Relationships

The most popular pairing (coupling in Japanese) this generation both in Japanese and English-speaking PKMN fandom is Blue Oak/Red, (fans dub this NamelessShipping in English,) and platonic Blue Oak & Red. Other pairings are far less popular but include Koga/Lt. Surge (ToxicboltShipping) and Erika/Sabrina (FemmeGymShipping). Remaining popular pairings, as seen on Archive of Our Own, include Leaf & Blue Oak & Red & Female Blue/Green, forming what fans call the Kanto Trio, and Leaf & Red, since fans may consider them siblings or childhood friends.

Other characters of note include Team Rocket Boss Giovanni, the Elite Four's Lance, and Professor Oak. Pokémon such as Pikachu, Charizard and Mewtwo were also introduced, and this gen's 'mons are some of the most well known in the entire series.

Remaining named characters include Brock, Misty, Blaine, Lorelei, Bruno and Agatha.
