Characters that are well | Characters that are well known in the Pokémon franchise can have vast differences between the various canons. For example, in the games, [[Brock]] is a well-known Gym Leader, the toughest Trainer in the area of Pewter City, and remains as the leader of its Gym between the time of {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}'s journey and {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}}'s. In the anime, however, while {{an|Brock|he}} is a tough Trainer, his true calling is as a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} (and later on, a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}}), and he took the mantle of Pewter Gym Leader only because both of his parents left on their own Pokémon journeys, leaving him in the care of the Gym and their [[Brock's siblings|rather large family]]. Differences can go much further than that, with [[Sabrina]] being a kind shrine maiden in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a misguided young woman due to the development of her powers in the anime, and a [[Team Rocket]] member in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. | ||
