'''Leaf''' (Japanese: '''リーフ''' ''Leaf'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Red}}. While Leaf shares many similarities with {{ga|Green}}, it has not been officially confirmed whether Green is an incarnation of Leaf, a [[cross-canon counterpart]], or a separate character entirely.
 
==Terminology==
In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], '''Leaf''' (Japanese: '''リーフ''' ''Leaf'') is her placeholder name, which is only in the internal game data and not seen in normal gameplay. (In the same section of the game data, the male player character's placeholder name is "Red".) In Pokémon LeafGreen, this is one of several possible [[#Optional names|names]] (in both English and Japanese) suggested for the player character (male or female) if the player leaves their name blank when starting a [[new game]].
 
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the female player character is named '''Fire'''{{sup/3|FR}} or '''Leaf'''{{sup/3|LG}} (while the {{ga|Red|male player character}} is named Red{{sup/3|FR}} or Green{{sup/3|LG}}).


==Story==
In the E3 2004 trailer for FireRed and LeafGreen (which is in English), "Leaf" is used as the name of the female player character, in contrast to "Red" for the male player character.<ref>[https://youtu.be/VnweBRQd9ao E3 trailer of ''Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions'']</ref>
{{spoilers}}
===In Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue===
Though Leaf didn't appear in a game until [[Generation III]], an artwork of an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Female main character|unknown female character]] drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]] was released in the games' official strategy guide. The same character was featured in the Pokémon Craft DX magazine, drawn by Emiko Yoshino. This character shared many physical similarities with Leaf, and was also featured with {{p|Squirtle|a starter Pokémon}}, implying she was intended to be a main character.


===In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
The name '''Leaf''' (English and Japanese versions) is officially used for her Kotobukiya ARTFX J figurine<ref>[https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/product/product-0000003255/ "ARTFX J Leaf with Squirtle" on Kotobukiya] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://en.kotobukiya.co.jp/product/product-0000003255/ "Pokémon LEAF with ZENIGAME ARTFX STATUE" on Kotobukiya] (English)</ref> and the Bandai Pokémon Scale World collection,<ref>[https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2019/1000136258.html "Pokémon Scale World - Kanto: Leaf & Clefairy & Gengar" on Bandai] (Japanese)</ref> both of which were released in 2019 (fifteen years after her introduction in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen). In 2020, she debuted in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], using {{mas|Leaf|the same name}}.
====As the player character====
Leaf's adventure begins after [[Professor Oak]] calls her to his lab and gives her a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. {{ga|Blue}} challenges Leaf to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives each of them a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill their dream of capturing every kind of Pokémon.


Leaf travels all over Kanto, filling in the Pokédex and defeating the [[Gym Leader]]s. Her [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede her progress. When Leaf eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], she finds that Blue has beaten her to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Leaf defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the Champion herself. Her adventure continues even after that, with Leaf discovering new places, such as the [[Sevii Islands]].
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the female version of the character known only as "{{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}}" is based on Leaf.


Leaf's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Leaf clashes with Team Rocket many times in her quest. She defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Leaf protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After she foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Leaf encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Leaf stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Leaf on [[Five Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to [[Generation II|try to revive the group]].
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a similar character named '''{{ga|Green}}''' (Japanese: '''ブルー''' ''Blue'') appears, although it has not been confirmed whether Leaf and Green are the same character. If Leaf and Green are different characters in the games, then Leaf remains unnamed in all [[core series]] games and their manuals. This name has also been long used for {{adv|Green}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga before the introduction of Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.  


====As a non-player character====
The name "Leaf" has long been used by fans, even before it saw mainstream official use in merchandise and Pokémon Masters. Leaf is also sometimes referred to as '''フグリ''' (''Fuguri'') in the Japanese fandom, being derived from the katakana rendering of "LeafGreen" (リー'''フグリ'''ーン ''rī'''fugurī'''n'').
When not selected as the player character, Leaf does not appear in the game. Whether or not Leaf exists in this case is unknown.


===In other games===
In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, her placeholder name has the syllables reversed: she is known as "Jaho" instead of "Hoja" (while her {{ga|Red|male counterpart}} is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo").
Leaf makes a cameo appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While she does not appear in the games' Story Mode, she is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used with her as the player character. She can take on [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.

When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says "Right... So your name is <optional name>.", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 21 names in total, but there are two exclusive to FireRed and two exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

{{adv|Green}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, who appears to be based on an [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Female player character|unused female player character]] from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, is widely considered to be Leaf's counterpart in the manga. This is supported by the fact that Green's outfit eventually changes to match Leaf's in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}.
{{adv|Green}} from [[Pokémon Adventures]] serves as Leaf's counterpart, taking on Leaf's appearance from the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}} onwards. She starts out as a mischievous thief and con artist, but later reforms her ways.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Leaf's hat somewhat resembles a {{ball|Premier}}.
[[File:RGB guidebook.jpg|thumb|200px|Cover of the Pocket Monsters Red, Green, and Blue guidebook]]
* An artwork of an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Female character|unnamed female character]] drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]] was released in {{game|Red and Green|s}}'s official strategy guide, released in April 1996.<ref>[https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4091025366 ポケットモンスター―任天堂公式ガイドブック] - Amazon.co.jp (Japanese)</ref> This artwork also appears on the cover of a revised version of the guidebook that includes the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] as well.<ref>[https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4091025684 ポケットモンスター 赤・緑・青全対応] - Amazon.co.jp (Japanese)</ref>
** According to Sugimori, she was not originally planned as a player character. He wanted to portray a trio of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s facing off against each other, hence designed the female character for the cover.<ref>[https://twitter.com/super_32x/status/269844962118610945 Twitter - Sugimori on the origins of the unknown female character] (Japanese)</ref>
** The female character was later adapted for the Pokémon Craft DX magazine drawn by Emiko Yoshino, as well as {{adv|Green}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]] (released 11 months after the original artwork), Leaf in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (8 years after the original artwork), and {{ga|Green}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] (22 years after the original artwork).
** Sugimori noted that he took the unnamed female character into consideration when he was designing the female protagonist for {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. He also mentioned that the FireRed and LeafGreen female protagonist did not have a name at the time of his writing, in November 2012.<ref>[https://twitter.com/super_32x/status/269847118754217986 Twitter - Sugimori on designing the FRLG female protagonist] (Japanese)</ref>

* The French version for [[Green's Exploration (Unbroken Bonds 175)|Green's Exploration]] mistakenly refers to the character as Leaf instead of Green. This inconsistency does not exist in the French version of Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's go, Eevee!
===Name origin===
Although "Leaf" is by far the name she is most commonly known by among English-speaking fans, she had no official given name until the reveal of the Kotobukiya ArtFx J figurine featuring her as リーフ ''Leaf''. The name's popularity stems from its usage as a placeholder name for the character in Trainer data on the ROMs of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but this derivation is contentious because, by way of contrast, the equivalent name for the rival {{ga|Blue}} ("Terry") does not match any of his canonical names. That inconsistency leads some fans to prefer the name of her {{adv|Green|Adventures counterpart}} as a more logical choice ("Green"/"Blue"<sup>JP&KOR</sup>).


She is also sometimes referred to as '''''Fuguri''''' (フグリ) in the Japanese fandom. The name is derived from the katakana rendering of ''LeafGreen'', リー'''フグリ'''ーン (rī'''fugurī'''n).
