Minor Characters

The following is a list of various minor characters in Twitch Dates Pokémon.

## AAAAAAAAA

**AAAAAAAAA**is a Ponyta and member of the Supernatural Club. He is constantly screaming and is one of the fastest students at the Academy, to the point where he tends to run or race over people in his way, such as both Burrito and Gator. It is a running gag that he always races past the screen, making it very hard to catch his full portrait outside of the gallery.

He is based off a Ponyta caught in Twitch Plays Pokémon Crystal with the same gag (his nickname being AAAAAAAAAmade players joke that he was constantly screaming,) making him presumably a second-year student.

## Banarkley

**Banarkley**is a fourth-year student and Captain of the Ultraball Varsity Team, making him Air's superior. He is incredibly tough on all of his teammates, but that is thanks to him having high expectations for them and wanting to win a championship before he graduates, like many Senior Captains.

Banarkley is based on a Banette caught during the Heartgold run, which was randomized, making him know the move Slam, which was attributed to basketball. His name is a pun of his species name and NBA player Charles Barkley.

## Eevee-chan

**Eevee-chan** is the name of the Eevee that Burrito meets in the introduction scene of the game. She is presumably in Kindergarden or Pre-School, given her uniform.

She is an original character designed by BlitzMcKrieg. She was made as part of a rewrite of the introduction in order to better introduce the game's setting, dialogue choices, and Burrito themselves.

## Gyra

**Gyra** is the Academy's lunch lady. She speaks in a Russian accent, and has a son that apparently resembles Fonz.

Gyra was originally a placeholder character put into the mockup of the Cafeteria background as a gag, but the dev team grew so attached to her she stuck.

## Lancebot

**Lancebot** is Lance's greatest invention, a robo-replica of himself that he shows off on the first day of Tech Class. It is capable of fast flight, giving Burrito a ride to the mall during Week 1, and dangerously realistic Hyper Beam attacks.

## Sol

**Sol** is Mary's little brother. He is doing very well for himself, getting good grades and scholarships for his future. He looks up to his sister a great deal, hoping to evolve into a Flareon just like her.

He based off of Solareon from the Platinum Run, an Eevee that evolved into a Flareon after players chose inputs to decide if he evolved into either a Flareon or Vaporeon. He became the first Fire-type to be in the final party at the end of the game in the history of Twitch Plays Pokémon, said to have lifted a curse that had been put on them after they seemed to be a common target for releases.

## Keeper

**Keeper**, presumably a Drowzee, is the primary Academy Janitor. He is based off a Drowzee caught during the Red playthrough that was once placed next to Flareon in the PC, making players call him 'The Keeper' of the keys that were locking Flareon away, keeping her at bay before she was released.

## Rick Gastly

**Rick Gastly** is a third-year student (presumably,) head of the Shadows Club, and a musician at the Academy. Abby says he somehow manages to play a guitar with no limbs, and a Nidoran is always following him around. He constantly talks in the song lyrics of *Never Gonna Give You Up* by Rick Astley, which is who he is named after. Brian wears a shirt based off of him.

He is based off a Gastly  from the Red playthrough that was put in the Day Care, reaching level 50 by the end of the run.

## Jessie & BK

**Jessie** the Zubat and **BK** the Venonat are two third-year students mentioned by Abby, based off Pokémon caught during the Red run. They are best friends, with Jessie running a Hairstyling Club.

## Zexy

**Zexy** is a Torchic student at the Academy. He is a ridiculous Casanova and womanizer, with his efforts to flirt with girls often leading to mishaps.

Zexy was the starter of the Emerald playthrough, and met a similar fate to Abby where he was released early into the run. Originally, Zexy was supposed to be a fourth-year student and star in his own detective spinoff scenes, but was cut due to it being way too overambitious.

## Ace

**Ace** is a Raticate, mentioned to be one of Burrito's childhood friends. It is unknown where he is currently residing at.

Ace  was caught during the Crystal playthrough, and occupied the final slot in the party towards the end of the run until he was deposited into the PC at Mt. Silver. Common depictions claim he was the Rattata of Youngster Joey, lent to the party thanks to the bond between Joey and the player character, AJ.
