Galar - The Champion (E1)
Leon (ダンデ | Dande)
Leon standing in the center of the Stadium.
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (Japanese), Aleks Le (English), Xander Gallois (Dutch), Felix Auer (German), Mattia Bressan (Italian), Alejandro Orozco (Latin American Spanish)
The Galar champion of the Pokémon League, the older brother of Hop, and tries to stop Eternatus from wrecking havoc on Galar during its second Darkest Day.
- Adaptational Badass: In Sword and Shield, we never actually see Leon battling Eternatus, and when Leon attempts to catch it it's clearly still alive and kicking, causing many fans to mock him for trying to catch an Eldritch Abomination with a standard Poké Ball. Here, we actually get to see Leon having fought Eternatus with his Aegislash and his Charizard, the latter of which hits Eternatus with a direct shot from a Fire Blast that downs it, making using a regular Poké Ball somewhat more justifiable.
- Adaptational Curves: In the games, Leon has a lean build but is otherwise a fairly average-looking young man. In Evolutions, he looks significantly more buff and older.
- Hero of Another Story: The episode shows the battle against Eternatus and its aftermath from Leon's perspective, showing how his failure to defeat it psychologically affected him.
- Heroic BSoD: Leon spends the majority of the episode mulling over his disastrous performance against Eternatus until Victor and Hop arrived to defeat it, and it's rather obvious that he can't bring himself to feel better as he prepares to fight Victor in the final match. Luckily his Charizard is able to help.
- My Greatest Failure: Leon goes through a very long depression after failing to capture Eternatus and weakly watching Victor and Hop doing all the work. Though Charizard helps him a bit, Leon is clearly still hurting and can't bring himself to smile when facing Victor.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: While preparing for his final battle against Victor, Leon is shown to be suffering from 'PTSD' from the events of the battle against Eternatus.
- Stepford Smiler: He grew into this when Victor caught Eternatus. He is still clearly distraught after the battle, yet keeps a smile on his face for the crowd.
- Taking the Bullet: The explosion that occurs when Eternatus breaks out of Leon's Poké Ball is far more violent than in the games; while Leon sends Charizard to protect Victor and Hop, Leon takes the full brunt of the blast and is very nearly knocked unconscious from the sheer force. He's just barely awake enough to watch Victor and Hop fight and defeat Eternatus with Zacian and Zamazenta's help.
Leon's Charizard (リザードン | Lizardon)
Leon's Charizard engaging Eternatus.
The Flame Pokémon, the primary partner of Leon and assists in defeating Eternatus.
- Art-Style Clash: Compared to the rest of the Pokémon, it has a much more detailed look.
- Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Leon's Charizard performs a non-violent version of this after Leon's spent the majority of the episode stewing in his defeat against Eternatus.
- Human Shield: It opts to shield Hop and Victor from Eternatus breaking out of its Pokéball. It protects the two due to the tremendous force Eternatus uses.
Victor (マサル | Masaru)
Victor, arriving at Leon's battle with Eternatus.
Voiced by: Kohsuke Tanabe (Japanese), Aleks Le (English), Miguel Ángel Leal (Latin American Spanish)
The playable male character in the Generation 8 games, and fights alongside Hop, Zacian, and Zamazenta against Eternatus.
- Ambiguously Brown: Has a darker skin tone than his default art, though still not quite as dark as Hop and Leon. This is a first for a main character as usually they're shown in animated form with their default skin tone.
- Mundane Utility: Calls upon his Inteleon to pick him up and glide him over to the spot where he caught Eternatus, even though it wasn't that far from him.
- Red Is Heroic: Still wears his default clothing during the final battle.
- Starter Mon: In this continuity, he picked Sobble as his starter, which evolved into an Inteleon.
Hop (ホップ)
Hop, cheering.
Voiced by: Miyu Irino (JP), Adriel Varlack (EN), Bauke van Boheemen (Dutch), Max Schira (German), Richard Benitez (Italian), Emilio Treviño (Latin American Spanish)
The player's rival, and younger brother of Leon, who strives to be like him one day.
- The Rival: He's still Victor's rival, but is overall nice.
- Starter Mon: His fully evolved Wooloo is involved in the fight against Eternatus.
Zacian (ザシアン) and Zamazenta (ザマゼンタ)
The Warrior Pokémons, the Crowned Sword (Zacian), the Crowned Shield (Zamazenta), the Hero duo, and responsible for protecting Galar.
- Big Good: Is a major factor in weakening Eternatus, alongside Victor, and Hop.
- Blue Is Heroic: Zacian has a blue color scheme, and a key part of maintaining Galar's safety alongside Zamazenta.
- Red Is Heroic: Zamazenta has a red color scheme, and a key part of maintaining Galar's safety alongside Zacian.
Eternatus (ムゲンダイナ | Mugendina)
Eternatus in its frenzied state.
Eternatus in its Eternamax form.
The Gigantic Pokémon, the force responsible for the first Darkest Day in Galar, and controlled by Macro Cosmos, inadvertently creating the second Darkest Day.
- Eldritch Abomination: Eternatus' design just looks... wrong and uncanny, just like the Ultra Beasts.
- Olympus Mons: A legendary Pokémon with alien abilities and immense energy.
Alola - The Eclipse (E2)
Lillie (リーリエ | Lilie)
Lillie in Aether Paradise.
Voiced by: Ai Kayano (JP), Amanda Lee (EN)
An ally of the main character in the Generation 7 games, the daughter of Lusamine, and the caretaker of Nebby.
- The Determinator: She will not give up on saving either her mom or Nebby.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: A blond girl with a kind heart.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: From the looks of it, she's this with Selene.
- Nice Girl: A pure-hearted girl who's willing to fight for what she believes in.
Nebby (ほしぐもちゃん | Hoshigumo-chan)
Nebby as a Cosmog, attacked by a Spearow.
Nebby as a Cosmoem, carried by Lillie.
Nebby as a Lunala, consoling Lillie.
Voiced by: Hina Natsume (Cosmog), Yukiko Motoyoshi (Lunala)
A Cosmog (コスモッグ) that receives care from Lillie. It eventually evolves into a Cosmoem (コスモウム | Cosmovum), and finally, a Lunala (ルナアーラ).
- Adaptational Badass: While it still loses, Nebby puts up a much better fight against Necrozma than it did in the game, managing to land several solid hits on the Prism Pokémon.
- Bat Out of Hell: Initially downplayed, then played straight. Lunala is a giant, spectral bat, but is overall a benevolent deity. Becomes a straighter example when Necrozma assimilates it.
- Doomed by Canon: Being from the Generation 7 games, its fusion with Necrozma was unfortunately inevitable.
- Lunacy: A Physical God associated with the moon.
- Olympus Mons: A godlike being of the moon.
- Power Floats: All of its forms constantly levitate. This may explain why Lillie's able to carry its Cosmoem form despite its heft.
Lusamine (ルザミーネ)
Voiced by: Mie Sonozaki (JP), Dawn M. Bennett (EN)
Lusamine, talking to Lillie at Aether Paradise.
The president of the Aether Foundation, Lillie's mother, and associates with Guzma to stop Necrozma.
- Abusive Parents: Openly disowns and speaks lowly of her own children. Still, Lillie is determined to save her.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Immediately warns Lillie and Selene to flee and save themselves when Necrozma arrives, knowing the full danger of what the Prism Pokémon represents.
- Irony: The short begins on her words to Lillie demeaning her being totally helpless to do anything of significance, and how "children would be better off listening to the grown-ups." The same short ends with Lusamine herself down in a helpless position whereas Lillie, her child, is standing tall, bravely ready to do something to fight against Necrozma despite the odds being against her.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Plans to "save" Necrozma in a manner that ends up harming Nebby and warps the fabric of space. She regrets it greatly.
Necrozma (ネクロズマ)
Necrozma, hovering menacingly.
Necrozma in its Dawn Wings form after absorbing Nebby.
Voiced by: Shogo Sakata
The Prism Pokémon, completely drained of light.
- Big Bad: Of "The Eclipse".
- Eldritch Abomination: An otherworldly monster from another dimension that feeds on light.
- Fusion Dance: Forcibly does this to Nebby, becoming Dawn Wings Necrozma.
- No-Sell: It takes a direct hit from Moongeist Beam, Nebby's most powerful attack, and is supposed to be super-effective against it, but Necrozma doesn't even flinch, likely due to its Prism Armor ability.
Kalos - The Visionary (E3)
Lysandre (フラダリ | Fuladari)
Lysandre, preparing to activate the Ultimate Weapon.
Voiced by: Takaya Hashi (JP), Adin Rudd (EN)
The respected owner of Lysandre Labs, the inventor of the Holo Caster, the boss of Team Flare, and seeks to use the Ultimate Weapon to create a 'better world'.- Big Bad: Of "The Visionary".
- Despair Event Horizon: Crossed it before when becoming the boss of Team Flare, but crosses further into it after Xerneas and Calem foils his plans.
- Taking You with Me: He intends on making himself, Calem, Serena, and Shauna immortal when all of his plans fails.
- Tragic Villain: The end of the short reveals that there was a time where he used to believe that the future was not determined with absolute certainty and that there was always plenty of opportunities to make a better tomorrow without succumbing to despair-induced extremism. In his obsessive concern for what could end up happening to the natural beauty of the Kalos region and the rest of the world, he lost sight of that and it led to his own self destruction.
- Villainous Breakdown: Does not take his defeat at the hand's of Calem well. Screaming and throwing his Flare visor on the ground in frustration.
- Villain Protagonist: His character is the main focus of "The Visionary", right up to the title.
Calem (カルム| Calme)
Calem, left of Xerneas.
The male protagonist of the Generation 6 games, and Selena's rival.- The Faceless: His face isn't shown in the episode, usually covered by his hand.
- Olympus Mons: With Xerneas being by his side, it can be assumed it is either helping him or it was caught by Calem during his journey.
Serena (セレナ| Serena)
Serena (right), alongside Shauna (left), anticipating Lysandre's attack.
The female protagonist of the Generation 6 games, and Calem's rival.- Oh, Crap!: Expresses this when Lysandre activates the Ultimate Weapon one last time.
- The Faceless: Averted, unlike the other protagonists in this series, although this is because she plays the role of the NPC rival to Calem here rather than being the protagonist.
Shauna (サナ| Sana)
One of Calem and Serena's rivals from the gen 5 games.
- Oh, Crap!: Expresses this when Lysandre activates the Ultimate Weapon one last time.
Unova - The Plan (E4)
Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius (ゲーチス | G-Cis)
Ghetsis, adressing a crowd.
Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (JP), Armen Taylor (EN)
A member of the Seven Sages, is actually the true leader of Team Plasma, and is the brains behind the 'plan' involving the manipulation of N.- Adaptational Intelligence: Makes sense, considering he appears in an episode based on the first Black game. Unlike his Generations counterpart, this Ghetsis is calm, cool, and collected when planning his goals for total domination over Unova.
- Big Bad: Of "The Plan".
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Ghetsis is still as evil as he is in the games, and any public appearances that puts him and Team Plasma in a positive light is nothing more than a cleverly masked fraud.
- It's All About Me: True to his character, doesn't care about Team Plasma, only using them as pawns for his ultimate goals. His final line in the episode solidifies this.
- Large Ham: While not as hammy as Patrick Seitz, Armen Taylor does give it his all given the opportunity.
- The Chessmaster: A series of flashbacks reveal how Ghetsis was able to get his plan into motion.
- The Narrator: In the flashbacks, Ghetsis narrates everything.
- Villain Protagonist: He is the primary focus of "The Plan".
N (ナチュラル | Natural)
N, beside Zekrom.
Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (JP), Chris Hackney (EN)
Young N voiced by: Chiyuki Miura (JP), Brittany Lauda (EN)
The 'king' of Team Plasma, accepted into Team Plasma to become their 'king', but is warped by Ghetsis' intentions of obtaining the legendary Pokémon, Zekrom for total domination of Unova.Young N voiced by: Chiyuki Miura (JP), Brittany Lauda (EN)
- Break the Haughty: Not completely, but N was shaken by Alder's words during their fight, an indication that he struggles between his ideal world and the truth.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: He was just a boy raised by Pokémon, who would then go on to be the "king" of a criminal organization who nearly takes over the region, commanding the powerful Legendary Zekrom.
- Olympus Mons: He has Zekrom on his side, one of the main Legendaries of Unova.
- Puppet King: Is 'crowned' as the king of Team Plasma, but this is all a ruse for Ghetsis' plan.
- The Quiet One: He has just one line in his episode, beckoning Zekrom to come to him. In the actual games, he's a bit of a Motor Mouth, talking the player's ear off about his ideals or pursuit of truth, but here, he doesn't speak much, likely to highlight just how much of a pawn to Ghetsis he really is.
Hilda
Hilda, with her Tepig.
Voiced by: Hina Natsume (JP)
The female lead of the first set of Generation V games (Black and White), the possessor of the Light Stone, and a key figure in N's realization.- The Faceless: Zig zagged. She's seen from afar at the start of the episode, and then her face can be clearly seen from the side as she picks up her Tepig, but in every scene after that, her face is obscured like the other protagonists in this series.
- Heroic Mime: Like in the games if chosen as the player character, she has no dialogue and only lets out a grunt at one point.
- Out of Focus: Is only shown watching Team Plasma's initial speech to a crowd, since the episode centers mainly around N and Alder.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Her presence towards N help him slightly question Ghetsis' intentions and his own.
- Starter Mon: Her starter of choice in this continuity is Tepig.
- Sympathy for the Devil: Seems to be shedding tears for N during their final confrontation, knowing what he's been through and that he's being used, but also knowing that she needs to fight him in order to get through to him and end the conflict once and for all.
Alder
Alder, trying to convince N the truth during their fight.
Voiced by: Yasuhiro Mamiya (JP), Andrew Eales (EN)
The champion of Unova, who challenges N and gets him to reconsider his actions.- Adaptational Badass: Sort of. In the games he also fights N and goes down to his Legendary but it's already happened by the time you defeat the Elite Four. Here it's shown that even being hugely out of practice Alder and his Volcarona actually put up a very good fight against N and Zekrom before losing. Made even more impressive when you remember that this Volcarona wasn't even his starter Pokemon and so he's probably had it for less time than the ace Pokemon of other Champions.
- Armor-Piercing Question: His words clearly have an impact on N.
- Signature Mon: His is Volcarona, which tries to hold its own against Zekrom.
- The Worf Effect: He's defeated to show just how powerful N has become, although his words at least got N to think about what he's done. Also downplayed in that he had to face a Legendary Pokemon when usually Champions avoid battling them altogether, and he's heavily rusty by that point due to taking a break from the League.
- Worf Had the Flu: Is out of practice by the time N reaches him due to wandering Unova and leaving the League in the hands of the Elite Four while he was away. The fact he and Volcarona put up as much of a fight as they did against N's Zekrom despite this is still impressive.
Sinnoh - The Rival (E5)
Barry (ジュン | Jun)
Barry, facing Team Galactic one last time on Spear Pillar.
Voiced by: Connor Ludovice (EN)
The main character's rival in the Generation 4 games.- Keet: Not quite as much as his game counterpart, but still passionate about battling.
- Nice Guy: Towards his rival and friend Lucas.
- Took a Level in Badass: To the point that even Jupiter acknowledges it.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Comes off as a downplayed example towards his father, Palmer.
Jupiter (ジュピタ)
Voiced by: Suzie Yeung (EN)
One of the four Commanders of Team Galactic in the Sinnoh games.- The Heavy: While Cyrus is the Big Bad, Jupiter is the more prominent obstacle shown in the episode.
- Jerkass: Unlike the Well-Intentioned Extremist Lusamine, Affably Evil Lysandre and Faux Affably Evil Ghetsis, Jupiter is mostly just a condescending bully, with her only positive moment being when she actually gives credit where credit is due by acknowledging Barry's strength.
- Smug Snake: She speaks very condescendingly to her opponents.
- Villain Respect: Actually manages to acknowledge Barry taking a level in badass and even sounds legitimately impressed.Jupiter: So you did toughen up.
Hoenn - The Wish (E6)
Zinnia
Voiced by: Laura Stahl (EN), Ayane Sakura (JP)
Lorekeeper of the Draconid tribe, and primary antagonist of the postgame story of the Hoenn remakes.- Adaptational Curves: Notably subverted despite expectations. Zinnia's official art and TCG cards show that she has very big boobs - being the bustiest character in the series to be depicted as around the same age as the protagonists. Despite this, her 3D debut in Masters reduced her chest size. Here, she is significantly more well-endowed than May (who is still modestly endowed herself). This is made more notable by the fact that OLM is the same studio that animates the main Pokemon anime, where characters tend to have their proportions downplayed (as with Skyla and Olivia).
- Anti-Villain: She does ultimately mean to save Hoenn from a potential apocalypse, but she's done a lot of equally reprehensible things (including engineering another apocalypse), all with the callous attitude on display here, for that sake.
- Graceful Loser: When May successfully restores Rayquaza's power, Zinnia calmly accepts her failure and passes on her responsibility to May.
- Ms. Exposition: As a Lorekeeper for the Draconids, she ends up being the one to reveal the history of Rayquaza saving Hoenn in the past and having a higher level of power - Mega Evolution.
- Villainous BSoD: She shuts down when she fails to make Rayquaza Mega Evolve.
- Villain Protagonist: Zinnia gets the majority of focus and dialogue in "The Wish."
May
Voiced by: Hina Natsume (JP)
The female lead of the Hoenn games.- Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: The three Pokemon she sends out —Aggron, Altaria, and Mega Swampert— each use super-effective moves against Rayquaza, namely Stone Edge, Dragon Pulse, and Ice Punch, respectively. Naturally, the last one does the trick, due to being 4x effective.
- The Faceless: Averted. She's shown off very clearly, unlike the other protagonists, although like them, she doesn't say much.
- MacGuffin: The Meteorite, earned during the Mt. Chimney sidequest.
- Made of Iron: She has no injuries falling off an entire story beyond a briefly sore butt.
- Superior Successor: To Zinnia, carrying none of her antagonism, though holding the Meteorite helped.
Johto - The Show (E7)
The Kimono Girls - Zuki, Sayo, Miki, Kuni, and Naoko
The five maiko sisters of the Ecruteak Dance Theater.- Adaptational Name Change: As with the remakes, the names of three of the sisters are switched around from the original games and anime. Only Zuki and Miki remain unchanged.
- Animal Motifs: Their kimonos and the Apricorn Balls that adorn their hair take after their respective Eeveelutions.
- The Baby of the Bunch: The primary focus character is the shortest and youngest sister, the Espeon user, and her apparent insecurity about her climactic role as the one who concludes the tale.
- Geisha: Maiko, specifically.
- Mundane Utility: Each of the Eeveelutions correspond to the segments of the story of the Ecruteak fire. Umbreon is the night it started, Jolteon is the instigating thunderstorm, Flareon is the inferno, Vaporeon is the rain, and Espeon is the sunrise of the aftermath. Aside from that, various other types of Pokemon are used for special effects, such as two Fearow effectively motion-capturing Ho-oh and Lugia, with glamour provided by powder-emitting Pokemon.
- The Storyteller: Each of the sisters take turns retelling the story of the inferno that destroyed the Brass Tower.
- You All Look Familiar: Averted, like the main anime. Even done up in their maiko outfits in full make up, they can be distinguished fairly easily, particularly by their kimono colors and the Apricorn Balls adorning their hair.
Morty
Ghost-type Gym Leader of the episode's setting, Ecruteak City.- The Cameo: What his appearance amounts to.
- Inelegant Blubbering: His Gengar is crying waterfalls at the end of the show.
Kanto - The Discovery (E8)
Green
Voiced by: Cristina Vee (EN)
The third, formerly unused, of the original three trainers, finally given an unambiguous update. Here, she's seeking out the powerful Mewtwo to complete her Pokedex.- A Day in the Limelight: This is the first time she is in the spotlight whether as Green or Leaf, and in particular, without having to share it with either Red or Blue, who are merely quick cameos at the end of the episode.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed. She wasn't a villain in the original games where she (or at least this version of her) originated from, but she exhibited weird, almost psychotic behaviour after you catch Mewtwo, wherein she'd chuck Poke Balls at the player character, seemingly unable to completely accept her loss at first. Here, she only pelts Elaine with one ball, and it was by mistake, thinking she was Mewtwo. After the battle, she doesn't continuously throw balls at Elaine either, and her declaration of making both Elaine and Mewtwo her Pokemon just comes across as a genuine, lighthearted joke, if a bit weirdly executed.
- The Artifact: As always, her English name is Green as it is the leftover color after Blue became the partner color to Pokemon Red Version, and thus, the rival's canon name, despite the girl being presented with a blue aura on the main poster, and her updated design giving her blue shorts. On the other hand, one could say she's a Green-Eyed Monster of sorts, being jealous that Elaine got to Mewtwo first.
- Character Tic: Usually winks and reaches out her hand as she exits a scene.
- Composite Character: She exhibits some of the wiliness of her manga incarnation.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Before heading into Cerulean Cave, she's challenged by the trainers on Nugget Bridge, although they pose no challenge to her.
- Graceful Loser: Compared to her game self, she's much more accepting of her loss to Elaine. And while she does "offer" for the latter and Mewtwo to be her Pokemon, it's treated as a joke, without a single Poke Ball chucked beyond the one tossed by mistake before the fight.
- Signature Mon: Hers is Blastoise, which can also Mega Evolve.
- Super Mode: Her Blaistoise is capable of Mega Evolving into Mega Blastoise.
Elaine
Voiced by: Brittany Lauda (EN)
The female player character of Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee.- Ambiguously Brown: She is tanned, as that's one of the character customization options in her game.
- The Faceless: Averted. She's one of the few protagonists in this series to not have her face be hidden from view, and even gets a line or two in.
- Flat "What": The blank stare she, her Pikachu, and Mewtwo share and give each other after Green makes her "you can be my Pokemon" joke.
- No Name Given: She's called "Player" in the credits.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Not Elaine herself, but her Mewtwo. During battle, it looks as ferocious as you'd expect any Mewtwo to look. After the battle though, as Green says her goodbyes, Mewtwo looks just as confused and as docile as its trainer, complete with a nervous sweat drop. That's right, even Mewtwo can look pretty cute. Elaine is featured as having a darker complexion unlike some of the other characters with customizable skin tones, however.
- Olympus Mons: Succeeds in capturing Mewtwo.
- Signature Mon: Hers is Pikachu, making this episode an adaptation of Let's Go Pikachu.
- Suddenly Voiced: Out of all the playable characters presented, she's the only one who has actual lines, although they're still pretty brief.
- Took a Shortcut: Elaine showed up last before Green and Trace started racing to find Mewtwo. She somehow manages to beat them both at finding and catching Mewtwo farther ahead of the two, much to Green's chagrin.
Trace
Voiced by: Brandon Winckler (EN)
The rival character of Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee.- Composite Character: Not much, but does exhibit a bit of competitiveness more associated with Blue than Trace.
- Graceful Loser: Ultimately doesn't seem to be bothered by Green outsmarting him and forcing him to back down from the hunt to treat his Pidgeot.
- Signature Mon: Jolteon, seeing as how this episode adapts Let's Go Pikachu. He's also shown with his Pidgeot.
Blue
One of the original three main characters from the Kanto games, the main rival now turned Gym Leader of Viridian Gym.- Call-Back: His appearance in Viridian Gym not only references the Johto games, where he also becomes the Gym Leader after Giovanni's defeat, but it also serves as a sort of call back to the last web mini series, Pokémon Generations, where he's also sitting down at the end of an episode, awaiting a challenger.
- The Cameo: Makes a cameo appearance at the end of the episode, sitting inside Viridian Gym, taking on a challenger.
- Signature Mon: His is Venusaur, although in the actual games, it would have been Charizard.
Red
One of the original protagonists from the Kanto games, the former Champion who can be fought at the Pokemon League.- The Cameo: Makes a cameo appearance at the end of the episode, standing at the Pokemon League, while his Charizard roars by his side.
- The Faceless: Sort of. He's seen at a distance, and the glare from the sun makes it hard to see his face.
- Signature Mon: His starter of choice is Charizard here, although in the actual games, it would have been Venusaur. His Pikachu is also notably absent, likely because the episode already has Elaine's Pikachu as part of the spotlight.
