In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]. They start their journey in their [[hometown]] by getting a [[first partner Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is usually of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}. The region's resident [[Pokémon Professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex. Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, players can also choose their character's gender. Usually, they have [[rival]]s who begin their journey at about the same time. Players take part in several events, and meet a great number of Pokémon and people during their adventure. A common target is to conquer a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Several additional side-quests occur during and after each game's main plot. | In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]].

To date, only one player character has reappeared from an older generation in a role other than that of the player. In [[Generation II]] and the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes]], when {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, {{ga|Red}} is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control. At the time of these games' respective releases, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|game}} was the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an in-game Trainer ({{ga|Barry}}'s fully-evolved first partner Pokémon temporarily surpassed the standard set in Gold and Silver until the release of their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver).
