Barry (game): Difference between revisions

Barry, like the player, lives in [[Twinleaf Town]] and is also the player's childhood friend (and soon-to-be [[rival]]). Barry is always in a hurry and extremely impatient, and because of this, often crashes into other people (usually demanding a fine from them) or misses important details. It is revealed in the beginning of Platinum, he gets distracted very easily.

Barry is incredibly determined and it is very difficult to discourage him; the only thing that has done this so far was his crushing loss to the [[Team Galactic]] [[Commander]], [[Jupiter]] at [[Lake Acuity]], although this defeat lead to a major positive change in Barry's character, causing him to become slightly more serious, realistic, and mature. He is also quite the braggart, often boasting about his battling prowess or how cool his Pokémon are. Barry ''does'' have a soft side however, as seen after the wild Starly attack.

Barry is also one to take risks and quickly jump into action; it was this behavior that caused the player and himself to be attacked by [[wild]] {{p|Starly}}, setting off the chain reaction that would result in the player receiving his/her first Pokémon.

After becoming the [[Sinnoh]] [[Pokémon champion|League Champion]], the player can find him training at [[Stark Mountain]] during the week, and at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends in {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, ready to battle. He can be found at the [[Survival Area]] every day in {{v2|Platinum}} but he can only be battled on weekends. He desires to get into the [[Battleground]], even asking [[Crasher Wake]]'s help. Unlike the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}, Barry did not receive a Pokédex, due to him rushing out of [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab before Rowan could give him one.

His father is {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, one of the Sinnoh {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}'s five [[Frontier Brain]]s. Barry wants to be like him, which is the reason he is so determined and trains hard.
