[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/samurai_4.png]]

->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Yukiji
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/JimmyZoppi
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/IrwinDaayan
->'''Voiced in European French by:''' Nessym Guetat

----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: His replacement from the Takeshi Shudo-authored [[LightNovel/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).
* 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 he was busy.
* NoNameGiven: He's just called "Samurai".
* OneShotCharacter: The very first!
* 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.

----
* CloudCuckoolander: Ever since he was a boy he believed that Pokémon came from outer space.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of the Clefairy.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His voice sounds similar to that of Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud.
* RhymesOnADime: Misty even lampshades this by saying that "He dosen't certanly look like the poetic type." in the English Dub

[[/folder]][[folder:'''AJ (Akira)''']]

->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/NobuyukiHiyama

->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/BenjaminRivera

----
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: His Sandshrew trains by swimming in a pool to help build its resistance to Water-type attacks.
* AnimeHair: It's very spiky.
* TheCameo: A Jr. Trainer 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.
* 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]]''.
* MulticoloredHair: Green in the front, black in the back.
* TheRival: To Ash, which is lampshaded by Brock by telling Ash that he's found another rival.
* TrainingFromHell: His style of Pokémon training. And it pays off, too.
* WhipItGood: Uses a whip while training his Pokémon.

->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Uraz Huerta
----
* 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.

[[/folder]][[folder:'''Giselle (Seiyo Yūtō)''']]
[[quoteright:345:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/giselle_0.png]]

->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/YumiTouma
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Annie Pondel
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by''': Ana Lucía Ramos

----
* 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".
* BreakTheHaughty: Ash defeating her was quite the slice of HumblePie.
* 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 UpToEleven when Jessie, James and Meowth show up and she [[ZergRush leads]] ''[[ZergRush the entire beginners' class]]'' [[ZergRush against them]]''. They didn't even bother 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!".
* 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).
* 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.

->'''Voiced in English by:''' Tara Jayne

----
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Runs her own hidden Pokémon sanctuary.
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name simply means "green", reflecting how she lives in the forest alongside the Pokémon she takes care of.

[[/folder]][[folder:'''Damian (Daisuke)''']]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/damien_2.jpg]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/HikaruMidorikawa
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/MaddieBlaustein (4Kids), Eli James (BW116, flashback)
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/EduardoGarza

----
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** His counterpart in ''Pokémon Yellow'' isn't as much of an uncaring jerkass as he is in the anime, as he actively knows 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.
* 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, it even went out of its way by showing what a bastard he was.
* 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.]]
* {{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).
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Damian does come back for Charmander, but only because he sees him as useful.
* 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. [[RealityEnsues Constant abuse will do that to someone.]]

[[/folder]][[folder:'''Moe (Ryū)''']]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moe_78.png]]

->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Kōichi Kitamura

----
* CoolOldGuy: To an extent, even after his restaurant becomes a success.
* DirtyOldMan: Made explicitly so in the original Japanese ("I look forward to you in eight years!"); downplayed in the English dub ("You remind me of my granddaughter!").

[[caption-width-right:350:Nastina]]

->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Chika Sakamoto
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Kayzie Rogers
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by''': Rommy Mendoza
----
* BigBad: Nastina is this in "Tentacool and Tentacruel."
* 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: 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 [[GagBoobs 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).

->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Michiko Neya
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/MeganHollingshead
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Jacqueline Castañeda
----
* DudeMagnet: She puts a spell on the local men to make them infatuated with her, so she can eventually steal them away. [[spoiler: Except it's not actually her that's doing this, but a Gastly who masquerades as her spirit in order to keep her legend alive, and a old lady who not only forshadows their predicament, but is also a cashier.]]
* {{Gonk}}: The old lady.
* IWillWaitForYou: Her backstory - the man she was in love with was sent to war, and she spent her days waiting on the peak for his return - even when the days turned to years.
** TakenForGranite: Her eventual fate.
* RealAfterAll: She really does haunt Maiden's Peak. [[spoiler:Gastly was just keeping her legend alive by making it seem more spectacular than it really was.]]

->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Víctor Delgado

----
* GracefulLoser: For his competitiveness, he knows whenever it's best to throw in the towel (both figuratively and literally).
** 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.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: He is so obsessed with winning the P1 Grand Prix with his Hitmonchan that he completely neglects his daughter Rebecca. He soon realizes what's important.

----
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Realizing that not only was the dam was getting in the way and that he a victim of circumstance when he was building the dam, he decides to abandon the project and leave the forest alone.
* NiceHat: Wears a construction helmet, naturally.
* UnstoppableRage: Throughout the episode, he is mainly characterized by his hatred of the Diglett who are messing up his plans to build the Gaiva Dam.

[[/folder]][[folder:'''Meowzie''']]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meowzie.png]]

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.
* {{Irony}}: 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.
* ManipulativeBitch: 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: 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.
* SpoiledBrat: Meowth never figured she was more interested in being lavished by her owner than having a one of a kind man.

* {{Hypocrite}}: When Ash beats Dario to the finish line, Dario has the nerve to call ''him'' the cheater.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's not above cheating in order to win - or hiring someone to sabotage his opponents (mainly Jessie, James and Meowth).
* MultipleHeadCase: His Dodrio has three heads, which causes problems during the "chow down" portion of the race when they end up fighting over who gets to eat first.

* NoNameGiven: They're just called "Papa" and "Mama", and even refer to themselves as such.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Tommy's father sports a very odd appearance with SkintoneSclerae (before [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Cilan]], even), a small, bulbous nose, a paintbrush mustache and swirly markings under his eyes.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Tommy's mother looks normal, while his father looks...very odd, to say the least.
