3	[[folder:Leaf and Her Team]]
4	!!Leaf (Aoi in English, Vera in French)
5
6	The main character of the story, who ends up being late to get her first Pokémon and has to settle for a Clefairy. The series centers on her Pokémon journey.
7
8	* CuteClumsyGirl: She isn't very balletic at all, and particularly in the first season, it shows.
9	%%* {{Determinator}}: Established as this in chapter 2 after losing her initial battle against Blue.
10	%%* LittleMissSnarker: She has her moments.
11	* PrecisionFStrike: In chapter 4, when telling Camper Liam to just get on with it:
12	-->'''Leaf''': Save your jive crap for Pokémon coordination!
13	* ShowgirlSkirt: She wears a Goldeen costume for her Gym battle against Misty in chapter 13.
14	* SpitTake: When she learns about the Gym in Pewter City.
15	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Misty's tomboy.
16	* WalkingSwimsuitScene: Per WordOfGod, she'll spend much of the Cerulean City arc wearing her swimsuit, which she already wears under her regular clothes anyway.
17	* WholeCostumeReference: Her regular outfit is exactly like the one she wears in the ''Pokémon Craft DX'' manga and other promotional materials relating to ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', and the Goldeen costume she wears in chapter 13 had previously appeared in "[[Recap/PokemonS1E43TheMarchOfTheExeggutorSquad The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]".
18
19	!!Clefairy (Ana)
20
21	Leaf's starter Pokémon. She grows to like her trainer.
22
23	* BadassAdorable: Despite being rather feminine, she can hold her own in a battle.
24	* CuteBruiser: Her base offensive attack is Pound.
25	* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: A warning sign that she's about to use Sing.
26	* MakingASplash: She knows Water Gun.

30	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Pikachu's tomboy.
31	* VerbalTic: "-pippi".
32
33	!!Pikachu (Lita in English and French, Makoto in Japanese)
34
35	An electric Pokémon who Leaf catches in Viridian City. Along with Clefairy, she stays out of her Poké Ball most of the time and instead prefers walking out in the open.
36
37	* ActionGirl: On par with Misty in that regard, even!
38	* BadassAdorable: She may look cute, but she's got electric attacks which by all rights should be ''downright lethal'' if this wasn't ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.
39	* BadassInANiceSuit: When taking on Misty's Pokémon in chapter 13.
40	* GratuitousFrench: She likes to remind people that "impossible n'est pas Français-pika" from time to time (for example, as her PreAssKickingOneLiner against Brock's Onix in chapter 4).
41	* PrecisionFStrike: In chapter 7, after encountering one Zubat too many, she echoes the sentiments of many a Red and Blue player:
42	-->'''Pikachu''': Arceus-damned Zubat!
43	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: As is par for the course for most portrayals of Pikachu.
44	* TheRival: To Spearow. No surprise, since Electric-types and Flying-types are traditionally enemies.
45	* RunningGag: Her feeling ticklish when it comes to Flying-type attacks such as Spearow's Peck.
46	-->'''Pikachu''': PI-KAHAHAHAHA! That tickles-pika!
47	* ShockAndAwe: As can be expected of any Electric-type.
48	* [[TalkingAnimal Talking Pokémon]]: Along with Clefairy, she's the first of Leaf's Pokémon to speak human language.

52	* VerbalTic: "-pika".
53	* WholeCostumeReference: In chapter 13, she wears the same tuxedo Ash's Pikachu wears in "The March of the Exeggutor Squad".
54
55	!!Spearow (Terminator in English and French, Zatoichi in Japanese)
56
57	A tough guy type who Leaf catches in Route 22. Easily irritable, and kind of a jerk most of the time.
58
59	* AnimeHair: He styles his hair like this.
60	* FeatheredFiend: Plays up this trait every chance he gets. Of particular note is chapter 3, when he's a bit ''too'' eager to battle the resident Bug-types in Viridian Forest.
61	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be belligerent towards his teammates, particularly Pikachu, and his fighting style may be overly aggressive, but at the end of the day, he cares very much about the whole team.
62	* TheRival: To Pikachu. No surprise, since Electric-types and Flying-types are traditionally enemies.
63	* [[TalkingAnimal Talking Pokémon]]: Like some of Leaf's Pokémon.
64	* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed, but he's definitely more bloodthirsty than anyone else on his team.
65	* VerbalTic: "-suzu".
66	%%* WindFromBeneathMyWings
67	[[/folder]]
68
69	[[folder:Allies]]
70	!!Red (Aka in Japanese, Ross in French)
71
72	Another new Pokémon trainer going on a journey of his own. He and Leaf cross paths on multiple occasions.
73
74	* AdaptedOut: Downplayed and, oddly enough, inverted considering the circumstances. As Red never appears in the games when Leaf is the player character, and as Leaf is the main character of this story, he's reduced to a supporting role compared to his role in ''Anime/PokemonOrigins''.
75	* FriendlyRival: To Leaf, who he sometimes mentors and sometimes battles to test her skills.
76	* PlayingWithFire: His Starter is a Charmander.
77
78	!!Professor Samuel Oak (Yukinari Orchid in Japanese, Samuel Chen in French)
79
80	The enigmatic yet kindly Pokémon Professor who gives Leaf, Red, and Blue their starter Pokémon.
81
82	* AbsentMindedProfessor: Has shades of this.
83	* CoolOldGuy
84	* MissionControl: To Leaf, Red, and his grandson Blue.
85	* NiceGuy: In keeping with official characterizations of him.
86
87	!!Nurse Joy
88
89	Any in a huge family of nurses and Pokémon Inspectors.
90
91	* FriendToAllLivingThings: As can be expected of anyone of her profession.
92	* GadgeteerGenius: The Viridian-based Nurse Joy is known to be good with technology.
93	* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: As is par for the course.
94	* TheMedic
95	* ProperTightsWithASkirt
96	* RoseHairedSweetie
97	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Officer Jenny's tomboy.
98	* YamatoNadeshiko
99
100	!!Officer Jenny (Junsa in Japanese)
101
102	Any in a huge family of policewomen.
103
104	* ActionGirl: Considering she's a police officer...
105	* BadassInANiceSuit: One of them wears a pantsuit to the S.S. Anne party.
106	* FairCop
107	* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: As can be expected of them.
108	* PoliceAreUseless: Averted. When the Cerulean-based Officer Jenny finally lets Leaf enter the burglarized house, she's seen bringing in the ringleader of a Rocket recruitment scheme disguised as a Nugget Bridge challenge.
109	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She exercises her powers to the best of her capabilities and limits anywhere you can find her.
110	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Nurse Joy's girly girl.
111
112	!!Gym Guide Clyde (Gaidoh in Japanese, Guido in French)
113
114	Any in a not-quite-so-huge family of advice givers, most of whom can be found in the Gyms.
115
116	* CloudCuckoolander: He can be quite strange sometimes.
117	* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Which can be seen in the lobby of most Gyms.
118
119	!!Looker (Handsome in Japanese, Beladonis in French)
120
121	An agent for the Global Police who Leaf first meets during a party on the S.S. Anne. He's on the hunt for Team Rocket.
122
123	* PoliceAreUseless: Averted, if his appearances stay true to his character in the games as a very active police officer.
124	[[/folder]]
125
126	[[folder:Gym Leaders]]
127	!!Brock Harrison (Takeshi Iwamoto in Japanese, Pierre Roquefort in French)
128
129	The Pewter Gym Leader, who Leaf battles for the Boulder Badge. He makes a few appearances afterwards.
130
131	* DishingOutDirt: Being a Rock-type specialist. He later expands his horizons, beginning with a Zubat he captures while digging for fossils on Mt. Moon.
132	* EarlyBirdCameo: Before he's revealed to be the Pewter Gym Leader, he gives Leaf some advice on how to raise her Pokémon.
133	* EyesAlwaysShut: As is typical of him.
134	* HoldYourHippogriffs: Retells an Aesop fable as "The Murkrow and the Pitcher".
135	* ThisCannotBe: Briefly stunned by Pikachu attempting to finish off his Onix with an Electric attack during the Gym Battle in episode 4.
136	* WalkingShirtlessScene: During Leaf's Gym Battle against him.
137
138	!!Misty Waterflower (Kasumi Mizuno in Japanese, Ondine Ste. Marie in French)
139
140	The Cerulean Gym Leader, who Leaf battles for the Cascade Badge. The youngest of four sisters, she inherited the Gym from her deceased father and is the most feared individual in Cerulean City, though she can be quite nice if you don't get on her bad side.
141
142	* ActionGirl: The biggest one among the female Kanto Gym Leaders.
143	* AdaptationalModesty: She didn't wear pantyhose with her regular outfit, itself an example of this, in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''.
144	* BerserkButton: Don't even think about assuming that just because she's a [[ScoutOut Squirtle Scout]] she goes door-to-door selling girl scout cookies. She in fact considers that to be an offensive stereotype of girl scout culture as a whole.
145	* BoyishShortHair: Tied in a TomboyishPonytail.
146	* DisappearedDad: Her father was murdered by a Team Rocket grunt, and a subplot of the first and second seasons shows her trying to avenge him on the one that did the deed.
147	* EarlyBirdCameo: In chapter 9, within a newspaper article on Team Rocket's attack on Cerulean City, during which she recounts her most recent personal encounter with Team Rocket.
148	* EvilLaugh: During the climactic battle between her Starmie and Leaf's Pikachu in chapter 13, as she points out how the latter's Thunderbolt barely did any real damage to her Starmie.
149	* FamedInStory: In her first battle as a Gym Leader, an exhibition match, she beat her idol Lorelei, who is a stronger Pokémon trainer, which earned her a reputation as one not to be trifled with, to the point where even Team Rocket is afraid of her.
150	* FieryRedhead: Ironic considering she's a Water-type specialist.
151	* InsultBackfire: At times, she's been known to take insults in stride. For example, in chapter 10:
152	-->'''Leaf''': What kind of idiot would wear pantyhose when swimming?\
153	'''Misty''': The kind of idiot that likes her clothes waterproof.
154	* {{Irony}}: She's the least interested in the performing arts out of all the females in her family, and yet she knows some ballet, even earning a merit patch following a recent monthly skills test, and has learned a few parlor tricks from her older sister Lily.
155	* LittleMissBadass: There's a reason she made history as the youngest Gym Leader to date, being inaugurated some weeks before her 10th birthday.
156	* MakingASplash: She's a Water-type specialist, what did you expect?
157	* NoodleIncident: She once tangled with Mewtwo when Team Rocket used one of her friends as bait in an attempt to indirectly get rid of her.
158	* NoseBleed: After some innuendo from Lass Ali in chapter 11 during the Nugget Bridge challenge.
159	-->'''Misty''': I wouldn't put it past those boys to say something that can be interpreted as naughty, but that really knocked the stuffing out of me!
160	* OneGenderSchool: She's a student at Riverside Private School for Girls.
161	* PinkMeansFeminine: WordOfGod is that pink is her theme color.
162	* PrecisionFStrike: In her EarlyBirdCameo, she refers to Cerulean Cave as a "hellhole".
163	* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Downplayed. She's seen in casual clothes frequently enough (particularly her regular outfit) when not participating in regular Squirtle Scout activities, but for occasions such as the S.S. Anne party, you can expect her to show up wearing her Squirtle Scout uniform, which is implied (and later outright confirmed) early on to ''be'' her school uniform.
164	* ScoutOut: She's a Squirtle Scout.
165	%%* {{Shorttank}}: As is par for the course.
166	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Leaf's girly girl.
167	%%* TomboyishBaseballCap: When in uniform.
168	* TomboyishPonytail: As usual, her hair is normally styled like this.
169	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's ironically more graceful and balletic than Leaf (to the point where she has a [[MeritBadgesForEverything Dancing Merit Patch]]--it helps that she's been having ballet lessons ever since she joined the Squirtle Scouts), and in fact when we're introduced to her one episode after her EarlyBirdCameo, she's practicing gymnastics just outside of Cerulean Gym. In addition, she happens to enjoy ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', though it's more a product of being a '90s girl than anything (per WordOfGod, the series was still being broadcast, and the comics still being written, at the time ''Clefairy Tales'' takes place).
170	* TrueBlueFemininity: As with other Squirtle Scouts, she wears a blue uniform.
171	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: As is her anime counterpart, she's an entomophobic. However, she does agree with Erika that Butterfree is pretty, for a Bug-type.
172	* YouKilledMyFather: Spoken to the plainclothes Rocket in chapter 11. But then, she was just taking her anger out on Team Rocket as a whole simply because ''someone'' in their ranks did the deed.
173
174	!!Lt. Mathias Surge (Major Bob Tesla in French)
175
176	The Vermilion Gym Leader, who Leaf battles for the Thunder Badge. He's an Army veteran who was originally from Unova.
177
178	* HeCleansUpNicely: He wears his old military dress uniform for the S.S. Anne party, complete with the obligatory silver bar and gold epaulettes.
179	* ShockAndAwe: Being an Electric-type specialist. In fact, as in the games, when he was fighting in the Middle East, his Pokémon saved his life on numerous occasions by electrocuting his foes.
180
181	!!Erika [=LaFleur=] (Erika Sakura in Japanese)
182
183	The Celadon Gym Leader, who Leaf battles for the Rainbow Badge.
184
185	* AmbiguouslyLesbian: As is par for the course with {{fanon}} regarding the character being an alleged LipstickLesbian.
186	* {{Ballet}}: She's the prima ballerina in her class at Celadon Ballet Academy.
187	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Along with other Gym Leaders on the year-long world tour on the S.S. Anne, she introduces herself to the partygoers by showing off her best Pokémon... and she does so in a graceful fashion.
188	* GreenThumb: Being a Grass-type specialist.
189	* NobleBigot: She retains her shades of this from the original games, but here she also gives a pass to those who can learn Grass-type moves, including Butterfree, which she describes during the S.S. Anne party as "the prettiest Bug-type you'll ever meet", a sentiment with which Misty, a known entomophobic, agrees.
190	* TrueBlueFemininity: WordOfGod is that blue is her theme color, and she even wears a blue dress to the S.S. Anne party.
191	* WholeCostumeReference: She wears Cinderella's butterfly-themed ballgown from [[Film/{{Cinderella 2015}} Disney's 2015 film adaptation]] to the S.S. Anne party. [[HilariousInHindsight In-universe, she mentions having gotten the idea for the dress from watching Disney's animated adaptation while designing a Butterfree-themed perfume.]]
192
193	!!Koga Fujita (Kyou Fujita in Japanese)
194
195	The Fuchsia Gym Leader, who Leaf battles for the Marsh Badge.
196
197	* HeCleansUpNicely: During the S.S. Anne party, fellow Gym Leader Sabrina remarks on how he looks rather dashing in a tuxedo.
198
199	!!Sabrina D'Avalon (Natsume Hyouka in Japanese, Morgane Avalon in French)
200
201	The Saffron Gym Leader, who Leaf battles for the Soul Badge.
202
203	* EarlyBirdCameo: In the first season finale, during the second season teaser, when she uses her telepathy to alert the rest of Saffron City to [[SequelHook Team Rocket's invasion]].
204	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Appears in TheStinger at the end of the first season for a SequelHook promising that the second season will include the Silph Co. campaign from the original games.
205
206	!!Blaine Augustus Nashton (Katsura Hino in Japanese, Auguste Jules Cramer in French)
207
208	The Cinnabar Gym Leader, who Leaf battles for the Volcano Badge.
209

217
218	* DarkIsEvil: They wear black bosozoku-style uniforms.
219	* EvilBrit: At least one grunt is depicted as speaking with a Cockney accent [[FunetikAksent rendered phonetically]]; Leaf even calls him a limey after defeating him.

221	[[/folder]]
222
223	[[folder:Other]]
224	!!Blue Oak (Midori Orchid in Japanese, Bleu Chen in French)

226	* TheRival: A straighter example.
227
228	!!Sakura Waterflower (Sakura Mizuno in Japanese, Sakura Ste. Marie in French)
229
230	* DubNameChange: Averted due to the OneSteveLimit (Blue Oak already has an older sister named Daisy).

239
240	!!Lily Waterflower (Botan Mizuno in Japanese, Lillian Ste. Marie in French)
241
242	* ColdHam: Much more subdued than her sister, but when she does her magic shows, she shows just how hammy she can be when the situation calls for it.
243	per WordOfGod.
244	* PinkMeansFeminine: She has pink hair and often wears pink tights.
245	* ShowgirlSkirt: She wears a Goldeen costume when performing as a StageMagician.
246	* SilenceIsGolden: Demonstrates this during her magic shows.
247	-->''She was so good at her magic act, she didn't need to say anything to demonstrate her proficiency as a magician, whether she was doing such simple tricks as pulling a rabbit out of a hat or summoning lily petals apparently out of nowhere or escaping from a full tank of water, Houdini-style.''
248	* StageMagician: Her chief talent as a performer.
249
250	!!Youngster Edison
251
252	* {{Expy}}: Of Joey, who happens to be his cousin.
253
254	!!Youngster Colton (Hisashi in Japanese, Piotr in French)
255

259
260	* RealMenWearPink: He's a cheerleader.

280	!!Super Nerd Miguel (Mitsuharu in Japanese, Michel in French)
281
282	* BerserkButton: Don't even think about stealing his fossils.
283	* ProperlyParanoid: He mistakes Leaf for a plainclothes Rocket, and those who took the Nugget Bridge challenge in ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' should know that there ''is'' such a thing.

285	!!Picnicker Diana (Kozue in Japanese, Diane in French)
286
