Ash Ketchum

Ash is the main character in the Pokemon TV show. He lived in Pallet Town before he began his training. In the first episode, he is late to gat his first Pokemon, therefore must start out with an extra Pokemon Proffessor Oak had. He is not a very good trainer, but the show focuses on him, so you have to like him.

Misty

Misty and Ash met in the first episode when Ash and Pikachu were being chased by a flock of Spearows. In their getaway, they dive into a waterfall, and Misty, fishing on the shore at the bottom, fishes them out. She is a brat and hates when people insult here, so she gets really mad in every episode.

Brock

Brock is the Pewter City gym leader. On his second battle against him, Ash finally defeated Brock's powerful Onix when Pikachu shocked the gym too hard and the emergency water system kicked in. It weakened Onix and Pikachu finished it off. Brock joined the journey with Ash and Misty and always is the guy to solve problems and think up solutions.

Gary

Ash's arch rival, I'm surprised he hasn't become the world's top trainer. He's caught more kinds of Pokemon than anyone can say. He may be a good trainer, but his attitude could be better.

Nurse Joy

One in every major city, this kind lady serves Pokemon and their trainers by providing them food and shelter in their Pokemon Centers. Brock gets a major crush every time he meets one.

Officer Jenny

Officer Jenny is the "cop" of every town. Shealways does her duty and most of the time suspects Ash for one of Team Rockets evil plots.

Proffesor Oak

Oak is the Pokemon Prof. When Pokemon trainers begin their training in Pallet Town, Oak gives them their Pokemon. He always gives good advice and takes Ash's Pokemon when he catches his seventh Pokemon, eighth, and so on.

Jesse

Jesse , along with James, are members of Team Rocket. They have never succeeded in a mission, Ash and his pals always screw up their plans.

James

James is the weirdo of Team Rocket. He doesn't really have very good Pokemon, but I guess he is still part of Team Rocket...
