Most of the characters in Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}} are based on player and rival characters from the main series, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex Holder]]s, and the same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with [[Giovanni]]. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. | Most of the characters in Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}} are based on player and rival characters from the main series, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart.

As of the [[Diamond & Pearl chapter (Adventures)|DP]] and [[Platinum chapter (Adventures)|Platinum chapters]], only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region. | ||
Additionally, though {{ga|Lyra}} is almost universally accepted as a different character from {{ga|Kris}}, rather than a redesign like Ethan, {{Adv|Crystal}} has appeared wearing her clothes to serve as a counterpart, rather than introducing a second [[Johto]] female protagonist for the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}. | Additionally, though {{ga|Lyra}} is almost universally accepted as a different character from {{ga|Kris}}, rather than a redesign like Ethan, {{Adv|Crystal}} has appeared wearing her clothes to serve as a counterpart, rather than introducing a second [[Johto]] female protagonist for the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}. | ||
