* CanonImmigrant: Melanie appears in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' as a Cerulean City trainer who will give you Bulbasaur she nursed back to health.

* CanonImmigrant: Damian appears in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' as a trainer north of Cerulean City [[AdaptationalNiceGuy looking for someone to raise his Charmander better than he can]].

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His appearance is based on Creator/ClintEastwood. Additionally, his cowboy style outfit is a nod to ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'' and his revolver, which he has named Thunderbolt, refers to ''Film/ThunderboltAndLightfoot''.

* FieryRedhead: A hot blooded gang leader. He even has a yellow streak to make it look more like fire.

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:In his attempt to hypnotize everyone in town into watching his show with an army of Exeggutor, albeit inadvertently because of Team Rocket, he loses control of them and they end up hypnotizing each other]].

* TheWorfEffect: Has his Arcanine use Dragon Rage to take out Ash's Kingler.

* ScrewPolitenessImASenior

* VirtuousCharacterCopy: He's based on Ethan Edwards from ''Film/TheSearchers'', but while his inspiration was a ruthless racist and one of the darkest characters Creator/JohnWayne ever played, he's a kind and gentle soul.

* ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' (specifically, the Creator/AdamWest [[Series/Batman1966 version]]) and ''Franchise/{{Spiderman}}'' in the dub.

* {{Jerkass}}: Which is really saying something, because in his first appearance, he left Charmander to almost die (that is until Ash, Misty and Brock saved Charmander before its tail flame went out).

* {{Expy}}: Her design appears to be based on the Lass trainer type from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue''.

* CombatPragmatist: Her answer to Pikachu starting a staring contest with her Cubone during battle? Bone Club in the head, followed by Bonemerang. Her Cubone has the same attitude, and doesn't need being prompted to throw another Bonemerang at Pikachu when he tries to stand back up.
** Then Jessie, James and Meowth show up and she [[ZergRush leads]] ''[[ZergRush the entire beginners' class]]'' [[ZergRush against them]]. They didn't even bother to take their Pokémon out, they just threw the Poké Balls at their heads. She even lampshades this CurbStompBattle by saying that "Bad guys don't play by the rules!".

* FatalFlaw: Giselle doesn't [[CripplingOverspecialization think outside the box]]. She is skilled trainer who is knowledgeable about the moves and habits of many Pokémon. However, she battles based on what she has absorbed from books and is taken off guard when Ash and Pikachu resort to tactics she's never studied in class.
