Characters
(Narration provided by Kenyu Horiuchi (Japanese) and Rodger Parsons (English))
 * Ash Ketchum (Rica Matsumoto (Japanese); Sarah Natochenny (English)) (1): The main protagonist; a ten-year-old Pokémon trainer from Pallet Town who became licensed on his tenth birthday. The night before obtaining his first Pokémon, Ash accidentally destroyed his alarm clock while asleep, causing him to sleep in and miss out on all the starter Pokémon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle), so his mentor, Professor Oak, gave him a Pikachu as a starter. Ash's dream is to become a Pokémon master and defeat his rival, Gary Oak. Ash can be reckless, incompetent, dimwitted, careless, clumsy, arrogant, and somewhat childish at times, but still took good care of his Pokémon and matured as the main series continued.
 * Bulbasaur (Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English) (1): Originally owned by Melanie, Bulbasaur protected sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon in the Hidden Village. After Ash and his friends help Bulbasaur and Melanie fight against Team Rocket, Melanie decides to give Bulbasaur to Ash.
 * Butterfree (Rikako Aikawa) (1): Ash's first captured Pokémon; Butterfree was originally captured as a Caterpie in Viridian Forest. As Caterpie, it seemed to be attracted to Misty. It later evolved into Metapod after defeating Team Rocket, and then into Butterfree after being rescued from a Beedrill horde. Aboard the St. Anne, Ash traded Butterfree for a gentleman's Raticate, but later changed his mind and demanded a re-trade.
 * Charmander (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Billy Bob Thompson (English)) (1): Charmander was first found on a rock on Route 24 waiting for his trainer Damian, who had secretly abandoned it. After Ash and his friends save him from the rain, Charmander realized the truth and rejected Damian in favor of Ash.
 * Krabby (Rikako Aikawa) (1): Krabby was originally caught at a beach near Bill's Lighthouse; however, due to Ash already having six Pokémon on hand, it was immediately transported to Professor Oak's laboratory.
 * Pidgeotto (Megumi Hayashibara) (1): Pidgeotto was originally captured in Viridian Forest.
 * Pikachu (Ikue Ohtani) (1): The main Pokémon protagonist; Ash's starter Pokémon. Pikachu was chosen by Ash after all the starter Pokémon were taken. Pikachu hated Ash at first, but they became best friends after saving each other from a violent Spearow flock. He hates being confined in his Poké Ball, so he spends his journey traveling by Ash's side or his shoulder. After being brutally defeated by Lt. Surge's Raichu, Nurse Joy offered Pikachu a Thunder Stone to evolve into Raichu, but he rejected it, later defeating the Raichu in a rematch.


 * Squirtle (Rikako Aikawa (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (1): Squirtle started off as the leader of a gang of abandoned Squirtles called the Squirtle Squad; their main goal is playing pranks on Route 25. Team Rocket's Meowth tricks the Squirtle Squad into kidnapping Ash and his friends, claiming that their Pikachu belongs to him. Then Team Rocket attacks their hideout, setting a huge fire to Route 25, but the Squirtle Squad help put out the fire after being saved by their hostages; the lead Squirtle decides to travel with Ash, while the rest of the squad become firefighters.
 * Brock (Yūji Ueda (Japanese); Bill Rogers (English) (1): The Pewter City gym leader. The oldest of eleven siblings, Brock became their caretaker after his father Flint abandon them to become an unsuccessful Pokémon trainer and his mother died from overworking. After being defeated by Ash, Flint returned to take care of his family, allowing Brock to follow his dream in becoming a Pokémon breeder; Brock decided to join Ash on his journey. Brock is an accomplished cook and cooks many meals for his friends. He also tends to fall in love with almost every girl he meets.
 * Geodude (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Marc Thompson (English)) (1): Geodude was first seen defeating Ash's Pidgeotto, but then lost to Ash's Pikachu.

 * Zubat (Shin-ichiro Miki) (1): Zubat was originally captured in Mt. Moon when it was attacking a scientist named Seymour.
 * Misty (Mayumi Iizuka (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (1): One of the four Cerulean City gym leaders and the younger sister of the Sensational Sisters (Daisy, Violet, and Lily). Misty first met Ash after fishing him and his Pikachu out of the water. They borrowed her bike to escape a violent Spearow flock and accidentally destroyed it along the way, prompting Misty to travel with Ash until the latter paid her back. She hates bug Pokémon (including Ash's Caterpie and a wild Weedle). When Ash arrived at the Cerulean Gym, Misty fought him and lost.

 * Team Rocket (1): The primary antagonists; a trio of bumbling criminals working for the organization of the same name. After being defeated by Ash's Pikachu at Viridian City's Pokémon Center, they saw him as a powerful Pokémon and have been trying to capture him ever since, but every scheme they pull off (successful or not) usually ends with Pikachu being rescued and them "blasting off". Before joining Team Rocket, Jessie and James attempted to study at the Pokémon Technical Institute, but both failed the entrance exam. On certain occasions, Team Rocket would reluctantly work with Ash and his friends (such as escaping the sinking St. Anne). Despite being evil, they are still somewhat good-natured to an extent and truly care about their Pokémon.
 * James (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Carter Cathcart (English)) (1): The primary male antagonist. A running gag involves James constantly falling for many scams by a Magikarp salesman.
