Cilan/Quotes

These are Cilan's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Black and White

Outside of the Gym

"Yes? Yes, I am a Gym Leader of this town. You are...? Right. You want to challenge the Gym. In that case... What was the first Pokémon you chose? <First partner>... I see. It's weak against <type>-type Pokémon. I think you need to prepare to face that type. I'll be waiting for you inside."

Striaton Gym

  • Entering the Gym
Cilan: "Welcome to the Striaton City Pokémon Gym."
Chili: "I'm Chili! I light things up with Fire-type Pokémon!"
Cress: "I'm a Water-type specialist, and my name is Cress. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
Cilan: "And my name is Cilan. I like Grass-type Pokémon."
Cilan: "Um, you see... As for why the three of us, um, are all here is, well, er..."
Chili: "Oh,enough! Listen up! The three of us will decide whom you'll battle! It'll be based on the type of the first Pokémon you chose!"
Cress: "That is indeed the case. And the partner you first chose was <type> type, it seems."
"...Uh hm. I always seem to lose the timing of... of the dance. Like that. True enough, I did want to... want to have a Pokémon battle with you."
"Nothing personal... No hard feelings... Me and my Grass-type Pokémon will...um... We're gonna battle come what may."
  • Before battle
"So, um, if you're OK with me, I'll, um, put everything I've got into being, er, you know, your opponent."
  • During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)
"Ah! My Pokémon!"
  • After sending his last Pokémon
"Huh? Could it be? Could I have only one Pokémon left?"
  • Being defeated
"Er... Is it over now?"
  • After being defeated
"...What a surprise. You...are very strong. Seems like not even Chili or Cress could beat you.."
  • After the battle (regardless of first partner Pokémon)
"Gym Badges are a proof of a Trainer's abilities. If you have one Badge, Pokémon, including traded Pokémon up to Lv. 20, will obey you without question. We also want you to have this. TM83 contains Work Up. If you use Work Up, the Pokémon's Attack and Sp. Atk go up! By the way, TMs can be used as many times as you want."
"In the Unova region, we are still novice Gym Leaders. Which means the other Gym Leaders are much stronger than we are. We'll need to work hard and improve."
  • Post-game
"In the Unova region, um, we are still novice Gym Leaders. Which means, well, that other Gym Leaders are much stronger than we are. Going...slow...and steady...is OK, so... we compete with one and get, um, stronger and stronger."

Badge Case

The fundamentals of Pokémon battling are type matchups! They're important!

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Memory Link - A Triple Team

  • Striaton Restaurant - Present
(to player) "Welcome to Striaton Restaurant! This place used to be a Pokémon Gym, but a lot has happened..."
(After speaking to the other brothers) "Well, why don't I tell you what happened..."
  • Striaton Trainers' School - Flashback
"Chili, are you listening to me? We have to study hard and become full-fledged Gym Leaders as soon as possible..."
"You think so? But it isn't that big of a deal. We may not have made it in time, but Team Plasma is still gone."
"Come on, you two... Don't you think it's a bit strange to get recognition and respect as Gym Leaders just for beating bad guys?"
"I mean... They were overwhelmingly strong."
(to Cress) "You're right. Chili. Cress. I think as long as the three of us act like the Gym Leaders we are now, nothing will ever change.'"
"All right. Let's resign as Gym Leaders and start our training over from the ground up. Then, I'm sure one of us will become a Trainer everyone recognizes as great."
  • End of flashback (if initiated by Cilan)
"Because of that day, we can truly aim for the top!"

Pokémon World Tournament

  • Before battle (first round)
"Nothing personal... No hard feelings... Me and my Grass-type Pokémon, um... We're gonna battle, come what may."
  • Before battle (second round)
"So, um, if you're OK with me, I'll, um, put everything I've got into being, er, you know, your opponent."
  • Before battle (final round)
"Nothing personal... No hard feelings... Me and my Grass-type Pokémon, um... We're gonna battle, come what may. I'm looking forward to battling with you."
  • Being defeated
"Huh? Is it over?"
  • If the player is defeated
"Huh? Did I win?"
  • After being defeated
"What a surprise... You are very strong, aren't you? I guess my brothers wouldn't have been able to defeat you either..."
  • After winning
"I guess...I suppose I won, because I've been competing with my brothers Chili and Cress, and we all were able to get tougher."
  • In the lobby, after the tournament
"Well...I'm just glad I was able to bring out the delectable charm of Grass-type Pokémon. I lost, though... Well, more importantly, congratulations!"

Striaton City - Striaton Restaurant

  • Asking to team up

(subsequent visits)"How about it? Would you like to team up with me and take part in a Double Battle?"
No: "…Ah, hmm. I must've timed… my invitation poorly… True enough, I did want to… to have a Pokémon battle with you."
Yes: "OK. If you're fine with me, I will put everything I have into being your partner in battle!"
  • Before battle
"OK… So, um, I'm Cilan, I like Grass-type Pokémon, and this is my partner here!"
  • After battle (victorious)
(on stage)"OK… So, um, I'm Cilan, I like Grass-type Pokémon, and this is my partner here!"

  • If loses to the player
"…Huh. Looks like my timing was, um, off?"
  • After battle (loses to the player)
