==Counterparts==
==Counterparts==
Kris, like the other in-game characters, has an anime counterpart in {{jo|Marina}}. However, the two are not interchangeable and neither name applies to both, much like the case with {{Ash}} and {{ga|Red}}.
[[File:Marina Johto.png|thumb|220px|{{jo|Marina}}, Kris's anime counterpart]]
===In the anime===
{{main|Marina (Johto)}}
{{jo|Marina}}, one of the main characters in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', is the {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart of Kris. She is a talented [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and a former [[Grand Festival]] winner.
 
===In the manga===
====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
{{Main|Crystal (Adventures)}}
{{adv|Crystal}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga is based on Kris's design. She is unique among all [[Pokédex holder]]s in the sense that her primary goal is to fill the [[Pokédex]].


Kris's other counterparts include {{adv|Crystal}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and {{GnB|Chris}} from the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]] manga. However, her counterpart is absent in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].
====In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga====
{{Main|Chris (Golden Boys)}}
{{GnB|Chris}} from the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]] manga is based on Kris.
