Quoted By:
Red: Has always had a better connection with Pokémon over people. Has a good heart with a sense of justice, but has developed a more withdrawn personality after his friendship and rivalry with Blue came to a head.
Leaf: Quiet and cold towards people, has trust issues with people after growing up in a relatively poor family. Great survival instinct and relishes in the journey as a way to reinvent herself.
Ethan: Energetic, often times a little too overconfident and underestimates challenges.
Kris: Quirky nerdy girl who loves mythology, works as a lab assistant for Professor Elm.
Lyra: Kris' younger sister. Timid, prissy, and slightly immature from having been babied, means well but tries way too hard to act like a grown-up. Great with Pokémon despite not really enjoying battles.
Brendan: Loves exploration and treasure-hunting, but still gets more information from books than real-life experience, especially when it comes to having recently moved to Hoenn. Stereotypical "nice boy".
May: Also loves exploration, having more practical experience from having assisted her father in his field work. Perfectionist who means well but comes across as being "too competitive".
