'''Hilda''' (Japanese: '''トウコ''' ''Touko'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Hilbert}}.
 
==Terminology==
The name '''Hilda''' (Japanese: '''トウコ''' ''Touko'') comes from her NPC appearance in the Battle Subway. It is also her most commonly used name, being used in merchandising and the {{g|Masters EX}} [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]].


==In the games==
She was named '''White''' (Japanese: '''ホワイト''' ''White'') in certain pre-release material. English demos for Black and White refer to the character as '''Whitlea''', while English screenshots refer to her as '''Shiro'''. If a transferred Pokémon that has a trainer with a prohibited name comes from Black or Black 2, the Pokémon's OT will be set to '''Kuro''' (Japanese: '''ブラック．''' ''Black.''), while Pokémon from White or White 2 will have their OT set to '''Shiro''' (Japanese: '''ホワイト．''' ''White.'')
Touko is a girl who lives in [[Kanoko Town]], as do her childhood friends, [[Cheren]] and [[Bel]]. If chosen as the player, she will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Araragi]]. After setting off on her [[Pokémon journey]] at the same time as Cheren and Bel, Touko will at some point be asked by [[Makomo]] to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Touko will receive a [[C-Gear]].


As well as encountering and battling her childhood friends at various points during her journey, Touko will also meet a man known as [[N]], who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Touko will battle several times during the course of the game. Touko will also battle [[Team Plasma]] at various stages of her journey.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Before the advent of Touko's official name, she was known by the fan-made name White.
* [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 beta#Pokémon World Tournament|Unused text]] in {{B2W2}} indicates that Hilda and {{ga|Hilbert}} were originally planned to be battled at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
**However, her manga counterpart in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga is named White.
* Hilda and Hilbert are the first [[player character]]s in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}} not to have pre-programmed names either by choice or in case one isn't specified.
===Name origin===
* In the May 2010 volume of [[CoroCoro]] Comics and the January 2011 volume of Nintendo Dream, it was stated that Hilda and Hilbert are older than previous player characters, but it is not said how much older they actually are.
The origin of her name is speculated to be a combination of the word "tou" (透, meaning transparent and with the implication of being untainted) and the female name suffix "ko" (子).
** According to game scenario author [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]], Hilda and Hilbert were initially visualized to be at the age of 16.<ref>[http://archive.is/THahx Twitter | マツミや @matsumiyan]</ref>

Hilda (Japanese: トウコ Touko) is the female player character in Pokémon Black and White. Her male counterpart is Hilbert.

Terminology

The name Hilda (Japanese: トウコ Touko) comes from her NPC appearance in the Battle Subway. It is also her most commonly used name, being used in merchandising and the Pokémon Masters EX spin-off game.

She was named White (Japanese: ホワイト White) in certain pre-release material. English demos for Black and White refer to the character as Whitlea, while English screenshots refer to her as Shiro. If a transferred Pokémon that has a trainer with a prohibited name comes from Black or Black 2, the Pokémon's OT will be set to Kuro (Japanese: ブラック． Black.), while Pokémon from White or White 2 will have their OT set to Shiro (Japanese: ホワイト． White.)

In the core series games

Pokémon Black and White

As the protagonist

Hilda is a 14-year-old girl who lives in Nuvema Town, along with her childhood friends Cheren and Bianca. If chosen as the player, she will receive a first partner Pokémon and a Pokédex from Professor Juniper. After setting off on her Pokémon journey at the same time as Cheren and Bianca, Hilda will at some point be asked by Fennel to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Hilda will receive a C-Gear.

As well as encountering and battling her childhood friends at various points during her journey, Hilda will also meet a young man known as N, who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Hilda will battle several times during the course of the game. Hilda will also battle Team Plasma at various stages of her journey. At the game's climax, Hilda is recognized as a hero by ReshiramB/ZekromW.

As a non-playable character

If not chosen as the player, Hilda appears as the player's partner in the Battle Subway when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants her to base her team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Hilda's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

In Black 2 and White 2, the protagonist of Black and White was said to be searching for N in a faraway region and has not yet returned home. Her mom mistakes the player for her.

These Pokémon will always have the maximum 31 individual values across every stat and the full 510 effort values evenly distributed (rounding down) among two or three stats.
