'''Barry''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is the [[rival]] character in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==In the games==

===Role===

====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====

Barry is also one to take risks and quickly jump into action; it was this behavior that caused the player and himself to be attacked by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Starly}}, setting off the chain reaction that would result in the player receiving his/her first Pokémon.

His father is {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, one of the Sinnoh {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}'s five [[Frontier Brain]]s. Barry wants to be like him, which is the reason he is so determined and trains hard. Barry is actually very much like his father characteristic-wise. Both he and Palmer are constantly in a hurry, running into people (including the player), and both seem to react the same way when they happen to run into people.

====Pokémon Platinum====

In addition to his hyperactive personality, it is shown in the beginning of Platinum, he also gets distracted very easily. In the events of Platinum, Barry suggests going to visit Professor Rowan at his lab rather than go to the lake in search of a Pokémon of the same rarity as a [[red Gyarados]] (as happened in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}). When Professor Rowan questions {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and Barry on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} about going into the [[tall grass]] without any Pokémon, deeming it reckless and wondering if such people were well-suited for Pokémon, Barry admits it was his idea and says that his friend should at least get a Pokémon if not him. After this, Professor Rowan gives them both Pokémon, much to Barry's excitement.

* In his room

;{{rt|201|Sinnoh}}

:* If spoken to

::''"I wish I could grow tougher with this little guy..."''

::''"I don't feel like talking... Let's go. ...Are we maybe walking slower than when we went to the lake?"''

:''"Hey <player>! Did you come to study, too? I went ahead and memorized everything that was up on the blackboard. After all, it's the Trainer's job to avoid having their precious Pokémon hurt in battle, right? So, <player>, what brings you here? Huh? You've got something for me?"''

:''"So, what is this...? Score! It's a [[Town Map]]! Huh?! Why are there two in here? I like it a lot, but I don't need two. Here, <player>, you take one!"''

* When his last Pokémon is at low health

* Upon defeat

* After battle

;[[Canalave City]]

::''"...! It's OK, though. <player>, the tougher you get, the tougher we can get, too. There's no end to Pokémon. That's what I'm saying, <player>!"''

;{{Rt|227|Sinnoh}}

:''"What?! You can ask a hundred times! The answer will never change! We'll both answer a hundred times, we love Pokémon! Right, <player>?"''

::'''{{tt|No|Barry will repeat sentence above}}''': ''"... That joke's getting old!"''

:''"Really?! Prof. Rowan! I can't believe it! I'm so happy now that I can't keep a straight face! Hey, <player>. You can choose first. Hey, I'm practically a grown-up. I have to show some class here."''

:''"Whew! Let's go home. I'm beat after that battle. My Pokémon needs rest, too. See ya, <player>!"''

:''"Too slow! <player>, I'm sick of waiting! I'm going to go see Prof. Rowan, so I can thank him properly. So, I had this great idea. Listen up, OK? You know the lake where we always play at? You know they say a legendary Pokémon lives there? You guessed it! Let's catch that Pokémon. That'll make Prof. Rowan happy. I'm sure of that! Me and you together, we've got nothing to fear!"''

:''"That Pokémon battle... Wasn't that wickedly fun or what? I mean, I'd pick the moves, and my Pokémon would use them! Yeah, I'm going to battle tons and get real close with Pokémon."''

:''"Pokémon all have different moves, huh? A Trainer makes his Pokémon battle by ordering them to use moves. That’s so awesomely cool."''

:''"Hey, do you know about the Champion? There's this out-of-this-world tough Trainer who gets call that. Well, I'm gonna get so tough, the Champ has to battle me. You watch! With this little guy here, I'm sure I can get that tough."''

:''"Hey that's enough talking already. I'm itching to get going to the lake. Come on, come on!"''

;Verity Lakefront

* After battle

;[[Solaceon Town]]

;Pastoria City

* Before battle

:''"Whoops! Hehehe! I'm not going to plow into you every time we meet! So how's it going, <player>? Buffing up your Pokémon, eh? I'll test you and your Pokémon out to see how buff and tough you are!"''

* All Japanese default names for Barry come from game staff members' first names. They are all listed in the game's credits. Jun is from '''[[Junichi Masuda]]''', production director and music composer. Shigeru is from '''Shigeru Ōmori''', game design leader. Kōji comes from '''[[Kōji Nishino]]''', a game designer. Toshinobu is from '''[[Toshinobu Matsumiya]]''', game scenario author. Hisashi is from '''Hisashi Sogabe''', battle system programmer. Sōsuke is from '''Sōsuke Tamada''', field system programmer.

* Although Barry can only be battled on weekends, if the player saves the game in front of him on a Sunday in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, he can still be battled on weekdays if the player does not leave the Fight Area during the periods of time in between. This was corrected in {{game|Platinum}}.

* In Pokémon Platinum, Barry's {{p|Heracross}} has the [[Ability]] {{a|Guts}} when fought in [[Canalave City]] but has {{a|Swarm}} in all subsequent battles.
