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


==In the core series==
He was named '''Black''' (Japanese: '''ブラック''' ''Black'') in certain pre-release material. English demos for Black and White refer to the character as '''Blair''', while English screenshots refer to him as '''Kuro'''. If a transferred Pokémon that has a trainer with a prohibited name comes from Black or Black 2, the Pokémon's OT will also 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.'').

Hilbert is a boy who lives in [[Nuvema Town]], as do his childhood friends, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]]. If chosen as the player, he will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. After setting off on his [[Pokémon journey]] at the same time as Cheren and Bianca, Hilbert will at some point be asked by [[Fennel]] to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Hilbert will receive a [[C-Gear]].
Hilbert is a 14-year-old boy who lives in [[Nuvema Town]], as do his [[Friend|childhood friends]], [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]]. If chosen as the player, he will receive a [[first partner Pokémon]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. After setting off on his [[Pokémon journey]] at the same time as Cheren and Bianca, Hilbert will at some point be asked by [[Fennel]] to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Hilbert will receive a [[C-Gear]].


As well as encountering and battling his childhood friends at various points during his journey, Hilbert 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 Hilbert will battle several times during the course of the game. Hilbert also battles [[Team Plasma]] at various stages of his journey. Ultimately, Hilbert is recognized as a hero by {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, depending on the version.

Hilbert, who is based on the [[player character]] from {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}, forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Oshawott}} and its evolved forms {{p|Dewott}} and {{p|Samurott}}, along with {{p|Mightyena}} and {{p|Genesect}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Hilbert became a playable sync pair on September 24, 2019.


==Artwork==
In this game, his reason for looking for {{mas|N}} during the events of {{B2W2}} is revealed to be due to N having left too suddenly for Hilbert to say goodbye to him, which is similar to what Hilbert's mom also says in Black 2 and White 2. Hilbert first appeared as an NPC during the eighteenth chapter of the [[PML Arc]]. He also made a notable appearance later in the [[Villain Arc]].

* Hilbert's name may be a reference to {{wp|David Hilbert}}, a German mathematician who developed {{wp|Hilbert's program}} in an attempt to prove mathematical truth. This is similar to the theme of truth and ideals throughout Black and White.
** This is also similar to [[N]]'s mathematical motifs.
* [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] appearance in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|Pokėmon the Series: Black and White]]'', is inspired by Hilbert's design. Ash's outfit is slightly altered, having a primarily white jacket with short sleeves and a light blue top; and his hat being white in the front and red in the back (being the inverse of Hilbert's).
