Kris (Crystal)
Kris' journey begins when Professor Elm asks her to run an errend for Mr. Pokemon and Elm gives her the choice of a Johto starter. After this, Kris finds a strange boy outside of the lab, and when she attempts to speak to him, he shoves her away. He eventually becomes her rival. After the beginning errand, Professor Oak arrives and sees a strong bond between Kris and her pokemon. He gives her a pokedex and later, Elm sends her to compete in the Johto league.
Her story continues as she defeats her rival, Silver, in battles, disbands the revived Team Rocket, and becomes Pokemon League Champion. Not to mention that Kris teached Silver to respect pokemon and see them as living creatures and not tools. And, of course, she then moves on to Kanto, defeats the gymleaders there too, and win a battle against Red, who became Pokemon League Champion three years prior.
Facts About Kris:
-Pokemon Red and Blue Version was released in Giappone on February 27, 1996 while Crystal was released on December 14, 2000. It took almost five years for the company to add a female character.
-Kris's alternate japanese names are shared with Leaf, Dawn, and Lyra's japanese names.
- Kris cannot unisciti Pokathons like Lyra can. Pokathons weren't introduced until Heartgold and Soul Silver.
I will be blunt, Kris deserves a much higher place. Despite this, I am surprised she even got this high of spot. Unfortunately, I feel as if Kris is stuck with 6th place because of the fan lack of knowledge.
But anyhoo, think about it! It was two months away from FIVE YEARS of only being able to play as a male. Kris was a big step for the Pokemon company for bringing in più girls into the fandom. I am frankly confused as to why this doesn't make Kris popular. Afterall, look at Misty. She was the first main girl of the Anime and look how popolare she is!
Aaaaand, as I detto before, I personally have never played as Kris before. I was only four years old when the game came out in North America (I don't remember a time where I didn't watch the anime, but I never played the games until the Hoenn ones came out). I still think she is pretty cool in her journey and she took a big step in Pokemon history. Go girl power!
