Twins (Trainer class): Difference between revisions

'''Twins''' (Japanese: '''ふたごちゃん''' ''Twins'') are a pair of [[Pokémon Trainer]]s that debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They are two identical young girls. In [[Generation II]], they fought in regular {{pkmn|battle}}s. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, they fight in [[Double Battle]]s. In [[Generation VII]], they are represented as a pair of female {{tc|Preschooler}}s.

 

They use {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that complement each other, such as {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} or {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Spinarak}}, or two Pokémon of the same species, such as a pair of {{p|Clefairy}} or a pair of {{p|Spinda}}. In Generation II, while impossible to have Double Battles, the Pokémon to be first sent into battle would vary depending on the Twin faced by the {{player}}.

* Because of how battle messages are formatted in the [[Generation II]] games, a grammatical error occurs where the game says "<sc>Twins [Name]&[Name]</sc> '''wants''' to battle!" and "<sc>Twins [Name]&[Name]</sc> '''was''' defeated."

* Even though Twins don't fight in [[Double Battle]]s in Generation II, they still have two Pokémon that are very similar or complete counterparts like in future generations.

* In {{game|Crystal}}, the pre- and post-battle text of Twins Lea & Pia leave off their names, making it unclear which twin is which. The same carried over for their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} counterparts, Kay and Tia. However, this is not a mistake, because Kay and Tia ask the player to guess which one is Tia and which is Kay before the battle, and say which one they are after being defeated.

* The fact that all Twins in the [[core series]] games are girls possibly refers to the fact that identical female twins are more common than male.
