**Lazor Gator**, commonly referred to as simply **Gator**, is one of the main characters of Twitch Dates Pokémon. The second-year class clown, Gator is the common blame for any incidents that occur at Twitch Academy, as much as he fervently denies it.

## Appearance

Gator's trademark is the gray & red visor that he always wears in all of his outfits except when swimming, where he wears goggles instead.

He wears the second-year uniform buttoned, with the tie underneath his blazer.
For his casual clothing, he wears a green jacket with a messy white collared shirt. On the left shoulder of his jacket, there are three distinct badges of a King's Rock, a Pokéball, and two Kendo swords.

## Personality

Gator can be described as mischievous, cunning, loud, and silly. A majority of the time, you'll find Gator trying to pull pranks on everyone at the Academy or scheming for future ones. He is a good sport if anyone tries to prank him back, and is more then ready to come up with his revenge scheme whenever that occurs. In the end, he always means well and is a good sport about pranks, meaning them all in good fun.

While he does appear intimating, whether it be from his size or one's fear of getting pranked by him, Gator is pretty sociable whenever he isn't pulling off a plan of his. He enjoys having fun with his friends and is pretty laid back.

## Relationships

Gator is friends with Air and Fonz, as they've done a multitude of athletic activities together in the past. He is also friends with Snake, although they currently butt heads with each other over Gator's pranks.

## History

Gator is the first of the dateables Burrito meets at Twitch, accidentally bumping into him on the way to their first class. Their introduction is a little rocky, with Gator teasing Burrito about expulsion, but Burrito gets the impression that Gator seems like a nice person underneath it.

According to Fonz, Gator started pulling pranks on everyone at the beginning of the year.

## Origins

*For more information, refer to Lazorgator's page on Helixpedia*

Lazorgator (in game nickname AAAAAtttta) was the starter of the Twitch Plays Pokémon Crystal playthrough. Unlike his predecessor, Abby, Lazorgator remained a main party member for the entirety of the run. As a Totodile, he repeatedly used the move Leer, which in Crystal had the animation of shooting lasers from his eyes. This gave him the nicknames of 'King Leer' and 'Lazorgator', with Lazorgator sticking due to the move away from kings and the former already being associated with Dux. Being a Totodile, Lazorgator was commonly depicted as an innocent, fun loving child.

Due to being the starter Pokémon as well as the difficulty of Crystal being relatively easy, Lazorgator shot up in levels compared to the rest of the party, and the game was progressing significantly faster then the Red playthrough did. Lazorgator's strength was commonly blamed as the reason, which caused the event known as the 'Gator Wars' where players pushed for Lazorgator to be released from the PC in order to slow down progress and make the playthrough more interesting. This caused multiple Pokémon to be released in Lazorgator's place, one of which included Prince Omelette, the beloved Togepi that was received from Professor Elm as an egg as well as someone who was commonly precised as a close friend of Lazorgator. This release, along with the previous one of a Sentret named Admiral that was seen as Lazorgator's mentor, had players see Lazorgator as having a mental breakdown, transforming him from an innocent Totodile to a vengeful, angry force of nature that swore revenge against Lord Helix, whom he believed was responsible for all of his misfortunes.

## Trivia

* According to Abby, Gator's father is a Red Gyarados, which Burrito doubts.
