* '''{{ga|Blue}}''' - Blue is the grandson of [[Professor Oak]] and is the main character's [[rival]] in the [[Generation I]] games. Blue becomes the [[Pokémon Champion]] but is quickly defeated by {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}, the [[player character|player's character]]. He is notable for being cocky and arrogant whenever the player's character encounters him; after losing, his typical way to bid goodbye is "Smell ya later!" | * '''{{ga|Blue}}''' - Blue is the grandson of [[Professor Oak]] and is the main character's [[rival]] in the [[Generation I]] games.

* '''[[Professor Rowan]]''' - Professor Rowan works in [[Sandgem Town]] with {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} and their family. This makes him the only Professor from the handheld games that does not live in the player's hometown. He left to go to [[Kanto]] to study Pokémon with [[Professor Oak]] for four years, until coming back reaching a conclusion: that [[Sinnoh]] holds greater secrets. He has a stern personality that makes him seem intimidating and mean, but he is actually very kind and patient. He also has lots of energy as being shown when he was attacked by Team Galactic he tried to fight back (he was very tough apparently and hard to handle when he fought back). | * '''[[Professor Rowan]]''' - Professor Rowan works in [[Sandgem Town]] with {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} and their family.

He is incredibly determined and it is very difficult to discourage him; the only thing that has done this so far was his crushing loss to the [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Commander}}, [[Jupiter]] at [[Lake Acuity]]. Barry is also one to take risks and quickly jump into action; it was this behavior that caused the player and himself to be attacked by [[wild]] {{P|Starly}}, setting off the chain reaction that would result in the player receiving his/her first Pokémon. | ||
* '''[[Looker]]''' - Looker is the codename for a character introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, Looker is an important character, encountering the {{player}} multiple times over their journey across [[Sinnoh]]. He speaks with odd grammatical constructs, implying that he is not a native speaker of the {{pkmn|nation}}al language. He first meets the player in [[Jubilife City]], giving them the [[Vs. Recorder]], and appears often when Team Galactic is near. His motives are clear: his mission is to stop Team Galactic from causing havoc in the Sinnoh region. | * '''[[Looker]]''' - Looker is the codename for a character introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.
