 * Ash Ketchum (Rica Matsumoto (Japanese); Sarah Natochenny (English)) (1-2): 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, rude and even childish to at times, but improved as the main series continued. Ash usually turns his hat backwards whenever he fights in a Pokémon battle or tries to capture a Pokémon. Ash attempted the Pokémon League Admissions Exam in the hopes of joining the Pokémon League without the need to earn gym badges but ended up with the third-lowest score (only slightly above Jessie and James). Ash managed to win four rounds of the Pokémon League at Indigo Plateau but lost the fifth round against his newest friendly rival: Ritchie. The next day, Professor Oak asked Ash and his friends to go to Valencia Island in the Orange Archipelago and pick up a Poké Ball called the GS Ball that was acquired by Professor Ivy. While on the Orange Islands, Ash decided to enter the Orange League.
 * Bulbasaur (Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (1-2): 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. It seems to have a crush on Florinda's Gloom.


 * Charizard (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Billy Bob Thompson (English)) (1-2): Charmeleon was originally encountered 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 Blaine's Magmar) and following Ash's commands; this is made more apparent as his refusal to fight at the Pokémon League resulted in his trainer losing.
 * Kingler (?) (1-2): Kingler was originally a Krabby that 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. At Professor Oak's request, Ash collected Krabby for the Pokémon League. Krabby immediately evolved into Kingler following its victory over Mandi's Exeggutor.
 * Lapras (Rikako Aikawa) (2): A baby Lapras that was separated from its family and ended up on Tangelo Island. Lapras was originally seen being bullied by a group of punks, causing it to become afraid of humans, but overcame its fears after Ash and his friends rescue it from Team Rocket and became their mode of transportation across the Orange Islands.
 * Mimey (Yuji Ueda (Japanese); Michele Knotz (Japanese)) (1-2): Ash's Mr. Mime; it was originally seen near Pallet Town escaping Ringmaster Stella. Mr. Mime eventually arrived at the Ketchum residence and eventually became the housekeeper; Ash's mother, Delia, gave it the nickname "Mimey".
 * Muk (? (Japanese); Carter Cathcart (English)) (1-2): 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.


 * Pikachu (Ikue Ohtani) (1-2): 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.


 * Snorlax (Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese); Carter Cathcart (English)) (2): Snorlax originally swam to various Grapefruit Islands to steal the grapefruit. With the help of Jigglypuff's singing, Ash defeated and captured it.
 * Squirtle (Rikako Aikawa (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (1-2): 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) (1-2): A heard of thirty Tauros that Ash caught (all but one by accident) at the Safari Zone.
 * Brock (Yūji Ueda (Japanese); Bill Rogers (English)) (1-1.5): The Pewter City gym leader. The oldest of eleven siblings, Brock became their caretaker after his father Flint abandoned 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 by the ear in disgust and irritation. When Ash and his friends arrived at the Orange Archipelago, Brock decided to become Professor Ivy's housekeeper.
 * Geodude (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Marc Thompson (English)) (1-2): Geodude was first seen defeating Ash's Pidgeotto, but then lost to Ash's Pikachu.

 * Jigglypuff (Mika Kanai (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (1-2): Ash and his friends originally 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. Jigglypuff has a habit of mistaking pointy things like stands for microphones.
 * Misty (Mayumi Iizuka (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (1-2): 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. Misty seems to be an expert on riddles.
 * Goldeen (Ikue Ohtani (Japanese); Rachael Lillis (English)) (1-2): 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)) (1-2): Horsea was originally 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.

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. Prior to the Pokémon League, Psyduck was cast as the lead star of Clevon Schpeilbunk's latest Pokémon movie, Pokémon in Love, which Ash and his friends later watched in Hollywood. Misty initially became excited when she believed Psyduck evolved into a competent Golduck, only to discover that the Golduck she had was completely than her Psyduck.
 * Starmie (Ikue Ohtani) (1-2): Starmie was first seen losing against Ash's Pidgeotto in the Cerulean Gym battle. Upon returning to Cerulean Gym for a short visit, Misty left it under the care of her sisters.

 * Team Rocket (1-2): The primary antagonists; a trio of bumbling criminals working for the organization of the same name. 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). 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". 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 (mostly due to their unpleasant childhoods) 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. Jessie and James attempted to take the Pokemon League Admissions Exam, but both ended up with the lowest scores.
 * James (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Carter Cathcart (English)) (1-2): 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. He has been the victim of many cons by a Magikarp salesman. 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. His primary Team Rocket rival is Butch.

 * Victreebel (Rikako Aikawa) (1-2): James previously left his Weepinbell at a breeding center (which was actually a front for Team Rocket members Cassidy and Butch). When he and Team Rocket (as well as Ash and his friends) were caught breaking into the breeding center (unaware of Team Rocket's ownership at the time), James found his Weepinbell—now evolved into Victreebel—and released it.

During his time in the gang, he fell in love with a rich female Meowth named Meowzie, but he was rejected by her for being a street Meowth. Striving to earn Meowzie's love, Meowth tried becoming human, such as learning to walk and speak like a human. Unfortunately, Meowzie still rejected him for still being a street Meowth, prompting him to join Team Rocket to earn more money. Sometime later, while Team Rocket chased Ash and his friends to Hollywood, the street Meowth gang attempted to force Meowth back into their gang, but Meowth refused; however, he discovered that Meowzie joined the gang after being abandoned by her now-broke owner. Meowth defeated the gang in the hopes of saving Meowzie, but she still rejected him for the Persian leader, prompting a heartbroken Meowth to return to Team Rocket alone. On Golden Island in the Orange Islands, Meowth got worshipped as the "Great Meowth of Bounty" but ultimately rejected the position to reunite with his team (and after being forced into unsuccessfully performing payday).
