For Kalos, Xerosic (the one male scientist) is probably the more forgettable member of Team Flare
thanks, my left ear really enjoyed the video!
Pokemon forgot about yellow, they put green in a main series game but not yellow
@@TheShadow1347 no he is not, all of the team flare scientist are frogetabble
@@lightningstriker8884
Xerosic is the only member of Team Flare I forget since he didn't do much
I still remember Charles the Heartbreaker, a biker NPC from BW2 who liked rotation battles and always said his name when talking.
He appears in the originals and challenges you to a Triple Battle in Pokemon White/White 2 (to my knowledge)
Yep, he's also in Pokemon Black. He's always been funny to me.
Its because of characters like these that I love Pokémon masters. They have made these people much more memorable.

@@connorboy787u7 thanks!
So I noticed, we mostly got every protagonist we play in the games, those being Red, Ethan, Brendan, Lucas, Hilbert, Nate, Calem and Elio, as well as Leaf, Kris, Lyra, May, Dawn, Hilda, Rosa, Serena , Selene and Gloria. But something is clearly missing, if they were able to bring the protagonist of the Black and White sequels, where are the protagonist of Ultra Sun and Moon?
@@Chucky_Martinez because those are still Selene and Elio
@@rocketmidbus6297 exactly it’s just different outfits
Nobody can forget Lucy, one of the few women who actually showed interest in Brock
Yes! The one woman that he could've gotten married to in his future.
True! Also her Seviper inspered design was very unforgettable
Plus her Shuckle strat destroyed me as a kid and her Milotic was impossible to beat too
Her Milotic gives me night terrors to this day, I wake up screaming at the top of my lungs and I wouldn't have it any other way, love you Lucy.
Nah, she just tends to like anything that has the same kind of eyes that Brock has.
The seven sages, specifically Giallo, Ryoku, and Bronius, were forgotten. They only appear in black and white, and don't get anything in BW2, unlike Zinzolin and Rood.
Gorm is in an odd spot in that regard, he’s in B2W2 but well out of your way
Ryoku and Gorm! Those were the two I forgot! I was seeing if I could remember all seven and I could only name five.
what even was the point of the point of the seven sages aside from Zinzolin and Rood (I don't view Ghetsis as a sage)
@@xord6286 What was the point of a lot of it? The whole "goddesses" thing? Plasma was a woefully overpacked organization.
@@xord6286 who is the seventh sage if not Ghetsis then?
What's so funny about Juan in Emerald is that his overworld sprite doesn't really looks like him and is actually an edit of Steven's sprite
Ryuki gives me “So we modeled this guy, but we don’t really want to use him to have a cool master-less trial moment for the dragon z crystal instead, but we don’t wanna waste him so let’s make him a secret boss” vibes. It’s pretty strange, honestly.
Yeah I never quite got Ryuki. His vibes were way out of place and feels just kinda plopped onto the games. I guess the Devs wanted a specialist for each type so they made him a wandering singer who uses Dragon Pokémon.
I remember even Pokémon Special just kinda slapped him into the Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon Arc at the end as a guy who was sent to battle Gladion for no real reason by Faba.
An interesting thing about Charon: Despite his presence being absent in BDSP, they kept his journal in the Rotom room (the Rotom room itself being a Platinum carryover) with all of the text within, complete with his faded signature. This leads to the implication that he either left Team Galactic before the events of the main story, passed away at some point before the main story, or, considering the Rotom Room is meant as a post game event in BDSP (despite it only requiring the National Dex which can actually be obtained after entering Eterna for the first time through some trade/transfer shinanigans) he could just be working behind the scenes and we simply never see him. Though that’s just the narrative; we all know the real reason is that they wanted to be “faithful” and not carry anything over from Platinum’s changes to the main story.
Me when I actively release video games worse than games made in 2008
Sonic Colors Ultimate anyone
@@MaxiemumKarnage i too enjoy waiting 10 seconds for a health bar to deplete
And of course his THREE ancestors in PLA--Choy, Tao Hua, and Yui. All of whom are utterly ashamed of their descendant's behavior.
@@parkingmeters2646 Play Platinum.
I think one of the most forgettable characters are Nita, Evelyn, Morgan and Dana who are the four leaders from the Battle Maison in Gen 6, and yes I had to look up their names
Every time I watch the Acacia music vid, I remember these people once they show up at the end, then immediately forget five minutes later.
An easy way to remember their names is that they’re times of day. Morning - Morgan, Day - Dana, Evening - Evelyn, and Night - Nita
@@Dougbro1 thank you I never actually noticed that
I can't forget about them. They pretty
I was thinking about them too. Absolutely the most forgotten of the Kalos cast.
Fun fact: Ryuki holds the record for the character to be in Masters NPC Jail for the longest time. Over two full years and going at this point!
Was he introduced before Paulo?
@@emilstoqanov3270 Paulo has been here since the games' launch, but at least with him we don't have any expectations of him being playable anytime soon now with the advent of region focused Villain Arcs.
Ryuki being in NPC hell is extra funny since even Masuda forgot about him and now we’re even getting a literal random sightseeer NPC before him
@@dailyditto5727
And what’s worse, the sightseer Naomi is from the same region as Ryuki, Alola
About Ryuki, an Italian UA-camr called Cydonia did an interview to Masuda and asked if Ryuki will return in SwSh for his rocket nature. Masuda saw that he has forgot the character
Lol! Do you have a link to this interview?
@@l-I-I__Iool yes, Is in english
Same. I wanna see that interview lol
Link?
Here's the link for anyone interested: ua-cam.com/video/BwGvhneGCy4/v-deo.html
I'm Italian too and I remember the disappointment very well...
Did you forget about Anthea and Concordia (a blonde and a pink-haired girl from N's Castle), or are they actually more relevant than I thought, and don't count as obscure? There are also people like Magnus, the founder of Pokéathlon, and Pop Roxie (Roxie's dad), who both have distinct sprites, so they should count too. Also Kurt from Johto.
All of those could definitely count too! My editor was sick this week though so a lot had to be cut from this one sadly
I wish we could know more about Anthea and Concordia, they really do just be chilling in N’s pop-up castle.
Athena and Concordia and a handful of special apperances (the opening of BW, N's Castle in Bw, Plasma House in B2W2, and also the anime where they were put in the BW Season 2 opening).
Anthea and Concordia aren't really forgettable though thanks to the anime, and bw opening
@@zjzr08 Speaking about games, I still think they don't have that much presence, definitely not more than many listed in the video. Not familiar with the Unova anime though, are they more prominent in the anime than any Frontier Brain or Stat Trainer was?
None of them are forgettable for me anyway, I even knew Spencer was Spencer, when he asked 😀
I know one of the most forgotten characters when they were replaced... Kris the very first female protagonist in crystal
Yeah, Lyra’s existence is so so weird. At least Kris is in Masters, yeah?
Kris is my fav
I can never forget Lucy. She left too much of an imprint in my mind in the anime when she actually has feelings for Brock but Brock’s friends pulled him away, making little kid me think Brock found his soulmate. That and Lucy was a waifu of mine back in the day.
She was the first frontier brain I ever encountered and when I was little I had no idea the frontier had bosses, which when she pummeled me (as I wasn’t ready for her) it left such an impression on me
Oh, I can guarantee Lucy hasn't been forgotten, specially on the latin american fandom. In the dub of the episode where she is introduced in the anime, her title as frontier brain was translated as something that could be interpreted in some places as "Lucy, the d*ck queen" (Lucy, reina del pico). As you can imagine, this has become a meme.
Here’s one you all forgot about- the Riches family in Undella Town in Black & White. They feel like they were supposed to be the spiritual successors to the only-slightly-more memorable Winstrate family in Hoenn.
I thought they all used generic sprites? Can't really remember off the top of my head right now.
@@alexanderticonuwu7591 The Winstrates also used generic sprites, I think.
Anything in Undella town is bound to be overshadowed by HER.
As for XY, the one forgotten character that you missed is the mega evolution guru Gurkinn (yes, I had to google his name). He is basicly Korina's Grampa and has a unique sprite, so he counts as a "important character".
Edit: there is also that medal rally guy for BW2 who had a unique sprite.
We need Kalos to be revisited just to explain how he got his eyebrows to be like that
@@jrlaps521 lol
Gurkinn was kinda visible when Korrina showed up in the anime.
Ghurkinn is pretty important in the game's story tho, you get the mega ring from him after all. And there's an entire anime arc during XY, then he shows up to fight Ash & Lucario when they want to mega evolve.
He is not really forgotten because of the anime he appeared when ash fought korina in journeys he is really important in the anime because he is the one who truly introduced mega evolution to ash
It pains me how few people actually played the Battle Frontier in Emerald and Platinum, easily peak content and Pike Queen Lucy is SSS-tier design.
True I wasn't even a competitive player and loved them back when I was a kid i think I'm gonna go back and play the emerald frontier again now
@@hibye-die Hello based department?
@@MaxiemumKarnage I'm not sure what the question is
@@hibye-die
Basically they called you cool in internet slang
@@highadmiraljt5853 ah forgot that was what that meant thanks
I found Mustard and Honey's son more forgettable than Honey herself
Wait, they have a son?
@@alexanderticonuwu7591 Thanks for proving my point
I had no idea they had a son
The Cram-o-matic kid. Right forgot about him too
I have a disgusting amount of headspace when it comes to Pokemon. When I know a characters name, I'm gonna remember it. That being said, I could not be *paid* to remember the Team Flare commanders except Xerosic. I always just call them the "Pretty Skittles Briggade."
purple hair is Celosia, blue hair is Mable. I can't remember the others.
Ok looked it up, orange hair is Alliana, green is Byrony. You fight them all like 2 times max and fsr nameless "admins" are a thing when the scientists are far closer to admins then the actual admins.
I remember them more than him just cause "pretty ladies" stand out to me more immediately of course lol. But that doesn't mean i can tell you all their names or anything. But team flare in general is meh so...
@@MagillanicaLouM has anyone noticed how many millionaires are in x and y you have to cough up 1 million dollars to join some probably gave more for higher positions I mean there is literally a scientist that has failed every mission given to her
@@johnax4124 it does not help that the admins of team flare has the hardest names to remember, they're not like team galactic with theme naming, at least with team aqua for me i have an excuse, it's a version exclusive team and i mainly played ruby and omega ruby so i don't remember the names shelly and matt, especially matt, i always think max for some reason but team flare has no excuse
I like their names and designs but they’re one of the biggest disappointments in Pokemon characters ever lol
oh, a video about forgotten pokemon characters! finally, someone's gonna talk about my boy Aarune!
...right?
I remember him.
I remember him too. At this rate of forgotten characters not in the video that are mentioned in the comments JPR could make another video lol
Oh yeah, that guy! The Secret Base Expert from ORAS who uses a severely underleveled Flygon.
Fun fact: the developers chose Flygon as his ace because it's the only Pokemon that can learn both Fly and Secret Power that isn't already used by a major character.
My favorite underrated NPC is Copycat. She's a weird girl with no friends except her plushies who lives in Saffron City in Red and Blue. She likes to imitate people, and she repeats what Red says so that's one of the only times when we can know what Red says, and even he calls Copycat weird.
Copycat is a nickname given to her because she likes imitating people a lot. In Gold and Silver, she moved to Johto where her family has to do with the train station. I even made Gen 1 and 2 custom pixel arts for her based on her two training card game designs.
Yes. I wish I could actually make a hack rom where we would play as Copycat, with, instead of Boy and Girl, we could choose between her original design and her remake design.
Two of the base names would be Copycat and Duplica. And considering we can see her using disguises on the cards, she could have to wear these costumes. Like using her Rocket costume to infiltrate them, or her Blaine costume to replace him at the Gym while he has something important to do. And her main Pokemon would be Ditto obviously.
Thanks ^^
She also got quite a few TCG cards, so we can see what she'd look like in different outfits. She's got some nice green hair... or brown in the HGSS-era cards, but that's probably because of her in-game sprite. Whatever, she still looks adorable!
Oh and Duplica, who's inspired by Copycat, is one of my favourite minor characters from the anime. She _also_ has some nice green hair. :3
I know all of that. I always search information about characters I like, especially the underrated ones. Did you read my ideas for a Copycat rom hack ?
@@Oceane1803 Yeah, of course!
By the way, you said you made some pixel art of her. Would you midn sharing them with us? Do you have a DeviantArt account or something?
Who could forget Tucker? He and Wallace started the Hoenn region's first Pride Parade
lol 😂
I could never forget about Honey. If you remember Master Mustard, you remember Honey because together they make the best condiment, Honey Mustard.
I'd argue Janine belongs on this list if for no other reason than being the only gym leader so far that hasn't made an appearance in the anime. Which is odd, considering both Battle Frontier and Journeys would've been decent places to finally introduce her and allude to Koga joining the Indigo Elite Four.
I keep forgetting that the apprentice with the venonat that ash battles with bulbasaur in koga's gym wasn't Janine
@@nellewoodruff6337 TIL they weren't.
Milo, Nessa, Kabu, Gordy and Melonie all haven't appeared either.
@@TDIfan10 I don't count them because they're all from the current generation. If they haven't appeared by the time Journeys is over, then they count.
I thought Ryuki was Benga for a short amount of time.
I honestly would've loved to see Scott throw down with this ultra powerful team. He is a founder and scout for a group of the strongest trainers around. Why wouldn't he be stacked?
His team is just Castform, Kecleon and pre-prankster Sableye
14:12 328 can be read in goroawase (japanese number worldplay) as Mitsuba, Honey's japanese name
What about the four girls from Battle Chateau? Who would even care for completing this place and see these four. I only remember them, because I learned about them from the TCG lol
I mean I completed the place but couldn't tell you their names they aren't as memorable as the battle subway bosses or the battle tree for sure or battle frontiers
They're kind of in the same boat as the Team Flare scientist girls to me - I kinda like their designs, but I couldn't for the life of me tell you what their names are.
...which is a reverse of Curtis and Yancy, which is remember their names very well, but not what they look like. :/
Still sad we never got a Sinnoh Battle Frontier arc. I really wanted to see Dahlia.
11:23 I love this side quest. not just for the trades but for the conversations and subtle romance. I really wish we had more stuff like this, even if it's not romantic, to have a friend we can visit/talk to outside of battles, maybe they could tell us where is a hidden item or give us a pokemon unavailable in the wild in that region, give us hints on the elite four of that region or give us a particular item after a number of visits/battles/trades (this to give people who don't care about npcs the incentive to actually talk to them)
11:00 I'm just now realizing considering his main personality is "small child" they could have easily had him instead of Cameron lmao (yes he's a super boss in BW2 but idk Hop is also just starting his journey now in journeys, feels like can show at an earlier point). Guess they really wanted the league rival to have Lucario lmao
Well, a lot of characters can be forgettable (especially when it's a Pkmn game you didn't play within the last deceny), but as a counterpart a lot of others will always remain in our memories (such as Champions, rivals etc)
I always forget about every PC storage developer from every gen except for Bill
There's the one from Hoenn who has way too many boxes in her house.
There's Bebe (or whatever her name was) from Sinnoh who gives you an Eevee.
And... uh... yeah, I got nothing. It's a shame too, as most of them have some pretty nice-looking official art, even the ones who share designs with generic NPCs.
EDIT: wait, Molayne is a PC storage developer? :o
About Celio, honestly any Pokémon Storage System Developer not named Bill would be forgotten or at least obscure. The second best known is, what, Brigette? And mainly because of Pokémon Bank?
Anyway, I recognized anyone in this video except Carrie (who didn't reappear in HGSS; I also didn't care much about Mystery Gifts).
I always have a memory of Brigette appearing in the anime for some reason, but no she hasn't iirc. Definitely would boost her popularity, both her designs are elite, especially with how this fanbase gets lol
Maybe Hayley if she counts but that's only because she got her own game.
I remember Amanita, the storage manager in Gen 5
What about Cassius, the Gen 6 PC guy?
I laughed at the Slugma joke, I must be eliminated
Video Idea: Best Pokémon Spinoffs
easy pokemon conquest
Pokemon Ranger is the best one that's an easy win.
No lie, I knew Spencer's name because there's a major character with the same name from the original Pokemon Ranger game. Spencer is actually the only Hoenn Frontier Brain whose name I remembered besides Anabel.
Yeah but that's Spencer. This is Spenser, with a S, yeah?
I always thought the old guys in ORAS: Giddy, The Hipster, The Bard & The Trader were really random and easy to miss, but their little story was quite fun, and how they go on to 'create' Mr Bonding is insane 😂
Oh yeah I completely forgot about that quest
That story was frickin bizarre and I'm amazed more people don't talk about it.
They give me real bad vibes.....
OK, guess I'll make my own list of forgotten/forgettable Pokemon characters that weren't in this video, following the same rules.
Note : I'm mostly gonna talk about the main games. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the anime, most spin-offs or the manga. So if some of these guys are more fleshed out in any of these medias, sorry in advance.
-- Kanto :
*Baoba :* Warden of the Fuschia Safari Zone, he gives you the Strength HM if you find his Gold Teeth. He doesn't appear in GSC, though it's mentionned he's travelling. However, he reappears in HGSS, finally getting a name, and on his way to create a new Safari Zone in Johto. But yeah, aside from an appearance in Let's Go, retaining his HGSS name, we haven't seen him since.
*The Copycat :* Quite like Koichi, she has a pretty fleshed out story for such a minor character. In Gen 1, she lives in the northwest of Saffron City, and gives the player the Mimic TM in exchange for a Poké-Doll, and that's pretty much it. Between Gens 1 and 2, though, her house was destroyed to build the Magnet Train Station, and she moved with her family a little bit to the south. In Gen 2, she asks to find her Poké-Doll in Vermillion City, then gives us the Magnet Train pass. And that's it. The remakes change a bit what she asks and what she gives, but that's roughly the same thing. Also, her large number of dolls and her mimicking habit were pretty noteworthy, especially when she starts mimicking our character.
*Daisy Oak :* Unlike her brother and her grandfather, she doesn't do much aside from giving maps and tea. I find it kinda odd that the games bothered to give her a name (when not even our own mother has one, they could just have named her "Blue's sister"), yet they don't do anything with her. But hey, she has a Fame Checker page, that's something, I guess.
(Actually, I'm starting to notice a pattern here : minor Gen 1 characters reappearing in Gen 2, since you revisit Kanto, thus making them technically recurring, but it's kinda cheating)
Also, I'm hesitating on including *Janine*. Despite being a gym leader in Gen 2's postgame, that's still a pretty underwhelming gym challenge overall, and she's the weakest leader of it all (I mean, I get they wanted her to be weaker than her dad, but that doesn't make much sense from a game design standpoint). That was kinda fixed in HGSS, but she's barely acknowledged outside of Gen 2 : she had a small cameo in FRLG, and she appeared in BW2's PWT, when even her dad didn't, which is cool for her, but then nothing in Let's Go. So I'm not really sure.
-- Johto :
*Kurt :* Kurt is related to the Slowpoke Well Team Rocket incident, but he's most notorious for his special Poké-Balls made with Apricorns. Though, most of these balls are pretty useless, and in Gen 2, glitched to make them even more useless. But still, that's noteworthy at least. But even when his balls returned in newer games, he had nothing to do with them, they were just there.
*Team Rocket Executives :* There are four of them : Archer, Ariana, Petrel and Proton. They first appeared in Gen 2, with no name and no unique appearance (except for Ariana). In FRLG's postgame, two "Rocket Admins" appear, hinting at the future scenario of Gen 2, and given their teams, we can link them to Archer and Ariana. It's only in HGSS that they got proper names and designs. But since then, we've hardly seen them. They didn't appear in the Rainbow Rocket episode in USUM, then Archer got to appear in Let's Go, but not the others, and that's it. Archer's status might be debatable, thanks to his Let's Go appearance, but the other 3 are definitely forgotten.
(Nothing to add about Hoenn and Sinnoh)
-- Unova :
*Anthea and Concordia :* Those two have always confused me. They appear in the game intro of Pokémon Black and White, and then, they only appear once in the whole game, at the very end, in N's Castle (and are entirely missable). In the sequels, they can be found in the original Team Plasma's building in Driftveil City, and once again, don't do much. Even their role in the story is underwhelming : they were orphans adopted by Ghetsis, and asked to take care of N, and that's it. It all makes me wonder why they even bothered including them in the first place. And of course, we haven't seen them since Gen 5. But hey, at least they have cool designs.
-- Kalos :
*The Battle Chatelaines :* I'm not sure if we can really talk about them, since they're pretty recent, and it's only recently that Pokemon started giving its battle facility leaders some spotlight, like with Anabel in Gen 7 or Ingo in Legends Arceus. So maybe they'll do something with them in a few years. But for now, yeah, they're just chilling in their Maison waiting for you to fight them.
I think Gens 7 and 8 are too recent to really judge if their characters were memorable.
Now, I'd like to mention *most of the Gym Leaders and Elite Four members*. Sure, some of them reappeared, some of them had some sidequest related to them that made them more memorable, but I feel like most of them are just waiting in their gym/room, you fight them and that's it. I'm not sure if I can call this memorable.
Wait, the Kanto and HGSS Safari Wardens are the same person? :o
@@robertlupa8273 Yes. And he even has a son, who's running Fuschia City's Pal Park.
No one who read either of the gen 4 mangas could forget Charon because in both of them he turns out to be way more evil than Cyrus and usurps the entire team for his own gain. Heck in the DPA manga he somehow managed to be so terrifying that it's implied that a literal suicide mission to bomb the league is preferable to the grunts than whatever Charon would do to them for refusing.
It's also hard to forget how he's the one who did the preliminary research on Rotom (fun fact, we've seen Rotom's discoverer, the kid who wrote the diary, in an official video. He was a little redheaded boy with big glasses).
Also, Charon has THREE ancestors in PLA. You mentioned Choy, but there's also Choy's wife Yui and her grandfather Tao Hua.
Though I gotta say, you did present me with one character I actually had forgotten, and that's Carrie. Congratulations.
Wait there are 2 karate masters in Kanto? All this time I thought there was only 1 lmao
I can see why you think Honey is the most forgettable character in SWSH, but she has a big arc since the beginning of the Isle of Armor and appears multiple times. If the game doesn't have a forgettable character then don't list one. But luckily I have two. First is Peonia who has 3 big scenes and then is gone forever and Cara Liss, who is the woman doing the fossils and yes has a unique design to other professors.
Eusine is my vote for the list, always thought he was overshadowed by Morty and even Suicune itself, and that was his whole character
SINNOH BATTLE FRONTIER BRAINS (except Palmer and Caitlin). I KNOW IT JUST FROM CLICKING.
(It’s part of why I love that Thorton is in Masters)
good call lol
Dahlia and Darach deserved better than this.
@@castform7 And Argenta!
@@JPRPokeTrainer98 there is an forgettable charthers you forgot to include in the video from the 6th game the battle Chateline
@@DigiRangerScott I mostly remember Argenta because:
1. she's the only Frontier Brain I've faced (I even beat her first try!)
2. she was mentioned quite a bit in MandJTV's "the legendary problem (and how to fix it)" because she had a lot of different legendaries
For forgotten classes, I'd say the Bodybuilder and Street Performers are really forgotten and sorely missed.
I still can't believe the Battle Frontier did not appear in the PWC in Journeys. Brandon and Palmer would have been fun to watch.
While Red, and, Blue are well known in Gen 1 everyone seems to forget about the third park of the group a female trainer called Green, and yes she does appear in the lets go games.
I'd say Miror B, he's incredibly popular with the fanbase and arguably the most memorable character from the gamecube titles.
Uhh...doesn't being the most memorable character actually make him a character you didn't forget?
I doubt people remember the Other Cipher Admins or even the dark Riku cosplayer
When you remember the annoyance of Double Team - Rest, you can't forget Juan. That Kingdra...
And when you remember all the RNG bulls%it Spencer uses _on top of Battle Palace's RNG-heavy gimmick,_ you can't forget him either. Double Team, King's Rock, Bright Poweder, Horn Drill...
Weird to see Juan labeled as forgotten. Emerald was the game I played as a kid over Ruby and Sapphire so I’ve never really forgotten Juan. (Wallace also feels more like a champion than his predecessor(?) and Steven is just a president’s kid who’s into rocks.)
Also loved Yancey and Curtis as a kid, loved that slight romance plot! Kinda wish another one would pop up even if it’s super long.
Looker tends to be forgotten by GameFreak in Modern Pokemon the lady game he was in was Pokemon Sun/Moon with his mistress Anabel seriously GameFreak bring back Looker in Paldea because the dude isn't done investigating yet!
Looker also appeared in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and I believe you can get him in Masters.
I hope pokemon masters give them the spotlight they deserve
I feel bad for Charon, he's one of the most underrated characters.
One that I don’t see many talk about are Dexio and Sina. They initially appear in XY as the professors assistants but they don’t get any official art till Sun and Moon since they’re there to investigate Zyguard which is a pretty hard part to miss in both the regular and Ultra games. As far as I’m aware they’ve never been in the anime or in Pokémon Masters.
Also I feel really bad for the Ultra Recon Squad. I remember so much speculation on them in the lead up to USUM but they don’t really do much. Kinda surprised nearly nobody talks about the blue skinned alien people. At least they’re getting some attention in Pokémon Go.
Sina at least gets some "interesting" fanart by virtue of being a girl, so you might stumble upon her while browsing questionable sites. Dexio gets no such things or if he does, I either don't remember it or it didn't exist in the first place.
And yeah, r.i.p. Ultra Recon Squad.
Dexio has given me WAY too much frustration in my Pokemon Sun randomizer nuzlockes for me to ever to forget him
Jpr: What’s his name?
Me: Spencer.
Jpr: It’s Spencer.
Me: 🤓
Daragh is in Masters at least. 🤷♀️
I hope Benga appears again at some point, especially since he and Alder are related to the legendary hero from PLA.
7:24 JPRPokeTrainer98: Quick. Without Googling it, tell me his name now.
Me: It's Spencer.
JPRPokeTrainer98: Yeah. I didn't think so.
EPIC FAIL! The episode that Spencer first appears in is one of my favourite Battle Frontier episodes.
In the Japanese tcg set, Lost Abyss, the Lady secret rare is the Lady trainer class from FRLG. In the same set, Frontier Brain Thorton gets his Full Art debut.
Cheryl is the only stat trainer so far that has a Full Art during the SwSh era.
Caitlin got her first full art in the SwSh set Jet Black Poltergiest (a set featuring Shadow Rider Calyrex) despite her card being introduced in the BW era of cards.
I’m still waiting for my girl Maylene’s full art
@@robertwolff3580 Gee, I wonder why... :)
It's because she's your favourite Gym Leader, right?
Later on when Sword and Shield and some of it's pokemon were revealed, many saw Ryuki as a possible hint to the next generation game. The third main legendary of Galar is a dragon type and there is that Pokemon with two forms that play guitar with those organs on their chest (I'm sorry, I forgot their name, but I hope some of you know what I'm talking about)
Here's a little not-so-fun fact about Ryuki that you all probably missed for reasons that are about to get obvious.
In my country, Italy, there is a strong Pokemon presence, especially in the competitive scene, and right before SwSh came out Masuda came here and he also sat down for an interview with a local Pokemon expert.
One of the questions was "what was the deal about Ryuki?" and well Masuda answered saying he forgot that he even existed... Keep in mind this was 2019, just a couple of years after USUM.

I can promise you I have not forgotten any of these characters lol. Could be a superpower of mine idk? Haha love the video man!
I can relate
7:45 they look like maylene and fantina
I just redownloaded Pokémon Masters EX and at some point unlocked this girl with Seviper. I had to check her sibc story to learn that's she's from battle frontier. I really had no idea she existed untill now.
Lucy one of my fav frontier brains. How do people not remember the fronter brain with the Siviper building.
The video ideas are so smart man you're gonna be even bigger than u can imagine
appreciate it!
For Gen 2 I'd say Professor Elm as he gets overshadowed by Oak in his own region. You could also add DJ Mary and Mr. Pokemon to the list.
He said he wasn’t counting NPCs with special names like Mr Pokemon
Oh man, Juan. My team had a problem with him. It actually ended up with my Sceptile and his Kingdra having basically accuracy cut each other into using up PP and just smacking each other like preschoolers with that weird desperation move? I can’t remember the name.
Struggle. The move's name is Struggle.
I’ll never forget Mira. I used action replay on pearl and used the walk anywhere glitch to ditch her while she was following me. This messed up the game to the point that it permanently thinks she’s with me even though her sprite is not visible. Every battle is now a double battle with her kadabra and I can’t use any hms or ride my bike. There is no fix either since she is no longer in the cave so her side quest can’t be completed
Lmao that's a funny story
That’s what you get for CHEATING hah
Rip tho
If this has Scott from Emerald, this is a great video
it frickin does, great video
I'm honestly kind of amazed that such an important character is considered forgotten.
"Hey y'all, Scott here."
I feel like there’s human characters in the side games that are more forgotten than some of the people shown here. Pokémon Ranger, Colosseum and Conquest have lots interesting characters. I hope characters from those games show up in Masters and maybe the main games!
Yes! I always wanted it to be revealed that Scott was once Champion of the Hoenn region and made the Battle Frontier after giving up his title.
It sucks that we know see so little of the past League Champions. They’re not immortal so they can’t have been Champion forever.
Gotta love him asking people to hit him below the belt at 5:02
Clicked when I saw the Pike Queen
Saaaame
I liked Charon, especially in the manga. Was a great villain and got more depth.
i would like to put forth mustard’s son, who just sort of sits at the computer, introduces you to the cram o matic, gives you a porygon, and then nothing ever again.
At least he exists... unlike Melony's daughter, who despite having a somewhat unique design, only appears in concept art. What a shame.
I will NEVER forget Pike Queen Lucy. This is because the battle pike was my favorite area in emerald, before my game decided to stop functioning.
I love Honey. It was like having an in-game mom who didn't abandon her kid to the wild (or spend your money like in Johto). I thought she was pretty cool. And since there's basically nothing interesting to spend Armorite Ore on, giving it to Digging Pa for Watts definitely made her crazy requirements more accessible.
I remember majority of these with the exception of Yancy and Curtis who I have literally no recollection of 🤔 and this is coming from someone who loves Gen 5, clearly I wasn't paying enough attention 🥴
It's super easy to miss the Lost Xtranceiver key item that's off in the southwest corner in Nimbasa's ferris wheel area.
And even if you have the thing, you still need to stand on very specific tiles in different locations to even progress the side quest.
Honestly, a lot of the tiles are in spots that you would really check out only once and never go back to once you think nothing's there.
All of that's probably why most people don't even know about Yancy and Curtis.
I'm honestly surprised people even figured it out enough to have actual guides for the quest.
When i was younger, i always thought the screen of Celios supercomputer was the top light blue part and not the tiny black screen between the two gemstones. That is until i beat that part of the quest when i got older.. Such disappointment.
I actually didn't have to Google the names for Spencer, Tucker, or Greta and I've pretty much forgotten the names of pretty much every character introduced in gens 5 through 8 other than rivals, gym leaders and champions
I started playing Ultra Sun again last month and completely forgotten about the Ultra Recon Squad.
I won't forget about them because they have a sick battle theme.
I feel like the 7 sages are pretty forgettable. Not as a collective but individuals. I can name 3 of the 7 only because of a recent gatorex video. From my memory (and what I skimmed in serebii) they didn't do much in the main story. In bw2, only Rood and the purple one are present in the main story and they don't do much. One gives you Zorua and the other you fight like twice. So maybe not those two but the others are forgettable for me.
Purple one is Zinzolin, btw. And yeah, I even run a Pokevillain discord and I don't know if anyone on it could name all the sages right away.
Yeah for a massive franchise like Pokemon, 25 years going strong, there will be some that slip through the cracks.
My suggestion for a forgotten character would be SwSh and that’s Nia. And not the sassy cat girl in Xenoblade, this Nia being the daughter of Peony in the crown tundra DLC. Being around your age and having some spats with her overbearing dad. Honestly she fits alongside Honey as being a character that is pretty forgotten, and is apart of the DLC so a lot less people would actually know of her since you need to buy that specific DLC. Would like to see her again possibly in Masters but she is pretty low on the list of “must adds” in Pokemon in general. Or he’ll just Galar. We have yet to have Victor get added in and for a protagonist, you would of expected him to be important and already in. So maybe he would be like Hilda and get added in as an adventurer who works with Peony, and in turn, Nia. I think that can be a good way to add her into Masters.
By Nia, I think you mean Peonia. Don’t get her confused with the Pokken Tournament character who is actually named Nia.
If you do spin offs then Mirakle B from Pokemon Colosseum is an obscure character. You can fight him after beating Miror B and backtracking back to where he was first fought to find an obscure fight.
You forget the Secret Base expert from ORAS, Aarune. He shows up, teaches you about Secret bases, and has a shop in Fortree Fortree secret base items but that's about it. He's got a unique character design as well
I remember loving collecting watts and even before isle of armour was released I collected 5 million watts so I immediately donated most of that to Honey and found out about the league card before I saw people talk about it online.
Gen 6 is so bad and forgotten with its characters than John didn’t even mention anyone of the Team Flare Admins names and also managed to completely skip over the Battle Chatelaines.
Well done, Kalos. Well done.
By "admins", do you mean the scientists or the nameless grunts in white? Because the latter are who are actually called "Team Flare Admins." No, I'm not joking. Go look it up.
Kalos, the definition of "quantity over quality."
Title: "The Pokemon Characters You Forgot Existed"
Me: Aight. Bet.
7:25 Okay. No Google. No Bulba. No freaking Emerald version either since I never owned it. Spenser...or was it Spensor. I forgot the spelling.
11:18 Oh man, these two look like something out of some kind of card-based anime. I remember Yancy for some reason, and I know there's a male counterpart for female MCs, but I never played B2W2 as Rosa.
13:44 Yeah no. I can't forget Honey. She's too hot to be forgettable.
Though this was probably intended as a game only list I’d like to remind people that Matori from the Pokémon anime exists.
Matori is secretary for team rocket / Giovanni. She has appeared in a non-cameo way in a total of 3 episodes since her introduction in the last episode of diamond and pearl arc. Though she has been used a lot more recently in team rocket episodes she is still not used all that much due to
A. She only appears during team rocket episodes, which even then only for a small bit of the run-time
B. She isn’t even guaranteed to appear in person in the episodes she appears in, usually only through call-ins with the team rocket trio (usually about how they’re doing work wise)
From what is shown of her though she generally presents as a serious person who takes her job extremely seriously. She is generally confident in what she’s does. She also has a minor rivalry(?) with Jessie, though most of the aggression comes from Jessie when they speak with each other.
As seen in “A little rocket R & R” in the journeys arc she has her own division of team rocket called the “Matori matrix” which is meant for missions that she is intended to carry out. though we can assume this doesn’t happen often because she is stated to be a secretary and not a division commander(?) in both the Japanese and English versions.
IMO Matori is very under-utilized in the anime, I feel she could give some insight into team rocket if they spent time on her. Though I recognize the Pokémon company probably won’t spend time on a minor reoccurring character that only appears sparingly it still disappoints me that nobody remembers her
A shame, because she has a pretty nice design. Nothing too outstanding, but it works very well.
If we're talking about anime characters then there's that girl that showed up in the first Pokemon song where pikachu ran under her and she covered her skirt. She's memorable for showing up in the opening song but never actually appearing in the anime at all.
Forgotten? Oh no, no... I'll NEVER forget Lucy and how she would show up halfway through a Battle Pike run I was determined on winning, just to crush my dreams.
You forgot the mayor from the crown tundra
The Maison Chatelaines from the the Battle Maison are so forgettable they didn’t even make the video.
Wishing you’d have shown her throwing the GMax Ball! That was an awakening for me 🤣🤣🤣
She just YEEETS it effortlessly. I have a feeling she was lying when she said the Max Soup has no effect on humans.
If I have to be honest mustards son is more forgetable than his wife lol
You want some more obscure Galar children? Here you go: Melony has a daughter with a somewhat unique design who's only seen in her concept art. Someone on DeviantArt even made fanart of her!
Lucy remains memorable to me mainly because she was the coolest girl to reciprocate Brock's feelings in the anime.
The Rocket Grunt you fight in the Kanto section of Heart Gold/Soul Silver that talks weird makes a comeback as an NPC in Black and White. He came to Unova to start a new chapter of Team Rocket, but ended up falling in love, starting a family, and going straight. He's in the house at the top of the snow hill in Icarrus city, so you can only reach him in Winter.
For the idea of Honen connection in FRLG waiting until post game the fact was the base game was Kanto pokemon only. I remember Golbat trying to evolve into Crobat but it wouldn't allow it do to so until you get the National Dex
I might’ve mentioned Eusine from HG/SS and Crystal. His appearances were pretty missable.
I legit knew spencers name right off without googling it
Nice try
Nobody ever remembers Roseanne. She was an assistant in Prof. Rowan's lab who even got her own TCG card.
There's also Teala, the woman who introduces you to the Wireless Club/Wi-fi Club in the Gen 3&4 games (except Ruby and Sapphire). Why they even bothered giving her a name, I have no idea.
