This article is about the game character Barry (game). For other uses, see Barry.

Barry (Japanese: ジュン, Jun) is the rival character from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Personality

Barry is often clumsy, he repeatedly bumps into the player and demands the player to pay him a fine. But very often, (if not always) he easily forgets and helps and/or battles the player. He is quite fond of the Gym Leader Crasher Wake. Barry is the son of Palmer one of Sinnoh's five Frontier Brain's. Barry wants to be just like his father and he trains hard to achieve this ambition. He and his father are very similar: they are constantly in a hurry, running into people, even the player, and also react the same when they bump into them.

Barry became a lot more serious, realistic, and mature after his biggest defeat against Jupiter. He also made it his goal to defeat her, which he later does after the player and him teamed up when Team Galactic were calling the two legendary Pokémon.

Game Roles

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Version

Like in every Pokémon game, Barry lives in the same town as the starter: Twinleaf Town, known as the player's friend and soon the player's rival in Pokémon Battles. After the news on the television about the "Red Gyarados", the player's mother in the game tells the player that he came by. When the player visits him, he tells him/her to go with him to Lake Verity. He is waiting for the player at Route 202. When the player arrives he then tells him/her about what has been showed on TV about the Red Gyarados and that he thinks the Gyarados has appeared at their lake. The player and Barry team up and go to Lake Verity, where the player sees Professor Rowan and Dawn/Lucas. Professor Rowan forgot his briefcase, so Barry and the player decide to check it out, but both of them are attacked by Starlys which make them use the Pokémon that are in the briefcase.

The player and Barry are getting out of Lake Verity, after which they meet Dawn/Lucas and Professor Rowan again. He decides to give them the Pokémon that they used in the battle against the Starlys. After the conversation Barry is already gone starting with his Pokémon Battle, but he will be seen again afterwards, challenging or helping the player.

Pokémon Platinum Version

In Pokémon Platinum, the story-line is a bit different. Barry wants to jump over the grass to reach Professor Rowan's lab. There the player and Barry meet Professor Rowan and gives them a Pokémon of their choice. That's when Barry will fight the player for the first time. After the battle, he is trying to capture the legendary Pokémon for Professor Rowan as thanks for giving him a starter Pokémon, but he has no PokéBalls, so he goes to Sandgem Town.
