 * Blue - an egotistical and somewhat snarky but friendly at heart teenager who becomes Violet's rival as he decides to join her on her journey, claiming so he can be stronger than her but turns out he actually has grown a bond with her and believes that she makes him stronger like how he makes her stronger.
 * Green - a studious female trainer who doesn't want to become a Pokémon trainer to be a champion but instead wants to study all Pokémon and see what they like and dislike, joining Violet and Blue as she can sometimes be naggy and controlling but means well.

 * Nurse Joy - a wise and sweet-natured nurse who treats Pokémon of their injuries as there are multiple Nurse Joys all over Kanto as they all seem to be relatives although none of them really comment on it.
 * Brock - the somewhat cold yet intelligent rock type Gym Leader of Pewter City known for his love for training Pokémon, being the first gym leader that Violet and Blue faces against, as Brock is a fair player, willing to admit when he loses.
