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, as well as defeat his rival: Gary Oak. Ash can be somewhat reckless, incompetent, self-centered, dimwitted, careless, irresponsible, selfish, clumsy, arrogant, immature, and even childish at times, but still cares deeply for his Pokémon and matured as the main series continued. Ash usually turns his hat backwards whenever he fights in a Pokémon battle or tries to capture a Pokémon.
 * Bulbasaur (Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (1): Originally owned by Melanie in the Hidden Village, Bulbasaur protected sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon. After Ash and his friends help Bulbasaur and Melanie fight against Team Rocket, Melanie decided to give Bulbasaur to Ash. When it appeared Bulbasaur was going to evolve into Ivysaur, it was abducted by a herd of Bulbasaur and taken to the Mysterious Garden for an evolution festival; however, it ultimately rejected evolving and continued staying Bulbasaur.


 * Charizard (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Billy Bob Thompson (English)) (1): Charmeleon was first found as a Charmeleon 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. It later evolved into Charmeleon, and later into Charizard, but began becoming disobedient and lazy due to its trainer's lack or experience, only rarely battling (such as against an Aerodactyl) and following Ash's commands.
 * 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.
 * Muk (? (Japanese); Carter Cathcart (English)) (1): Muk originally led a swarm of Grimer on an attack at Gringey City's power plant. After the Grimer were driven away, Ash defeated and caught Muk, but it was still able to emit a disgusting odor through its Poké Ball, presumably causing Ash to immediately transfer it 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 and/or on 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 same Raichu in a rematch. When Ash and his friends stumble across a Pikachu heard, Pikachu contemplates staying with the heard, but when Ash decides to release him, Pikachu changes his mind and continues traveling with Ash. Pikachu's favorite food is ketchup.


 * 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 tricked the Squirtle Squad into kidnapping Ash and his friends, claiming that their Pikachu belonged to Team Rocket. Then Team Rocket attacks their hideout, setting a huge fire to Route 25, but the Squirtle Squad helped put out the fire after being saved by their hostages; the lead Squirtle decided to travel with Ash, while the rest of the squad become firefighters.
 * Tauros (Katsuyuki Konishi) (1): A heard of thirty Tauros that Ash caught (all but one by accident) at the Safari Zone.
 * 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 (especially all the Officer Jennys and Nurse Joys), only for Misty to attack him and pull him back in disgust and irritation.
 * Geodude (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Marc Thompson (English)) (1): Geodude was first seen defeating Ash's Pidgeotto, but then lost to Ash's Pikachu.
 * Onix (?) (1): Brock's lead Pokémon.
 * Vulpix (Rikako Aikawa (Japanese); Suzy Myers (English)) (1): Vulpix was originally owned by famed Pokémon breeder Suzie. After Suzie departed to continue her breeding career, she gave her Vulpix to her idolizer Brock.
 * Zubat (Shin-ichiro Miki) (1): Zubat was originally captured in Mt. Moon when it was attacking a scientist named Seymour.
 * Jigglypuff (Mika Kanai (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (1): Ash and his friends first met Jigglypuff near Neon Town; unfortunately, it was unable to sing. With help from and his friends, Jigglypuff was eventually able to find its voice and sing; however, its song was so powerful that it would cause anyone who heard it to fall asleep; this would prompt Jigglypuff to steal a pen from Ash's backpack, which it would later disguise as a microphone, and draw on its sleepy victim's faces. After curing the Neon Town of its sleeplessness, Jigglypuff began traveling around the world and singing its song, hoping to find somebody who can stay awake and hear its song through its entirety.
 * 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). As a child, Misty was only given hand-me-downs while her sisters constantly received Princess Dolls. 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.
 * Goldeen (Ikue Ohtani (Japanese); Rachael Lillis (English)) (1): Misty first used Goldeen against Team Rocket, but due to its uselessness on land, it was quickly recalled.
 * Horsea (Machiko Toyoshima (Japanese); Rachael Lillis (English)) (1): Horsea was first found by Ash and his friends in Porta Vista, where it pleaded with them to stop a Tentacool and Tentacruel retaliation attack against Nastina for destroying their coral. After the attack was quelled and Nastina was defeated, Horsea joined Misty.
 * Psyduck (Rikako Aikawa (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (1): Psyduck was first encountered at the Pokémon Center in HopHopHop Town after Ash and his friends cured all the hypnotized humans and Pokémon, Psyduck began following them and ended up inside Misty's Poké Ball. Psyduck is notable for causing lots of misfortune to its trainer, most notably jumping out of its Poké Ball despite Misty not choosing it for battle. It constantly has a headache but is able to fight back and use its powers when its headache is under a severe amount of stress and/or danger.
 * Starmie (Ikue Ohtani) (1): Starmie was first seen losing against Ash's Pidgeotto in the Cerulean Gym battle.
 * Staryu (Shin-ichiro Miki) (1): Misty's lead Pokémon.
 * Togepi (Satomi Koorogi) (1): Togepi was first found by Ash as an egg at a Pokémon fossil dig site in Grampa Canyon. Upon hatching, Togepi imprinted Misty as its mother with Ash's Pikachu acting as its surrogate brother.
 * 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 their primary capture target ever since, but every scheme they pull off (successful or not) usually ends with Pikachu (or their capture victims) being rescued (or escaping on their own) and Team Rocket "blasting off". Before joining Team Rocket, Jessie and James attempted to study at the Pokémon Technical Institute, but both failed the entrance exam. They also used to be members of a Sunnytown biker gang; they were known as "Big Jess"/"Chainer Jessie" (known for swinging her chain above her head while riding her bike) and "Little Jim"/"Trainer James" (who always used training wheels on his bike). On certain occasions, Team Rocket would reluctantly work with Ash and his friends (such as escaping the sinking St. Anne). Despite being evil, Jessie and James are still somewhat good-natured to an extent and truly care about their Pokémon. Team Rocket's primary mode of transportation is a Meowth-style hot air balloon. They primarily address Ash and his friends and "twerps". Usually, when wearing disguises, Jessie and James (the latter more prominently) would cross-dress.
 * James (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Carter Cathcart (English)) (1): The primary male antagonist; prior to joining Team Rocket, James was originally born to overbearing millionaires and owned a Growlithe named Growlie. On Kids Day, James would be free to take a day off from school, allowing him to swim all day and eat ice cream sandwiches. His parents arranged him to marry Jeesebelle, but her domineering behavior ultimately caused James to run away and abandon his upper-class family. After his parents apparently died, James was forced into returning by his teammates so they could claim his inheritance money; however, it is revealed that his parents faked their death so they could force him into marrying Jessebelle. Thankfully, Growlie was freed by Team Rocket (as well as Ash and his friends), allowing it to rescue James and help him escape back to his teammates; before fleeing, James asked Growlie to watch after his parents.
