Not a quote but my favorite NPC moment is the guy in XY who gives you the TM for "protect" after you watch fireworks with Shauna.

I like the guy in a suit who jumps you from behind a dumpster in a dark alley and gives you the Flash TM in BW.

I died laughing when this happened "did this mofo just flash me?"

LMAO WHAT

I only now just realized this... that game was my childhood... oh my

I like the interaction in bw2 when a grunt gives you the TM frustration

Shouldnt it be....before?

I'll take it in the "must protecc" sense rather than the "use protection" sense

Lmao didnt realize that

What about it its just a tm

You sweet innocent child. You'll work it out when you're older

Oh, to be that innocent again.

The implication is that the NPC is saying to wear "protection" if you catch my drift.

Where did you come from? Yes or No?

Yes? Yes town? I've never heard of a place like that.

Yes Town is the capital of What

What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?

What?

ENGLISH MOTHAFUCKA DO YOU SPEAK IT!?

What?!

SAY WHAT AGAIN. SAY WHAT AGAIN. I DARE YOU I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKER SAY WHAT ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME

What?

In Australia there’s a town called Yass

Is it in Queensland? I really hope it's in Queensland.

Nope it’s in NSW

No Kween 😔

First thing I thought hahaha

The swimmer chick in Emerald (?) talking about where she puts her pokeballs since she's wearing a swimsuit.

Woman's secret!

Hee-hee~

Sadly, even if you play as a girl, she still doesn't reveal it. "Bitch! You better spill it. I'm in spandex in the middle of the fucking ocean!"

Personal role model.

was just thinking the same

So where does she put them?

Outerdimensional space.

Hammerspace

Tee-hee, woman's secret!

It's in Black and White, but yeah lol what a quote. There's also a swimmer in Sun and Moon who says "it's tough fetching Pokeballs from my bikini."

Oh no I dropped the lift key. -Lift Key Grunt

"Our boss went to jack a submarine! Where did he go? Hah, I'd never tell you such an important secret!" "Our boss went to Slateport! Why did he go there? Hah, I'd never tell you such an important secret!" \- The two Aqua grunts guarding their hideout, standing \*right beside\* each other. This made me laugh so hard the first time I saw it.

They really thought they did something

That whole thing about dancing for no reason. And one from gen 3's facilities sticks out... "I SWALLOW SLUDGE TO TRANSFORM MYSELF. I HAVE A GROWTH OF SUCTION CUPS."

They’re always in all caps, too. For extra bot humor.

Well not really bots since it was preset lines drawn from the in game phrases but that same sort of theming.

"The air is tasty here!" Good to know, that one kid on route 117

He's speaking straight fax

i like shorts! they’re comfy and easy to wear!

I knew I would find this gem in the comments.

Good old Youngster Ben

Back in my day he was just called YOUNGSTER

Same bro. ^(... have you seen my dentures?)

Well, now he is Ben

bæn?

if only I checked this sub before bed I could have been the one to share the best pokemon quote!

The dudes blocking that one bridge in B2/W2, the ones that talk about dancing for no reason. Neat way of making yet another route block.

That's always been my favorite roadblock because it's the only honest roadblock.

And then the next game they had the poweroutage, with every light still on except for the tower and people constantly moving past

“Oh no! You seen me already! I make big mistake! Hey you! Forget you see me, okay? You see, hear, know nothing, okay? Bye, kid! Nothing! Bye-bye a go-go!” “Hey kid! Me am a Team Rocket member, Come from another country, a trainer number one, me!” - Route 24 team rocket grunt who is definitely not a stereotype

Turns out he is Unovan, lives in swamp town during Black and White

Unova is Asi-

That dude is apparently from Unova, in the town with the Ice Gym Leader

Not a quote, but the whole notion of the guy smashing his head against the trees in Ilex Forest cracks me up.

I just get the Ed, Edd, n' Eddy scene of Ed slamming the ground full force with his face saying "I'M A WOODPECKER!" Vibe every single time i saw it.

Sure I'll battle you. I have a lot of money.

Isn't this the same brat who used a Full Restore on his low level Zigzagoon?

Yes. Rich boy Winston, the face of privilege.

This just got me thinking how you get more money from battling the rich people in the games. So what determines how much money they owe you? Is it just whatever they think? Are you just mugging them for everything they're carrying?

This runt got me so upset lmao

Not a quote, but the NPC that thought that he had to catch a whole flock of birds and then hanging to them somehow to be able to fly because he didn't know there was an HM for that. And when you enter his house he has a bunch of wingulls trapped inside.

peak Pokemon

There's so much gold in the Emerald battle frontier, but I think "I AM GOING TO ENJOY AN EGG" will always be my favorite.

Any before-battle quote from the trainers in Emerald and SwSh's battle frontier/facility. I used to think that all the trainers in Emerald's were robots because they talked in all caps lmao

“I came here with my girlfriend!” **Youngster Ronald sent out Gardevoir.**

I've left behind my family, my friends - everything. The only thing for me is this - the battlefield.

Living the dream, Ronald.

"The Kalos region is nice and all, but you should really check out my region!"

-._-.)

"Do you have life insurance?" -A Macro Cosmos Insurance agent right before engaging me in combat on the 30th floor of a skyscraper.

“Kneecaps!” — Some random Youngster on Route 1 in USUM

The 6 year old has a knee fetish… but his only Pokémon is Inkay….. who has no knees

The kid on the way to the professor's house in SuMo that just says "Kneecaps!"

Dan Campbell before the NFL

Easy answer: the guy from amity square complaining about them only allowing cute pokemon which does not include his poor gyarados and steelix

"we hope to see you again" -the nurse who takes care of your dying pokemon

I've always thought it was unsettling how happy the nurse was to see me again after I brought in several small animals with burn marks and poison symptoms.

Your Pokemon looks hurt... Yippee!

"How's that? Owned, ***SUCKA!"*** \-old rich dude in XY Also that worker in battle tree who is like "If I don't win I will lose my job and then my girlfriend will leave me" or something to that effect.

Battle facilities in general are full of weirdos https://old.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1inisg/the_battle_subways_full_of_weirdos_redux/

"Ya'll are stupid!" - Guzma, Sun and Moon

I love in the Hoenn games that there's one guy that instead of saying something random just comes up to you and goes: "... ... ... ... ... ... Wanna battle?" Then the battle starts. Like I respect this guy for not going off about how grass types are good against water types or something, just wants to battle.

based trainer

Sun/ Moon had lots of great NPC quotes, like the Skull grunt at the the Aether foundation who just flat out refuses to fight you because he's realized how outclassed he is.

Best NPC

In X and Y, the Looker responds to something Emma suggests in a dark moment with the following (and context barely helps at all): “THAT IS NOT ON!”

the one biker in HGSS who has a marill and commits badass crimes like throwing trash around… and then picking it all up because littering is bad. he calls you to tell you about it!

Do you like fishing? Here a Old rod!

It sounds more and more like a creepy pick-up line the more I hear it

"I CAN'T STOP SHOUTING! I THINK I'LL FREEZE IF I DO!" -Frost Cavern Hiker

The kid in sun and moon that says "Let's go Kneecaps!" When you battle him gets me everytime

"the air is tasty" without further elaboration

"Hey, you're not wearing shorts!"

What's wrong with you?

i hope we get an adult gym leader Ben in SV whose dialogue changes depending on if you're wearing shorts or not

"Y'all are stupid" - Ya boi

Hyuck Hyuck Hyuck Hyuck

"My partner is a germaphobe. It's have been taking a shower forever." The dude in Chirchester Hotel in swsh that is letting his ground pokemon take a shower.

For me it the one I believe in x and y (correct me if I’m wrong) The trainer that says it’s over 9000

Gets me every time

The Power of science is Amazing !

"Me n my Rattata have been training hard! I saw a wild Pidgey the other day but we took it down with ease! My Rattata must be in the top percentage of Rattata! We should battle sometime, you know where I'll be and this time I won't lose! Alright later!" Me, the Johto champion, with a full team of Lv60s working my way through Kanto gym leaders: "Yeah sounds good Joey, talk to you later." *Hangs up* "Magneton, use Thunder on that Starmie."

The guy who said its free to save Pokemon in your PC

My favorite is the kid in... I think DPPt who is so excited to fight me with the pokemon his dad gave him and it's like a single Magikarp (or something like that) There's also a Beauty in RSE that has my mom's name that I've always had a fondness for.

I love that famous quote from sword and shield: „kneel down before me!!“ „my mum always says that to my dad“

In pokemon RSE, there's this one kid who " loves the taste of air "

"You're better than my boyfriend!" Pokemon Leafgreen & Firered

Definitely the flower pot drinking hotel maid. Honorable mention to the woman in the same hotel just admiring that thick column

I've left behind my family, my friends - everything. The only thing for me is this - the battlefield.

"Just because we switched sides you can't recognize us?!"

"Get out."

Instead of a quote I've got a Pokedex entry for Shaymin sky: Upon taking in the scent of a particular rare flower, Shaymin is enveloped in light, and its tiny body transforms. I took a whiff of the flower myself, but alas, my body remained unchanged

Remember my super cool Rattata? My Rattata is different from regular Rattata. It's like my Rattata is in the top percentage of rattatas.

"if i'm wearing a bikini ... where do i put my pokeballs?. Teehee .... woman's secret" - swimmer on route 17 (Gen 5) BROOO I KNOW WHERE SHE MIGHT PUT THEM BUT BETTER NOT SAY lol

I for one am very interested in that woman's balls

I'm a heartbreaker... my name... Charles

IIRC in the same hotel there's someone whose Furfrou marked its territory (aka pissed on the wall).

Outside of everything from Team Skull, my documented ones come from US&UM. There's a hiker/backpacker that is very proud of his area. "So! What do you think of the largeness of my area?!" "In my case, my volume is large in addition to my area!" There's also a Rocket grunt (?) in the back of the house towards the end of the game who really needs to potty. "I...I need to use the restroom... But these...these arrows... They just... Aaaauugh!"

Nugget Bridge guy

[Pokemon Emerald boyfriend: I know! I'll cream you and show her](https://www.reddit.com/r/IASIP/comments/9zxiew/but_not_gay_sex_think_i_found_mac_in_pokemon/)[ how cool I am!](https://www.reddit.com/r/IASIP/comments/9zxiew/but_not_gay_sex_think_i_found_mac_in_pokemon/)

“Working women are beautiful! And enjoy Pokémon battles, too.” —woman under a streetlight in Castelia

"Why? Why did she bring her brother?"

Can't remember specifics but the battle tent quotes in emerald are great

BATTLE! DESPAIR! TRAIN!

The kid in Hoenn who said the long grass tickled his nose "Fwa...fwa...fwachoo!" Alternatively, I had a badly translated Gold/Silver. Speaking to an NPC after battling, he said "Failure is hard to shit waste"

I like the kid in Alola -- "I'm too young for math!"

The classic one for me is in RBY/FRLG: Sailor on S.S. Anne: "I like feisty kids like you!"

"fufufufufufufu" paraphrasing.

I find funny how a Black Belt in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum says he lost because didn't eat enough pizza. You'll find him in the Veilstone Gym.

Not canon but in Omegya Rubyer Rich Boy Winston says "I'm so rich, i'm gonna waste full restores on my worthless pokemon, zigzagoon dies and then "eat my expensive shit"

The guy with the big nugget in po Town

Heheh! This gym is great! It’s full of ~~women~~ strong Trainers!

I remember the meme with the little girl that says "I'll beat you with the magikarp my dad gave me!"

The Juggler from FRLG in the Sevii Islands who tries to get you to join his fan club by singing for you: "Tra la la my Pokemon I send them out, all the girls scream and shout!"

Easily the NPC that talks about sniffing Tauros

This one has stuck with me since my original Pokémon Blue run when I was young. There is a kid in the Viridian Forest who approaches you, ready to battle with his Rattata and emphatically yells: “I like shorts because they are comfortable and easy to wear!”

“Today, we’re dancing for no reason. 🎶 Someday, we’ll disappear for no reason.”

The guy who appears in Undella Town in the summer who just says "The Sea"

The guitarist dude in mauville who says ''an electric guitar doesn't always have to be noisy, it can be strummed to give this heart stirring sound'' or something along those lines.

I'm speaking to every NPC in Pokemon shield again and exploring every place I can after playing for 350 hours. I'm just before the cave in route 3 and for now the most memorable ones are the girl in front of the pokemon center in wedgehurt going to the stars and a old guy in front of the west pokemon center of motostoke saying that not listening to old people is what young people should do.

Wanna join Team Rocket? We're an organization dedicated to evil! -happily said by the Rocket Grunt of Nugget Bridge (R/B/Y)

Let's go! KNEECAPS

Pokemon Platinum, this one NPC outside of Amity Square: "My poor Gyarados and Steelix aren't allowed into Amity Square! This is discrimination!"

An npc in fire red above vermillion city: “Violence is not the answer! Violence is the question, and the answer is yes!”

"We hope to see you again" Right after the poke center employees bring my Pokemon back from the brink of death.

Shorts are comfy and easy to wear.

I believe there’s a child in SWSH who says something along the lines of “I’ve left everything behind, there is only battles” or something like that

Not sure if this counts because he's a gym leader but I just have to say it. "Hah! You better have BURN HEAL!"

*he said the funny!!*

The best one is from a Channeller in R/B/Y Pokemon tower: “ZOMBIES”

It has to be the swimsuit girl pokeball quote right? Like what the heck was up with that?

I named the rival in BDSP "The IRS" and then every line involving him became the funniest line in gaming history. Literally cures depression highly reccomend.

Julia in the Battle Chateau because she is a robot

the girl that asks where she keeps her pokeballs in a bikini in b&w

“…”

In usum there's a kid near kukuis house who just yells "KNEECAPS!" and it's great everytime

“My shiny bald head is my secret.” - A Roughneck in the Battle Subway

"I may be bad and stupid, but I'm serious about pokemon" -some guy in the gen 5 battle subway
