List of Pokémon characters
This is a list of recurring characters in the Pokémon video game series. Characters may appear in multiple continuities within the Pokémon franchise, such as the animated adaptations, films, manga, and books. In these spin-offs, the characters may take on the same basic role, such as with Professor Oak and Giovanni in the Pokémon TV series, and sometimes different roles, such as with Misty and Brock. Each main-series Pokémon game features a player character protagonist or set of protagonists, one or more rival characters, a hometown "Pokémon professor" who introduces the mechanics of the game, and a large selection of fellow Pokémon trainers, "Gym leaders", and villainous teams to battle against. KantoCharacters that were introduced in the video games Pokémon Red, Green, Blue (1996), Yellow (1998), FireRed, LeafGreen (2004), and Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! (2018), which are set in the fictional Kanto region. Many of these characters recur throughout the Pokémon franchise. ProtagonistsRed (レッド, Red) is the protagonist of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow and the male protagonist of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Red later appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal as a secret boss fight on Mt. Silver, and also appears in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Pokémon Sun and Moon, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as well as in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, reprising his role from the originals. In Pokémon Adventures, he is the Champion of the Kanto Region. Leaf (リーフ, Leaf) is the female protagonist of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

He is pushy and competitive, but generally a good Pokémon Trainer. He briefly precedes the player character as the Champion of the Kanto Region, waiting for the player to challenge him. Blue is the basis for Gary Oak in the anime. IGN listed Blue as the 98th best villain in video games, though they stressed that it was difficult to view him as a villain.[1] He reappears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal and their remakes as the new Viridian City Gym Leader. Trace (シン, Shin) replaces Blue as the rival character of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.[2] The character is much kinder, offering advice and gifting the player items. When asked about this change, director Junichi Masuda said that Pokémon's evolving graphics make rude behaviors by rival characters more intense, and that he personally felt "those kinds of personalities these days are just not as accepted by players as they were back then."[3] Professor OakProfessor Samuel Oak (Professor Yukinari Ōkido (オーキド・ユキナリ博士, Ōkido Yukinari-hakase)) is a Pokémon Researcher and the grandfather of Blue in the Kanto-based games.
