Now, before I post this, I do want to be clear that everything here is just something I spitballed. Any and all classmates we do or do not have are Bobo's call. But I figured we'd all feel a bit more like a part of the student body if there were characters around us with names and faces, and that if I gave basic details like this, they could serve as a wealth of inspiration for Bobo rather than a burden he has to create. Any and all feedback you guys can put in chat would be greatly appreciated.

I wanted to make sure we had a variety of relationships here, not all friends and not all enemies. So I make one "positive interaction" character for each party member, one "negative interaction" character for them, and one "other" character for them. At the end are a few random characters who I felt would help flesh out both the highschool environment, and some under-represented aspects of the Pokemon world. Ethon Kiels is, of course, left alone, as he is Bobo's design.

Natsuki Hamada
Ameteur manga-artist, quiet and shy but obsessed with Finnley. Secretly writing a series about her called "Kunoichi-Hime". Getting her to open up in conversation can be a bit difficult, as she's more likely to do nothing but nod and tremble, but is a very sweet and caring girl once you've gotten into her comfort zone. Known Pokemon, Fletchling, Pichu

Honda Watatamo
A self-proclaimed ninja, believes stealth is only "pure" if used for combat or reconaissance, may be on to Finnley's darker talents. Has no desire in making friends, and will lash out at anyone who tries to hard to get "through his defenses." Known Pokemon, Karrablast, Nincada

Douglass Patters
Fancies himself to be a modern-age Robin Hood, a frequent face in detention. Constantly trying to pull off "the next big heist," but is generally viewed as harmless. Easy-going and chatty, but has an ego that can drive most people away. Known Pokemon, Purrloin

Chester Aaron Chester Meadows
Young heir to a semi-successful chain of high end restaurants. Has his eye on Lui as a potential future head chef of one of these establishments. He himself, however, can't even boil water without burning something. Well-meaning, but known to be very serious and blunt. Known Pokemon, Gulpin, Cyndaquil

Tara Thornsby
An unannounced rival in the battle for Piper Greenwood's heart, secretive and serious. Hasn't decided on a "major" yet, after finding she didn't have the aptitude for nurse work. Puts on an air-headed, overly-flirty facade, but is actually a cold and calculating girl. Known Pokemon, Snubbull, Swablu.

Phil Fitsimmons
Up-and-coming member of the culinary club, thanks in large part to Lui. Wasn't the greatest chef when he joined, but Lui's tips and generally supportive nature are rapidly increasing his confidence and skills. Changing more from an introvert to an extrovert with every passing day a very charming and pleasant kid to be around. Known Pokemon, Cherrim.

Mindhi Lagupta
A very vocal admirer of Myra's. Joined the swim team shortly after her, favorites all of her Hoots, laughs loudest at her jokes. Surprisngly decent swimmer given how little interest she had before discovering Myra. Known Pokemon, Pansage, Spearow

Sarah Washington
Sarah was the star swimmer of the girls' freshman swimming team for about five glorious minutes. She was hailed as the most promising member they'd seen in a first-year in recent memory. And then Myra shaved a whole three seconds off of her lap time. Has never forgiven her, and strives to take her crown back. Focuses on little else, almost to the point of seeming to have no personality. Known Pokemon, Buizel, Shellder

Billy Summers
A boy who, as far as the class knows, is a bland, awkward nerd. However, he leaves a double life that very few know. Going by the secretive Hooter handle "NastyNoctowl," he wages PR campaigns attempting to bring the popular children to fall from grace. Myra, whether she knows it or not, has somehow fallen into his crosshairs lately. Known Pokemon, Noctowl.

Hunter Ambrose
If Rose is known as "The richest girl in class," then Hunter is "the boy in close second." Arogant, spoiled, condescending, and crude. And absolutely obsessed with trying to get on Rose's good side to "join their houses." Both literally and suggestively. Known Pokemon, Milotic, Dratini, Mawile

Beth Barker
Beth spent her whole life one step short of wealthy, always settling for the second-best of everything. She's always known she was meant for more, to be adored, to be on magazines and gossiped about on awful TV. She also knows that Hunter Ambrose is her best shot at accomplishing that goal. As far as she's concerned, he and Rose are already dating, and she absolutely hates her for it. Acts like your typical "TV trash celeb," friendly until the slightest provocation (real or imaginary) and dramatic beyond belief after that. Known Pokemon, Glameow

Maria Selaro
The poster-child comic book fangirl. Cosplays, blogs, writes fan crossovers, wears logos and knows all the movies by heart. The only logical next step? To start hunting the super heroes of real life. And what should happen when she begins this hunt? A mysterious transfer student, unknown but wealthy, and somehow always in the heart of the action. Anywhere Rose goes, Maria is often close behind, with a camera and notepad ready to capture her secret, and then use that evidence to force Rose to take her on as her sidekick. Known Pokemon, Smeargle, Spinda

Ashley Bagger
Cedric's best customer. Perhaps the iconic capture specialist, known to spend extensive amounts of time in even the most mundane areas to try and fish out new species of Pokemon. When she's not catching Pokemon, she's studying behaviors and habitats, typical attacks, and ways to outfox more elusive 'Mons. While her aptitude for capture is obvious, many believe her encyclopedic Pokemon knowledge will lead her down the path of the professor. Dedicated and relentless, but a generally sociable girl who likes nothing more than helping struggling newbies capture Pokemon. Known Pokemon, dude like so many. Zangoose is her main.

Erin Gamgee
A student clerk in the campus store. A misunderstanding had already soured her opinion of Cedric, but his cutting into their sales has left them absolutely hostile towards him. Wants to bring an end to what she considers "his unethical business practices," and is always on the lookout for some way to bring his dealings to a halt. Known Pokemon, Slakoth, Smoochum.

Michael Zacharias
Known, much to his own hatred, as "The Ball Breaker." Michael has broken Pokeballs in situations so outlandish, they're almost impossible to believe. He wants to be on Cedric's good side for when Cedric starts developing these "highly specialized ball designs" he's always mentioning, but Cedric is wary about allowing someone like that to endanger his test products. Known Pokemon, Baltoy

Ed Rechts
The class clown, with no question about him holding the title. Quick with a pun, not above slapstick, and somehow seems to know exactly when it will or won't offend his audience to crack a dirty joke. Well liked and resourceful, many people would consider Ed rather popular. However, his constant need to be liked by everyone around him and inability to dedicate himself to anyone for long periods of time actually leave Ed feeling rather lonely, with no one considered to be a close friend. Always a bride's maid... Known Pokemon, Mime Jr, Wynaut, Kekleon

Alice Winstrate
Alice does not have time to tell you about herself, listen to you bitch about your day, or tell her about the time Ed put a whoopie cushion in Sam's desk. There are papers to be written, textbooks to be memorized, pop quizes to ace, midterms to pre-write, apples to be polished, and chess club meets to demolish. If she has any friendly side, its buried somewhere under all those books. Known Pokemon, Medicham

Raechel Hill
Raechel would have been a shoe-in for the Freshman tournament, if she hadn't been in bed with a cold from training outside several nights in a row for it. From the moment class ends to the time she can no longer keep awake, she can be found at work in the CBA's training facilities, honing new strategies or having some of her team spar against each other to help learn to better avoid and manage their own elemental weaknesses. If the word "serious" crashed with the word "determined" and had a secret affair with "desperate for victory," the unknown love-child of the freakih word pile would be Raechel Hill. Known Pokemon, Charmeleon, Croconaw, Grovyle.

Jack Prower
Is a jerk. Quite possibly responsible for the cruel nickname "Kneils on wheels" spreading around the school. Not above solving a problem with a fight, unless that fight is fair. Taker of lunch money, teaser of nerds, cat-caller of girls, Jack and his anime pompadour aren't going to be taking any of your complaints without slugging you back. Known Pokemon, Pancham, Vullaby.

Lexi Drummonds
Coordinators are rare, even at PTU, but they are dedicated to their cause like no other trainers. They have to be innovative on a level most can't manage, taking normal moves and making them as appealing as possible. Lexi is one of the few Freshmen to have wins in multiple categories with a single Pokemon, as she and her posh Skitty are growing famous for their Cute and Smart ribbons. She has her eyes set on Beauty next. Has quite a following for her combination of looks, talent, and smarts, but is still humble and approachable. Makes it well known that Skitty is her only partner, aside from her best friend Jamie, who designs their costumes.

James "Jamie" Persallas
It must sting the boys in the class to know that the smoothest operator of all the Freshmen is after them and not the girls! Jamie has been known to make even the manliest of men blush with a compliment, but refuses to share dating advice with anyone who "Seems like he's just trying to outwit a girl, and not respect them." He is less selective with his Pokemon (and human) costumes and clothes, which he will sell to all seeking parties, particularly if the Pokemon is one that he dubs "adorbs." This is the man behind Sable's infamous pink booties. Jamie is a very outgoing and adventurous young man, and you'd be hard pressed to find a kid in class that doesn't like him. Known Pokemon, Sewaddle, Scraggy.

Suzie Malone
Of the devious Malone twins, the center of all gossiping in the class, Suzie is the "creative one." If a rumor gains any power but doesn't have evidence tied to it, she probably started it. Known to change her behavior however she needs to get close to the people she's out to. Known Pokemon, Minun.

Sally Malone
Of the devious Malone twins, the center of all gossiping in the class, Sally is the "manipulative one." If a rumor gains any power but doesn't have a single person it can be traced back to, Sally is the one who spread it. Known to mimic whatever it is Suzie is doing for behavior that day. Known Pokemon, Plusle.

Billy Chalmers
...is usually asleep in class. His grades are suffering for it, and last month, he didn't turn his tuition in until the very last minute. Very few people in class know much about him, as he's often too drowsy to chat. It is only known because of his roommate, Phil, that he is in fact a "professional gamer." He's apparently a big deal in the first-person-shooter and MOBA genres, and wins most of his money in online tournaments. What he's doing in PTU, no one really knows. Known Pokemon, Solosis.

Ethon Kneils
Use to be a kid that never stood out much, but after the field trip incident he has been noticed by his fellow schoolmates at a much grander scale. His self-esteem isn't the highest, but he still tries to do what he can without assistance. He spends most of his free time training his Pokémon or reading wilderness guides and books about adventuring. Known Pokémon, Bergmite and Shinx.

All the Npc

Class 1b (Partial Roster)-

Cole Ryder
This kid is the model example of hyperactivity, unable to sit still longer than a few minutes at a time. He has a fascination with speed, flight and gravity which leads him to frequently be seen running trenches into the track field or being hauled off to the nurse's office after a failed flying experiment off of the dorm's roof. Known Pokémon, Tynamo.

Krory Chaplan
Perhaps the most intimidating first year student, if not student in general, that you can find at PTU though none of this is because of appearance or mannerisms. He hails from a long line of mobsters, his father the current head of the family. He has a gathering of students that his family is sponsoring to go to the school in order to buy the loyalties of other families, and so that Krory would have a constant supply of bodyguards and goons to run his errands. Known Pokémon, Remoraid and Ferroseed.

Demetria Valdis
Twin sister to Rayne Valdis and one of the few people that Krory considers his peer. She has an interest in plants and flowers for their medicinal and poisonous properties. Rumor has it that she has concocted a variety of brews that can mimic countless ailments. She holds a grudge against the Greenwood family for both denying her membership into Club Zen and for reversing many of her "remedies". Known Pokémon, Gloom and Paras.

Rayne Valdis
Twin sister to Demetria Valdis and one of the few people that Krory considers his peer. Unlike he sister, no one knows much about her besides the fact she is never seen away from Demetria or Krory for any length of time. Rumor has it that the last person to see her alone has been in a coma for over a month. Known Pokémon, Phantump and Unknown "V".

Jayanti Magiajit
A mysterious kid who transferred in from a region no one knows about, not even the Geography teacher. All that anyone can say about him is that he possibly has the best connection between trainer and Pokémon than anyone else at the school. Wild Pokémon approach him without hesitation and wherever he is seen, people find themselves being able to have a pleasant conversation with those they would normally shun and despise. Rumor has it that even Zangoose and Seviper get along in his presence.

Johnny "BadAss" Heirstrum
Quick with his temper, but has yet to physically harm anything. He has been trying to join up with the Hunter's Guild since Day 0, but his inability to work with others has kept him from joining their ranks, though they will still call on him to handle the more "mundane" jobs they do not want to deal with while they take on even bigger jobs.

Reeve Asano
Appears to be quite lazy during class hours, but somehow has the highest scores in his class. He frequently teases and pranks others for his own amusement, but holds to the idea of respecting your elders. While he is no pushover, he has a soft spot for those who are bullied and usually ends up doing Sam's job before any faculty can step in to dissolve the scene, though with methods that end up with him in detention instead.
