----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: His replacement from the Takeshi Shudo-authored [[Literature/PocketMonstersTheAnimation novelization]] never blames Ash for the trouble he created, and is generally a lot more humble.
* AdaptedOut: Of Creator/TakeshiShudo's novels. His role is instead filled by a generic bug catcher from the original games.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Owns a Metapod (giant cocoon) and Pinsir (giant beetle).
* BloodKnight: He seeks out trainers of Pallet Town to battle and admits enjoying losing to them because it motivates him to get stronger. His frustration with Ash is due to him not living up to his expectations.
* CanonImmigrant: The Samurai appears in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' as a Bug Catcher in Viridian Forest who explains how cool Metapod are.
* CoolHelmet: His samurai outfit wouldn't be complete without one of those...
* CoolSword: ...or one of these. [[SubvertedTrope But it's actually a toy]].
* FreeRangeChildren: Apparently lives in a cabin by himself.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Berates Ash for abandoning his Metapod when he was responsible for the whole mess by interrupting Ash's Weedle capture, and also considering Ash tried his hardest to get back the Metapod.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Repeatedly scolds and berates Ash but comes to respect him when he shows that he ''can'' be a competent Pokémon trainer, while even seeing himself as a novice compared to him.
* NeverMyFault: He accuses Ash of acting like this when Ash says it's his fault the Weedle got away and that he's the only one who should be blamed. Thing is, he's guilty of this attitude himself, since he pulled his (toy) sword on Ash to interrupt him even after Ash made it clear to him that he was busy.
* NoNameGiven: He's just called "Samurai".
* OneShotCharacter: The very first!
* SignatureMon: Though he has a Pinsir and Metapod on his team, he's mostly remembered for his Pinsir due to being a relatively strong Pokémon for Ash to battle (and fitting with the Samurai aesthetics) while Metapod did nothing but Harden during its battle against Ash's Metapod.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Interrupts Ash's capture of a Weedle for a Pokémon battle, which later escalates into a full-on Beedrill attack.
* VerbalTic: In the original, he ends every sentence with "de gozaru," which was common in ancient samurai speech.
* WhatTheHellHero: His counterpart in the novelization calls Ash out on his failure to save Metapod (which is here due to negligence, as the Beedrill swarm is a coincidence).
* WorthyOpponent: How he regards the other two Pallet trainers, Gary and eventually Ash.

----
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: His Sandshrew trains by swimming in a pool to help build its resistance to Water-type attacks.
* AnimeHair: It's very spiky.
* CanonImmigrant: A Youngster and his Sandshrew appear in ''Pokémon Yellow'' on the road to Rock Tunnel; defeating him prompts him to mention the need to restart their 100-win streak.
* CurbStompBattle His Sandshrew easily beats both Ash's Pidgeotto, and Ash's Butterfree, despite the fact that their Flying type are strong against Sandshrew.
** Later on, his Sandshrew also easily defeats the TerribleTrio's respective Pokémon, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Meowth]], even to the point that a single Fisure caused AJ to win by a forfeit.
* DishingOutDirt: Sandshrew happens to be his main partner, as well.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While his training methods are undeniably harsh, he genuinely cares about his Pokémon.
* KillerRabbit: His Sandshrew is small and cute, and its Fissure attack inflicts a OneHitKO by ''[[EarthquakesCauseFissures causing a small earthquake followed by a]] [[ShapedLikeItself fissure]]''.
* TheRival: To Ash, which is lampshaded by Brock by telling Ash that he's found another rival.
* SignatureMon: AJ has many Pokémon on his team, but it's his Sandshrew that he trains the most and has the most care for.
* TrainingFromHell: His style of Pokémon training. And it pays off, too.
* WhipOfDominance: He wields a whip to illustrate how he's a DrillSergeantNasty who puts his Pókemon through [[TrainingFromHell borderline abusive training]].

----
* CanonImmigrant: Joe appears in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' as a Junior Trainer north of Vermilion City. Notably, his game-self is dating Giselle.
* CurbStompBattle: His Weepinbell is easily beaten by Misty's Starmie despite having Water-type Pokémon being weak against Grass-Type Pokémon.
* GreenThumb: Trains a Weepinbell.
* MythologyGag: He develops battling skills using a Pokémon simulator -- not wholly unlike the original Pokémon games.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: When pressed by his fellow students, he pretends to know less than he actually does so that their grilling won't be so unbearable.
* ThrowTheDogABone: In his episode of origin, Joe is implied to have a crush on Giselle; he's carrying a picture of her around and all[[note]]This is more explicit in the Japanese, where the photo has an UmbrellaOfTogetherness diagram marked in the corner[[/note]]. When both characters get TheCameo in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'', [[PromotedToLoveInterest they appear as a couple]].

->'''Voiced in English by:''' Annie Pondel

----
* AcademicAlphaBitch: A quintessential example of the trope, as her bullying is solely related to how well one does in class.
* TheAce: She's the top student of the Beginner's class of Pokémon Tech (As according to her BadassBoast).
* BilingualBonus: Her name in the dub comes from the greek word meaning "Blessed".
* BrainyBrunette: She has dark brown hair and she's the top student in the Beginner's class.
* BreakTheHaughty: Ash defeating her was quite the slice of HumblePie.
* CanonImmigrant: Giselle appears in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' as a Junior Trainer north of Vermilion City. Notably, her game-self is dating Joe.
* 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.
** When Jessie, James and Meowth show up, she [[ZergRush leads]] ''[[ZergRush the entire beginners' class]]'' [[ZergRush against them]]. They don't even bother to take their Pokémon out, they just throw the Poké Balls at their heads. She even lampshades this CurbStompBattle by saying that "Bad guys don't play by the rules!".
* DefrostingIceQueen: After getting defeated by Ash, she becomes much nicer.
* DishingOutDirt: Her known Pokémon are Graveler and Cubone.
* DudeMagnet: She's quite popular despite her attitude, and even has the honor of being the first and possibly ''only'' female to actually attract [[ChasteHero Ash's]] attention. Not to mention it was the only time Brock showed interest in somebody who wasn't an [[LikesOlderWomen older woman]] (in the dub, in the Japanese version of the original series, Takeshi tends to imply JailbaitWait).
* {{Expy}}: Giselle's design is based on the generic Lass trainer-class of ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', but with a slightly fancier uniform and more glamorous stockings and hair.
* FatalFlaw: Giselle doesn't [[CripplingOverspecialization think outside the box]]. She is a 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.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** While she's overly harsh towards Joe, her criticisms of his overly rigid thinking is accurate, with Misty having already proved this by easily defeating Joe in spite of being at a type disadvantage.
** Giselle ends up coming to the conclusion that Ash most likely won his first two Badges by luck. While she had no way of actually knowing this, it is true that neither Badge was actually earned through battle, and Ash would ultimately end up obtaining ''half'' of his Kanto Badges through similar means. [[OldShame This would ultimately become a topic of embarrassment for Ash later on]].
* LovableAlphaBitch: She is constantly bullying the younger students at the academy, including Joe...somewhat. All of her bullying consists of supplying useful tips for trainers, but [[JerkassHasAPoint in the harshest and most back-handed possible way]].
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name read as Yūtō Seiyo actually means honor student. Fitting considering how she seems to be a stuck-up know-it-all.
* PetTheDog: Consoled her Cubone when it lost to Ash's Pikachu in a battle, telling it that it did a great job.
* ProudBeauty: "It's sad that others aren't blessed with my beauty".
* ScissorsCutsRock: Her Graveler easily beats Misty's Starmie despite having Rock-Type Pokémon being weak against Water-Type Pokémon. Ash later gives her a taste of her own medicine.
* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful: How Giselle gets away with being the queen bee of such an abusive student body.

->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/MaddieBlaustein (4Kids), Eli James ([=BW116=], flashback)
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/EduardoGarza
The original owner of Ash's Charmander.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** His counterpart in ''Pokémon Yellow'' isn't as much of an uncaring {{jerkass}} as he is in the anime, as he's fully aware that he's a lousy trainer and figures his Charmander deserves better.
** His counterpart in ''The Electric Tale of Pikachu'' is also far nicer; rather than abandon his Charmander on purpose, he got into an accident and was sent into a ten-day coma, with an oblivious Charmander waiting for him to come back. The two ended up happily reuniting later on.
* AmbitiousButLazy: Damian has no problem abandoning his Charmander for being too weak, but once he sees how strong it is after Ash, Misty, and Brock nursed it to health, he comes back for it and states that ''he is glad that he didn't have to train it.'' When Brock calls him out on this, Damien's "comeback" is that training Pokèmon is the boring part of being a trainer.
* CanonImmigrant: Damian appears in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'' as a trainer north of Cerulean City [[AdaptationalNiceGuy looking for someone to raise his Charmander better than he can]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Seen showing off his large collection of Poké Balls to his gang of friends... and then boasting about how he got rid of Charmander. His friends praise him in return, solidifying the fact that he has no passion in being a trainer and is [[ItsAllAboutMe only interested in validation]].
* EvilBrit: In the English dub, he speaks with a vaguely British accent and retains his extreme callousness.
* GreaterScopeVillain: His abuse of Charmander set the stage for its attitude problem, and all the trouble that it caused Ash, upon evolving.
* HateSink: The whole purpose of his character is to show that not all Pokémon trainers are good ones and can be terrible, in contrast to Ash's character.
* IWantMyMommy: Does this after Charmander (and Pikachu) roast him alive. [[DirtyCoward It's as cathartic and pathetic as it sounds]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Damian eventually did come back for Charmander, but only because he saw him as useful after all by that point.
* KickTheDog: He abandoned his Charmander and had no intention of going back to get it, and he didn't even care that Charmander would have died in the rain.
* LackOfEmpathy: Showed no empathy for the fact that Charmander could have died sitting on that rock waiting for him.
* LazyBum: He finds the ''training'' part of being a Pokémon trainer to be boring and simply desires Pokémon that are strong at the start so that [[SmallNameBigEgo he can win more battles and show off]].
* NeverMyFault: During the confrontation at the Pokémon Center, Damian tries to pick a fight with Ash, Misty, and Brock after they witness his pretentious and callous attitude. Nurse Joy intervenes, saying that Pokémon are not to be used in petty battles. Naturally, Damian blames the three of them before he and his gang storm out.
* ObviouslyEvil: His English name is ''[[Film/TheOmen DAMIAN]]'' for Pete's sake!
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in Charmander's debut episode, and is single-handedly responsible for his anger issues and attitude during evolution. [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal Constant abuse will do that to someone]].

->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/ChikaSakamoto
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Kayzie Rogers
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Rommy Mendoza
----
* ArcVillain: Though technically different characters, they serve the same role as the villain mastermind who hired Team Rocket to cause trouble in these two consecutive episodes.
** Brutella in "Beauty and the Beach" is a rival restaurant owner who seeks to buy out Moe's business by using Team Rocket to both sabotage food service and later eliminate the Beauty Contest contestants to get the prize money and deny Moe any chance of clearing his debts.
** Nastina in "Tentacool and Tentacruel" is responsible for the Tentacool's habitat destruction to make way for her hotel as well as driving up a town frenzy to exterminate them when the Tentacool begin to retaliate.
* EvilOldFolks: They're both at least in their fifties and they serve as the BigBad in their appearances.
* EvilRedhead: They're both pretty rotten people.
* HumiliationConga: Nastina's construction is sabotaged, all the buildings she was constructing are demolished, she gets blasted with Horsea ink, and ultimately gets sent flying.
* MeaningfulName: Interestingly, Brutella's English name comes not from the word ''brute'', but from the Italian word ''brutta'', meaning "ugly." Nastina's name is based on just what we'd expect it to be, though.
* NeverMessWithGranny: A villainous example. Nastina took a ''shotgun'' to the Tentacruel attacking the city among other weapons that [[NoSell luckily didn't get edited out in the English Dub]]. [[GunsAreWorthless Not that it worked]].
* RichBitch: Nastina, who's a hotel manager.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: They're cousins, and aside from a slight color difference as well as differently-colored hair decs, they're virtually identical. This is even lampshaded by the TerribleTrio, whom they mistake Nastina for Brutella in the original.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Brutella; the episode she first appears in was initially skipped (being dubbed in the one-off edit which came much later in the anime's run after the questionable content was cut out). She gets a brief [[TheCameo cameo]] at the end of the following episode, though (which is her only appearance in subsequent airings).

----
* GracefulLoser: For his competitiveness, he knows whenever it's best to throw in the towel (both figuratively and literally) and holds no grudges against people who defeat him as long as they do it fairly.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: One of his defining traits is an understanding that some things are more important than winning.
** He sums the trope up best when he gives Brock advice when Hitmonlee gets the upper hand (or foot) on Geodude.
-->'''Anthony''': If you're a real man, you know when you have to admit defeat. Time to face facts. You can lose today and win tomorrow.
** Anthony forfeits the semi-final match himself after his daughter nearly sacrifices herself to save Hitmonchan. It was then that he realized how important family always came before training.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He is functionally identical to Wrestling/AntonioInoki

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meowzie.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Masami Toyoshima
A female Meowth who Meowth fell in love with. His love for her inspired him to walk and speak like a human, but she ditches him for a Persian in the end.
----
* AlphaBitch: If Meowth's flashbacks and translating are to be trusted, she's condescending, uptight and crushingly snide.
* BreakTheHaughty: Zigzagged. Getting thrown onto the streets took her down a peg, but she soon managed to leach off of other strays, and still looks down on Meowth.
* TheCameo: Though she never reappeared in person, her likeness was used odd times in Meowth's {{Imagine Spot}}s such as "Noodles Roamin Off".
* CatsAreMean: Her treatment of Meowth, the anime's key antagonist Pokémon, makes him look downright sympathetic.
* IdenticalStranger: In ''Journeys'' episode 95, Meowth falls in love with a female Meowth belonging to Butch that is almost identical to Meowzie, even invoking memories of her from him. While she is less callous than Meowzie, she follows the trend of being in love with a Persian, breaking Meowth's heart again.
* {{Irony}}: She initially looked down on Meowth for being an average stray. While Meowth worked himself into being one of the most remarkable Pokémon in the series ([[CutLexLuthorACheck and continues doing so]]), Meowzie got thrown out of her home and reduced to being a stray as she had called him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: After she loses her pampered life, she seems to be humbled and asks Meowth to help her gang. When he doesn't play ball however, she makes clear her heart was with Persian the whole time and she continues to label him a freak.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After looking down on Meowth for being a stray, she is released into the streets by her bankrupt owner.
* LovingAShadow: It's clear that Meowth's love for Meowize is based on an idealized version of her doesn't really exist as Meowize only cares about a pampered life of riches and hates "freaks". And since Meowth is neither rich nor likes to be called a freak, it motivates him to join Team Rocket to both become highly privileged (hoping to be Giovanni's top cat) and accepted for who he is.
* ManipulativeBitch: She tries to sweet talk Meowth into helping her gang. When he doesn't play along, however, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere she cuts the act and regains her cruel attitude]].
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Unlike the other Meowths in the series, she has distinguishing feminine eyes.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She supplies heart crushing ones to Meowth in each meeting.
* RichesToRags: After her master became bankrupt, she was left to fend for herself, getting taken in by Meowth's old gang.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She appeared personally in only one episode, mostly via flashback. She is pretty much the entire pivot for Team Rocket's Meowth gaining human sapience, however.

----
* TheAce: With the exception of Alain (who even then was still a competition winner for Kalos) the series final eight are all the Champions of at least one region.
* TheBusCameBack: All of them, aside from Leon, are characters Ash met in previous series.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Like Ash, they fought long and hard to achieve their ranks, but we don't get to see any of it onscreen. All we know is that one of them had to beat Flint, since he was in the top eight in episode 100, but by 109 he's lost his position.
* SignatureMon: A piece of artwork depicting the final chosen eight, each with one Pokémon representing them:
** Lance: Shiny Gyarados (as opposed to the games' Dragonite)
** Steven: Shiny Metagross
** Cynthia: Garchomp
** [[spoiler: Iris: Haxorus]]
** Diantha: Gardevoir
** [[spoiler: Alain]] & Leon: Charizard
** [[spoiler: Ash: Pikachu]]
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Leon, Cynthia, Steven, and Diantha are very strategic and methodical when they battle right from the start, very much being technicians. Lance, [[spoiler: Ash, Iris, and Alain]] are more improvisational and prefer to figure out what they'll do after seeing their opponents in action, making them more performers. [[spoiler: Coincidentally, the first round of the Masters' Tournament were all Performers vs Technicians.]]
* WorldsBestWarrior: They are recognised as the eight strongest trainers in the world [[note]]if the trainer chooses to participate in the Coronation Series of course, but then, anyone can register for it and there's no gym battle prerequisites to qualify.[[/note]] In the No.1 position, the very strongest is crowned Monarch. The tournament to challenge the World Champion is for those eight only. Anyone seeking an official battle for the title must advance into the Master Class before the end of the season, or find themselves LockedOutOfTheFight.

Also unsuccessfully attempted on [[{{Intangibility}} Gengar]].
* OhCrap: Her Raichu gets this expression when Ash's Gengar dodges its Thunderbolt, and remains that way for much of the battle as it becomes increasingly clear just how [[CurbStompBattle thoroughly outclassed]] it is.
** She herself gets this expression when she learns that being defeated by Ash her rank is now lower and she will have to tell Lt. Surge when he comes back.
* ShockAndAwe: As the substitute gym leader she specializes in Electric types and is seen using Raichu and Electrode.
* TakingYouWithMe: Should her Electrode take enough damage, its ability Aftermath is triggered, resulting in an explosion meant to catch the opponent and knock them out with it.
* WorthyOpponent: Surge's word about Ash makes Visquez take Ash's reputation as a challenger on a high note.

----
* BareFistedMonk: His Gallade is part Fighting-type and knows Close Combat.
* CurbStompBattle: Gives one to Farfetch'd in their first meeting. His Gallade is able to take it down in 2 hits while Farfetch'd is unable to even land one.
* {{Expy}}: To Tad from the Orange Islands. He battled Ash while he was dealing with an unruly Pokemon, sort of helping him reigning said Pokemon in, and then saying they'll have a rematch when Ash gets a better handle on the Pokemon. Unlike Tad however, he returns for a second episode.
** He can also be seen as a expy of Wally from ''Videogame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', albeit a slightly more jerkish expy, since both characters have similar hairstyles and hair colours and both use a Gallade as their ace.
* FlatCharacter: Appears to be tame compared to most of Ash's rival's. See SatelliteCharacter below.
* OhCrap: After Farfetch'd gets fully motivated by Ash and starts a come back, Rinto not only is visibly surprised, as his Gallade flinches and even ''shivers'' after being hit consecutively three times!
* PsychicPowers: Gallade is part Psychic-type and knows Psycho Cut.
* SatelliteCharacter: Serves no purpose other than to develop Ash's Farfetch'd. While most World Coronation Series contests have some understanding motive to be competing, Rinto only appears to be competing just for a rematch against Ash and being an opponent to get him out of the Great Class faster.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His first appearance and battle with Ash and Farfetch'd, short and swift it was, is what encourages Ash to try to get more in sync with it so they can battle better next time.
* StealthMentor: Apparently, tries to point what's wrong about Ash & Farfetch'd's team work, but, he spent a good part of the battle being dismissive and not actually telling the problem.
* WeWillMeetAgain: He promises Ash they will meet again for a proper battle once he and Farfetch'd improve their teamwork. He does nine episodes later.

----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: His replacement from the Takeshi Shudo-authored [[Literature/PocketMonstersTheAnimation novelization]] never blames Ash for the trouble he created, and is generally a lot more humble.
* AdaptedOut: Of Creator/TakeshiShudo's novels. His role is instead filled by a generic bug catcher from the original games.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Owns a Metapod (giant cocoon) and Pinsir (giant beetle).
* BloodKnight: He seeks out trainers of Pallet Town to battle and admits enjoying losing to them because it motivates him to get stronger. His frustration with Ash is due to him not living up to his expectations.
* CanonImmigrant: The Samurai appears in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' as a Bug Catcher in Viridian Forest who explains how cool Metapod are.
* CoolHelmet: His samurai outfit wouldn't be complete without one of those...
* CoolSword: ...or one of these. [[SubvertedTrope But it's actually a toy]].
* FreeRangeChildren: Apparently lives in a cabin by himself.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Berates Ash for abandoning his Metapod when he was responsible for the whole mess by interrupting Ash's Weedle capture, and also considering Ash tried his hardest to get back the Metapod.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Repeatedly scolds and berates Ash but comes to respect him when he shows that he ''can'' be a competent Pokémon trainer, while even seeing himself as a novice compared to him.
* NeverMyFault: He accuses Ash of acting like this when Ash says it's his fault the Weedle got away and that he's the only one who should be blamed. Thing is, he's guilty of this attitude himself, since he pulled his (toy) sword on Ash to interrupt him even after Ash made it clear to him that he was busy.
* NoNameGiven: He's just called "Samurai".
* OneShotCharacter: The very first!
* SignatureMon: Though he has a Pinsir and Metapod on his team, he's mostly remembered for his Pinsir due to being a relatively strong Pokémon for Ash to battle (and fitting with the Samurai aesthetics) while Metapod did nothing but Harden during its battle against Ash's Metapod.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Interrupts Ash's capture of a Weedle for a Pokémon battle, which later escalates into a full-on Beedrill attack.
* VerbalTic: In the original, he ends every sentence with "de gozaru," which was common in ancient samurai speech.
* WhatTheHellHero: His counterpart in the novelization calls Ash out on his failure to save Metapod (which is here due to negligence, as the Beedrill swarm is a coincidence).
* WorthyOpponent: How he regards the other two Pallet trainers, Gary and eventually Ash.

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: His Sandshrew trains by swimming in a pool to help build its resistance to Water-type attacks.
* AnimeHair: It's very spiky.
* CanonImmigrant: A Youngster and his Sandshrew appear in ''Pokémon Yellow'' on the road to Rock Tunnel; defeating him prompts him to mention the need to restart their 100-win streak.
* CurbStompBattle His Sandshrew easily beats both Ash's Pidgeotto, and Ash's Butterfree, despite the fact that their Flying type are strong against Sandshrew.
** Later on, his Sandshrew also easily defeats the TerribleTrio's respective Pokémon, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Meowth]], even to the point that a single Fisure caused AJ to win by a forfeit.
* DishingOutDirt: Sandshrew happens to be his main partner, as well.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While his training methods are undeniably harsh, he genuinely cares about his Pokémon.
* KillerRabbit: His Sandshrew is small and cute, and its Fissure attack inflicts a OneHitKO by ''[[EarthquakesCauseFissures causing a small earthquake followed by a]] [[ShapedLikeItself fissure]]''.
* TheRival: To Ash, which is lampshaded by Brock by telling Ash that he's found another rival.
* SignatureMon: AJ has many Pokémon on his team, but it's his Sandshrew that he trains the most and has the most care for.
* TrainingFromHell: His style of Pokémon training. And it pays off, too.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: When pressed by his fellow students, he pretends to know less than he actually does so that their grilling won't be so unbearable.

----
* AcademicAlphaBitch: A quintessential example of the trope, as her bullying is solely related to how well one does in class.
* TheAce: She's the top student of the Beginner's class of Pokémon Tech (As according to her BadassBoast).
* BilingualBonus: Her name in the dub comes from the greek word meaning "Blessed".
* BrainyBrunette: She has dark brown hair and she's the top student in the Beginner's class.
* BreakTheHaughty: Ash defeating her was quite the slice of HumblePie.
* CanonImmigrant: Giselle appears in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' as a Junior Trainer north of Vermilion City. Notably, her game-self is dating Joe.
* 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.
** When Jessie, James and Meowth show up, she [[ZergRush leads]] ''[[ZergRush the entire beginners' class]]'' [[ZergRush against them]]. They don't even bother to take their Pokémon out, they just throw the Poké Balls at their heads. She even lampshades this CurbStompBattle by saying that "Bad guys don't play by the rules!".
* DefrostingIceQueen: After getting defeated by Ash, she becomes much nicer.
* DishingOutDirt: Her known Pokémon are Graveler and Cubone.
* DudeMagnet: She's quite popular despite her attitude, and even has the honor of being the first and possibly ''only'' female to actually attract [[ChasteHero Ash's]] attention. Not to mention it was the only time Brock showed interest in somebody who wasn't an [[LikesOlderWomen older woman]] (in the dub, in the Japanese version of the original series, Takeshi tends to imply JailbaitWait).
* {{Expy}}: Giselle's design is based on the generic Lass trainer-class of ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', but with a slightly fancier uniform and more glamorous stockings and hair.
* FatalFlaw: Giselle doesn't [[CripplingOverspecialization think outside the box]]. She is a 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.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** While she's overly harsh towards Joe, her criticisms of his overly rigid thinking is accurate, with Misty having already proved this by easily defeating Joe in spite of being at a type disadvantage.
** Giselle ends up coming to the conclusion that Ash most likely won his first two Badges by luck. While she had no way of actually knowing this, it is true that neither Badge was actually earned through battle, and Ash would ultimately end up obtaining ''half'' of his Kanto Badges through similar means. [[OldShame This would ultimately become a topic of embarrassment for Ash later on]].
* LovableAlphaBitch: She is constantly bullying the younger students at the academy, including Joe...somewhat. All of her bullying consists of supplying useful tips for trainers, but [[JerkassHasAPoint in the harshest and most back-handed possible way]].
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name read as Yūtō Seiyo actually means honor student. Fitting considering how she seems to be a stuck-up know-it-all.
* PetTheDog: Consoled her Cubone when it lost to Ash's Pikachu in a battle, telling it that it did a great job.
* ProudBeauty: "It's sad that others aren't blessed with my beauty".
* ScissorsCutsRock: Her Graveler easily beats Misty's Starmie despite having Rock-Type Pokémon being weak against Water-Type Pokémon. Ash later gives her a taste of her own medicine.
* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful: How Giselle gets away with being the queen bee of such an abusive student body.

->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/EduardoGarza
The original owner of Ash's Charmander.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** His counterpart in ''Pokémon Yellow'' isn't as much of an uncaring {{jerkass}} as he is in the anime, as he's fully aware that he's a lousy trainer and figures his Charmander deserves better.
** His counterpart in ''The Electric Tale of Pikachu'' is also far nicer; rather than abandon his Charmander on purpose, he got into an accident and was sent into a ten-day coma, with an oblivious Charmander waiting for him to come back. The two ended up happily reuniting later on.
* AmbitiousButLazy: Damian has no problem abandoning his Charmander for being too weak, but once he sees how strong it is after Ash, Misty, and Brock nursed it to health, he comes back for it and states that ''he is glad that he didn't have to train it.'' When Brock calls him out on this, Damien's "comeback" is that training Pokèmon is the boring part of being a trainer.
* CanonImmigrant: Damian appears in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'' as a trainer north of Cerulean City [[AdaptationalNiceGuy looking for someone to raise his Charmander better than he can]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Seen showing off his large collection of Poké Balls to his gang of friends... and then boasting about how he got rid of Charmander. His friends praise him in return, solidifying the fact that he has no passion in being a trainer and is [[ItsAllAboutMe only interested in validation]].
* EvilBrit: In the English dub, he speaks with a vaguely British accent and retains his extreme callousness.
* GreaterScopeVillain: His abuse of Charmander set the stage for its attitude problem, and all the trouble that it caused Ash, upon evolving.
* HateSink: The whole purpose of his character is to show that not all Pokémon trainers are good ones and can be terrible, in contrast to Ash's character.
* IWantMyMommy: Does this after Charmander (and Pikachu) roast him alive. [[DirtyCoward It's as cathartic and pathetic as it sounds]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Damian eventually did come back for Charmander, but only because he saw him as useful after all by that point.
* KickTheDog: He abandoned his Charmander and had no intention of going back to get it, and he didn't even care that Charmander would have died in the rain.
* LackOfEmpathy: Showed no empathy for the fact that Charmander could have died sitting on that rock waiting for him.
* LazyBum: He finds the ''training'' part of being a Pokémon trainer to be boring and simply desires Pokémon that are strong at the start so that [[SmallNameBigEgo he can win more battles and show off]].
* NeverMyFault: During the confrontation at the Pokémon Center, Damian tries to pick a fight with Ash, Misty, and Brock after they witness his pretentious and callous attitude. Nurse Joy intervenes, saying that Pokémon are not to be used in petty battles. Naturally, Damian blames the three of them before he and his gang storm out.
* ObviouslyEvil: His English name is ''[[Film/TheOmen DAMIAN]]'' for Pete's sake!
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in Charmander's debut episode, and is single-handedly responsible for his anger issues and attitude during evolution. [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal Constant abuse will do that to someone]].

----
* ArcVillain: Though technically different characters, they serve the same role as the villain mastermind who hired Team Rocket to cause trouble in these two consecutive episodes.
** Brutella in "Beauty and the Beach" is a rival restaurant owner who seeks to buy out Moe's business by using Team Rocket to both sabotage food service and later eliminate the Beauty Contest contestants to get the prize money and deny Moe any chance of clearing his debts.
** Nastina in "Tentacool and Tentacruel" is responsible for the Tentacool's habitat destruction to make way for her hotel as well as driving up a town frenzy to exterminate them when the Tentacool begin to retaliate.
* EvilOldFolks: They're both at least in their fifties and they serve as the BigBad in their appearances.
* EvilRedhead: They're both pretty rotten people.
* HumiliationConga: Nastina's construction is sabotaged, all the buildings she was constructing are demolished, she gets blasted with Horsea ink, and ultimately gets sent flying.
* MeaningfulName: Interestingly, Brutella's English name comes not from the word ''brute'', but from the Italian word ''brutta'', meaning "ugly." Nastina's name is based on just what we'd expect it to be, though.
* NeverMessWithGranny: A villainous example. Nastina took a ''shotgun'' to the Tentacruel attacking the city among other weapons that [[NoSell luckily didn't get edited out in the English Dub]]. [[GunsAreWorthless Not that it worked]].
* RichBitch: Nastina, who's a hotel manager.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: They're cousins, and aside from a slight color difference as well as differently-colored hair decs, they're virtually identical. This is even lampshaded by the TerribleTrio, whom they mistake Nastina for Brutella in the original.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Brutella; the episode she first appears in was initially skipped (being dubbed in the one-off edit which came much later in the anime's run after the questionable content was cut out). She gets a brief [[TheCameo cameo]] at the end of the following episode, though (which is her only appearance in subsequent airings).

** He sums the trope up best when he gives Brock advice when Hitmonlee gets the upper hand (or foot) on Geodude.
-->'''Anthony''': If you're a real man, you know when you have to admit defeat. Time to face facts. You can lose today and win tomorrow.

->'''Voiced by:''' Masami Toyoshima
A female Meowth who Meowth fell in love with. His love for her inspired him to walk and speak like a human, but she ditches him for a Persian in the end.
----
* AlphaBitch: If Meowth's flashbacks and translating are to be trusted, she's condescending, uptight and crushingly snide.
* BreakTheHaughty: Zigzagged. Getting thrown onto the streets took her down a peg, but she soon managed to leach off of other strays, and still looks down on Meowth.
* TheCameo: Though she never reappeared in person, her likeness was used odd times in Meowth's {{Imagine Spot}}s such as "Noodles Roamin Off".
* CatsAreMean: Her treatment of Meowth, the anime's key antagonist Pokémon, makes him look downright sympathetic.
* IdenticalStranger: In ''Journeys'' episode 95, Meowth falls in love with a female Meowth belonging to Butch that is almost identical to Meowzie, even invoking memories of her from him. While she is less callous than Meowzie, she follows the trend of being in love with a Persian, breaking Meowth's heart again.
* {{Irony}}: She initially looked down on Meowth for being an average stray. While Meowth worked himself into being one of the most remarkable Pokémon in the series ([[CutLexLuthorACheck and continues doing so]]), Meowzie got thrown out of her home and reduced to being a stray as she had called him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: After she loses her pampered life, she seems to be humbled and asks Meowth to help her gang. When he doesn't play ball however, she makes clear her heart was with Persian the whole time and she continues to label him a freak.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After looking down on Meowth for being a stray, she is released into the streets by her bankrupt owner.
* LovingAShadow: It's clear that Meowth's love for Meowize is based on an idealized version of her doesn't really exist as Meowize only cares about a pampered life of riches and hates "freaks". And since Meowth is neither rich nor likes to be called a freak, it motivates him to join Team Rocket to both become highly privileged (hoping to be Giovanni's top cat) and accepted for who he is.
* ManipulativeBitch: She tries to sweet talk Meowth into helping her gang. When he doesn't play along, however, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere she cuts the act and regains her cruel attitude]].
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Unlike the other Meowths in the series, she has distinguishing feminine eyes.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She supplies heart crushing ones to Meowth in each meeting.
* RichesToRags: After her master became bankrupt, she was left to fend for herself, getting taken in by Meowth's old gang.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She appeared personally in only one episode, mostly via flashback. She is pretty much the entire pivot for Team Rocket's Meowth gaining human sapience, however.

----
* TheAce: With the exception of Alain (who even then was still a competition winner for Kalos) the series final eight are all the Champions of at least one region.
* TheBusCameBack: All of them, aside from Leon, are characters Ash met in previous series.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Like Ash, they fought long and hard to achieve their ranks, but we don't get to see any of it onscreen. All we know is that one of them had to beat Flint, since he was in the top eight in episode 100, but by 109 he's lost his position.
* SignatureMon: A piece of artwork depicting the final chosen eight, each with one Pokémon representing them:
** Lance: Shiny Gyarados (as opposed to the games' Dragonite)
** Steven: Shiny Metagross
** Cynthia: Garchomp
** [[spoiler: Iris: Haxorus]]
** Diantha: Gardevoir
** [[spoiler: Alain]] & Leon: Charizard
** [[spoiler: Ash: Pikachu]]
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Leon, Cynthia, Steven, and Diantha are very strategic and methodical when they battle right from the start, very much being technicians. Lance, [[spoiler: Ash, Iris, and Alain]] are more improvisational and prefer to figure out what they'll do after seeing their opponents in action, making them more performers. [[spoiler: Coincidentally, the first round of the Masters' Tournament were all Performers vs Technicians.]]
* WorldsBestWarrior: They are recognised as the eight strongest trainers in the world [[note]]if the trainer chooses to participate in the Coronation Series of course, but then, anyone can register for it and there's no gym battle prerequisites to qualify.[[/note]] In the No.1 position, the very strongest is crowned Monarch. The tournament to challenge the World Champion is for those eight only. Anyone seeking an official battle for the title must advance into the Master Class before the end of the season, or find themselves LockedOutOfTheFight.

* HumanHammerThrow: The result of her Raichu grabbing Pikachu with its tail; though not referred to by any name, this could possibly be its execution of Seismic Toss- a potential type-coverage move that Raichu can learn in the games in which it's taught by a tutor or TM. Also unsuccessfully attempted on [[{{Intangibility}} Gengar]].
* OhCrap: Her Raichu gets this expression when Ash's Gengar dodges its Thunderbolt, and remains that way for much of the battle as it becomes increasingly clear just how [[CurbStompBattle thoroughly outclassed]] it is.
** She herself gets this expression when she learns that being defeated by Ash her rank is now lower and she will have to tell Lt. Surge when he comes back.
* ShockAndAwe: As the substitute gym leader she specializes in Electric types and is seen using Raichu and Electrode.
* TakingYouWithMe: Should her Electrode take enough damage, its ability Aftermath is triggered, resulting in an explosion meant to catch the opponent and knock them out with it.
* WorthyOpponent: Surge's word about Ash makes Visquez take Ash's reputation as a challenger on a high note.

----

* CurbStompBattle: Gives one to Farfetch'd in their first meeting. His Gallade is able to take it down in 2 hits while Farfetch'd is unable to even land one.
* {{Expy}}: To Tad from the Orange Islands. He battled Ash while he was dealing with an unruly Pokemon, sort of helping him reigning said Pokemon in, and then saying they'll have a rematch when Ash gets a better handle on the Pokemon. Unlike Tad however, he returns for a second episode.
** He can also be seen as a expy of Wally from ''Videogame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', albeit a slightly more jerkish expy, since both characters have similar hairstyles and hair colours and both use a Gallade as their ace.
* FlatCharacter: Appears to be tame compared to most of Ash's rival's. See SatelliteCharacter below.
* OhCrap: After Farfetch'd gets fully motivated by Ash and starts a come back, Rinto not only is visibly surprised, as his Gallade flinches and even ''shivers'' after being hit consecutively three times!
* PsychicPowers: Gallade is part Psychic-type and knows Psycho Cut.
* SatelliteCharacter: Serves no purpose other than to develop Ash's Farfetch'd. While most World Coronation Series contests have some understanding motive to be competing, Rinto only appears to be competing just for a rematch against Ash and being an opponent to get him out of the Great Class faster.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His first appearance and battle with Ash and Farfetch'd, short and swift it was, is what encourages Ash to try to get more in sync with it so they can battle better next time.
* StealthMentor: Apparently, tries to point what's wrong about Ash & Farfetch'd's team work, but, he spent a good part of the battle being dismissive and not actually telling the problem.
* WeWillMeetAgain: He promises Ash they will meet again for a proper battle once he and Farfetch'd improve their teamwork. He does nine episodes later.
