-{{nihongo|'''Jessie'''|ムサシ|Musashi}}, {{nihongo|'''James'''|コジロウ|Kojirō}}, and {{nihongo|'''[[Meowth]]'''|ニャース|Nyasu}} are the main antagonists of the series. While they set out to steal Ash Ketchum's Pikachu and various other Pokémon in almost every episode, they usually fail in the end. They use various disguises, traps, and schemes to trick Ash's group into a false sense of security, and after being revealed, they give a poetic speech, known as their motto, that often changes slightly throughout each season. After failing, they are often sent "blasting off" by an explosion or a Pokémon's attack. They are constantly out to appease their boss, Giovanni, though he finds the group to be incompetent.
-Jessie is a loudmouth who often abuses the other two. She grew up in a poor foster family, while her mother focused on missions from Team Rocket. She is voiced by [[Megumi Hayashibara]] in the Japanese version, [[Rachel Lillis]] during the first eight seasons of the English anime and [[Michele Knotz]] from the ninth season onwards.

-==Supporting characters==
-===Delia Ketchum===
-{{nihongo|'''Delia'''|ハナコ|Hanako}} is Ash's mother. She is kind and hospitable, but often scolds Ash when he often puts himself in dangerous situations. Delia herself has a Pokémon/house keeper in the form of [[Mr. Mime]]. Delia's voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids]]) [[Michelle Knotz]] ([[Pokémon USA]]) and by ''Masami Toyoshima'' (Japanese).
-===Gary Oak===
-{{nihongo|'''Gary Oak'''|オーキド・シゲル|Ōkido Shigeru}}, voiced by [[Yūko Kobayashi]] in Japanese and [[Jimmy Zoppi]] in English, is Ash's rival. He is based off the character [[Blue (Pokemon)|Blue]]. At first, Gary was arrogant, but has since become more open-minded. He and Ash grew up together in [[Kanto (Pokémon)#Pallet Town|Pallet Town]] and quickly became rivals after becoming Pokémon trainers. Like Ash, Gary collected Gym badges and then competed in the Kanto and Johto League tournaments. After losing to Ash in the Johto League, he decides to pursue a career in Pokémon research, impeding his rivalry with Ash. During ''[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl (anime)|Pokémon: Advanced Generation]]'', he travels to [[Sinnoh]].
-===Giovanni===
-'''Giovanni''' {{nihongo|'''Sakaki'''|サカキ|Sakaki}} is the leader of Team Rocket, having inherited his position from his mother, and the [[List of Kanto locations#Viridian City|Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Gym|Gym]] Leader. He is constantly frustrated by the failures of Jessie, James, and [[Meowth]]. Aside from the operations of Team Rocket, he also funds the creation of Mewtwo in the movie ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', but Mewtwo eventually escapes from him. He attempts to recapture Mewtwo in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', but Mewtwo ends up erasing all memories of himself from Giovanni's mind. He is voiced by [[Hirotaka Suzuoki]] and [[Kenta Miyake]] in the Japanese anime, [[Ted Lewis (voice actor)|Ted Lewis]] for the first eight seasons of the English dub, and Craig Blair from the ninth season of the English anime onwards.
-Giovanni plays nearly the same role in the [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Pokémon Red'', ''Blue'', ''Yellow'']], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|''FireRed'', and ''LeafGreen'']] video games. He also appears in the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga, and the ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' stage musical where he is played by [[Darren Dunstan]].
-===Nurse Joy===
-{{nihongo|'''Nurse Joy'''|ジョーイさん|Jōi-san}} is the name for each member of an identical family of Pokémon nurses. They mainly work in [[Pokémon Center]]s, but they also work in other locations. They are also often accompanied by a [[Chansey]] or [[Blissey]]. Like the Chansey and Blissey, the Nurse Joys are mostly hospitable, especially towards Pokemon. Brock, the only person who can tell all the Joys apart by appearance (the cross on their hats changes color), is infatuated with every Nurse Joy he meets, often having to be restrained by a traveling companion. In the Japanese version, she was first voiced by [[Ayako Shiraishi]], followed by [[Yuriko Yamaguchi]] and for a short time by [[Kikuko Inoue]]. In the 4Kids dub they were voiced by [[Megan Hollingshead]] until the Advanced series, where [[Bella Hudson]] took over, and [[Michele Knotz]] from the Pokémon USA dub. Nurse Joy was also played by [[Diane Stillwell]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.
-===Officer Jenny===
-{{nihongo|'''Officer Jenny'''|ジュンサー|Junsā}} is the name for each member of an identical family of police officers. They often show up patrolling, or in some cases stopping a crime. In the original Japanese version, she was voiced by [[Chinami Nishimura]]. In the English versions, she was voiced by Megan Hollingshead from seasons 1 through 6, [[Jamie Davyous Owens]] from seasons 7 through 8, [[Elisabeth Morinelli]] (a.k.a. Emily Williams) as of season 9, and by  [[Kayzie Rogers]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. Brock, the only person who can tell all the Jennys apart, is infatuated with every Officer Jenny he meets, often having to be restrained by a traveling companion. The Officer Jenny from Hearthome city is Mitsuki's mother.
-===Paul===
-{{nihongo|'''Paul'''|シンジ|Shinji}} is a roaming [[Pokémon trainer]] from the [[Sinnoh]] [[Pokémon regions|region]] that has traveled through the regional areas of Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. Paul's hometown in Sinnoh is [[Sinnoh#Veilstone City|Veilstone City]]. He is voiced by [[Kiyotaka Furushima]] in Japanese and [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English. During ''[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl (anime)|Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'', he begins to travel through Sinnoh, where he meets and develops a rivalry with Ash Ketchum. Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Paul is characterized as a stern and captious trainer whose only concern for Pokémon is of their ability to act in battle. As such, Paul always checks his newly captured Pokémon with his Pokédex to learn what attacks they know. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. He believes that forming a bond only dilutes a Pokémon's true potential and turns them into slackers. He has shown respect for some people like Nurse Joy, Roark, Professor Rowan, Cynthia, and his older brother Reggie.
-===Professor Oak===
-{{nihongo|'''Professor Samuel Oak'''<ref name="PtM2K">Professor Oak’s first name was revealed in "The Power of One", the main Feature of ''[[Pokémon: The Movie 2000]]''.</ref>|オーキド・ユキナリ|''Ōkido Yukinari''|'''Yukinari Okido'''}}, sometimes {{nihongo|'''Dr. Ōkido'''|オーキド博士|''Ōkido-Hakase''}} in original [[Japanese language]] versions, is a [[Pokémon professors|Pokémon researcher]], and generally considered the best of his kind. As such, his role in the Pokémon games and anime is that of a [[mentor]] to young [[Pokémon Trainers]], a source of information and an occasional [[plot device]]. Amongst other things, he is credited with inventing the [[Pokédex]]. Although he is an expert on all matters relating to Pokémon, Professor Oak specializes in Pokémon behavioural science.
-In the anime, when Professor Oak was a young Pokémon Trainer (referred to as "Sammy" in the [[Pokémon 4Ever|fourth movie]] in which he played an important role of the Pokémon storyline) he owned a [[Charmeleon]]. He met the legendary Pokémon [[Celebi]] while it was being pursued by hunters and through its time traveling powers was transported decades into the future for a short while. During this time he met [[Ash Ketchum]], who gave him the idea for the Pokédex. This adventure more than likely influenced all of his ideas and inventions thereafter creating a [[predestination paradox]].
-In the original Pokemon Red and Blue, and thus in FireRed and LeafGreen, Agatha, the third member of the Elite Four, will mention that she knows that Oak has taken an interest in the player, and goes on to talk about how "that old duff was once tough and handsome" and about how Pokemon are for battling.
-===Team Rocket===
-Team Rocket (ロケット団, ''Roketto-dan'', literally ''Rocket Brigade'') is an evil organization bent on world domination. Headed by [[Giovanni (Pokémon)|Giovanni]], their plans to steal and exploit Pokémon for profit and power is a central plot device used throughout the series. According to the anime, the organization only has bases in the [[Kanto (Pokémon)|Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions, however that does not stop the show's antagonist trio of Jessie, James, and Meowth from following Ash Ketchum to other areas around the Pokémon world. Often, members of Team Rocket are broken up into pairs in order to perform specific heists - like Jessie and James. In the English translations, the pairs are often been given names which nod to iconic figures of the [[American Old West]]: [[Jesse James]], [[Butch Cassidy]], and [[Annie Oakley]].
-===Zoey===
-{{nihongo|'''Zoey'''|ノゾミ|Nozomi}} is a Pokémon coordinator, Dawn's rival and best friend. She is unlike most rivals, though, such as giving out helpful adivce, and helping out in certain situations compared to fighting and competing against Dawn all the time.  She first appeared in the episode of "Mounting a Coordinator Assault". Her Japanese voice actress is 早水リサ ([[Risa Hayamizu]]) and her English voice actress is [[Elisabeth Morinelli|Emily Williams]].
-==Minor characters==
-===Butch and Cassidy===
-{{nihongo|'''Butch'''|Kosaburō}} and {{nihongo|'''Cassidy'''|Yamato}} are the rivals of Jessie, James, and Meowth; unlike the trio, however, they are successful Rockets and are looked upon favorably by [[#Giovanni|Giovanni]]. They show up in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl when the group (Dawn, Ash, Brock) see a Pokémon they have rescued (Hippoputas). Their plans are on a larger scale, with the goal of capturing many Pokémon at once. As a running gag, other characters usually mispronounce Butch's name.(e.g. Bif, Box, Bill, Butcher, etc.) James is usually the one most guilty of this.
-===Orange Crew===
-Collectively known as the '''Orange Crew''', the five Orange Island [[Pokémon Gym|Gym]] Leaders mostly favor tests of skill, endurance, or other tests of the applicant’s mettle, instead of straight head-to-head battles. Each of them poses to [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] a challenge to overcome or task to complete before he earns the badges he needs to go on to the [[Orange Islands|Orange]] [[Pokémon League|League]] championships. They appear in both the anime and its manga adaptations.
-The first four members are {{nihongo|'''Cissy'''|ナツミ|Natsumi}}, a [[Pokémon types#Water-type|Water-type]] Pokémon specialist; {{nihongo|'''Danny'''|ダン|Dan}}, who challenges trainers to work with multiple Pokémon to complete challenges; {{nihongo|'''Rudy'''|ジギー|Jigī}}, who uses unorthodox training methods such as dance; and {{nihongo|'''Luana'''|ルリコ|Ruriko}}, who specializes in double battles. {{nihongo|'''Drake'''|ユウジ|Yūji}} is the leader of the Orange Crew, and resides on [[Orange Islands|Pummelo Island]]. Trainers that defeat him in a six on six battle obtain a trophy, a championship title and various honors. Ash is the first person to defeat him and Pikachu is the only one to ever defeat his Dragonite.
-===Professor Birch===
-[[Image:ProfessorBirch.png|thumb|150px|Professor Birch]]
-{{nihongo|'''Professor Birch'''|オダマキ博士|Odamaki-Hakase|'''Doctor Odamaki'''}} is considered the "Pokémon Professor" in the [[Hoenn]] region. Unlike other Pokémon scientists, he is known for his field work, rather than, in his own words, remaining "cooped up in [his] lab all day." He is an expert in the field of Pokémon [[habitats|habitual distribution]]. He is also responsible for giving new [[Pokémon Trainer]]s one of the three Hoenn starter Pokémon: [[Treecko]], [[Torchic]], or [[Mudkip]].
-In the anime, Professor Birch appears at the start of the Hoenn Saga. When Ash arrives in the Hoenn region, his [[Pikachu]] is ill from an overexposure to magnetism, and needs treatment immediately. Birch himself takes Ash and Pikachu back to his lab. Birch gives May her first Pokémon, a [[Torchic]], a [[Pokédex]], and some Poké Balls. He later appears when Ash, May, Brock, and Max return to Littleroot to help save the Starter Pokémon from Team Rocket, and also helps to solve the mystery of [[Clamperl]]'s evolutions.
-===Professor Elm===
-{{nihongo|'''Professor Elm'''|ウツギ博士|Utsugi-hakase|'''Doctor Utsugi'''}} is in charge of giving novice [[Pokémon Trainers|trainers]] their first [[Pokémon]] ([[Chikorita]], [[Cyndaquil]], or [[Totodile]]) in the [[video game]]s [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|''Pokémon Gold'', ''Silver'', and ''Crystal'']]. He was a student of [[Professor Oak]] and moved to [[Johto#New Bark Town|New Bark Town]] in the region of [[Johto]] where he conducts his research on Pokémon breeding. His English name refers to the [[elm]] tree, while his Japanese name refers to [[deutzia]]. Professor Elm dresses quite casually, with a shirt that has a stripe across it slightly covered by his lab coat. He wears khaki slacks and sometimes wears night slippers or [[Moccasin (footwear)|moccasins]].
-He is [[stereotype|stereotypically]] depicted as a professor that has a tendency to be absent-minded, due to his immersion in his work. His forgetfulness was shown in an episode of the [[Pokémon anime]] where [[Team Rocket]] visit his [[laboratory]], and the professor carelessly assumes them to be Nurse Joy from the [[Pokémon Center]] without looking up, and tells them to take the Pokémon, which they do. When the real Joy arrives, Elm discovers that one of his Pokémon, Totodile, has been stolen. With the help of Officer Jenny and the local Police Department the Pokémon is recovered from Team Rocket. This was meant to reproduce the moment in the game where one of his Pokémon is stolen by a rival character and is never recovered. Professor Elm also was said in one episode that he was Professor Oak's top student, and implies that he wants to surpass Oak.
-===Professor Ivy===
-{{nihongo|'''Professor Felina Ivy'''|ウチキド博士|Uchikido-hakase|'''Doctor Uchikido'''}} in original [[Japanese language]] versions, is the resident Pokémon professor of the [[Orange Islands]], south of the region of [[Kanto (Pokémon)|Kanto]].
-Professor Ivy is first introduced in the second season of the Pokémon anime. Ash and his friends [[Misty (Pokémon)|Misty]] and [[Brock (Pokémon)|Brock]] make their way to Valencia Island and meet the Professor. The unusual Pokéball that Professor Ivy discovered is dubbed the ''GS Ball''. It serves as a [[plot device]] that leads Ash to the region of [[Johto]]. During the second season, Brock decides to stay with Ivy to study Pokémon breeding, but later arrives in Pallet Town. He now reacts intensely to Ivy's name "Don't mention that name!" She also appears in the [[animated film]] ''[[Pokémon: The Movie 2000]]''.
-===Professor Rowan===
-{{nihongo|'''Professor Rowan '''|ナナカマド博士|Nanakamado-hakase|'''Doctor Nanakamado'''}} in original [[Japanese language]] versions, is the authority on [[Pokémon]] in the [[Pokémon regions|region]] of [[Sinnoh]], the setting of the [[Pokémon (video games)|Pokémon video games]] [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'']]. Professor Rowan's name derives from the [[rowan]] tree, continuing the trend of the names of Pokémon professors deriving from the names of trees.
-Rowan's laboratory is located in Sandgem Town, making him the first professor in the ''Pokémon'' series not to live in the protagonist's town. Specializing in the research of [[Pokémon evolution]], Rowan is an expert on the Pokémon of Sinnoh. He gives the player a [[Pokédex]], and allows him or her and the rival to keep one of the three Sinnoh [[Gameplay of Pokémon#Starter Pokémon|Starter Pokémon]] ([[Turtwig]], [[Chimchar]] and [[Piplup]]) each after they are attacked by [[Starly]] while searching for a rare Pokémon, having seen a red [[Gyarados]] on TV appearing at the Lake of Rage (a reference to [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Silver'']]).
-Professor Rowan appears in the first episode of ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl'', "Following a Maiden's Voyage!" He meets [[Dawn (Pokémon)|Dawn]] and later gives her [[Piplup]].
-===Ritchie===
-{{nihongo|'''Ritchie'''|ヒロシ|Hiroshi Kariama Nagashi}} first appears during the Kanto League Saga, where he meets and forms a friendship with Ash. He dresses mostly in green, with a blue hat. Ash Ketchum and him develop a rivalry as the series progresses. After the Kanto League tournament, Ritchie is ranked top eight of the Kanto League Tournament after defeating Ash, but later losing. Afterward, Ash and him part ways but pledge an oath to become Pokémon Masters.
-Ritchie re-appears in the [[Johto#Whirl Islands|Whirl Islands]] near the beginning of the fifth season, ''[[Pokémon: Master Quest]]'', and is one of the [[protagonist]]s of ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]''. Ritchie reveals during ''Pokémon Chronicles'' that he is from Frotomar City. He is voiced by [[Minami Takayama]] in the Japanese version, and by [[Tara Jayne]] in the English version. Ritchie can also be played in ''[[Pokémon Puzzle League]]''.
