threat goes so far that it can turn legendary Pokemon, including '''[[PhysicalGod Arceus]]''', [[TakenForGranite into stone]]]].

** [[spoiler: Also, Dark Matter's final form's appearance resembles the first form of Yami from ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'']].
* HateSink: Exploited. [[spoiler: It exists purely by ThePowerOfHate; even after its physical body is destroyed by the heroes, it merely states that their own hatred of it plus all the negative feelings in the world will allow it to reform eventually anyway, thus only delaying the inevitable. Defied utterly by the partner who accepts Dark Matter completely as a part of all of themselves, which not only completely shocks it but is implied to [[KilledOffForReal utterly negate its existence once and for all.]]]]

* PeacefulInDeath: [[spoiler: When the player character's partner says that they accept negativity as a part of who they are before smashing Dark Matter's core to bits, Dark Matter can be seen saying "thank you" [[FreezeFrameBonus through the burst of white light]].]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To [[spoiler:the Bittercold from ''Gates of Infinity'', being a non-Pokemon entity that serves as the FinalBoss and BigBad of the game]].

* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: All of its attacks are typeless, and they have vague descriptions that do not tend to be related to the effect they cause. Dark Matter itself starts of typeless and then changes types every time its core is cracked (to a type that resists the move that cracked the core) but this is not stated by the game.

* {{Determinator}}: Forget being confronted by six capable Pokemon, [[spoiler: ''including two legendary beasts'']], he just wants his money!

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Krookodile seems like the culprit behind turning Pokemon into stone. While he's indeed the one leaving behind "warnings" in advance, he's not the culprit; the culprit promised Krookodile money if Krookodile would leave those warnings behind.]]
* TheUnfought: Like with Skuntank in ''Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky'', the player does not engage Krookodile in battle at all, despite story events leading up to such a scenario. [[spoiler: Instead, you encounter a [[AlwaysABiggerFish much, much bigger problem]].]]

* TheBully: [[HeelFaceTurn Pancham's]] replacement in Lively Town, although it never really goes anywhere as the protagonists have more pressing matters to attend, and [[BigBrotherInstinct Buizel]] neutralizes him at every opportunity anyway.
* DarkIsEvil: Attempts to extort the player and their partner twice. Ultimately subverted however, as he thanks the heroes for saving Krookodile (and the rest of the world) and turns over a new leaf with him.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Entei has no obligations over killing anyone who so much as enters his territory.
* GoodIsNotNice: Raikou and Entei will treat the protagonists like slave mules [[spoiler: as the presence of a human is their only way of exiting the Voidlands]], while Suicune is calmly indifferent at best.
* GuestStarPartyMember: All three of them have powerful stats and a wide selection of [[LongRangeFighter ranged attacks]], making them extremely valuable assets [[spoiler: in the Voidlands, where the player is limited in resources]]. Unfortunately, the player can only get a [[ATasteofPower taste of their power]] [[spoiler: for a few dungeons before leaving them behind]].
* {{Irony}}: Entei is at least partially inspired by the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_guardian_lions Foo Dogs/Chinese Guard Lions]] which are symbols of protection and good fortune. He's a KnightOfCerebus who almost fried the protagonists in his introduction.

* KnightOfCerebus: Entei pops up to try to kill the heroes right when the mystery of Pokemon turning into stone becomes the central plot. Despite not being a villain, every other scene he's in is played seriously.

* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler: The three become far more respectful towards the heroes after they have been revived, and even end up asking to join their team.]]
* WakeUpCallBoss: Think you could get away with siccing [[CrutchCharacter Buizel]] on every tough Fire-type in Fire Island Volcano? Think you're safe after wasting tons of Oran Berries and Reviver Seeds on the miniboss squad a few moments earlier? Entei's there to eventually put you back in shape [[spoiler: after badly crippling Buizel]].

* BackForTheDead: They make a new appearance since ''Rescue Team'' in this series only to be turned into stone minutes after their reintroduction.
* IOweYouMyLife: [[spoiler: At their postgame mission's end, the two thank the player character for reviving them, and saving the world, followed by joining their team]].
* NiceGuy: [[spoiler: After being revived, the two arranged a meeting with the heroes to thank them for bringing them back from stone and saving the world before joining their team.]]

The mythical Time Travel Pokemon. Cooperates with the remaining members of the Expedition Society to save the world.

* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: Does NOT do well in his introductory chapter's boss fight due to his multiple weaknesses and lack of coverage against [[spoiler: Yveltal and Nuzleaf]]. The best he can do is deal with [[spoiler: the Beheeyem]] and pray for some Special Defense drops from Energy Ball.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Pretends to be the character's [[ParentalSubstitute guardian]] in order to get them to [[spoiler: activate the Luminous Spring so he could destroy it. Subverted in that he's not really evil, but being controlled by Dark Matter.]]
