Leaf (Japanese: リーフ), also known as Green (Japanese: ブルー Blue), is the female protagonist of the Generation I remakes, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and a character in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

Her rival in FireRed and LeafGreen is Blue. Her male counterpart is Red. Green from the manga Pokémon Adventures is based on her.

Voice actors

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, she was voiced by Wakana Minami in the Japanese version, and by Kate Bristol in the English version.
In Pokémon Masters EX, she is voiced by Yuka Otsubo in the Japanese version, and by Michelle Marie in the English version.

Appearance

Leaf is a young girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a light blue sleeveless shirt, along with a red miniskirt.

FireRed and LeafGreen

She wears a white hat with a red Poké Ball logo. She wears a light blue sleeveless shirt, along with red miniskirt. Underneath she has matching, long socks, and athletic shoes. Also, Leaf is seen with a yellow trainer bag, sometimes with the VS Seeker attached to it.

Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee

She wears a black and blue dress with matching blue shorts, and shoes of the same color. Her sweatbands are white colored.

Personality

In FireRed and LeafGreen, Leaf does not have any distinct personality, much like other player characters from the core series games.

In Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, Leaf, unlike Red who is revealed to be actually stoic in his NPC appearances, is an enthusiastic girl and always wants to win, never content with defeat, but respects her opponents and tries to give the best of herself.

In Pokemon Masters, Leaf is shown to be good childhood friends with Red and Blue, frequently seen alongside them. She's shown to be determined and cheery, with a generous streak as she can find gifts for the main player.

Overview

In the games

FireRed & LeafGreen

Leaf gets to choose from one of the three Kanto starters Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle from Professor Oak. From there, she catches more Pokémon, battles trainers, and challenges the Kanto Pokémon Gyms throughout the region. Along the way, she would battle her then Hated Rival Blue Oak, who has the starter with the advantage against Leaf's Starter. Leaf would also get into skirmishes with Team Rocket that heat up as the team progresses, eventually facing their boss Giovanni. At the eighth gym, Leaf finds that Giovanni is actually the Viridian City Gym Leader and battles him. At the end of it all, Leaf beats him, seemingly causing Giovanni to have a change of heart. Giovanni surrenders the final badge, letting Leaf go and challenge the Indigo Pokémon League. Thier she faces the Elite 4, the four allegedly best trainers in the Indigo Region (Kanto and Johto). After facing the final member, Lance, Leaf learns that Blue has already become the champion and now Leaf must face him. Leaf faces Blue in a battle where she ultimately wins and becomes the Pokémon Champion on the Indigo Region. Not much is known about Leaf after this point.

Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

She appears as a non-playable character in this game, under the name Green, like her manga counterpart. Her appearance is similar to the prototype female character that was supposed to appear in Pokémon Red and Green.

Masters EX

Leaf is shown in Masters EX, where she is shown to be a good friend with Red and Blue. Her main goal is to be on par with Red and possibly to defeat him, but she isn't as strong as him and cannot catch up with him.

Drill Dozer

Leaf's costume appears in Drill Dozer as one of Jill's alternative costume.

Super Smash Bros.

Leaf appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as alternative costume of the Pokémon Trainer. This is also the first game with official voice acting for her; she is voiced by Wakana Minami in the Japanese version, and in the English version by Kate Bristol. She also appears as a fighter spirit who can be obtained by purchasing from the vault shop after unlocking the Pokémon Trainer.

In Pokémon Evolutions

Green makes her appearance in The Discovery where she was on trial to find and catch Mewtwo. After making her across Nugget Bridge, she went into Cerulean Cave and found out that Trace was also looking for it. When Trace's Pidgeot was attacked by a swarm of Golbat and Zubat, Green continued to the end of the cave on her own. There, however, she was dismayed to learn that Elaine caught Mewtwo first. Upset by this, she challenged her to a battle, but was defeated. She then handed Elaine Mewtwo's Mega Stones and jokingly suggested she should consider becoming one of her Pokémon, along with Mewtwo.

Later, she then met up with Professor Oak in Pallet Town, apologizing to him that she didn't complete the Pokédex. Professor Oak, however, told her not to worry, as other Pallet Town Trainers have also been working on the same project, which was now complete. Just as Professor Oak received word from a colleague of his about a new species of Pokémon, Green left the laboratory with Elaine and Trace.

In the manga

Leaf has a counterpart named Green (Blue in Japan), who is based on the prototype female character. During her childhood, she was kidnapped by Ho-Oh and met and became close with Silver, who was also kidnapped by Ho-Oh. After they escaped, Green and Silver separated from each other in Johto, and while Green traveled to Kanto, Silver remained in Johto. Green later stole a Squirtle from Prof. Oak's Lab, and nicknamed him "Blasty".

Green makes her debut in Wartortle Wars, when she stole Red's badges. She later got a Pokédex from Prof. Oak after he defeated her in the Indigo Plateau. She later appeared in the Yellow arc and in the Crystal arc.

Since the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, she has a new outfit, which is Leaf's outfit in the games. Green also appeared with her new outfit in the Emerald arc and in the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc alongside Red.

Trivia

Leaf and Lyra are the only protagonists in the series not to debut in the same generation as their male counterparts.
In the Generation I games Red & Green, Leaf, then known as the prototype female character, was supposed to appear in the games, but the idea was scrapped.
- However, in the manga, she had a counterpart based on her named Green (Blue in Japan).
  - Also, in Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee!, she is called Green, like her manga counterpart.
Leaf is included by some fans alongside Red and Blue in Alola, or is shown in Alola. However, it is not canon, although her picture used as a reference is the most common interpretation of how she would appear all aged up, wearing a shirt with 04 on it to reference the fact her game came out in 2004, akin to Red wearing a shirt with 96 on it as Red and Blue released in 1996.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, one of Jigglypuff's alternate costumes includes Leaf's hat. In opposition, Pikachu can wear Red's hat.
