Sophocles (anime): Difference between revisions

Sophocles is an intelligent young boy with a knack for inventing helpful devices and machinery. He is also a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, often using them to power his inventions. While at times rude and prone to absorbing himself in his technological activities, he is friendly and greatly cares for his Pokémon and classmates. In ''[[SM006|A Shocking Grocery Run!]]'', it was revealed that Sophocles likes to collect information on all sort of things, such as the best ice cream in Alola. In the same episode, it is also revealed that he has a fear of dark places, but is never scared at night as long as he has his Togedemaru with him. Sophocles tends to get bashful when people complement him on his knowledge, responding with a shy "{{tt|Mā, ne...|'Yeah, well.'}}" in the original Japanese version of the anime – a pun on his Japanese name, "Māmane".

Sophocles also has a defensive side, which was seen in ''Mounting an Electrifying Charge!'', when he stood up for himself and his Charjabug after being mocked by [[Horacio]]. Sophocles is a gracious loser, as shown in [[SM113]], where despite being sad after losing in the preliminary round of (Japanese: '''アローラポケモンクイズ''' ''Alola Pokémon Quiz''), he happily congratulated his former fellow contestant [[Kuwashi]] on getting yet another correct answer in the final round when he saw him next.
