Paul: Difference between revisions
→Character: He definitely respected Cynthia for more than just her strength. There might be a case to be made with Brandon, but that episode's his big turning point anyway so it doesn't really matter.

Paul has also been shown to have a certain degree of athleticism, as seen in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' when he and Chimchar were able to downwardly scale a cliff of a waterfall near [[Bewilder Forest]] by swinging and leaping from rocks and branches. His catchphrase when calling out Pokémon is "<Pokémon>, standby for battle!"

As revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Paul occasionally gives some of his Pokémon to his brother [[Reggie]] for temporary training and caretaking. He disagrees with his brother's decision to give up on being a Pokémon Trainer after failing to get the Brave Symbol from Brandon, and often harbored contempt towards him for having similar views and beliefs about Pokémon to Ash. Nevertheless, it seems that their brotherly relationship has been reanimated.

Nevertheless, it seems that their brotherly relationship has been reanimated. As shown in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', during their video conversation, Paul seemed disappointed that Reggie would not be able to come to the match because of his work, but was glad to hear that his older brother was supporting him in the battle with Ash. | ||
Paul appears to feel complete indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, shown most tellingly in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'' where he is revealed to have not remembered her name. However, he talks to her about Ash much later in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', confessing his main problem with Ash is how his talk about bringing out a Pokémon's inner strength through his bond with them and that any Pokémon has the potential to be strong reminds him a lot of his brother. Paul shows a mix of mild respect and distaste towards {{an|Brock}} in their few interactions, | Paul appears to feel complete indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, shown most tellingly in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'' where he is revealed to have not remembered her name.

Paul shows a mix of mild respect and distaste towards {{an|Brock}} in their few interactions. While usually keeping his distance due to his association with Ash, Paul willingly opened up about Chimchar's history when questioned by Brock in ''Glory Blaze!'', and later explained his frustrations with Reggie to Brock in ''Aiding the Enemy!''. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Nurse Joy]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, and Brandon. He also shows respect to [[Gym Leader]]s, but not ones who he feels are weak. For example, he was shown to respect [[Roark]] whom he judged to have been a worthwhile opponent, but he was openly rude and mean to [[Maylene]] after defeating her with ease. | ||
During ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Paul | During ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Paul was shown to have developed a lighter side, allowing Electivire to go play with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}. He appeared to be strict, yet more calm-headed, scolding Ash for seemingly ignoring his Pokémon's well-being. He also complimented his Pokémon on their performance, regardless of result, and was shown to talk to others with his usual coolness, yet openly smiling at them, seen when Paul bid Infernape farewell while smiling. Paul's change was attributed to the fact that he was asked to become a [[Gym Leader]], making him want to learn more about Pokémon and their nature. | ||
