[[folder: SPOILER CHARACTER! [[spoiler: The Mastermind, Dark Matter]]]]

* EasilyForgiven: Downplayed. [[spoiler: Mew could not forgive it for the trouble it caused in the past before the events of the game, and their emotions allows it to survive. The partner at the end of the main story doesn't forgive it, so much as they are willing to accept it since both good and bad emotions go hand in hand.]]

* [[spoiler: RedHerring: Krookodile becomes a prime suspect in turning multiple Pokémon 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.]]

[[folder:The Mastermind, Dark Matter]]

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Krookodile seems like the culprit behind turning Pokémon 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.]]

* HeartwarmingOrphan: Unlike the other kids in the village, she lives by herself, and it's implied that she lacks any parental figures.

* LovableCoward: Goomy is normally very timid, which leads to him being picked on by Pancham and Shelmet. He does get along well with the player, partner, Deerling, and Espurr, though.

The leader of the Expedition Society. Refers to himself as The Dashing Wanderer.

* DistinctionWithoutADifference: He claims to not be a member of the Expedition Society. When it is later revealed that he ''is'' part of it, he explains that he's the ''leader'' that makes the rest of the Society work. His fellow members see this as grossly obnoxious and threatened (pretended) to quit the group.

* NoSenseOfDirection: The dude's so bad [[EstablishingCharacterMoment that 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 by Dedene. According to her, he's not supposed to go anywhere by himself.

** [[spoier: She claims she was a DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent and FakeDefector to escape being TakenForGranite, not out of fear or cowardace, but because the predicament doesn't sound very "interesting". She also claims she is not affected by threats, which the partner finds "terrifying".]]

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

* WalkingSpoiler: Just look at how much of this section is commented out!

* EmotionlessGirl: Appears to be this way at first, especially given Espurr's character portraits and dialogue. Ultimately subverted, however.

* HeartwarmingOrphan: Unlike the other kids in the village, she lives by herself and doesn't have any parental figures.

* BullyTurnedBuddy

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Has very long hair.

** Espurr is able to sneak you and your partner past him by praising him with telepathy, which causes him to blush and become extremely distracted.

* SmallNameBigEgo: He says a number of things to this effect, most notably after you and your partner come home from saving the world.
-->'''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!"

A teacher at Serene village school.

The leader of the Expedition Society.

* NoSenseOfDirection: The dude's so bad [[EstablishingCharacterMoment that 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.

* 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 of creating the Nexus and Exploration Gadgets.

* {{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.

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

!Serene Village School Faculty

* [[Tsundere TsunDere]]: A male example; it's always been hinted that Pancham does consider the main characters his friends, but he hides it behind a tough exterior; this is Lampshaded by the Partner who claims deep down Pancham does want to be friends. [[spoiler: Pancham is also one of the few in Serene Village who gives his condolences for the partners disappearance]]

[[spoiler: Pancham is also one of the few in Serene Village who gives his condolences for the partners disappearance]]

[[folder:Pancham]]

The local bully. He's constantly goading others into danger.
-----
* TheBully: His primary role until he TookALevelInKindness.
* BullyTurnedBuddy
* DirtyCoward: Despite always daring other kids to go into danger, he's often too scared to go himself.
* PandaingToTheAudience: He's a panda-based Pokémon, 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 would 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 Pokémon".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Proves himself as this after getting rescued from the ghosts.
* {{Irony}}: The ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' FlavorText for Pancham's evolution, Pangoro, describes it as ''defending'' others from bullies.
* PetTheDog: At the beginning of the Epilogue chapter when you talk to Pancham he gives his condolences for [[spoiler:your partner disappearing]].
* ReformedBully: After he's saved from the ghosts, he stops bullying the protagonists.
* TheRival: He acts this way to your partner at first.
* 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]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Shelmet]]
Pancham's lackey. He has a tendency to hit on the female Pokémon, including the nurse.
-----
* BullyTurnedBuddy: Along with Pancham
* {{Kidanova}}: Or rather a [[CasanovaWannabe Kidanova Wannabe]]. He hits on the girls and ladies of the village, but there appears to be no luck.
* PrecociousCrush: He seems to have one on Audino.

[[folder:Goomy]]

* TheBrute: [[spoiler:Where Nuzleaf is the brains, manipulating everyone, Yveltal is the brawn, 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.]]

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He petrifies The Player, The Partner, Archen, Suicune, and Entei at Revelation Mountain]].

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

* HelloNurse: Shelmet has a crush on her, but she does not seem so interested.

* VitriolicBestBuds: With Pancham and Shelmet, she dislikes their bullying Goomy and the partner but she does consider them her friends [[spoiler: even willing to save them when they're kidnapped by ghosts.]]

* AmbiguousGender: Your player character's gender is not specified, since your player character is meant to represent you, the player.

* PetTheDog: At the beginning of the Epilogue chapter when you talk to Pancham he gives his condolences for [[spoiler:your partner disappearing]]

* ReformedBully: See TookALevelInKindness.

* HeelFaceTurn: See TookALevelInKindness.

* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:Turns out this was just an act so that the player and partner wouldn't be aware of their real intention to fight off the Void Shadows and stay behind in the Voidlands while they save the world.]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Mew''']]: (Cheerfully Oblivious) "Well then, let's go! I'm with you!"

-->:'''Carracosta''': [[spoiler:''(Happy)'' "Oh it's you, [Player]!" ''(Looks at Mew, shocked)'' "Huh!? Is that [Partner]...?" ''(Crestfallen)'' "Nope, it isn't...What's wrong with me? They don't look anything alike. I guess I'm getting old..."]]

* 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 consciousness, they stopped at nothing to look for him.]]

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Or Dream-Boy, as the case may be. Regardless, they fit the mold: constantly running off on mischievous adventures and dragging you into trouble with them.

* 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...)
** In fact, [[spoiler:Mew]] is so cute, a whole bunch of random NPC's comment on it too.

--> '''Player:''' "YOU'RE [[spoiler:Mew]]?"
--> [[spoiler:'''Mew''']]: "Yup, I'm [[spoiler:Mew]]! Why? Am I famous or something?"

* 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 Forest, he just decides to stick around, even though the PC is clearly distressed at this development.

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

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In spite of Mew being a Mythical Pokémon [[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 Pokémon, and those that do were already familiar with one, so they don't find it to be a big deal.

* AmbiguousGender: Contrary to popular belief, the cool and cute, options do not determine the partner's gender, just which Pokémon the partner is more likely to be selected as by the quiz. Their gender is never actually specified, unless you choose Pikachu, in which case they either do or don't have a notch in their tail. [[spoiler:And eEither way, the gender question is further complicated by being an aspect of Mew, a Pokémon with NoBiologicalSex]].

* AmbiguousGender: Contrary to popular belief, the cool and cute, options do not determine the partner's 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.)
