Barry is a Pokémon Trainer from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. He's the rival to the player character, which may be Lucas or Dawn depending on gender. Barry is well-liked with fans, though not too many fanworks exist which primarily focus on him. He also makes appearances in Pokémon Masters. While he does have a counterpart in Pokéspe named Pearl, this character is distinct enough for his own article.

Until Masters, the name "Barry" for his gameverse counterpart was only semi-canonical. Barry was his name in the Pokémon Anime, and most fans called him this for years as a fanon personal name since it was also one of the predetermined options the player could pick in the games. Many years after DPP came out, it was discovered the internal data of Diamond and Pearl refer to him as Cedric, a name not seen elsewhere and not one fans use[1]. In Japanese, "Cedric" is パール (Pearl) instead, a name reserved by fans for his manga counterpart.

The Pokémon he is most associated with are Empoleon, Chimchar and Uxie.

Gen | Combi

  • Barry also has a somewhat popular gen relationship (combi in Japanese) with his father Palmer, simply called Barry & Palmer in English.
  • Together, Barry, Dawn and Lucas form the Sinnoh Trio.
    • In Japanese, their gen (combi in Japanese) relationship is called 神奥トリオ, meaning Sinnoh Trio.
    • This is not to be confused with シンオウトリオ, which is this same group but for the Pokéspe.
    • シンオウ組 may also be used, though that just translates as Sinnoh Group, so it includes any large group of Sinnoh characters.
