Brock is a Pokémon Gym Leader from Pokémon Red and Blue. While this was his first appearance, his big splash in Pokémon fandom was by being one of Ash Ketchum's two companions in the Pokémon Anime, the other being Misty. Because of his major role in that series, this article will be only discussing PokéAni!Brock and not his appearances in the games or manga.
Although Brock is the least popular of the Original Trio, he is a favorite to many and is the focus of many fanworks. He is an icon of popular culture.
The Pokémon Brock is most associated with are Onix, Croagunk and Vulpix.
