As in any story, some characters stand out for their usefulness, others for their frequent appearances throughout the narrative.
Let’s discover together the main characters of the fifth generation of Pokémon.
Hilbert and Hilda
These two characters are the heroes of the adventure in Pokémon Black and White. Since Pokémon Crystal, you can play as either a female or a male character. This fifth generation is no exception: you can choose between these two characters:
Bianca and Cheren
Our hero is surrounded by two longtime friends, Bianca and Cheren:
Just like you, they receive their first Pokémon from Professor Juniper.
They will help your character progress through the adventure, appearing regularly throughout the story. They will also be rivals you will have to face several times.
Professor Juniper
Like her colleagues Oak, Elm, Birch and Rowan, Juniper has the task of introducing you to the world of Pokémon in the Unova region. A Pokémon Professor, she gives you your first Pokémon, a choice between Vipélierre, Gruikui and Moustillon, as well as Bianca and Cheren.
She appears occasionally throughout the adventure, for example to give you a Lucky Egg in Chargestone Cave.
Fennel
She is a very good friend of the Professor, whom she met at university. Fennel is also a scientist, known as an inventor. After you earn the Trio Badge, she will come to meet you and take you to her home. She will give you the very famous and far from negligible HM01 (Cut).
After a successful mission in the Dreamyard, she will reward you with a C-Gear. She is also deeply involved in the Pokémon Global Link and the Game Sync, which she created.
N and Team Plasma
Natural Harmonia Gropius, or simply N, is a young boy who is the king of Team Plasma.
When our hero meets him, it is in Accumula Town, right after Team Plasma’s speech campaigning for Pokémon rights. N seeks to free Pokémon from humans.
Team Plasma, as you may have read, is a group of activists fighting for the Pokémon cause. They seek to free Pokémon from the slavery to which they have been reduced.
Ghetsis Harmonia, N’s father, is one of the Seven Sages, the most important and powerful. Posing as the leader of the group at N’s request, he is in fact the Team’s spokesperson.
