Now it may be difficult to take characters from the anime to the video game because in other countries their distribution right is with other companies, but here we have the case of Jessie and James who are even part of Yellow, Go, and Masters.
I believe that a simple and trouble-free solution is to bring the anime characters to the games embodied in generic NPCs and through subtle clues you can know who they are or if possible, use the most similar characters respecting their teams.
