Pokémon Black and White was a series that was loved by 💃many fans because of its complete reboot of the franchise and how many Pokémon it introduced. However, sometimes fans overlook all the great characters that were present in because of other things that overshadow them, such as all of the new Pokémon and Unova region itself. There are some fascinating characters from generation 5 that added new dynamics to the franchise ♔in the way that players interacted with other people.
This list will rank every major character from generation 5 and how they fare against each𝓀 other in terms of personality. Read on further to see the best characters from Pokémon Black and White ranked by personality and how popular they were.
10 Drayden
Drayden was the final gym leader for players to face in Pokémon Black and White. Drayden is very difficult to defeat and raises Dragon-type Pokémon and could easily ta꧟ke down a player that wasn't prepared with either Ice or Dragon-type Pokémon by their side.
Drayden's personality was very stern and angry in appearance, but he seems to have a good heart if the player gets to know him better. Because of this enjoyable gym battle and his unique personality, Drayden deserves a ♋spot on this list.
9 Cilan
Cilan was a hit-or-miss character for many fans of the franchise because of his food metaphors and other gimmicks. He was present in the games but🍰 only for a brief battle. Cilan's main cameo in the franchise was within the anime.
Although many fans found him somewhat annoying, Cilan added a nice substitute for Brock and helped continue on the franchise after losing such a major character. Ash also seems to love this character, which is another reason whꦿy he gets a spot on this list.
8 Trip
Trip proviꦺded a new rival for Ash within the anime, and he helped replace Paul, who was a very good rival for Ash in the Diamond and Pearl anime. Although Trip wasn't quite as intense as Paul in terms of Pokémon training, he had the same general personality and would be considered the 🍬opposite of Ash.
Trip also had a𓃲 bunch of strong Pokémon that were fun t🥂o watch on screen, such as Serperior, which is a great reason that he needs to be on this list!
7 Bianca
Bianca wasn't j✅ust a unique character; she was also extremely funny. She was present in b🐭oth the video games and the anime, and her personality was very similar between the two.
Bianca would show up at the most satirical moments in the Black and White anime, and she acted as the pl⛎ayer's friend within the games. It would be great if Bianca came back and battled trainers in a future generation or maybe even as a gym leader in th꧙e Unova region.
6 Professor Juniper ♑
Professor J♋uniper provided a fresh outlook on the ever-present professor characters that fans meet at the beginning of every generation. She was the first female professor, which helped add some diversity to the professor circle, and although she was quite different from the other ones, the developers still kept her name based off of a plant.
It would be nice for professor Juniper to come back in the future because fans seemed to respond to her appearance in both the anime and video ✃games very well. Juniper was the type of profess⭕or that would always have a smile on her face and be helpful towards the trainers that she was mentoring!
5 Iris
Iris was present in both the anime as one of Ash's traveling companions and in the video games as a major character for players to battle. In Pokémon Black and White 2, Iris was even the champion of the entire Unova region, and that gave her major fame among the Pokémon fan base.
Iris was one of Ash's trav🐻eling companions in the 4th generation and although some fans found her annoying because of her sig🤡nature catchphrase "You're such a kid!" she added a different dynamic because of her goal to become the strongest Dragon-type trainer of all time!
4 Ghetsis
Ghetsi𝓰s was the leader of 🐼the evil team in Unova, and players got to meet him multiple times if they finished the games. Being the Giovanni of another region can be a hard thing to live up to; however, Ghetsis happened to do it very well.
The main goal of Team Plasma, which was the team that Ghetsis belonged to, was to free the enslaved Pokémon because the world was unfair. It also seems that Ghetsis had a goal for himself that would not benefit Pokémon, and those twists and tur꧒ns throughout the story made this character even more interesting.
3 Cheren
Similar to Bianca, Cheren was a character that𝕴 traveled alongside the player in Black and White and appeared in the sequel to aid the player througಞhout their journey.
Cheren wasn't quite as satirical as Bianca; however, he was꧋ more of the anchor character of the group adding a more serious touch to the player's travels. Many players enjoyed battling this character because he provided a challenge and a point set in the game for them to test their skills. Because of all these things, it's no doubt tꦆhat Cheren deserves a high spot on this list!
2 Looker
Loo🔯ker was a unique character because he was a police officer that was trying to bust Team Plasma. Looker would travel the Unova region and stay undercover to get🤡 intel on Team Plasma and their members.
There were numerous times that the player teamed up with Looker so that they cꦐould eventually take down the evil team, and this kind of dynamic had never been seen in the Pokémon franchise at that point. Looker was a very innovative character, and fans hope that they get to see him more in future ga📖mes because he would fit perfectly in another region, trying to take down the evil team!
1 N
N was a myste꧙rious charac💦ter that appeared both in the video games and the anime. The most notable thing about this person is that Pokémon raised him, and then Team Plasma raised him to eventually become the king of the organization itself.
However, to some extent, it seems that he rejected these ideas and wanted to become his own person, protecting Pokémon, which he loves so much. N's gentle personality made him one of the best characters to be introduced into the franchise to date and he is definitely one of the best ge🅺neration 5 characters ever!
