Tracey Sketchit: Difference between revisions

In ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', he expressed that his favorite type of Pokémon was {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, much to Misty's dislike. During their time on [[Murcott Island]], the group came upon an elderly and injured {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}. Tracey ended up building a strong bond with Scyther and was able to defeat [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]]. In the end, Tracey decided to add Scyther to his team.

During his time at Professor Oak's [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], Tracey hasn't had that many appearances. He does various chores around the lab such as feeding the Pokémon and cleaning. He has befriended many of the Pokémon that reside at the lab, in particular [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. He helps take care of the {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|Pokémon}} that Ash leaves at the lab and sometimes has them help him with chores.

Tracey is a lot like {{an|Brock}} in many aspects. Like Brock, Tracey does have broad knowledge about Pokémon. This has helped him and his friends in their journey many times along the way. Also, similarly to Brock, he seems to have a soft spot for pretty girls, but to a much less extreme degree. Unlike Brock, Tracey seems to have some standards as he tends to be more drawn towards women who exhibit strength and courage rather than just any pretty girl he sees. Also, he is more self-conscious and doesn't go overboard about them as Brock does. He expresses his interest by simply drawing them.

There have been a rare incidents where Tracey was seen losing his temper. In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Misty comments that she doesn't know how famous Professor Oak is and Tracey barks back at her, saying that Professor Oak is the most respected researcher on the entire planet. Another time this happened was in ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'' when a boy named {{ka|Gilbert}} said that he wouldn't want to have the annoyance of raising a Pokémon himself. Angered, Tracey yelled at him saying that training Pokémon was the most important part of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He also lost his temper in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', desperate to go see Professor Oak, where he yelled at Ash, Misty, and Brock for babbling, and again in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', when the [[Magikarp salesman]] tried to sell him a Magikarp.

Like Tracey has admiration for Professor Oak, [[Max]] seems to have an admiration for him. He complimented Tracey on his artwork and told him how lucky he was to be working with Professor Oak, and even wished that he could draw Pokémon one day.

 

 

Tracey has some tricks of the trade when it comes to Pokémon watching. To avoid being detected by the Pokémon he's observing, he always makes sure that he approaches it from downwind to avoid his scent being picked up by his subject, and changes his breathing rhythm to match the Pokémon's so that he will not be heard.

Tracey does not appear to train his Pokémon for competitions, however, they are still important in his fieldwork. His Marill has excellent hearing and is able to detect faint sounds, while Venonat has radar-like eyes that are usually able to locate hidden Pokémon. His Scyther is his only Pokémon used solely for battling.
