3[[folder: Main Characters]]
4!!Red
5%% * AuthorAvatar
6%% * CurbStompBattle: Hilariously delivers one to Brock.
7* ElementalPowers: Not him, but the Pokemon he owns:
8** PlayingWithFire: Charmander, the fire-type.
9** BlowYouAway: Pidgey and Zubat's secondary typing, flying-type.
10** [[PoisonousPerson Poisonous Pokémon]]: Zubat's primary type is poison.
11** NonElemental: Clefairy the normal type [[note]]Until [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Generation 6, when it becomes Fairy]][[/note]], and Pidgey's primary typing is also normal.
12* EmbarrassingFirstName: Not him, but his Pidgey, which his Pokédex suggests nicknaming "Butts".
13** [[IncrediblyLamePun "Butts used Gust!"]]
14* {{Jerkass}}:
15** PlayedForLaughs, he names his rival Douche, then again, [[JerkassHasAPoint Blue isn't a nice guy himself]].
16** He later beats up a trainer who is being a perfectly good sport over losing, just to acquire 430 Pokémon Dollars.
17%% * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In ''spades''.
18* TheLoad: Despite Clefairy wanting to come with him, it only attacked ONCE and the other two times, ignored Red's orders in favor of using Metronome.
19%% * OnlySaneMan: Given the other characters...
20* SilentProtagonist: Like in canon, Red never says a word that we can hear. [[FistOfRage Not]] [[HellYesMoment that]] [[NoJustNoReaction he]] [[TwitchyEye needs]] to. If needed, the Pokedex provides dialogue or exposition.
21%% * SilentSnarker
22%% * ThePowerOfFriendship: What inspired Clefairy to come with him. Not that it wants to listen to his orders, though...
23
24!!Blue / Douche
25* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Was one step ahead of Red in the past, and ''thinks'' he still is.

27* CatchPhrase: "Smell ya later!"
28* EmbarrassingNickname: "Douche", [[HelloInsertNameHere Courtesy of Red.]]
29* {{Jerkass}}: He insults his Squirtle to the point where it throws up to use Water Gun in an attempt to please him.
30* JerkassHasAPoint: Pointed out that sending two kids to collect Pokémon is dangerous and later tells Red it's clear he's not directing any of their rematch due to [[TheLoad Clefairy]] actively ignoring Red's orders in favor of using Metronome, so he's leaving until Red gets his act together.
31* MaliciousMisnaming: The name's ''Blue'', not ''Douche''.
32* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Gets '''way''' too close to Red on [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=67 occasion...]]
33* StalkerWithACrush: Blue shows signs of this when he comes back to take his CatchPhrase [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=17 literally]].
34* TheRival: To Red.
35* UsedToBeASweetKid: Unlike in the canon games, this is averted. Flashbacks show him as being just as much of a prick as a child as he is now.
36
37!!Green
38%% * TheAggressiveDrugDealer: To her ''Bulbasaur'' of all things.

59* EyesAlwaysShut:
60--> "I know what you're thinking. I've been training here a while and in ten thousand light-years ... [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=24 I've never seen him open those eyes]]."
61** Later averted in [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=34 this strip]] when his Onix gets '[[CurbStompBattle rock blocked]]'.
62%% * InnocentInnuendo: He wants to go with Red on his journey and breed.
63* LeaningOnTheFourthWall:
64--> "Gen III bullcrap."
65* ObliviousMockery: Brock, while standing next to Red, who just happens to have chosen fire:

68* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Sees Green's Ivysaur and throws her the badge in frustration.

79* FailedAttemptAtDrama:
80--> "''[Team Rocket is a]n international crime syndicate with virtualy limitless resources, ''far'' reaching influence and untold ''power''. ''You'' want to pick a fight with ''us''? ''PREPARE FOR TROUBLE.'' [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=57 Go Zubat! He's level eleven.]]"
81* ShoutOut: One of them tells Red to "Prepare For Trouble!", like in the anime.
82%% * [[StupidCrooks Stupid Grunts]]
83
84[[/folder]]
85
86[[folder: Side Characters]]
87
88!!Professor Oak
89* AbsentMindedProfessor: He's forgotten his own grandson's name until Red [[HelloInsertNameHere 'reminds']] him...
90%% * CloudCuckooLander: In ''spades''.
91* EveryoneHasStandards: The old coot's willing to put his grandson and a local child in danger to go find 150 Pokemon, but even ''he's'' not into children as he reprimands an aide of his for being interested in [[FilleFatale Green]].
92%% * PrecisionFStrike
93%% * TheProfessor
94* {{Troll}}: To elaborate:
95--> '''Douche''': "Every Pokemon? [[CallingTheOldManOut Are you serious?]] You're sending us KIDS out into the world to find EVERY Pokemon? You don't see ANYTHING dangerously irresponsible about this?"

103* {{Troll}}: About as much as Oak. Gives ridiculous suggestions for Pokemon nicknames. Upon Red catching a Pidgey:
104-->'''Dex:''' Oooh, I know. Call it "BUTTS"! BUTTS used GUST! Haha...classic.
105
106!!Nurse Joy
107* {{Emoticon}}: Nurse Joy's facial expression exhibits traces of the [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/awesome-face-epic-smiley "Awesome Smiley"]] on [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=38 this page]].
108
109!!Slowpoke News
110%% * DelayedReaction
111* LateToTheRealization: The Slowpoke News will report on subjects that happened over anywhere between half a year and 3 DECADES earlier. Somehow, its [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=53 2nd installment]] also managed to combine this trope with DudeNotFunny...
112* ThisJustIn: As delivered by Slowpoke whenever a famous person dies, utilizing DelayedReaction.

131%% %% * SeniorSleepCycle
132* GrumpyOldMan
133
134!!Shorts Boy
135* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Tries to tell Green she's cute. He instead [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=59 spouts his infamous line]], causing his own FacePalm.
