Kris is a Pokémon Trainer and a playable character from Pokémon Crystal. She is popular with fans, though less so than her Male counterpart Ethan. She also makes appearances in Pokémon Masters. Marina, her PokéAni counterpart, and Crystal, her Pokéspe counterpart, are distinct enough characters that they won't be discussed here.
Although Kris was originally a fanon-given name for her, Kris became her official canonical name in 2022 with her inclusion in Masters, 21 years after the release of Crystal. The Pokémon she is most associated with is Suicune.
Kris may be confused for Lyra from Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Both are Female protagonists for the Generation II Pokémon games.
