The lead protagonist of Hope in Friends, Neon the Pikachu, is a human-turned-Pokémon with an energetic, youthful attitude and a mysterious purpose. His emotions will range from bombastic and slapstick to heavy concern and sorrow. We picture him with somewhat of a younger, higher-pitched voice.

  • "No way! You're so ADORABLE! You're such a cute puppy! And you can talk, too?!"

  • "Bro... am I a Pikachu?

    ...

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I HATE PIKACHU! THEY'RE SO OVERRATED! WHY COULDN'T I HAVE BEEN AN ARCANINE?!"

  • "He was... shot by humans. I failed to save him... I'm sorry. H-How'd you know he died?"

The secondary protagonist of Hope in Friends, Zander the Riolu, is a young teen with a tragic upbringing ranging from a deceased friend to an abusive father. His jealous and distrusting nature is apparent from the very beginning, but slowly withers away as he begins to form a close friendship with his newfound friends. He typically has a bit of a moody and sarcastic attitude.

  • "Puppy...? I'm 15 years old."

  • "I knew it, this guy is clearly off his meds! She'd have to be crazy if she agrees to help him!"

  • "WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN?! I... I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!"

Role assigned to: Forest Boy

A Joltik that resides in the main character Neon's hair. He offers word of advice when needed. Try playing around with pitch filters to make him sound like a tiny bug.

Edit: My mistake -- this character is male! Apologies for the misdirection.

  • "Wow! You know, for a Pikachu, you really suck at being one! I mean, you almost crushed me!

    ...

    What? Oh, right! Are you okay? I probably should have asked that first, huh?"

  • "Neon, this is a Mystery Dungeon! Please stop before you get yourself into trouble!"

  • "That's a Dungeon Pokémon; they can't be reasoned with! You have to fight back, they won't stop until you're down and out!"

Role assigned to: Shayminthedoctor

An Eevee who is swiftly and abruptly turned into a Jolteon and is not pleased by this turn of events.

  • "I'm glad you didn't invite her. She would have just moaned about not having any work to do-"

    (Cut off by a sudden Thunderstone to the back of the head.)

  • "So first you FORCED me to evolve with that Thunderstone by throwing it at the back of my head, then you dare call me CUTE? You think this is funny, mate?"

  • "Huh, that didn't hurt at all. In fact, I feel much better! Now where were we? Oh yeah, the BEATING!"

Ben the Raichu is a cocky, competitive explorer with a big heart.

  • "Heh, nice one, but it was pretty weak! At least you can keep up, unlike the blue Slowpoke!"

  • "Lenoxy, it's okay to come out now, it's safe. I'm here to rescue you!"

  • "G-GET AWAY FROM HER!"

    (Just took a stab to the gut to protect Mio, in extreme pain but hardly phased)

Zander's father. An esteemed explorer, but secretly a vile, narcissistic bully who hurts and threatens his own son. His reputation is the only thing he cares about.

  • "What are you doing out here? You're not wearing your badge."

  • "You're a terrible liar. You know what I do to liars, don't you? I cut their TONGUES out! Just like I'll do to yours unless you TELL ME THE TRUTH, YOU NO-GOOD BRAT!"

  • "Funny. You know as well as I do that he's a lazy, spoiled, good-for-nothing brat. Discipline is necessary."

An Eevee who is an explorer and the daughter of the Guildmaster.

  • "You're so naive. Did you forget that I'm the one who puts the jobs on the board every morning? I memorized where I put each and every one of them, and I could tell he took a job for this dungeon. If you all hadn't recklessly run off, I'd have told you all!"

  • "G-Guys, we need to get out of here! Use your badges!"

  • "GET AWAY!!!"

    (She's basically inches away from being killed here.)

Role assigned to: Mazzy

Tygo the Pikachu is a deceased former-friend of Zander the Riolu. He tragically passed away by unknown means long before the events of the story, so he is only featured through flashbacks and hallucination. He is friendly and inviting, and sports a country accent. Think Southern hospitality.

  • "Uh, sorry pal, I ain't this Neon fellow you're lookin' for!"

  • "I sense a lot of locked, hidden potential within ya. You'd make a great comrade for my group, 'Storms of Fate!' Plus, you look like you could use some friends, no offense!"

  • "You gotta have more faith in me!"

    What the heck are you?"

  • "So let me get this straight: I'm a fire-breathing animal now? That's what you're saying, Fox?"

  • "W-Wait, 'saving the world?' S-Sorry, that sounds like a lot of work, not to mention dangerous! Find another human!"

  • "So? I need it more than you, and mine's broken."

  • "I'm in an important chat with my friends. Go away, or I'll tell Mom about those Pokémon cards you got from Alex before he vanished."

  • "There's my little Neon!"

  • "I'll be out all day, I want you to think of a treat for yourself for all the good grades you've gotten recently."

  • "Don't worry about the charger. Your father and I have been talking, and have decided to unban Pokémon as long as your grades, sleep, and mental state aren't affected again."

A close school friend of the main chararacter Neon.

  • "Hey, Neon, how's it going? I heard no longer banned from Pokémon!"

  • "Now that you're allowed to play Pokémon, I can finally lend you those Mystery Dungeon games."

  • "I never wanted to live within a video game so badly until I played Red Rescue Team. A world where we can take matters into our own hands and fight back, THAT'S a world I wanna be in."
