*Cheren's gym leader title in Pokémon Black 2 and White Versions 2 is '''"The Person Who Seeks Right Path"'''.
 
*In [[Pokémon Black and White]], Cheren is the first rival to wear glasses.
 
*He is one of only 3 characters in Black and White to have animated sprites; Bianca and N are the other two.
 
*His Elemental Monkey matches the type of the player's starter in Black and White.
 
*Cheren is the second rival in the Pokémon series to become a Gym Leader in the direct sequel to the game he was introduced in, the other being [[Blue]].
 
*It is revealed that Cheren had just recently become a Gym Leader, because when the player was about to challenge him, he said it was his "First battle as a Gym Leader".
 
*Cheren was voiced by [[Jason Griffith]] in the animated trailer for [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black and White 2]].
  +
*Ironically as a [[Gym Leader]] in [[Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2]] his signature [[Pokemon]] are members from the [[Lillipup]] family but in [[Pokemon Black and Pokemon White]], [[Bianca]] has members from the [[Lillipup]] family.
  +
*Strangely, in Black and White, Cheren wears glasses, but in B2W2 he doesn't. This is noticed by [[Colress]]. A logical explanation for this could be that Cheren decided to use contacts instead of glasses during the timeskip.

Black and White

File:Cheren.png

Cheren in Black and White.

Cheren is a very intelligent boy. His starter will always have an advantage over it and he will often challenge you to battles.

Cheren is one of player's friends who will be encountered on his/her journey and also battles him/her after the player defeats every gym leader. After the player receive the Freeze Badge, Cheren helps him/her beat Team Plasma in Dragonspiral Tower and gives useful tips. He is one of the characters who receives a starter as a present from Professor Juniper.

Since Bianca chose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage against the player character's, he has no other choice but to take the Pokémon with a type advantage, though he said he wanted that Pokémon from the start. He later reappears many times throughout the game to battle him/her, sometimes giving the items when the player defeat him. His goal, like many other previous rivals, is to become the Pokémon Champion. The player character will challenge Cheren right before entering Victory Road, and is then seen with Champion Alder before the character faces N, and Ghetsis.

After defeating N and Ghetsis, Cheren appears before his house, where he says that he is going to explore the region again, starting from Route 1.

He can later be seen outside of Nimbasa City, where he recalls the day that he met Alder, and how it was the start of his new look on becoming stronger. He then says he will go to the Pokémon League, where he will battle you, just like the old times. He will be waiting for you at the top of Victory Road where you can battle him again once a day.

Black 2 & White 2

Cheren will appear in Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 as a Normal-type Gym Leader. He serves as a replacement for Lenora and will award the Basic Badge to challengers who defeat him. If you call him on the Xtransceiver, he will talk about the types your Pokémon are weak against, and your Pokémon abilities.

Manga

Unlike in the game, his starter is weaker compared to the main character.

Trivia

  • Cheren's gym leader title in Pokémon Black 2 and White Versions 2 is "The Person Who Seeks Right Path".
  • In Pokémon Black and White, Cheren is the first rival to wear glasses.
  • He is one of only 3 characters in Black and White to have animated sprites; Bianca and N are the other two.
  • His Elemental Monkey matches the type of the player's starter in Black and White.
  • Cheren is the second rival in the Pokémon series to become a Gym Leader in the direct sequel to the game he was introduced in, the other being Blue.
  • It is revealed that Cheren had just recently become a Gym Leader, because when the player was about to challenge him, he said it was his "First battle as a Gym Leader".
  • Cheren was voiced by Jason Griffith in the animated trailer for Pokémon Black and White 2.
  • Ironically as a Gym Leader in Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 his signature Pokemon are members from the Lillipup family but in Pokemon Black and Pokemon White, Bianca has members from the Lillipup family.
  • Strangely, in Black and White, Cheren wears glasses, but in B2W2 he doesn't. This is noticed by Colress. A logical explanation for this could be that Cheren decided to use contacts instead of glasses during the timeskip.
