Cedric Juniper/Quotes

These are Cedric Juniper's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Black and White

Mistralton City: "Oh! Hey! <Player>, right? Let me see your Pokédex for a moment. What do we have here? So, you've found <number> Pokémon, eh? Staggering! You've seen a Klink! You're becoming quite the Trainer. Excuse me! I was a little excited and forgot my manners. My name is Juniper, too! Cedric Juniper. Heh! The professor who gave you the Pokédex is my daughter! That girl has told me a lot about you. It really makes my day to meet you! In honor of our meeting, I'm going to upgrade your Pokédex! Some Pokémon can change forms even when it's the same individual. If you have already seen a form, you can check it with this whenever you want. I also added a function to make searching easier."; "Oh! I forgot my introductions! Skyla, this is a friend of my daughter's. <Player> is traveling around Unova to complete the Pokédex."; "That's right, <player>. You should challenge this Gym! If nothing else, this Gym is really out there! See you, Skyla. If something comes up again, I'll let you know!"; "Aww, Skyla. If you keep frowning, your face might freeze like that, and that'd be a shame. People and Pokémon, we all have to help each other out! See you later!"

Icirrus City

"Hello, <player>! How is <lead Pokémon>? Ah! This <lead Pokémon> has really taken a shine to you. The Pokédex is important, but time spent having fun together is also important. Say, I just had a thought--have you heard of Dragonspiral Tower?"

Yes: "Really? Quite impressive."

No: "Eh... I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it."

"OK. Give this story a listen. Dragonspiral Tower is said to be the Unova region's oldest building. Stories say it's the place where legendary Pokémon came to life or where they remain in deep slumber. I know it's just past Icirrus City, but that's all I know about it. That's all anyone knows, because no one has ever been inside. My daughter has wanted to investigate that tower for a long time. "What! There's something I don't know?!" That kind of feeling is pure adventure. And I'm not too old for some adventuring. Away I go to have a look at Dragonspiral Tower! Catch you later!"

Dragonspiral Tower: "That building serenely towering over everything is Dragonspiral Tower. From far in the past, before Unova was founded, it still stands tall today. On the top floor, so it's been told, the legendary Pokémon is waiting for a person pursuing ideals^B/seeking the truth^W to appear."

After getting the Freeze Badge

"Oh, <player>! And you must be Bianca. I'm the other Professor Juniper. The Professor Juniper who gave you the Pokédex is my daughter."

"Is that right? Grand, grand. Actually, we should chat later. <Player>, Bianca, here's the situation. Some members of Team Plasma--quite a large group--broke through the tower wall and went inside. Brycen and that young man--I believe his name is Cheren--the two of them went after Team Plasma, but..."

"Ha! I guess you would be curious. Well, I'll explain briefly. Dragonspiral Tower has stood tall since long before Unova was founded. On the top floor, the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon waits for a person pursuing ideals^B/seeking truth^W to appear... That's what is said. Are you going to go after Team Plasma like your friend did? It's admirable of you to join the fight against Team Plasma, but it's risky, too."

"Why, thank you! That makes me feel much safer! Well, <player>! It's up to you! Climb the tower!"

"This is all I can give you, but it might help you rest!"

"Still... What could Team Plasma be after?"

After N obtains Zekrom^B/Reshiram^W

"Astounding... I never would have imagined the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon would return now..."

"Why, if it isn't Alder! It's been a while! Have you been well?"

"Right... Moreover, the boss of Team Plasma, N, who reawakened Zekrom^B/Reshiram^W, apparently said to look for the other Pokémon, Reshiram^B/Zekrom^W."

"I see. We'll leave that to you. I'm going to investigate inside the tower. Hopefully, I'll find something."

"Maybe I should have my daughter look into when this tower was built. If you want someone to investigate the origin of Pokémon, she's the best."

Nacrene City: "Surely... When I investigated Dragonspiral Tower, I found elements that were dated to the same era as this Light Stone^B/Dark Stone^W!"; "... So how do we wake the Dragon-type Pokémon from the stone, then?"; "Hey, <player>. Never forget that you always have Pokémon right by your side."

Nuvema Town: "Oh! Well, this is nice timing! I see you're all here! Just a moment ago, I got some National Pokédex data from an acquaintance. Since you're here, let's upgrade your Pokédex with the National Pokédex data. I'm sure you'll be visiting a wider range of places, Naturally, that means you'll be encountering more Pokémon. Let me see your Pokédex for a sec!"; "There you go, Bianca!"; "Next up is Cheren!"; "And last, but not least..."; "You can now switch your Pokédexes to National Mode Pokédex. Completing the National Pokédex will surely be a big challenge. So, take your time, enjoy yourselves, and meet lots of Pokémon."

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Aspertia City: "Oh, so you're <player>! My name's Juniper! The one who gave you your Pokédex is my daughter!"; "Has it been that long? I can't remember... Well, that's not really why I came."; "<player>! To commemorate your entering the Hall of Fame, I'm going to upgrade your Pokédex!"; "I'll tell you what I upgraded, so why don't you ask? Well, actually, it's really simple! I made it so you can register all of the National Pokédex Pokémon."; "Ha ha ha! Flattery won't get you anywhere! Well then, think I'd best be taking my leave! Listen up! There are still many, many Pokémon in this world! Sometimes Pokémon attack each other for food. Sometimes they help one another. They protect each other's places. I'd be happy if you think about things like that while looking at the Pokédex."

Nuvema Town: "Hey, <player>! Are you meeting lots of Pokémon? There really are lots of Pokémon in the Unova region and the rest of the world! I made the Habitat List so people would know that! I'll bet you're here because... You're here to show me how your Pokédex is coming along, right?"; "Oh, that's right! I completely forgot to give this to you in Aspertia! Here, this is the Super Rod!"; "With this Super Rod, you can even catch Pokémon who live underwater! Here, I'll read you the directions. First... Face the water and cast! Second... Con-cen-trate! When a Pokémon bites, you'll see a "!" That means start reeling in! So cool!"

Dragonspiral Tower

Before receiving the Stone from N

"Two years ago... On the top floor of this tower... One lone man faced a legendary Pokémon. His name was N. He sought Zekrom^B2/Reshiram^W2 in order to understand his ideals^B2/the truth^W2. I wonder if he succeeded in discovering his ideals^B2/the truth^W2."

After receiving the Stone from N

"We still don't know anything about it. Could the Dragonspiral Tower somehow symbolize ideals? Could it somehow represent truth?"

"So you came here as well!"

"It was two years ago... In this tower, a certain man and a certain Pokémon came face-to-face. This man pursued his ideals^B2/sought the truth^W2 so he could change the world."

"That's right. This building rising serenely into the sky is the Dragonspiral Tower. It has towered over this land since before Unova was founded. On the highest floor, the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon was waiting for the appearance of a person seeking his or her ideals^B2/the truth^W2... It was exactly how the legends said it would be..."

"Ah! The Dark Stone^B2/Light Stone^W2! If that's the case, you must be headed to the top floor. Changing the world... That's an outrageous idea, but it is possible to change yourself. ...As long as you pursue your ideals^B2/seek the truth^W2. My! That conversation sure took a serious turn! Maybe something light and sweet would help balance things out!"

"Be seeing you!"

Pokédex evaluation

Note: Cedric evaluates only National Pokédex. Event Pokémon count towards evaluation, unless noted otherwise. The same quotes exist in both Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.

"Hey, <player>! So you're here to show me how your Pokédex is coming along, right?"

No: "Oh, really... If you want me to have a look at your Pokédex, come here again!"

Yes: "I see! You've caught <number> Pokémon, then... <evaluation quote>"

0-39

"Nationally, there are more than 600 Pokémon! You'll have to be persistent and catch them at your own pace."

40-79

"First, you might want to revisit places you've already been. Retrace your steps in the Unova region and see what new Pokémon turn up!"

80-119

"Remember Rule No. 1! To catch a Pokémon, you first have to reduce its HP. You're pretty good at this now, but don't forget the basics!"

120-159

"Are you going to the Day Care? I've heard that some Pokémon can only be caught if they are hatched from Eggs.

160-199

"Do you have a fishing rod? There are many Pokémon that live in the water. Try searching rivers and oceans!"

200-249

"Do you know the move False Swipe? False Swipe always leaves a tiny bit of the targeted Pokémon's HP. It's great for catching, because it doesn't make them faint!"

250-299

"Do you know the move Mean Look? If you use Mean Look on a Pokémon, it can't run away!"

300-349

"There are several ways for Pokémon to evolve. Some Pokémon even evolve through friendship!"

350-399

"Have you heard of mass outbreaks? Big groups of Pokémon appear during a mass outbreak. It's a great chance to catch them!"

400-449

"You've caught more than 400 different Pokémon?! That's incredible! You're an amazing Trainer!"

450-499

"Apparently, some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up in a certain area."

500-549

"You've caught 500 different Pokémon... My, the variation of these beings called Pokémon certainly is surprising! And the fact that you've caught so many different kinds... That's pretty surprising, too!'

550-599

"Have you been to the Poké Transfer Lab on Route 15? Mastering a facility like that is an accomplishment for a Pokémon Trainer."

600-614

"Just a little more until you complete your Pokédex, huh? Catching this many Pokémon must mean... You really like Pokémon, don't you!"

615-629

"Oh! That's a wonderful Pokédex. How about it? Would you research Pokémon with me?"

630-648 (at least one non-event Pokémon is missing*)

"Oh! Just a little more until your Pokédex is complete! Make sure you go after the roaming Pokémon and trade with friends to get the ones you're missing!"

636-649 (all non-event Pokémon caught)

...

This blows me away! It's so wonderful, I'm at a loss for words. You... You've accomplished something truly outstanding. Filling up the National Pokédex makes you a Trainer among Trainers! I'm so happy I was able to meet a fantastic Trainer like you! I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
