Not much is known about Brock's early childhood, except that his {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was an {{TP|Brock|Onix}} he received as a {{pkmn2|gift}} at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father {{ka|Flint}} left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother [[Lola]] [[EP005#Dub edits|left them]] as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and the [[Pewter Gym]], by himself. However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to {{pkmn|journey}} with Ash and {{an|Misty}}. | Not much is known about Brock's early childhood, except that his {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was an {{TP|Brock|Onix}} he received as a {{pkmn2|gift}} at the age of 10.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather [[Pokémon training#Caretaking|care]] for Pokémon than {{pkmn|battle}} them.

Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a Breeder named [[Suzie]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest|Pokémon breeding competition]]. | ||
Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed. | Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[S02|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', he mentioned his work for her, though this line was added in the dub. After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father. | Brock briefly left the show during the [[S02|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]].

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the {{series|Advanced Generation}} ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned to travel with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]]. Near the end of the Sinnoh saga, Brock began to show interest in becoming a {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}}, and so, rather than following Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, decided to remain in Kanto to study. | After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

Brock made an appearance in [[SS025]] where it was revealed that, while waiting to attend a Pokémon medical school, he has been studying hard at home as well as helping out at the Pewter City [[Pokémon Center]]. In the episode, he played a major role in helping [[Forrest]] to officially become the [[Pewter City]] Gym Leader when it is revealed that his father never informed the [[Pokémon League]] of the title change. | |||

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it is the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy. | Brock has had two notable musical appearances.

Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling. | Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well.

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} this role was mostly taken over by Max, who owns a [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[Potion]]s, [[Pokémon food]], and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and {{pkmn|groomer|grooms}} not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends. | Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} this role was mostly taken over by Max, who owns a [[PokéNav]].

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhomena]], [[Temacu]], [[Natalie]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, [[Holly]], {{ | Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman.

A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhomena]], [[Temacu]], [[Natalie]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, [[Holly]], {{OBP|Autumn|DP062}}, [[Narissa]] and [[Lizabeth]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women. | ||
His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development, and his role has generally been one as support for other main characters, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action of the series. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. This caused him to question if he was actually pursuing his dreams like his friends were near the end of the {{series|DP}}, and ultimately lead to him deciding to become a {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}} instead. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to {{TRT}}'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. | His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development, and his role has generally been one as support for other main characters, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action of the series.

Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. This has been the center of fan attention for a long time. He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the anime, until {{an|Iris}} in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. | Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed.
