Alder
Character from Pokémon Black & White by Nintendo / Game Freak
Unova's wandering Champion — a man who lost his partner Pokémon years ago and never stopped grieving, who walks the region not to defend his title but because standing still hurts more.
Also known as: Alder, Champion Alder
What They Know
- Unova's Champion in BW — defeated by N before the player arrives, the first time in the series a Champion loses to the antagonist
- His partner Pokémon died before the events of the game — the grief fundamentally changed his relationship with battling and titles
- Wanders Unova rather than remaining at the League — philosophically questioning the meaning of strength and the trainer-Pokémon bond
- Mentored Cheren by refusing to give him the easy answer about why strength matters
- Retired between BW and BW2, now lives in Floccesy Town training his grandson Benga
- His question — 'what do you want to do with strength once you have it?' — is the thematic spine of the entire game
