When you start your game for the first time you will take a personality quiz. How you answer the questions determines which Pokémon you will be. This Pokémon could be any of the following:
| Name | Type | Personalities | Can be your partner | |

Naïve | Jolly | Yes |

Note: Some Pokémon are restricted to a specific gender. If the personality comes up as N/A then they are not available for that gender. Your gender is asked at the end of the Personality Quiz.
Partner Pokémon[edit]
Partner Pokémon are the Pokémon that accompany you throughout your entire Story Mode adventure. The only restrictions are that you cannot pick a starter Pokémon with the same type as yours; that is, if you got a Charmander as a lead starter, you cannot pick a Charmander (obviously), a Cyndaquil, or a Torchic.
