'''Curtis''' (Japanese: '''テツ''' ''Tetsu''), otherwise known under the screen name '''Christoph''' (Japanese: '''テンマ''' ''Tenma''), is a character that appears in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] if the {{player}}'s gender is female. He is the male counterpart to [[Yancy]].
 
==In the core series games==
Curtis is first encountered after the female player picks up the [[Dropped Item]] ([[Xtransceiver]]) in [[Nimbasa City]]. Upon obtaining the item, Curtis calls it and identifies himself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However he is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so he asks the female player to hold onto it until he is free from work.
 
He will call his Xtransceiver when the female player is in specific locations around [[Unova]]. After exchanging several phone calls, Curtis would note that his work involves traveling to [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] from time to time. The player's relation with Curtis increases as calls are made or received.
 
At the tenth call, Curtis would inform the player that he is finally free from work and would like to retrieve his [[Xtransceiver]] back in [[Nimbasa City]]. After returning his Xtransceiver, the game will randomly select one of the 15 areas where Curtis called the player initially, and the female player can call Curtis from anywhere in that area. This will happen every time Curtis is called from then on. After the thirtieth call, the player may join Curtis in a ride at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel<!--, where Curtis's cheek will grow red-->. After the first call of every next day, Curtis will ask the player for a Ferris Wheel ride, and if the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], he will offer to trade a Pokémon after the ride. Pokémon traded from him have [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]], are at [[level]] 50, and have no predetermined [[nature]], [[gender]], or [[individual values]]. It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.
 
From the 31st through 49th calls (except the Ferris-Wheel-ride calls), Curtis will say any of a variety of things. On the 50th call, his co-worker will accidentally pick up the phone, revealing Curtis in his working outfit.
 
Curtis, as Christoph, appears in various television shows as a celebrity idol, regardless of the player's gender.

== In the game ==
== Quotes ==
You can call Tetsu every other day at Nimbasa City. You may also receive calls at specific locations around Unova.
{{main|Curtis/Quotes}}


Your relation with Tetsu increase as you call/receive calls.
==In the manga==
[[File:Curtis Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Curtis in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Curtis debuted in ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'' as an up-and-coming rookie actor. He was hired by {{adv|White}} to replace {{adv|Blake}} after the latter turned down an offer to become an actor at [[Pokéstar Studios]].


At the 10th call, you may return the lost property to Tetsu.
Sometime later, Curtis was seen playing the role of {{p|Dewott}} Kid in a [[Brycen-Man Series|Brycen-Man]] film alongside [[Yancy]], who played {{p|Foongus}} Girl.
{{-}}


At the 30th call, you may join Tetsu in a ride and Tetsu's cheek will grow red.
==Trivia==
* As revealed through several [[Xtransceiver]] calls, Curtis's favorite hobby is [[fishing]].
* On TV as Christoph, it is revealed that his favorite sport is soccer.
* He is the type who likes to fish at his own pace.
* Even though Curtis claims he found a nice fishing spot and invites the female player on a fishing trip, he never follows through with that invitation.
* Curtis is said to have visited the [[Viridian Forest]] in [[Kanto]], [[Lake of Rage]] in [[Johto]], [[Meteor Falls]] in [[Hoenn]], and [[Eterna Forest]] and [[Lake Verity]] in [[Sinnoh]].
* When the player calls Curtis, or vice versa, the dialogue will be practically the same as Yancy's, but Curtis will word his sentences differently.
* Starting from the thirtieth call, Curtis's sprite will begin to blush when talking on the Xtransceiver with the female player, implying he has developed feelings for her. This is the same with [[Yancy]] when she's talking with the male player.


At the 50th call, you review's Tetsu's occupation and Tetsu will start trading pokemons with [[Hidden ability]] with you.

== Trivia ==
[[Category:Black 2 and White 2 characters]]
Tetsu's screen name ''テンマ'' sounds like "sky" + "horse" and while Ruri's screen name ''ラッコ'' has the same pronunciation as otter in Japanese.
