Q&A
1. Who is the most important person in your life? Why?
My grandfather. There's a lot of honor in being an Oak, and it was for him that I started training.
2. How do you think you perform in a crisis?
It depends on what "crisis" means. I can handle any situation I get myself into.
3. Did you have a hero or a special role model while growing up? Describe them.
...My grandpa. He used to be a very powerful trainer, himself. I wouldn't call my former teacher, Chuck, a role model exactly. But I do respect him.
4. How much do you value power? What is the limit of what you'd do to possess it?
Power is important. But it's something to work hard towards, not to just take. That defeats the purpose of working towards it.
5. What's your opinion on species unlike your own? Do you treat them the same, or differently? Are they less important than your own kind or on equal standing?
You're talking about Pokémon? They're worth respect, because they have a strength in them that we count on every day.
6. So how much hair gel do you go through every morning to get your hair like that?
I don't spend much time on my hair.
7. So what are your dreams for the future? Do they involve become a professor and losing all credibility as a trainer? That's what Gary Oak did.
Daisy has been working to take over grandpa's business. It'd make me a waste of time and space to try and get involved.

Strengths:
-As a whole, his Pokémon are quite a bit like Green: all too serious, devoted to training, and independent thinkers. But unlike their trainer, they are very obedient and tend not to be trouble-makers on their own. They're well-trained enough to be left alone to work at the Gym, which is otherwise completely unheard of for trained Pokémon. Green's typical lineups have very excellent type coverage, and have a unique skill that makes them worth Green's time and effort.

-Scizor has been with Green since he was very young. Though extremely dangerous, it is as calm and cool-headed as its Trainer, perhaps resembling Green the most out of any of his Pokémon, as Aitaro and Poli resemble Gold and Red respectively. All things considered, for its species, Scizor is quite Docile.

-Charizard is a lot more energetic and Bold than most of Green's Pokémon. It's a little more aggressive, and a little more daring. Under Red's care, it is probably quite a reckless fighter, requiring Green's tutelage to keep it in check.

-Rhydon is a very Mild-mannered and obedient Pokémon, making it ideal for what Green was using it for: reading and learning that magnificent bastard Giovanni's book.

-Green uses his "sight" to combat multiple threats, including Agatha and Chuck, two of his most difficult and personal battles. His stubbornness worked in his favor in those battles, as well as his ability to emotionally detach himself to avoid acting reckless. His tactical precision is apparent when he fights both with and against Koga, who is himself a master of subtlety.

His lack of guttural, raw energy and passion is what keeps him on the sidelines while Red leads the charge. What he does instead is create the plan for Red to follow, and provide support, conceding to him when he knows that Red's the one who needs to take the wheel. "Know your limits", he said at the very beginning.
