Who is the nonbinary Pokémon Trainer?
In recent years, representation in popular media has been a crucial topic, particularly when it comes to identities that were previously marginalized. In the world of Pokémon, representation has taken center stage with the introduction of non-binary characters. While there is still more progress to be made, steps have been taken to add diversity and inclusivity to the Pokémon universe. Here, we’ll delve into the question of who is the nonbinary Pokémon Trainer.
Carter’s Canon Confirmation
In an interview, the game designer of Pokémon Unbra confirmed that the nonbinary protagonist, Carter, is the first nonbinary option for players in a mainline Pokémon game (Source). Carter is referred to by both male (Cole) and female (Cindy) pronouns, implying that their identity is inclusive of both aspects. While this representation isn’t unique to Carter (we’ll discuss this below), Carter remains the primary nonbinary lead.
Nemona and the Possibilities
A different aspect is Nemona, a researcher in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, who exhibits notable interest in battling and creating connections. Some players, particularly within the Fandom and Twitter community, have analyzed her dialogues and deduced she has the hots for the player character, which, whether intentional or not, shows an underlying attraction or, at least, friendly intent.
Morpeko – A Different Form of Affection?
Pokémon can occasionally be attributed to people they admire. In a Serebii forum post from 2023, we can find people saying ‘someone’s eye’s shine’ about what they can do to that person.
This quote speaks to having a special link between
people they interact with them. If she wants
someone to watch them to be ‘wonder-struck’,
to make sure they don’t feel their feelings ignored’
is like a confession as if in a battle match.
