Barry (game): Difference between revisions

His father is [[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.

Barry's [[starter Pokémon]] depends on the {{player}}'s choice (he will choose the one that is strong against the player's), and the remainder of his team will be filled out based on this choice.

Barry forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Piplup}} and its evolved forms {{p|Prinplup}} and {{p|Empoleon}}, along with {{p|Roserade}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Barry became a playable sync pair since the game's release, with him joining the player after completing the second chapter of the [[PML Arc]].

In Diamond and Pearl, if the {{player}} chooses "NEW NAME" and leaves it blank, he will be automatically named Pearl (if the version being played is Diamond) or Diamond (if the version being played is Pearl). In Platinum, either Diamond or Pearl will be randomly selected. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, if the player chooses "I'll tell you..." and cancels, the player will simply be asked to select his name again.

Barry appeared in ''[[PE05|The Rival]]''. As he prepared to battle his father [[Palmer]] at the {{si|Battle Tower}}, he thought back to key moments in his journey: choosing {{p|Piplup}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] at [[Lake Verity]] alongside {{ga|Lucas}}, defeating [[Roark]] to earn his first [[Badge|Gym Badge]], losing a battle against [[Jupiter]] at [[Lake Acuity]], and getting revenge against her at the [[Spear Pillar]]. Eventually, he managed to defeat his father after a hard battle.

|desc={{p|Empoleon}} is Barry's main Pokémon and also his [[starter Pokémon]]. He obtained it as a {{p|Piplup}} at [[Lake Verity]]. Later, it helped him win his first [[Badge|Gym Badge]] by defeating [[Roark's Cranidos]]. After evolving into {{p|Prinplup}}, it battled against [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Skuntank}}, but lost. After fully evolving, it battled Skuntank again at the [[Spear Pillar]], this time emerging victorious. Later, when Barry challenged [[Palmer]] at the {{si|Battle Tower}}, Empoleon was his final Pokémon. It managed to defeat Palmer's {{p|Rhyperior}}, making Barry the winner.

* Barry possesses the highest-level Pokémon amongst all the [[rival]] characters, with his {{pkmn2|starter}} being able to grow up to level 85 in Pokémon Platinum. The only [[Non-player character|NPC]]-owned Pokémon outside of a [[battle facility]] that outlevel Barry's starter at its strongest are {{ga|Red}}'s level 88 {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and [[Cynthia]]'s level 88 {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
