 ==In the manga==
-Most of the characters in Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}} are based on player and rival characters from the main series, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex Holder]]s, and the same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with [[Giovanni]]. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. {{adv|Wally}}, the closest thing to a third main character, was dropped in favor of this new character designed entirely from scratch. As of the [[Diamond & Pearl chapter (Adventures)|DP]] and [[Platinum chapter (Adventures)|Platinum chapters]], only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region.
+Many of the characters appearing in various Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}} are based on player and rival characters from the main series games. These characters usually play a major role within the series.
+[[Pokémon Adventures]] features many [[cross-canon counterparts]] for most of the player and rival characters in the games, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex Holder]]s. The same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with [[Giovanni]]. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. {{adv|Wally}}, the closest thing to a third main character, was dropped in favor of this new character designed entirely from scratch. As of the [[Diamond & Pearl chapter (Adventures)|DP]] and [[Platinum chapter (Adventures)|Platinum chapters]], only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region.
 Additionally, though {{ga|Lyra}} is almost universally accepted as a different character from {{ga|Kris}}, rather than a redesign like Ethan, {{Adv|Crystal}} has appeared wearing her clothes to serve as a counterpart, rather than introducing a second [[Johto]] female protagonist for the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.
+In addition to Pokémon Adventures characters, there are many characters that have very similar character designs as player or rival characters from the games. These include [[Red (Pocket Monsters)|Red]] from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], [[Rald]] from [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] and [[Black (Golden Boys)|Black]] from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]].
